My Mom called me and told me she had some points on her AmEx, anyway she remembered I wanted a Wii, WAY back, but there was always a shortage of the units. This thing is great! It has been years since I had a console game system, great edition of Mortal Kombat for it! For those who have a Wii, I used to really like the old RPG games like the Final Fantasy stuff (and Chrono-Trigger) is there any 21st century

stuff like this for the Wii system yet????

The SALES on Wii have been amazing, Amazon got a bunch in when they first came out, sold in like an HOUR, they got a batch in for the Holiday season recently, SOLD OUT. Same thing at Best Buy. People accused Nintendo of "staggering" the shipments to build hype, they swear they are trying to keep up with the demand. I read it is not just North America, they have now become the biggest selling console in Australia topping X-Box. Everyone wants one! Wii is like the Beatles of game consoles! It is a VERY cool system.

Odd thing is they are not expensive consoles, the other companies took the approach, our system can do this and this and this, Nintendo was SMART, they had two failures after Super Nintendo, they did not wish to repeat them, they all sat down and came up with a console system that is.......fun.
