Doubt many places will be open on Sunday, strange day to release.


Actually a lot of retailers are open on Sundays at least in the US and here in the UK. They usually stay open shorter hours though opening late and closing earlier then normal.

19 days to go here in the UK. On the bright side at least we will get to read the experiences of the North Americans and know what to expect. They can test things out and deal with any issues and we will be better prepared as a result. :D

I'm happy to be the uk's test dummy in a week. Although I wouldn't worry about any glitches it's possible but don't forget this is Nintendo we are talking about.

So a quick question, for those of us who haven't preordered, where would be the best shot at getting a copy on release day?

Try GameStop, if not, try Best Buy. I'm sure every store will get at least ONE console that wasn't pre ordered. But, I'd recommend going to a midnight launch if you are able to. If not, make sure to line up early in the morning to get ahead of anyone else ( who may or may not try to scalp the consoles for financial gain).

Haha, if you didn't preorder, the only way you can get a console is going to a store that doesn't accept pre-orders. GameStop? No way. They've been sold out since September, you'll be on the waitlist if you ask to pre-order, and there are already 250,000+ people on the waitlist alone. Bestbuy has been sold out also. They won't make exceptions, or randomly give you a console. If you went to Nintendo World, you could get one, since they give on a first come first served basis. But that line will also fill, so you'd have to go a few days in advanced, and wait on a line for days. In other words, you won't get a Wii U on launch day. Sorry, I'm not either :/

3 days
Today doesn't count because it's almost over.
I have it pre ordered at 2 places (one was a back up).
But I might go to a store that didn't go pre orders so I can use my $20 off any purchase $200 or more coupon on it.

I'm not so convinced as you are. ;)
Wal-marts, Toys R Us, Targets, K-Marts... Some of those places must have some Wii U's for purchase on release day... ?

Yes, I've actually just heard this also. I was unaware they would sell Wii U systems without pre-order. It seems like you and I may both be able to get a Wii U on launch day :]
