It's all about luck. You have to call all of your local stores to see if they still have any in stock. If not, you can buy them off of Amazon, but since it's past the release date the cheapest one you're going to find is $108.
Strange, I got this email today:
We're sorry for the delay in shipping the order you placed on October 08, 2011. We have good news -- the order is now being shipped! You will receive a shipping confirmation with an updated delivery estimate within the next business day, for the following item(s):
"The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword Gold Remote Bundle" http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002I0GEHI
At this point it kinda became something to collect. I have my Wii in another room from the Wii U, so I just pair them to their respective systems and I can at least tell myself "They all have a purpose". Personally I prefer to have controllers of different colors since it's a lot easier to distinguish between "the 3rd player light" and "the green controller".
I started with 4 white regular Wiimotes from the Wii. Through out the life I got 2 motion+ adapters (With Tiger Woods and Wii Sports Resort).
For everything EXCEPT golf I prefer the smaller controller with motion+ built in. For Golf (Tiger or Wii Sports) I find the longer length preferable, so I kept 1 original remote with motion plus and started getting new colored controllers to replace the originals. I have friends and family with Wii's so 3 of my 4 originals were gifted to new homes as I got new ones.
If you buy Nintendo Refurbs it's pretty cheap. You can get 3 separate colors (White, Black, Blue) with matching nunchucks for $65 shipped.
I also got the Zelda collectors edition so that right there is 5. (White+ Black+ Blue+ Gold+ White w/adapter)
The wife wanted Pink Motion+, so now that's 6.
and my son Likes the Mario + Luigi ones, so I got him the Luigi one from the Newegg NintendoLand deal last month ($30 shipped for both) and since I owned NintendoLand I sold it (Factory sealed) on Amazon for $20. So that's my 7 which doesn't include the Black Wiimote+ I got in Wii Party U I gifted out.
Honestly I'd love to get a Red one with a matching nunchuck myself but for the price of importing them from Japan I could buy a Wii mini and give away the system. I'm hoping they show up on the Refurb store at some point.
Now the Wife LOVES the Peach one so I'll definitely be getting that at minimum and that'll be 8 (unless she wants to gift out the original pink), but can already see a potential 9 or 10 if I get a deal on the Mario / Regular red controllers.
and now they announced a Yoshi one... Arrrrrrrrrrgh. Gonna have to think about that.
Ew fuck gamestop, go on amazon.com lol http://www.amazon.com/Legend-Zelda-Skyward-Remote-Nintendo-Wii/dp/B002I0GEHI/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1315759757&sr=8-1
FYI, Amazon has it available for pre-order now.
Thing is it's not bad, it's just stupid. This is how you do a preorder bonus. something entirely separate from the game, but a nice thing to have none the less.
