Use that to calculate how much you're gonna pay for the Wii + other stuff. It's just for fun =]

Mine is:
$489.84

MN tax- 6.5%
Wii system (with one controller etc)
1 Wii Mote
1 Wii nunchuck
1 Retro controller

Trauma Center: Second Opinion
Red Steel
Super Monkey Ball: Banana Blitz
Zelda Twilight Princess (I already paid for this though)

Also I haven't heard any PREORDERS yet.. except for Amazon, FYE, and LikSang.. Gamestop/EB will get there's a little bit later..

[Take Five]

$396.78

-1 retro controller
-zelda twilight princess
-red steel

might cost more later though...i'm not sure if i want a 2nd controller yet or virtual console points.

[SlashRain]

^ im probably going to get the same as you. I would want another control, but no good multiplayer games yet

lol, buying all games and the max of everything else + at the highest tax rate (NY) will cost $1961.20



http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iLDQ0QFm8ZA - I can see alot of pain coming from this game... espicaially if people are standing close to eachother

[nisee]

$325.47

wii + zelda.

stupid 8.5% tax rates! >_<

EB started to take orders today. yay!!

Go Naruto! - Possible hope ^^?
http://wii.ign.com/articles/734/734871p1.html

Takara / Tomy will be hitting the Wii with a new motion battle entry in its hit fighting Naruto franchise based on the manga and anime series. What exactly this game will be is still unknown, and perhaps undecided, but the company cut a trailer for it anyway.


The teaser on the TGS show floor was really just a glancing look at all the GameCube titles from the company. The trailer counted up through the multiple versions out now in Japan (a few have also been released in America), finally burning away to show the Wii game's logo. Nothing specific was said about the Wii game, but given that this version so pridefully showcased the evolution and success of the Cube games, it's logical to assume that this might be a sequel to the Cube series. (The teaser could have just as easily been a bunch of scenes from the anime, just showing the series in general, so we're assuming this was done for a reason.) Footage from the four-player versions of the game seemed to stick out most in the countdown, so we'll take a guess and say that this one might also follow suit for four.
We'll have more on Naruto when Tomy makes public its plans for this series entry.

Not really much.. but there is a thought about it =]. It would be nice if they had it on Wii!

Damn, I still hope they're still taking pre-orders!

[Nightmare]

Is EB really taking preorders??

I just called Gamestop, and they're still not taking any pre-orders, yet...

Maybe I should camp out...

[1SwtDeception]

I'd camp out! But I'll just call GS everyday or something.. haha

But Lik-Sang apparently has some preorders.. but it's not permanent?

reminds me of the southpark character maker too.

I cant even make one that looks like me.

i'm wondering how metal slug will work with the wii controller. i kinda want that game now.

[CK92842]

Here is mine...



I'll most likely now grab one at launch, just to be on the safe side. I hope Nintendo doesn't repeat the error of MSFT and not having enough to meet demand. I'll be playing old school games for awhile until Smash Bros Brawl & Biohazard Umbrella Chronicles.

[Malice_Kaiser]

I was talking to some guys at school today, and they said that the Wii was gonna be up for preorder this Thursday! Anyone know anything about this?

[Nightmare]

^I'm not sure the exact day, but I did heard it'll be sometime by the end of this week for Gamestop.


Pre-ordering doesn't really guarantee you a Wii. So, I might not pre-order and just burst into the store.

Or hopefully my friend can pull a few strings and guarantee me a Wii.

[1SwtDeception]

For some reason I hear it's Friday:
http://www.thewiire.com/news/513/1/GameSto...rs_Begin_Oct_13

Retailer GameStop confirmed to The Wiire today that Wii pre-orders for North America will begin Friday, October 13.

While Wii games have been available for pre-order for a few weeks now, Friday will mark the first time GameStop has opened up pre-orders on the hardware. In order to make a pre-order, gamers will need to go to a local GameStop or EB Games and ask to put down a set amount of money (between $25 and $50) on a Wii. The money placed on a pre-order goes towards the final price of the product.

North America is expected to receive approximately two million Wii units by the end of 2006, with half of that shipment expected at launch, though recent reports of expectation-exceeding Wii production may cause those numbers to change.

The Wiire could not confirm the pre-order status of GameStop/EB stores in territories outside North America, nor of other retailers such as Target, Wal-Mart and Toys 'R Us.

GameStop, which recently merged with EB Games, is a specialty video game retailer, but also sells accessories, movies, action figures and playing cards.

Stay with The Wiire for all the latest.

Possibly a rumor? or else next Tuesday.. or tomorrow -___-.. all these "unreliable sources"

[nisee]

^ yea, high possibility this friday. my friend's bf is a manager at a game shop, so it's pretty reliable info, i think ... last time i said eb was taking orders was just a big rumor i heard. sorry

[skwannabe]

I really want to preorder one but I can't believe it doesn't gurantee a Wii for you. ><

[KAME]

im camping out with a couple of my friends that are huge nintendo freaks (as am I)
don't know if I'll buy one though.. I kind of want to buy an xbox360 lol and I can play the wii at my friends house. I might buy it after the new resident evil that's supposed to come out on it though~

[1SwtDeception]

Well GS/EB are getting roughly 30-40 units per store.. it's almost like how can you not get one.

More confirmation with written email.. thingy:
http://gonintendo.com/?p=6660

I made a trip out to the mall to see what was up with these EB Games/GameStop preorders. Now I can finally put an end to all these rumors. It is 100% official, both outlets will be taking Wii reserves starting Friday, October 13th. I am out posting this from the mall right now actually!

I have the confirmation email in my hands right now to prove that this is really happening. I will scan it as soon as I get home. Trust me guys, this is completely true. Expect the scan of the company email within the hour.

Here is the email thing:
