When should I arrive at Best Buy to get a Wii....?

I live in Buffalo NY, and I've been talking to one of my friends, and he says I should go at like 3 am, and I think around 5 am should be fine. I have many opitions actually to where to get a Wii since my Target, Bestbuy, Circuit City, and Walmart are all getting Wiis (around 40 or more), but don't know where to show up. Thanks!

Best Buy at 4 Am and take this for good measure.

I have that book! Great Read! Yes 5 am should be fine. What games are you thinking of getting at Lanuch?

Well, I'm barely on the edge money wise, but I think I'll be able to afford a copy of Twilight Princess. I've been DIEING to play that.

Nintendo has been manufacturing for months, I don't think you're going to need to camp out... worst case scenario, you have to wait a few days, maybe a week for a new shipment...

Thats true. This reminds me of the DS Lanuch I went into the Local Ebgames and I saw many DS's and they weren't on Pre-Order. Anywho if you don't want to camp out, just go when the store opens or some time during the Afternoon. Does anyone know if that Dragonball Z budokai Tenchi 3 is still a Lanuch title? I wanted to pick that one up. I am waiting until Christmas. Who knows maybe "Santa" will leave me a Wii under the Christmas Tree!

There should really be enough Wiis for all of you.
If you have so many stores around you and all get around 40 units you should be able to get one.
But camping out could be a nice experience...
Good luck for you. Should you get one, please report.

If I do get one, I will report...GREAT NEWS!

Also, thats a big reason why I'd like to "camp out" for the Wii. I think it would be fun and a cool experiance. A bunch of my friends are coming, and think it will be fun. Also, anyone ever camp out for a system or something? One of my friends camp out for a furby once...lol. Lastly, I was thinking of what to bring, and i though maybe a pillow/blanket, drinks, DS, chair maybe....

I have a buddy that has been out in front of Best Buy since Tuesday for the PS3.

lolPS3. Poor Guy. Too bad I guess he will end up forking out almost $1000 on system that really doesn't do anything that's all that "New". I really can't wait anymore for the Wii...It's so close... This Sunday! But I have to wait some more until Christmas.... V__V
I can't wait to PWN people(Family and Friends) at Wii Sports. Super Money Ball Banana Blitz got a good review at IGN, I can't wait for that one either! I may still go down to Best Buy or FutureShop on Sunday just to see if they have any Wii demo unit's set up. I will also gave a report on how the controller is and everything once I try it!

Also I don't know what VC games to get when I get my Wii. Hopefully there more VC titles by the time Christmas comes around.

I have an idea bring a Video Camra with you an Make a Video of the Wii Lanuch! Just an idea!

Yeah, I told him he was a dumbass. Doesn't bother me though. Hopefully most people spend their money on PS3 items this Friday. More of a chance I'll get a Wii.

Uh... if he buys the premium package and he lives in Denmark, then yeah, it's almost a thousand.

Otherwise, you might want to check your facts and/or round up to the nearest hundred in stead of rounding up to the nearest thousand.

lol sorry! Man waiting for the Wii is like waiting for Christmas times 1000!

Well, I just found out Best Buy is giving out tickets 1 hour before the store opens, so they are giving out tickets here at 8am..... Is 5am still ok you think?

5am does seem like a good time. Wow I can't belive it Sunday is the day. Man I still remember the days of E3 2005...Too bad were only getting the White Wii. I wanted the one they first showed us.

I think to be safe I'm going at 4am. Man, I'm so psyched! I really can't wait, but I think I'm gonig to go to bed in maybe 4 hours so I'm not tired. I don't know if I'll be able to pick up Zelda (I'm about 20 dollars short), but if I get the system, I'll be happy enough!

Is this something that could end up like the PS3?
I mean will the ebay price double for this?

I just waited in line 2 hours for friends so they could get a Wii. Our local Wal-Mart is getting about 24 Wiis and 17 copies of Twilight Princess. Lucky me I got #16. Only problem is i had to miss the first quarter of OSU/Mich, but hey, tonight is gonna rock. Also, they're selling games early at ours before the console comes out (Excite Truck and Twilight Princess being the exception). I'll post a review online as soon as we get the thing working.

Well, there were only 20 at our Wal-Mart, so I'm assed out :/

Futureshop opens in 6 hours. I brought my brother coffee 3 hours ago. There were about 15 people waiting. Apparently he arrived 3 hours before that. I was at work. He's first in line.

