I only do this because I love ya. 😮 (consider it motivation to go get one so we can play multiplayer games… when they come out… not that you haven’t been trying! It’s almost impossible to get one in Japan too if it makes you feel any better…)
Oh god… it’s a wall of Wii goodness. Why do I have 2 Wii’s, 3 controllers and a whole bunch of other stuff (note the two games not available in the US. Wario Dance or whatever its called and Wii Play [comes with the controller])…? It’s a long story.

Not really. It begins like this:
After Noa broke Kiko’s nose, I didn’t go to my soccer tournament in Awaji (with my good friend Jim! Sorry Jim!). My other good friend Brian offered to come with me to get a Wii. I did a lot of research and I figured our best bet was this store above. See how close I am to the front? (I’m poking my head out the top!) #8 in line! Woohoo!
It wasn’t so woohoo after I realized I had misread the kanji and it actually said lottery instead of priority. … so about 5 minutes before the lottery started (and 4 hours after I got there) a whole rush of people came, got a ticket and apparently won their wii’s, because I certainly didn’t. boooooooooo-urns. (to paraphrase mikey)
Was that the end of it? No. I decided to go Yahoo Auctioning … (its like E-bay but for Japan.) Ended up winning like a billion auctions (I went a little bit spastic.) Re-sold some of them, and Brian (who didn’t get a Wii in the lottery either) bought the other one. So in fact, I only have 1 Wii, but after all the auction excitement (=profits), it ended up costing about $50 less then retail. WoohoO!
Here is a Samba de Amigo (best game ever!) Dreamcast Maraccas controller for good measure.
