a few days ago (after Christmas but before New Years), i got a Nintendo Wii.
back in November, i stayed out all night trying to get one, and all i got was Zelda.
in December, i found a Wii-mote at the store. i then found an online retailer that i could purchase a Nunchuck addon and the "Classic" controller. this was at a time when most of that was pretty hard to get.
then in late December, using the site www.itrackr.com, i was able to locate a local Target that had the Wii in stock.
so i have a Wii, two controllers, and Zelda. the new Zelda is great, and the Virtual Console is a blast as well. i've downloaded Sonic the Hedgehog, Bonk's Adventure, Bomberman '93, Gunstar Heroes, and Castlevania IV.
