is Wii Party available with out the Wii Remote?

I'd like to know this as well...

I already have four WiiMotes.

Well, if you're in the US, that's no problem, in the US it's not bundled with a wiimote...

Wrong, Wrong, Wrong!!!  I live in the US and I bought it bundled for $70.  You can buy it unbundled for $50.  Get your facts right before you give someone false info.

Well, that's news to me, but still, with the same result - I believe that when told about being sold with the Wiimote, people think Wii Play (game and WIimote for $50). Since that isn't the case, there is no "problem" for people with 4 wiimotes.

Yea, that is what I thought too.  I went in expecting bundled version to be around 50-60 dollars.  When I saw the $70 price tag, I was a little shocked.  I only had 3 remotes so I went ahead and just bought the bundled version.  While it offers a lot more than Wii Play it still shocked me being bundled more than $60. 

Both Amazon and Gamestop don't have a bundled version. Between that and all the news reports mentioning only a European version, I was confident that the US didn't have one. Following what you said I did a bit of searching, and found this: "It took a while to track down, but I found a Wal-Mart that was selling the Wii Party bundle that comes with a Wii Remote for $69.99.  This bundle is only available at select Wal-Mart locations." - source
