I was finally able to find a wii.  I was too lazy to scour every store at every hour to find one, I just looked when I happened to be there.  I go grocery shopping at walmart about once a week, so I finally got one.  They only had two so I'm not sure yet if I was lucky or if they finally met supply in my area.  I do know they are still not available, non-bundled, online anywhere.
I just have wii sports now, its fun and I think rather arcadeish.  Maybe thats just how I feel because I get the most use out of my trackball on my arcade machine.  It will definitely be more fun with people, I think.
One quick question on the Virtual Console.  Are there any multiplayer games for it?  On a cursory glance, Tecmo bowl and Excitebike are set as one player games on the VC, and a few others are one player passing a controller around to take turns.  Something like street fighter 2 would be terrible as a one player game.  Or even tecmo bowl for that matter.
