I reserved a Wii back in March or April, so I'm number two on the list. Getting one will not be a problem. Also today at work (school), I've had kids asking me if I'm lining up to try to get one. Only one kid asked me about the PS3 at launch; it's obvious more kids want the Wii than the PS3, and that alone is going to make tomorrow absolute chaos I think...glad I'm not lining up.
So after flip-flopping over buying a Wii for a while, and then deciding not to get one since I used the money to buy a new HDTV instead, I went to the game store a few days ago, armed with 25 games. I figured at the least I'd get around 2man, but I ended up getting 4man!!!
So I am definitely getting one tomorrow.
I then went and reserved even more stuff...probably got at least 65,000 yen worth of stuff reserved right now...doubt I'm going to get it all, but I want to spend extra on a second controller and nunchuk, as I get the feeling those are going to be hard to find for a while. I am currently down for:
-Wii System
-Odoru Made In Wario (hope this is good)
-Zelda TP (guess I'll be practing my Japanese with this one...hope it plays well too)
-Red Steel (hope it's DECENT)
-Swing Golf Pangya (for some reason, this is my most-anticipated game)
-Wii Sports (wasn't going to get this, but it sounds good for my gf and friends)
-Hajimete No Wii w/ Wiimote (why not get some more mini game crap with the controller?)
-Wii Nunchuk
There's also a Moneyball-like game from Taito (IIRC) that looked pretty nice, but I'll wait for reviews first. Skipping Necronesia; I get the feeling it's going to be crap. I dunno if I'll buy any Wii points for the store.
And then I'm going to pick up a used GC controller and PN03, possibly Beach Spikers, Naruto 4, and MGS Twin Snakes (if I can find it) too, although the GC stuff takes a back seat to the Wii stuff. Heavily considering grabbing some more stuff and selling it to lower the price even more...as it stands right now, I'm basically paying for the system and getting most everything else with the money I got from selling the games off...not bad.
Does the Wii need Game Cube memory cards to save GC games?

That sucks for me. My TV has D-Terminal.
Mine too. I take it that the Wii doesn't use older Nintendo TV cables? Ah well, shit picture for a week. GOOD JOB NINTENDO
