Those will be gone within 4 to 8 minutes, I'd wager.

Nice find, Bob

[Bobmuhthol]

Sold out.

[CrystalTears]

That was quick.

That was quick.

Edited my above post to reflect the absurdity that was that attempt at an actual inventory

[Celephais]

That's insane... how is this still possible?

Anyway, SBB should be in my mailbox when I get home from work today :giddy:

Wiis for $250? Hell, I would buy one...if I owned a TV.

In retrospect, I still should have bought one.

I'm getting a 360 and Rock Band over the weekend.. I don't know how readily I'll be able to throw Brawl in there too. :(

[bluefish]

Took me 2-3 weeks of rabidly stalking various internet sites to get my Wii last year...August or so. I ended up getting it from sears.com of all places. I can't believe there is still such a shortage, but I imagine a lot of it has to do with resellers buying up gobs of them.

Not a Wii, we're sold out.

HAHAHA...exactly

Circuit City has them now, but you're forced into buying a bundle where you also get three+ of the following:

Tiger Woods PGA Tour 08
Super Mario Galaxy
Mario Party 8
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games
Wii Play (get this)
Super Paper Mario
Super Smash Brothers Brawl (get this)
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption
Nyko Charge Station

Pretty bullshit that nunchucks aren't listed, but whatever. It's a Wii.

Any thoughts on Metroid? And nunchucks come with the console

Link in case anyone needs it: http://www.circuitcity.com/ccd/genericContent.do?oid=205269&linkid=j24021465&affiliateid=k137826&mid=&linkid=j13459594k1971&affiliateid=k1971&mid=sduidp0t769231

A guy I work with said Metroid is awesome and has some of the best controls with the Wii remote. I assumed it would be awkward but I haven't played it yet.

The console comes with 1 nunchuck; if you get Wii Play (obviously for the remote) you're going to need another.

doesn't matter anyway. SOLD OUT

edit: yeah...what SHM said

I have metroid and it is awesome, the controls are really fantastically laid out. As Bob said, one chuck w/ the console. SMG also has great controls, it doesn't use a lot of the motion sensing, but it plays like a 64 controler that lets you play w/ your arms apart (which is huge for the whole sitting way down and being a super couch potato).

Do you need chucks for each controller in SBB? I have 4 motes and 2 chucks, do I need to get 2 more to play 4 person SBB?

[Bobmuhthol]

LOL, it wasn't sold out when I posted it.

[Bobmuhthol]

<<Do you need chucks for each controller in SBB?>>

You can play with remote, remote+nunchuck, or classic controller. It just changes the button layout depending on what you do it with.

[NocturnalRob]

haha...i told the guy one office over about the best buy thing yesterday after it was sold out and he replied with "Please let me know next time there's a sale. I really need one of these." I told him about CC as soon as i read the post. About 5 minutes ago I hear this loud, "GODDAMNIT, WHAT THE FUCK?! NOOOOO!!" come from his office.

Apparently he missed the window. hahahaha...

I'm assuming the best layout is the remote+nunchuck? Obviously changes by taste, but I figure I don't want to gyp any of my friends w/ shitty controls (fucking amazon screwed up shipping, still haven't gotten SBB).

Can I use the GC plugs to play using a wavebird? (that's probably better than just remote... i got two classics for christmas but don't want to open them because they're worthless and I'd rather return them for dollahz)

Yes.

[Bobmuhthol]

I'm not positive on the GC thing, but I've been told that the classic controller is the closest Wii component to the Wavebird so the controls feel a lot better if you're used to playing Melee on it. Other than that, remote+nunchuck is the best way to play if you don't already have an affinity for GC.

[Bobmuhthol]

Toys R Us sucks dick, but you can get it from there if you want to pay ridiculous S&H + tax with a base cost of $500.

Wii, NiGHTS, Metroid, Rayman 2, Soulcalibur, Super Mario Galaxy.

[Numbers]

I've tried playing my copy of Smash with the Wiimote and nunchuck and classic controller. It works, but, meh. Playing with the Wii remote only is damn near impossible.

I use my Wavebird when playing. Pretty much the only way to play if you're not coming into the series new.

All I know is I love the baseball vs the plasma tv commercial.

Oh and I love that it's baseball season. Do they have online leagues for this shit yet ?

[LMingrone]

The Target near me had 20-30 Wii's out on the shelves the other day. It was like seeing a UFO or bigfoot.
