mom_of2boyz Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 Finally got my wii today. Went into walmart to look for a TV stand, and figured there was no chance there would be wii since it was 3 oclock. Walked in and they had 2 in the stand. Then, went to target looking for the same thing and they had nunchucks(I already had an extra wiimote). Super extra lucky today.Our Walmart got 6 in yesterday, the first three went quickly, and as of around 3 or 3:30 there were still 3 left. I guess maybe people are just not expecting them to be in stock, so they aren't really calling or asking about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
racerfan Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I think you need the gamecube controllers to play the gamecube games. Lucky for us we originally had 2 gamecube systems and kept the controllers when we got rid of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kandy Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 I set mine up last night. New Wii came with the new wrist strap but the extra controller did not. I need to get that replaced.! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HELP? THANKSYes, you do. WM.com or Target.com has 2-packs of wireless GC controllers for $19.99. The controllers when I got them for my GC were $19.99-29.99 each, so $19.99 for two is a good deal (mine are not wireless). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

littlesdcen Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Has Anyone else had to have an advanced replacement because of the system not reading the disk??? I want to know if this is a common problem. Or I just got the lemon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rimshot Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 We got two Wii's and one quit working and I got the advanced replacement. I called last Tuesday and the replacement arrived Friday by UPS. They do ask for the Credit Card Number in case you don't return the original unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

J_Man Posted January 10, 2007 Share Posted January 10, 2007 Anybody needing HD cables for the Wii, I just picked up I just picked up one by Psyclone Essentials at Wal-Mart today. They're charging $1.72 for it. The official cable coming out I think is suppose to run about $30. Still no Wii systems either in any store I've been in, Even though i have one, I'm still looking. I did see Target with about 30 of them the middle of last week. They sold quick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmmiller Posted January 11, 2007 Share Posted January 11, 2007 Question regarding the Wii using gamecube games w/contollers. My DS is in the middle of playing a gamecube game (madden) on his wii, and it keeps shutting down on him saying to read the gamecube manual. Is anyone having this issue? I havent seen the screen, cuz he shuts it down in frustration everytime, but its happened at least twice now. TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaFees Posted January 13, 2007 Share Posted January 13, 2007 Hey I thought I'd help everyone out on here. (Apologies if this has already been mentioned) I ordered an extra controller off of Nintendo.com this past saturday and it arrived by Wednesday. Now that's not the help I'm talking about, check this out http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16878190051Wiimote @ Newegg and http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.asp?Item=N82E16878190052Nunchuk @ Newegg I cannot say the price is necessarily good, however I will say if you are looking for a controller here's on more place you can find one. Word of caution though the website says their OEM, yet the pictures show the controllers in their standard packaging. So there you go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

disneynutangie Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I went to Best Buy and couldn't get anything out of the sales people. Not even as much as when was the last time they got them in and how many. I sure hope they have them. I need on for my son for his birthday on February 14th.

disneynutangie Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Just thinking. With most of the kids out of school on Monday I wonder if that is why they are holding them back until then. Hmmm. I know I am thinking too much on this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whender6189 Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Well according to : http://www.ps3seeker.com/wii the rumored date is now the 21st for bestbuy and target. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveL Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 Usually items like this can be found pretty easy by now after the holidays. Looks like Nintendo didn't realize the demand that the Wii would have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonesy Posted January 14, 2007 Share Posted January 14, 2007 I was by Best Buy today and asked the guy in games, he said they haven't been told anything, he searched the back and doesn't see any in stock at this time. But then he told me he searched on line and one of the seeker sites said that they would be getting more in on the 21st! lol That struck me as so funny that he works there and was surfing to find out when they would be getting more, and told me like is was a deep dark secret....

verbal8 Posted January 15, 2007 Share Posted January 15, 2007 Usually items like this can be found pretty easy by now after the holidays. Looks like Nintendo didn't realize the demand that the Wii would have!I think it is a question of not meeting production goals. They wanted to have 4 million worldwide by the end of 2006. Based on the US numbers it does not look like they reached that goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
