Wii U Hardware
Already possible to pre-order here in Sweden and has been for a good while. I will definetely pre-order to ensure to have one at launch, but I am waiting for a date and pricetag. So maybe tomorrow will be the day. Problably will be.
#106467 Do you think the game pad should have been an optional extra?

No, the Wii U pad is what Wii U is all about. I think its the perfect combination of traditional gaming and the whole "Be more involved" thing that have come with DS, Wii, Kinect and so on. One doesnt have to jump around or swing up and down to play. Just look down and use a touchpad once in a while.
What I really want Nintendo to do is to make a new version of the Wiimote with built in batteries (such as the Wii U Pad). I would really like to use Wii U for Wii games as well but i just wont use a controller that uses AA-batteries.

#106460 Does anybody know a ps3 or 360 owner thats going to convert to wii u?

Wii U Hardware
I am one.So simply do u know a ps3 or xbox owner willing to embrace nintendo? Have they done enough to reach out and convert the consumers they are trying to win over? And what more can they do?
But for me I think its mostly that i want something new. I picked up both Xbox 360 and Playstation 3 at their respective launch so I have been using these systems for a good while now. So I am looking forward to new hardware and the new software that comes with it.
(I have owned Wii as well, but not for long. I picked it up for Mario Galaxy and Twilight Princess and thats basicly what i played on it)
I think Nintendo is doing a good choice in trying to get as many PS360/multiplatform-games on Wii U as possible. For me thats a selling point since it will ease up the transition proccess a great deal. If Nintendo gets most of the upcoming multi-games on their platform i could basicly sell of my other platforms as soon as the few exclusives in the pipeline for those platforms are out and then use Wii U as my main platform.
But i think they have to do more in terms of announcing more exclusive games both first- and third party developed. As i understand it only Super Smash Bros has been announced for the future which is quite little.
Before Gamecube was launched we knew that games like Starfox Adventures, Metroid Prime, Super Mario Sunshine and Resident Evil (and so on) was in the pipeline. But for Wii U the games of the future are very unclear.

I recently sold off most off my video-game collection so it would be more living-room friendly. So now I only have Playstation 3.
And soon a Wii U. The coming years will have to tell if the PS3 will stay or go (If the PS4 will be backwards-compatible or not).

I guess that I would buy it and love it, and all. But no, not really. Not in terms of what I really, REALLY, want. Something new, as Galaxy originally was, is what i look forward to in the next Mario installation.
#105539 Why would a graphical leap be a bad move for MS and Sony?

That wouldnt (and wont) be bad for them. Thats what will sell the platforms. Both Sony and Microsoft already have platforms out on the market that are somewhat near the Wii U in terms of hardware so not update that side on their future platforms wouldnt make sense.
Both of them have already put some effort in on lenghten their consoles lifetime-span with new controllers (Move, Kinect, PsVita compatibility and the Surface-tablet) so what they should and problably will offer with Xbox 3 and Playstation 4 is quite powerful hardware.
Which will be good for both us (Nintendo-games we can get on the Wii U. Other kind of more hardware-demanding games can, if we want them, be enjoyed on the other platforms) and for them (in sales). Its good that the consoles are different from one another.
I wouldnt want to go back to the times when one had three basicly similiar platforms beneath the TV with the only difference of some exclusive games.

Wii U Games and Software
In my mind Wii U is (will become) the perfect combination of Gamecube and Wii so I hope to see a lot of the really great multiplayer/party-games such as Wii Sports and Super Smash Bros on the platform combined with great singleplayer-adventure games (like Zelda and Metroid Prime) as well as some Nintendo-franchises that we havent seen in a while, such the already confirmed Pikmin 3, but also F-Zero and Starfox.
Im not sure what to expect in terms of second and third-party games but it seems that a lot of PS360-games will be ported/updated, at least in the beginning of its lifespan. But hopefully we will see some great games from such studios and publishers as well.
Maybe Nintendo will close some interesting third-party deals such as they did during the Gamecube-era (with Capcom, Namco, Square Enix and Konami and so on).

Hello you (yes, you!)
Im a soon to be 24 year old swede that just a few minutes ago Googled my way to this forum since, well, there just wasnt enough Wii U-hyping on my regular (multiplatform) forums. To be honest, i have been playing mostly Playstation 3 during the current gen (even though i did buy a Wii at launch but it didnt really stick) but with Wii U i am looking back at Nintendo as the one bringing my main platform. I am super-psyched about the launch and as it seems i will be bringing the console back home together with Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3, ZombiU and New Super Mario Bros U.
Hope to be visiting this forum a lot more in the days to come (new press-conference on Thursday!) as well as both before and after the actual launch!
