Hah... I called around all afternoon, probably about 2-3 hours worth of calling. Called store after store, and was about to give up, and I called a Zellers which had a shipment come in that day.. I got there just in time to pick mine up. Got pretty lucky.

I rented Red Steel and Super monkey ball on the weekend, and I would say red steel is a decent game despite the bad reviews. Yes, it's super cheesy dialouge and there are the odd few bugs, but nothing that bad. It's not a bad game at all, once the controls are learnt it's pretty fun. Super monkey ball hasn't done much for me yet, but I haven't played much. I'd recommend Red Steel, but only if you go into the game not expecting too, too much. Remember, a lot of these games (for Nintendo) are going to be gameplay over graphics and realism. (IMO) .. Nintendo isn't too focused on great graphics, etc.. but rather the fact that your having a ton of fun as you play.

My buddy said that Rayman Rabbits was is a ton of fun, its just a bunch of mini games, but he said it was really good....

Rayman lacked the polish I expect out of games.

Funny thing about the Wii is that you don't need the sensor bar in the system.

You can make your own using two candles to create an IR field. Huzzah!

I saw that on AOTS using the candles instead of the sensor bar.

All it does is send out IR beams so that the wiimote can sense the motion. Having 2 candles like that will work just as well because the candles will act as a substitute for the IR beams from the sensor bar. The wiimote only communicates with the wii wirelessly, not with the sensor bar. The wiimote will work like that just so long as you have 2 sources of IR that it can sense as guidelines
