Picked up my Wii U deluxe at Walmart tonight. Only one other guy there. Real easy other than the usual Walmart employee mishaps. I also noticed they had 8g models sitting in a cart. The guy after me was preordering another as he was buying one. So go check out Walmarts if you are still looking. May have a slight chance.

@AndrewB: I completely agree. I knew what to expect before I went :). I guess that they have done the same program when the Wii launched and other pre-orders in the past. It's one of those loopholes but it does work.

@AndrewB: It is a hassle mainly due to the employees lack of knowledge to what's going on even in their own store of employment. But the only info they wanted was address and phone number. Once they finally found the paper with the barcode it took only a few minutes.

Found out that walmart is taking pre-orders via their layaway program. Just wanted to share with the community if any good people still want one for Christmas or whatever. I read a couple of articles then searched the walmart website and finally found some info there about pre-ordering the Wii U deluxe model. It isn't fun to go to walmart for things like this but if you really still want a Wii U deluxe model guaranteed it's worth the trial.

Totally works. I went in this afternoon and found a flyer even at the layaway counter. After asking about the Wii U preorder and even tapping on the poster that was in plain view that advertised the program it took them awhile to find the papers they needed (barcode to scan), but after 20 minutes and a few large bald men unclipping and reclipping the rope that separated me from their work space it all finally worked out. I asked then if I was guaranteed or if it was first come first serve when the order was received and he told me that as the Wii U's are scanned into the system they will go to the layaway operation right away and I will have no problem picking it up at midnight or the next day. It will be there.

I was very happy and also found out not many people know about it as I was the 2nd person to even ask at my store. So if you want a deluxe model go to any walmarts in your vicinity and ask at the layaway counter, usually in the back of the store.

Go here and look at description to see the details. It's real. http://www.walmart.com/ip/Nintendo-Wii-U-32GB-Deluxe-Console-w-GamePad-Nintendo-Land-Black/21944098

Happy hunting:)

I'd like to know this as well. I'm not for sure, but I don't think there is an online mode for this.

Best site ever

I'll try

I play on Ps3 and find a lot of rage quitters.  I don't know how many times I make it to a final battle in championship mode and my status resets on account of the other player disconnecting.  I wish they would fix that.
