I would get there when there is still some left but not to crowded so I'd say about 1:00 pm because most kids are still in school and when they get home they will run to their parents asking "Can we go to Wal-Mart?"

You should call a few days before and talk to manger in the electronics department and the store manager. This way you can get the information confirmed to be sure that you can get yours. A Wal-mart store link is below.
The release date in the US in November 19, 2006. The console is $249.99. The remote is 39.99. The nunchuk is $19.99. The classic controller is $19.99.
Hardware
The front side of Wii
Design
Wii is Nintendo's smallest home game console yet; measuring 44 mm wide, 157 mm tall, and 215.4 mm deep in the vertical orientation without the included stand (which itself measures 55.4 mm wide, 44 mm tall, and 225.6 mm deep).[4] It is approximately the size of three standard DVD cases stacked together (approx. 4.5 cm x 15 cm x 20 cm). The console can be stood either horizontally or vertically. The front of the console features a slot-loading media drive illuminated by a blue light and accepts both 12cm optical discs for Wii software and 8cm discs from Nintendo's prior console, the Nintendo GameCube.[1] The ability to load differently sized discs is uncommon in slot-loading media drives, which typically only accept discs of a single size. Two USB ports (at the rear) and one SD card slot (behind a flap cover at the front of the console) are provided.
Nintendo has shown Wii and the Wii Remote in various colors, including silver, lime green, white, black, and red.[23][24] The console will initially be available only in white.[5]
The systems shown at E3 2006 and in various trailers have several small changes from the original design. Not only has the Nintendo branding on the case been replaced with a 'Wii' logo, but the disc-loading slot has been enlarged slightly, the reset button has been moved from next to the eject button to beside the power button, and the power indicator light has been moved from next to the power button to inside that button.
Controller
The Wii RemoteMain article: Wii Remote
The primary controller for Wii uses a one-handed, Bluetooth,[1] remote control-based design with force-feedback capabilities. It features an integrated accelerometer, which allows it to sense linear motion along three axes, as well as tilt. The controller also contains a tracking image sensor, which, in tandem with a sensor bar, gives the controller light gun-like pointer capabilities within 5 meters (approx. 16.5 ft) of the screen.[1] [25] Up to four controllers can be connected at once and operated as far as ten meters from the console.[1] It can be utilized like an NES gamepad when rotated. An internal audio speaker can be used to play sound effects and provides an enhanced depth of sound field. The Wii Remote features 4KB of non-volatile memory. It can run up to 60 hours using only the accelerometer function with two alkaline AA batteries and up to 30 hours when using the precision aim.[25] The buttons on the controller are digital and include a D-pad, A, B, 1, 2, -, +, Home and Power buttons as well as a SYNC button located underneath the battery cover.[25]
The Zapper shell at an event at the Hotel Puerta America (Under Development)The Wii Remote can be augmented by various add-ons. Announced expansions include: the included Nunchuk controller (which also has accelerometer capabilities, but no pointer ability) featuring an analog stick and two additional digital buttons (C and Z), a Classic Controller for playing Virtual Console games and a "Zapper Style" shell for first-person shooter gameplay which also includes a control stick on the top. The first third-party add-on is a steering wheel peripheral that will be packaged with Ubisoft's GT Pro Series and Monster 4x4 World Circuit .[1]
Shigeru Miyamoto has expressed an interest in releasing re-makes of existing GameCube titles, stating that some titles would benefit from the functionality of the Wii Remote.[26] In an interview, Miyamoto revealed that Nintendo hopes to allow Wii controllers to be personalized for each gamer. Applications would include different game settings determined by the preferences of the controller that turned on the console. Wii's controller will even allow your dynamic "Mii" Avatar to be saved to the remote, so that custom settings and even the character itself can be used on other Wii consoles [27]
Sensor bar
The sensor barThe sensor bar can be placed anywhere near the display screen and parallel to the screen's horizontal edge.[citation needed] It is not necessary to point directly at the sensor bar, but pointing away from the screen itself will disrupt position-sensing ability.[citation needed] The use of the sensor bar allows the Wii Remote to be used as an accurate pointing device up to 5 meters (approx. 15ft) away from the bar.[1] The sensor bar is about 20cm in length[25] and features eight IR LEDs, with four LEDs being arranged at each end of the bar.[28] The Wii Remote contains a one-megapixel[25] image sensor[29] which is used to locate the sensor bar's eight points of light in the Wii Remote's field of view.[citation needed] The known real-world dimensions of the spacing between the LEDs on the bar allows the Wii Remote to calculate its position and orientation in space relative to the bar.[citation needed] This information is in addition to, and supplemented by, the 3-axis acceleration and tilt sensors in the Wii Remote.[
