One of my goals here in NYC today was to pick up a Wii. I didn’t expect my odds to be very good and they weren’t: Nintendo Store, Best Buy, and Toys R Us are all out of stock. Though, I did see one guy purchase a Wii at the Toys R Us and another wandering with a unit in hand — perhaps these were pre-orders?
At the Nintendo Store I had some hands on time with Excite Truck which turns out to be a horrible game and makes me question my desire for a Wii. The graphics are poor and the game is just boring, though I assume two player mode is more fun.
Those of you who live in town better wake up early tomorrow… Both the Nintendo Store and Toys R Us received Wii shipments and will be selling them at 10AM.
Bonus NYC day tripping pictures after the jump…

no apple store?
Seen one Apple store, seen them all. ;) Seriously, I hit it the last time I was here and there's nothing new for me to check out. Maybe after Macworld in January...
I've already heard about three cases of Wii controllers flying about and breaking widescreen TVs and a smart phone (?). How's that work?
Why aren't you getting up oily to get one?
