Guest Smues Report post Posted February 16, 2007 For the first time I finally saw some Wiis in a store (Walmart). I think it actually took longer last year before I ever saw an Xbox 360. I'm curious enough to probably go back to Walmart tonight and see if any are left or if they still get gobbled up quickly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Big Ol' Smitty 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 I went to about five stores in Lexington today to try to find a Wii. No luck Too bad for them because I planned on buying the system, 1 or 2 of the nunchucks, Wii Play, Zelda, & maybe the classic controller. But alas...

dubq 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 How is it that there isn't enough stock for this system.. still? I'm starting to wonder why Nintendo doesn't just offer the ability to order the console online directly from them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Boner Kawanger 0 Report post Posted February 18, 2007 I picked up a Classic Controller over the weekend. Does anyone know why it looks like it can snap onto something? The button on the top middle looks to release it from whatever it may or may not connect to.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Queen Leelee Report post Posted February 19, 2007 Use itrackr. Wait until Target/Circuit City gets any (EB and Gamestop's inventory is wrong and useless, don't bother with them). They'll usually put them on the shelves 15-30 minutes later, so you don't even have to hurry. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 I have it open on my browser right now so... Sadly 1/23 stores "have" Wii's, the 1 being a EB in Wheaton that has "had" one all weekend, despite not having it on Friday. I'm tryin'! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Smues Report post Posted February 19, 2007 Is New Adventure Island more like NES Adventure Island 1, or more like NES Adventure Island 2&3? Edit: Looks like its similiar to Adventure Island 1. Boo. I'll still probably buy it when I get home. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AndrewTS 0 Report post Posted February 19, 2007 I'm guessing soon we're getting Donkey Kong Country Yeeeeeeeeah, who called it? Make sure to have your umbrellas ready while browsing game websites this week, to protect you from the collective pissing and moaning about DKC from the gaming press. In case you didn't get the memo, you're not allowed to like the game, since Miyamoto once expressed disgust over it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
EricMM 0 Report post Posted February 20, 2007 So here's the story: I hear that an FYE in Wheaton, MD has one. I am in College park, MD. Basically if DC is a clock, I have to go from say Two o clock to One o clock, maybe Twelve thirty. Maybe eight miles. Took about an hour. Missed the unit by half an hour. Should never have tried Tried all kinds of stores in the local mall, BBuy in the area. Nothing. Oh well, I had to try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
