Besides Wii Music, I'm not sure the families who've invested in a Wii console will be interested in the likes of Animal Crossing.

All I'm being asked for is Wii Fit.

Won't surprise me on shortages for the hardware as well (as per every year since launch)... I bet they still run the roadshow then.
