I'm gonna be sleeping in my car @ Bestbuy so I'm first in the morning, gotta make sure to beat all those jerks who only want it just to sell it on e-bay and profit for christmas...
Honestly I can't see them having one as most stores were already told them probably wouldn't get any extra systems, though I'd personally like to be able to get my hands on one as soon as I can!! Why can't today be the 18th already?
I asked a couple but they all said "no" so i asked them "how about a midnight launch for all the games that are coming out that you did a midnight launch on for the other systems." "uhhhh no." What a load of horse shit.
Damn the Nintendo fanboys (not you omarzy) sure read a lot into what I said lol, I only meant that Nintendo should prepare for a high demand this time, the Wii sold out insanely fast.
Yeah, it was crazy. I remember going into a Best Buy to get some games a few years after the Wii launched and they STILL had a short line for some wii consoles.
Also, a shortage is expected for most places. Nintendo has stated that shortages will happen.
Yeah, the demand seems pretty real for the Wii U as well so i can;t imagine what they are thinking. Probably something simple like creating even more demand.
I'm sure they are aware of the event it's just that the release is too late into the month. Now if only GameStop could take food stamps they would be the first in line...
My store is doing a midnight launch but the majority won't because launch day is a Sunday.
Nintendo specifically targets Sunday because they feel its a family day. They also like the easy, slower pace of Sunday. It's a great day to buy games and play them together with family and friends.
Lol are u ever right? Seriously u just pulled that be out of thin air. Nintendo chose Sunday because in Japan they r not allowed to launch during a week because too many ppl call into work and its easier to do that in the states as well so it wont cause an issue.... just once a post from u without u making stuff up would b nice...ill b laughing all week over your be reasoning
Hate to burst both your bubbles, but Nintendo releases on sunday so they don't have to go up against the Tuesday releases of their competitors, and Sunday may be family day, but it's also the day most people have off and are relaxing so more likely to go out and shop.
As to Japan, Sunday isn't an official day for release, look at gamefaqs and you will see most release on Tuesday or Thursday. Certain games however are required to be released on Sunday because a large number of people call out...namely it caused high instances of truancy. This is why Final Fantasy, Monster Hunter, or any other big release is usually on a Sunday.
On another note, I actually wondered if Nintendo would be releasing games on Tuesday now since they will have more multi-plats. It's hard to imagine a publisher would want to release 2 days earlier on one system (or 5 days later), just because Nintendo has a Sunday release day. Makes me curious if release days will be spread out over the week, which would be kind of annoying to keep track of if you buy a lot of games.
I don't care to pick mine up at midnight. If I did, I'd be up until 5 in the morning, then I'd be fuc*ed the entire next day. Get some sleep. Get it first thing in the morning, then play all day long on Sunday. Better yet, play on the gamepad AND watch the football game!

Nintendo has held all of their major hardware and game launches on a Sunday since 2006.
But you were saying some stuff, I'm sure someone who doesn't know what hey are talking about will agree with you.
