I missed pre-ordering the WiiU because i didn't really look into it when Gamestop pre-orders started, so i called up my local Gamestop and they said there was no way to pre-order now (Which i knew, of course), they did, however, say on launch-day to call back because they may have extras that were not pre-ordered. In my area practically no one knows about the WiiU. Is there any chance that they will have any and has anyone heard any rumors of when the next shipment of WiiU's are coming? Also to anyone that works at Gamestop: Do you normally get extra stock in for console/game releases?

Well. I'd recommend going to the midnight launch or else your probably not getting one.. You should never assume that because you never know. I was a bit surprised when my local target sold out near me and don't forget, people will be searching around if their local Gamestop already sold out. If not, call almost every day and find out when they get their next shipment in and go that morning when they open.

Yes, you could get one. All you need is luck.

You would think they would have some left over. Just cross your fingers.

are midnight launches dependent on the gamestop or are they doing one everywhere?

Dependent on the GameStop. But, not many are having them at all. Your best shot is to call your local GameStop and ask, and hope for the best.

They should show on the Gamestop site which areas are having midnight launches (the EB Games site shows for Canada). If nothing else give them a call to see if they are having one, and if not maybe Walmart would be your best bet if it's open at midnight. Basically whichever place is opening first, as long as you are there when they open and they have extra, you should be golden.

My Gamestop is not having a midnight release, but they are opening an hour earlier than usual to deal with the crowds they predict having. This may be something that Gamestops not having a midnight release will do...

My GameStop has a midnight Release.

Mine will open at 9 am. Manager wants to get rid of Wii U and pesky Wii U owners before regular store hours.
