Since it seems a lot of us are jumping on the Wii wagon I figured this thread would be pertinent. This way we can try to keep an eye on what may or may not be coming to our newest addiction.
Of course I'll start of with a few:
Okami Leaping to the Wii
I've been playing Okami on the PS2 and it is awesome. Think Zelda. It's control scheme requires you to draw pictures to perform certain actions. This would fit in excellently on the Wii.

that would be super cool! I wanted to check this game out but I've been too lazy to dig up my PS2 and hesitant to buy a game for a platform I don't use any more.

Sorry Gabe, looks like you'll have to dig out the PS2.
Capcom shoots down Okami rumor.

Speaking of cheap clubs... I was riding back on Duke from Homie D-pot and noticed that "Little Bosnia" is all grown up now. Pretty swank, mang.

so swank in fact that they're raising the rents for the shops 100%. Zigs will be leaving soon. not sure where they're going to relocate, but I doubt it will be withing stumbling distance.

They have them at ebgames.com. I'll see if I can find one in the store so I don't have to pay shipping.
No moar batteries!

Updates are available for Wii's Internet channel. It adds parental control among other bells and whistles. Get it now because it costs 500 points after June.

Honestly man - it's a matter of luck assuming that you don't want to pay extra by going through eBay. Best bet is to find out what the delivery date is for your electronics store of choice and be ready to dedicate the day to your cell phone, your car, and stalking the hell out of them until you get your prize.
That's pretty much what I did with Best Buy (Thursday's by the way). They can't tell you what will be coming on the truck (most of the time they don't know) but when you give them a chance to get the truck unloaded and then start calling them you've got a pretty good chance of nailing one.
Without some sort of strategy (or a ton of luck) you're not going to be able to just walk into a store and pick one up for quite some time still.

It may not be a rumor, but here's a collection of strange Wii add-ons:
GearLog link
GearLog.com wrote:It seems as though there's something inherently strange about Nintendo's Wii. Maybe it's the idea of incorporating physical activity into the aggressively stationary world of console gaming--perhaps it's the idea of waving a plastic whit wand around, or the very real threat of losing an eye. Whatever the case may be, Nintendo's ridiculously successful gaming platform has spawned some of the most bizarre third-party concepts around, from this Saturday's happily successful Wiimbledon tournament at Barcade in Brooklyn (complete with dude in bear suit) to these two items, which are making the Web rounds, this morning:
Those are a homemade Wii-Zapper and a commercially available Wii pool cue attachment, respectively.
We figured it was time to take a look at some of the stranger Wii-accessories we've blogged about since the console tore into our lives, like tipsy cart driving Mario on a flower power bender. Check 'em, after the jump.
Solar Wii
Why was the Wii chosen as the ambassador for Tom's Hardware's environmentally-friendly DIY project? I'm not really sure, but heck, solar power is yet another reason to be in love with the the damn thing.
Wii Batarang
Need another reason to hurl your control at your new 50-inch plasma? Here you go.
Wii Helm
Okay, this one isn't exactly "real," in the sense of being, you know, not fake, but what reasonable gadget enthusiast can blame Andre for having taken the bait on this one? After all, given the other items listed here, the Wii Helm fits right in--once you get past the posting date of April 3rd...
Wii Sport Cuffs and LCD Safety Shield
A handful of crack TV screens? Ka-Ching.
Wii Weights
Looking for a way to reverse years of muscular atrophy from countless LAN parties and RPG-athons? Strap on a pair of Wii Weights, and get to work--and yes, only an officially branded pair of will do.
