Mine is already guaranteed at a Best Buy where no launch party or anything is happening. So I will go to a launch party just to Mario Kart and Pokemon up the place.
I think everyone will have a better chance at getting one this time. Nintendo did say they will have more units for launch.

I think as long as you attempt to hit a few stores like Walmart, Target, Toys R Us, and Best Buy on Sunday morning, you'll be able to score at least a Basic set. Of those four, only Walmart has advertised having Wii U in stock that day, so you may want to start there first. If the Wii U is going to become difficult to find, it's only after the first wave of media coverage that describes the initial sell-out - people want what they can't get!

well, you guys where right :)..
I remember in 2007 getting up at 2AM for the wii freezing my ass off and them being sold out for months after the fact. Now that I got to the shore house and saw my wii was under a foot of sea water (probably none operational, but i hope the games can be transferred) just wanted to make sure i got my u :).
got there at 7 AM this time and only 16 people in f ront of me at wayne TRU..
