Don't go thinking they care about the fuzziness of your American screens, this is a Japan thing. Nintendo of Japan's official site apologized for the lack of "D terminal" component cables (Japan has two types of component cable), leaving this blogger with just such a fuzzy screen. It's hard to complain too much though, what with the Japanese Wii launch being such a painless endeavor.
Local retailers are reporting that Nintendo overstocked, providing many more systems than anticipated. Accessories (that aren't component cables that is) are all readily available: Nunchuks, Wiimotes, and the lovely (not quite stateside yet) Hajimete no Wii (Wii Games) and Wiimote bundle are in abundance. Even the Classic Controller -- which comes free with purchases of 5,000 Wii points -- is readily available.
