Man, it's so pretty
My mother is a genius, she somehow managed to get one (used my two aunts in two different towns to find one, and one got the LAST one!). I got TP with it, but have just played Sports so far, and am updating now so I can download the browser and do weather and later today I'll buy a VC game (got a classic controller too). It's so awesome! I was totally shocked as I didn't figure she had a shot at getting one. I hope some others here were as lucky!

I pre-ordered my Wii back in October. That is where I got the real "I got a Wii!" feeling. I was so excited once they counted us off at GameStop. Anyway, congrats on your Wii Get.

I haven't dived into Zelda yet, that'll be later tonight. I did get Bomberman, though, and enjoy about half an hour of it. I'll play more later. I like the classic controller!

Yeah that is my mistake. I assumed that the Reggie t-shirt photo was one that he took himself. Looking back, the URL has a date of November 19th (and I think it was used on these forums a while back). Still, someone was busy with seven games.

3 hours in the cold, you got lucky. I spent a good 22 hours in the cold.

In all seriousness, S_B was the one that braved the cold sunday morning trying to get Wiis for me and his co-worker and I can't thank him ENOUGH. : _ )

Of course you have played the Wii more than the GC. The GC has been out for 5 years, the Wii has been out for 3 months. Its very hard to top the playing hours you put on the GC for five years on the Wii :p .
But seriously, if you are saying that because you haven't played a game since launch and thus feel 'disappointed", chill. The system was just released and the games will be released. Give the system time!

Oh wait, I thought this thread was titled the more inclusive "So who WANTED a Wii for Christmas!?"

That's why I said "since I got the Wii".

Yes but I'd have felt stupid had I gone to great length to get the system early with not many games available until months later.
So who got a Wii for walking into GameStop?
Gamestop? Are you nuts? You walk into stores that don't have everyone and their mother standing in front of them. Department stores are good, Gamestop is the worst idea you can have.
