Mokong Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Has this happened anywhere else? Apparently WiiPlay is not out till after Christmas now. Also NO extra Wiimotes available in Ireland outside of Dublin, has this happened in other European countries? It's a pretty bad balls up by NoE if you ask me, i was looking forward to playing 2 two player tennis, now nothing, no extra Wiimotes were shipped. WTF? :mad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
flameboy Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Yeah think maybe Nintendo is flooding the market with Wii Play so people will get that so they make more money. They obviously havn't accounted for people to buy 3rd and 4th which seems ludicrous seem as they are promoting it as a family console. At work we were down for 30 Wii Plays but only 6 remotes on their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Domstercool Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 *Strokes his Wiiplay and Wiimote package!* Preordered them ^_^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Eenuh Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 They were selling Wii Play here, but I don't know how many copies of that they have (I hope enough, cause I want it as a Christmas present). Don't know about controllers though; when the guy brought out the stuff they had in (it wasn't in store yet), he only showed a classic controller. So it's possible they don't really have any here... Might have to check that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mokong Posted December 8, 2006 Author Share Posted December 8, 2006 I preordered them too, teh store said they won't have Wiiplay till after Xmas, Wiimote they don't know when they'll have them, the only shops in Ireland that have extra wiimotes seems to be Dublin. I still got my extra Nunchuck but no extra wiimote to put it in I was so looking forward to two player tennis with my cousin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An automated call just told me "my order" will come today. Really hope I don't end up with just one remote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ramar Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 Managed to pick up Wii Play this morning after my exam in our local Game. Suprised they had any though. Our other Game had sold out and Gamestation hadn't received theres for launch. So chuffed I got it, because my launch line up is complete. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hero-of-Time Posted December 8, 2006 Share Posted December 8, 2006 I just got back from Gamestation and their shipment of Wii Play and remotes is stuck in France for some reason and many other stores are claiming this aswell.
