Posted November 5, 2006 As youve said which I dont disagree, Its extra hardware Im going to worry about next Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2006 All this talk of people worrying about the games and such has got me worrying now. I just hope I can get Zelda at launch,thats all really, if i can get the component cable and few extra wiimotes + nunchuks then ok, but im not bothered, but its zelda and the wii i want most. Damn you all, you should never get me worried, when i get worried i get extroumendously worried. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2006 I'm pretty sure Nintendo'll make as much Zeldas as Wii Sports. The first buyers will be 'hardcore' gamers by a large majority; Nintendo can expect 80% of all Wiis to sell with Zelda. Now it's Wii supply we really need. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 5, 2006 The only game which has a chance of selling out is Zelda,but people getting it at midnight launch should me fine. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2006 Yeah, i would preorder Zelda to make sure you get it. The other games won't sell out. Zelda and Wii-Play will be most popular. I recieved a letter thing from GAME today saying 'HOORAY!' Your getting a Wii at launch. Also they have included a limited edition Wii card which you put money on (from trade in games etc..) to help you pay off your Wii bits! Only thing is...i've gone with Gameplay..... Well done to GAME though for telling their customers who have got one, and who hasn't now, saves alot of dissapointment on the day. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2006 I got that thing through the post from GAME today today too Owen. Hooray!Your preorder was successful! You will get your hands on a Nintendo Wii at Launch* Please remember you MUST bring your preorder receipt into store on launch day as proof of deposit. Exclusively for you Make sure you come into store on 10th Novemberto pick up your Wii preoder pack+ which is loaded eith the latest info on the amazing Wii console and all the incredible new games you'll soon be playing. *GAME cannot be held responsible for changes in stock delivery dates or launch date however, however, you are guaranteed to recieve a Nintendo Wii from our launch deliveries. +Online customers will recieve an exclusive update or if you can't wait go to game.co.uk/wii I would do the Game Wii card thing too, but the info and the card are pointless.

Posted November 6, 2006 Yay! Got a letter from Game this morning telling me my preorder was a success and I WILL get a Wii at launch! It also says to come into the stor on 10th Nov. to pick up a "Wii Preorder Pack" which just includes info about games and stuff like that. I will be going into Game on Friday then to pick that up and to also see about preordering games. The limited edition Wii Giftcard is nice. It's a nice idea to let you save up money on the card so you can spread the cost of your Wii. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2006 Did you 3 pre-order online or in store?? I leave before the post comes so I don't know wheter I've got one yet!!! ARRRGGHH... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2006 I preordered in-store. :wink: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2006 I got one of those Game Wii info letter/card things too. Nice idea about the gift card, just wish it was given out sooner though, would have given you a bit more time to save a few extra pennies on to the card. I'm not bothered though, I think I have my funds sorted out, and will be buying my Wii, with Zelda and Monkey Ball on the 8th. No midnight launch in my area though. Gotta wait till 9am.

I would like Gameplay to let us know either way now as well cube_game but Like i said before, we should find out in the next couple of weeks i believe. If it's like the 360 launch.

Posted November 6, 2006 Anyone know if GAME's Irish stores are doing this? I hope to hell I'm getting a Wii.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2006 Did anyone by any chance pre order their Wii at the flagship HMV store on Londons Oxford Street? I did, and im slightly concerned now because I have heard NOTHING about stock allocations, nothing about a midnight event either. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted November 6, 2006 Apparently the local GAME is getting 30 machines and already has 45 pre-orders..... so it was too late for me to pre-order now or something I was told. Apparently there is another batch coming in just before Christmas. .....however this is just the rumours I'm hearing so believe what you like. Kind of looking forward to seeing how the launch actually goes and will now just pick up a Wii later in the year. Christmas is going to be expensive as it is!
