You can still pre-order from Walmart and Target.

The Deluxe is the one that is really limited because they won't have those after they are all sold out. The Standard package is the one that's going to be sold throughout the console's lifetime.

wait wtf nooo
i need the deluxe but i can't afford it right now

[Marq]

WOW!

[(Cole)]

Why is it being released in NA before Japan? Does it normally work like that?

They better have mine when I go to pick it up

Glad I preordered it when I did not here for the Basic version.

This reminds me of the LEGENDARY Wii launch.

Joystiq's Blake Snow lost his media badge Friday morning when he was nearly trampled by hundreds of Wii procrastinaters stampeding towards the Nintendo booth.

The BBC has learned that high street retailers are struggling to keep up with demand for the console, which has been in short supply for months.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/7094069.stm

The Nintendo Wii launched more than a year ago, and the system is still incredibly hard to find. This long after the system started shipping, people are still camping in front of stores as soon as they hear about new shipments.

"You know, three years later, we finally have enough inventory on the shelf", says GameStop SVP of Merchandising Bob McKenzie.

As the holiday shopping season heats up this week, the hopes of many video-game-greedy kids may be dashed as shortages of Nintendo's Wii force parents to turn to other gaming consoles, such as the PlayStation 3 or the Xbox 360, to fill the gap, analysts say.

Even non-gamers know that the Wii is perpetually unavailable. In fact, it is widely considered to be the most demanded console ever made. If you want a Wii, you either have to stalk retailers and online vendors day and night, or pay exorbitant amounts to buy them secondhand or from less traditional retailers.

I pre-ordered because I was scared for a similar situation like this. Looks like history is going to repeat itself.

I'm sure Monster Hunter will help Wii U a lot. It's probably the most popular video game franchise in Japan right now

[Remixed]

I didn't even know it was available for pre order

YAAAAAAAAAAS! And it's the ONLY bundle available in Japan, not even Nintendo is packing the Wii U with their own games.



Monster Hunter.

I'll definitely buy my copy, Capcom said they will release the english version by March 2013.

[Attitude]

Amazon won't be selling the Wii U. Just in case you've been waiting out for them.

[Sapphire]

I cant at Sony n Xbox stans that cursing Bayonetta 2 being exclusive on Wii U

gerlllsss

'no Nintendo no Bayonetta 2'

deal with it!!!

[ABEL-o-matic]

OH MY GOD those pics and the video If only album sales are like Wiis.. Well only Adele..

[Drais.]

Bayonetta 2?!?!

[Haus]

I remember with the Wii, me and my mom camped out at this local store starting at 4am and no one was even there until 7:30, 30 minutes before opening the person behind us was this nice old lady wanting to get one for her grandchildren, and there were 2 other people that were going to sell them on eBay. Luckily our store only got 2 consoles, so it was just me and the grandmother that got one

I don't think I'll be getting a Wii U, my gaming interests have kind of changed beyond what Wii would be offering, and the only game I still play on my Wii is Mario Kart. But I'm sure the Wii U will slay this holiday season.

[YvesBeaumont]

i'm buying this system JUST for Bayonetta 2.

[Forevermore]

I should have preordered it already. I didn't know it was going to sell out like this.

Legendary Nintendo.

[DripDrip]

Buying this for Bayonetta 2, SSB4, Super Mario, Zelda, and Monster Hunter.

[Ady.]

Price is really good. Yayyy!
