By the way, guys. I've seen lots of 3DS retail games recieve TBD prices on the eShop. Angry Birds Trilogy, Professor Layton, etc. Does this mean many third-party games are coming to the eShop?

Possibly, but not necessarily.  Even games that aren't available on the eShop have information about themselves available on there.



Could I trouble you for some maple syrup to go with the plate of roffles you just served up?

Went to a Walmart near me because I heard most places were out of pre orders and that Walmart might get more systems than other places. That is probably the last time I ever go to Walmart for anything video game related. I asked the lady if there was any pre orders left for the Wii U. She just stared at me not knowing what the fuck I just said. I was like the new Nintendo system that is coming out on Nov. 18th are you guys taking pre orders? She then replied no. I was like are you sure? Can you ask a manager? She goes to back and then comes back and says no again. I was like alright.... I then went to Gamestop and they were out of pre orders but told me I could sign up for the waiting list which they will hold a console for 2 days once they get another shipment. I am the first person on the waiting list so I should be able to get the system by late Nov.  That Gamestop said they were getting about 30 something Wii U for their initial shipment for pre orders.


The stores themselves don't do console preorders as far as I know. The web site did though, with no pick up at store opition. WalMart stores still do the first come first serve camping thing.

I am so glad I got my pre-order in less than an hour after Game Stop started taking them. Nov 18th will be much fun, going to have to take the next few days off after that lol

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

That Bandai Famitsu Scoop is not Smash 4, no way.
It would be a Nintendo Scoop, even if Bandai is helping with the game.

Another One Piece Musou game, imo. Who knows, maybe for Wii U too.

Ah yea I can see why they would do this.  They are already stretched thin in the electronics department with usually 1-2 employees working the entire section.  They have to open up the cases for anyone that wants a game, system, etc, check out customers, check on stock in back, etc..  It usually isn't too terrible to go there but there are a lot better options.

I went to gamestop as well, but could not post on my phone last night while at work. Was first on the list to eventually get called to get a pre-order for the Wii U basic. Also they told me they have about 4400 stores in the States and on average each got about 10 pre-order spots the first time around! This one in particular got 11.

So at least we know that about 44,000 Wii U's will be sold day one. I bet Walmart got the same amount. We could probably make a guestimate of how many will sell day one with the first batch of pre-orders. Anyone want to try?

Yay! Guestimates!!!

I think that Walmart actually gets more systems than that, of what I've heard at least... Day One pre-orders should easily have hit 100k in the US alone, right?

Gamestop got 44,000 at least. Walmart getting more pre-orders than a gaming store? Lets just say that they do, I work for them so not sure what I can say, but I will find out next time I work. But lets just say that each of there stores get 10 as well, plus EB Games, Play and Trade, Bestbuy, Target. Lets find out how many stores in total and do guestimates! I got walmart and Gamestop. Someone else get some. And we will go from there. At least we will have guestimates for those stores. Not sure who else got pre-orders. Can you pre-order on Amazon?

I have no idea whatsoever :P I'm in Sweden battling polar bears on my way to work, so I don't have a clue about the amreican market :P I just said something I'd read here on VGC ^^
