Are you still looking for your Nintendo Wii, only to find barren shelves and frowny faces? Are you still rabidly determined to purchase the system despite the naysayers? Well, our highly efficient Destructoid robot webscanners have you covered.
If you can spring a few extra bucks, Sam's Club.com has three bundles ripe for the picking. Two of the bundles are systems with three games, but I like the Hardware and Accessories Bundle, as it's stuff you know you're going to buy anyway (includes extra remote controller, extra Nunchuk, classic controller and Wii points card). You need to get moving as the best bundle is already listed as 'low stock'.
Pop on over to Sam's Club's Web site. You know they're not going to last long and you'll be kicking yourself in the ass if you don't. Hopefully the millions of Wii-needing Destructoid readers aren't still sleeping.
[Update: Also, there is an unconfirmed rumor (thanks to reader JoeCamNet) that Toys R Us is going to have a Wii bundle on sale this Sunday, March 18th, and it might be packed with Sonic and The Secret of The Rings, which is not a bad game at all.]

Im fucking pissed off at my Wii. The games suck and the VC sucks. I fucking said it. I beat all the VC games waiting on my 360 and there is nothing to play but gimmicky minigames for the console itself right now. I wish my 360 would hurry back..
*that is fun.
But there are so many people still looking for Wiis, so we're doing our duty for the gaming public.
YES! PS3S ALSO IN STOCK1!!@!@#!!!
...oh wait...
I bought two and have been rocking those hard.
I hate my Wii till Smash Bros. comes out.
*snark snark*
Also, word on the street is that Toys R Us is going to have a Wii bundle on sale this Sunday. A Wii plus Sonic and the Secret Rings for $299 or something.
The Wii is great, since ive had mine, the ps2 has been gathering dust, only to be brought out for the occasional PES match.
Most in depth games are boring, gone of the days where i was 10 and had loads of free time on my hands. I have a life and things to do, the Wii is great for this. I can pick it up and put it down after 30 mins to an hour. That my chubby friend is why its sold so blooming many!!
Before you start harping on about 'oh youre not a gamer bla bla' ive been playing games since my first ever speccy, yep the ones with the rubber keys, had nearly every games console. I love games, but this day and age all games are the same shit, let the Wii breath life into the gaming world again and be quiet.
God, some people are so impatient, after a year I'm sure it will have a similar number of quality games as the 360 did at the same time point.
Also, cocks.
I'd like to see more games like Metal Slug. The new mario loos incredible. I know the good ones are coming...but my personal preference prevents me from fully enjoying what i have now - I think elebits is my favorite so far.
JoeCam - who said anything about the PS3? It's universally understood that the PS3 launch sucked, but what does that hav e to do with Sams Club having systems in stock?
but thanks for the news on the TRU, I'll add it to the post.
I have tales of Symphonia... I have 5 characters and only 6 hours into it. I keep dying trying to beat the purple haired chick when she pops out the cave, and I have limited healing supplies. I am the sadness.. I want to break it.
The red streaks means my buttholes clean.
(I also own the PS3 and 360... the Wii is SERIOUSLY pissing me *and my asshole* off right now)
good point bahamut_zer0 - there is a shitton of good GC games on the shelf, or in the clearance bins. and they all look kickass on the wii.
the place no one thought of on launch day
=]
I swear I really am fucking sweating and getting the shakes... MS needs to hurry up with the quickness...next will be me continuously shitting myself everytime a good XBL game comes out and I CANT FUCKING PLAY IT. Worms? (poop!) TMNT!? (Shart!) If C:SOTN comes out next week Im going to blow my rectum out my ass.
another fucking awesome GC game? Incredible Hulk: Ultimate destruction
also get eternal darkness.
and GLADIUS! one of the best action TB strategy games ever made
I'll pick up Eternal.. never heard of Gladius, and I don't think I'll be able to afford even a GC game because of the car I bought. Ramien noodles FTL.
Eternal Darkness was the shit. Make sure you play it through to get the purple ending.
Also, applesause?
Who could eat that much, even in a month?
BOO and YA
My girlfriend works at sam's club. last week they got a shipment of Wii's and PS3's. They got 23 Wii's in and like 10 PS3's(to add to their other 20 PS3's). Some guy came in last Friday and bought ALL 23 of them. And they were the bundle with 3 games.
Just thought i'd share that with the destructoid community.
I would of gotten one but I'm waiting an bit
Ah well, guess I'll just keep hitting up Target until they put my face on the "DO NOT ADMIT" list.
No, Im not kidding.
Why can't Nintendo crank these out faster to meet demand?
xbox 360: 9.55 million sold
ps3 : 2.13 million sold
Wii : 5.73 million sold.
5.73 million units sold in only 4 months is staggering! So there's your answer, gameboi.
