littlebro07 02/15/21 8:36:31 AM #3:	Looked for months. The breaking point was when my mom who had a second job at Shopko was called by a coworker saying they literally just got a truck with some Wiis on it. We were at the store about 15 minutes later and watched the last one get sold. Went home and got on eBay and spent $370 on one. Still have it and havent used it in nearly a decade lol --- https://i.imgtc.com/MGGa6Os.gif <cite>littlebro07 posted [p:950658437] in Remember t... [t:79296222]...</cite> <quote>Looked for months.

Dorfmann_ 02/15/21 8:40:31 AM #6:	I stood in line outside of Best Buy in frigid weather for like 10 hours to get one of those things. I think my actual play time on the console was probably less than that. I sold it to a coworker not long after. <cite>Dorfmann_ posted [p:950658504] in Remember t...

Solar_Crimson 02/15/21 1:15:15 PM #9:	Yep. Looked for months, including just barely missing one at Best Buy, I think. Called GameStop one day and they had one in stock. Had my dad drive me out there and was lucky enough to snag it then. --- I often wonder if we are growing as a people... or in fact, regressing. <cite>Solar_Crimson posted [p:950665560] in Remember t...

Zikten 02/15/21 1:28:33 PM #12:	It's why wii is the only Nintendo main console I never owned. By the the time they were easy to get I had lost interest. My parents and younger sister got one though. And I sometimes played it at their house <cite>Zikten posted [p:950665962] in Remember t... [t:79296222]...</cite> <quote>It's why wii is the only Nintendo main console I never owned.