12 hours. Damn.

That's my story. As a sidenote, I think he intends on selling it. For 12 hours worth of work, I doubt it's worth it. Plus I know his girlfriend will get him to open it, so the value goes out the window.

Maybe I'll go down there.

He is aware that there is no shortage of Wiis at all, right? selling a console that you can buy brand new in the store isn't going to generate a profit.

Nintendo has been manufacturing for months. I think we'll have a steady supply for a good long while.

I don't know... apparently the store he went to sold out. So maybe it'll work out for him.

I agree with you, though, Luke. Supply sounds like it ought to be high enough to keep ebay prices down. He seems to think he'll make enough to buy another wii in a month or something. We'll see how it goes, since he's going for it regardless.

Well, I got my Wii!!! I'm so excited. My Best Buy got 84 and I was number 78 in line!!! I also picked up Twilight Princess with it. Its really fun. Graphics are pretty nice. Wii Sports is really fun once you get used to it. I got there at 3:00am and was 81 in line (three people in front of me left before they gave out tickets so I was 78) when I got there. It was worth it though!

May I ask, does anyone here sweat much while playing the Wii? I have a feeling playing Wii sports for then an Hour will work up a sweat for sure.

Nah, not really. Then again, I didn't play for an hour straight. I wouldn't worry about it. It plays great. It took a little bit to get used to all the games (on wii sports) but it is really fun now. Also, with Zelda, the Wii is great! I'm still having trouble setting up connection so I can access the Wii Shopping....I don't know why though....anyways, get a Wii! You won't regret it!

Alot of people are having Trouble connecting. Don't worry about it. The servers were down today I heard. And yes I can't wait to get a Wii. But the 360 will tie me over until Christmas. I also didn't pay "Full" price on the 360 I split the Bill with a Family member so I payed half. Anywho I can't wait for the Wii. The new DBZ game looks great. Same with Super Monkey Ball Banana Blitz.

I'll have to wait for Christmas or my birthday in late February to get one; but it'll definitely by my choice over the PS3.
For the Wii owners, how is the control with the Wiimote? Do you absolutely have to stand up (every picture I've seen of someone playing, they're standing with it)? I'm just wondering of the ol' back injury can take it.

I sit down in a chair in front of my tv. I normal lay down on my couch (which is on an angle from my tv) and its a pay to play the Wii doing that, but I brought a nice chair into my room and I sit in that while playing. The remote is very sensetive. Takes a little getting used to but not much. Also, you can swicth the sensetivity.

Thats nice how you can Switch the sensetivity on the Wiimote. Oh and Malon have you bought any VC games yet? I know the VC line up at Lanuch was kind of weak.

I think that the VC game selection is so weak it's hurting the selling point. Of the 29 games announced only 9 are listed for release on Nov. 19th. I would say of the games they list the best ones are all Sega games. I know it doesn't matter who makes them, but this is Nintendo's product, where are the Nintendo games? I mean sure Mario64, Sim City, F-Zero, Legend of Zelda, and Donkey Kong are good, but I would sooner grab gunstar heroes, mean bean machine, or toe jam over any of those. And as far as I know they discontinued the NES Classics on GBA, and i'm not sure about the SNES remakes for GBA so it's not like they'd cut into those sales.
Sorry for the rant, but the whole VC concept boggles my mind.

I know I read somewhere that Super Mario World would be available at launch, but does anybody know for sure?

I would love more information on the VC, especially if somebody with a Wii could let me know if the selection is more or less what is on the nintendo website. Aslo, is the game yours forever? Do you download it to your wii and can play it without an internet connection?

I also heard that SMW was going to be at Lanuch...but I guess not
I am pretty sure once you buy a VC game it's yours to keep and you can play it offline. Hopefully they would add some Online to some games, Like Mario Kart 64 or Mario Party..ETC.

Don't fear, the good titlles are still to come.
They won't give you all the AAA stuff right at the beginning.

I hope for Secret of Evermore, as I never got that on my SNES, but still want to try it...

Another thing I am upset about is the Blue light. It doesn't stay on while the Wii is on. Only when you turn it one. Enter/Remove a Disk or when you get an Email. And it only lasts for a few moments. It's alright not that big of a biggie. Hopefully when I get the Wii I will be able to buy SMW on VC.
