Confusion, shortages hobble US Wii Fit kickoff

Gamespot writes: "At the 2008 Game Developers Conference in February, Nintendo announced that Wii Fit would launch on May 19. The Japanese game giant's proclamation led many gamers, technophiles, and health enthusiasts to mark their calendars under the assumption they could get their hands on the $90 balance-board based, exercise-centric title on the third Monday of the month.

However, confusion began to erupt when Nintendo's nationwide advertising campaign for Wii Fit began touting the game as going on sale on Wednesday, May 21. When queried by GameSpot last week, a representative for Nintendo of America insisted the game would go on sale on May 19. "It may take a few days for shipments to reach every part of the country and the ads you saw may have considered that," said the rep."

1 - So true
My fiancee wants Wii Fit - and she has no idea it's out or is coming out. Wait, is it even out? Not trying to joke, but I've been confused with the staggered Japanese, European, then US release.

this suck big time, my fit was paid for 2 weeks ahead of time and Im on the 2nd shipment, gamespot says nintendo made them release it on the 21st and the 2nd shipment maybe there on either the 21st or the day after, anyways shame on nintendo for announcing the 19th and everyone else is releasing it on the 21st because they were told to.

god help if they release it before hand, cause nintendo might charge the retailer 1/2 a million or more. what a mess.

by the way i'm in MIAMI not some mountain in oklahoma...stop with the excuses.
