Went to my WalMart recently to see if there was anything of interest I felt like buying, and lo-and-behold, nothing, well, aside from Super Paper Mario.(which I unfortunately couldn't spare cash for, wish Nintendo had their 1st/2nd-party prices chopped by $10)

 

Anyhows, my WalMart's got a nice collection of Wii games atm, with their copy of Tiger Woods sold out, which somewhat surprised me, and they killed the price on a couple launch titles (FarCry & Splinter Cell) to sell them and get them out of the way for newer stuff, which is fairly nice (shame that FarCry got crap ratings), cheapest Wii games for sale I've seen so far.

 

Still have yet to see an actual Wii for sale since I got mine way back in Nov19, but at least they've now got Wii remotes in stock, and in large numbers now, including Wii Point cards, albeit no Nunchuks still in stock. (which I wouldn't mind getting for my 3rd remote >.>)

 

Last thing that came as a surprise for me was see'ing the official Wii component cables in stock, thought those were going to be an online-order only thing, unless Nintendo changed their mind recently or something?

(either that or to combat the 3rd-party alternatives available at some places)

 

Regardless, seems to be doing pretty damn nicely still months after it's release, unlike the still full XBX360/PS3 compartments (both game & systems) in the same electronics portion of the store.

All the stores in my area have no Wiis but I went to Target today and there are alot of games.  There are like 5 wiimotes, 3 Nunchucks, a bunch of useless items and 5-10 wii point cards.  Also, 2 gamecubes.  Huh.

My Walamart(only store that sells games in town.  Gotta go to loisville if I want other choices) gets Wiis in once a week pretty much, and their always gone within an hour.  We have a nice collection of Wii games.  Theres Wii Play, LoZ TP, Super Paper Mari(we actualy got that one a day early), Prince of Persia, Cars, Happy feet, Medal of Honor, Wario Ware, Call of Duty 3, Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 2, Tiger Woods, some fishing game, some golf game from tecmo, Madden 2007, Sonic and the Secret Rings.... You know, the works.

 The only Wii games Im interested in getting right now are Just Dragon Ball Z and Sonic.

We right now have no Nunchucks or Wii points cards.  And we are low on Wiimotes.

And thats how things are in LaGrange Kentucky.

Well, my Walmart is doing pretty well, they have everything except the actual Wii! Kmart isn't doing to good, they barely have anything. I called Kmart and they said they had 4 Wiis and were holding them for tomorrow (Sunday). I went there a few hours ago and they already had a line!
