GREEN MARIO! I can't wait to see their final smashes and move sets, especially Reggies.

Also just bought tickets to see Wreck-It-Ralph :] Great movie, definitely reccomended to people familiar with old 1980+ arcade games.

Add me - Luca-U :] ("Luca-U")

Will post mine in a few minutes. The update is taking a while

I'm not so convinced as you are.
Wal-marts, Toys R Us, Targets, K-Marts... Some of those places must have some Wii U's for purchase on release day... ?

Yes, I've actually just heard this also. I was unaware they would sell Wii U systems without pre-order. It seems like you and I may both be able to get a Wii U on launch day :]

20 days for North America. We're almost in the final stretch guys...........

YAAY can't wait!! Soon it'll be 15, then 10, then 5, THEN WE GET WII U FINALLY (Not me though, waiting list), but I'll be able to play demos at GameStop

http://www.gamestop.com/wii-u - NA Release count down :]

25 days woo! :]

Try GameStop, if not, try Best Buy. I'm sure every store will get at least ONE console that wasn't pre ordered. But, I'd recommend going to a midnight launch if you are able to. If not, make sure to line up early in the morning to get ahead of anyone else ( who may or may not try to scalp the consoles for financial gain).

Haha, if you didn't preorder, the only way you can get a console is going to a store that doesn't accept pre-orders. GameStop? No way. They've been sold out since September, you'll be on the waitlist if you ask to pre-order, and there are already 250,000+ people on the waitlist alone. Bestbuy has been sold out also. They won't make exceptions, or randomly give you a console. If you went to Nintendo World, you could get one, since they give on a first come first served basis. But that line will also fill, so you'd have to go a few days in advanced, and wait on a line for days. In other words, you won't get a Wii U on launch day. Sorry, I'm not either :/

7 days 7 hours!!! YAYYYYYYYY ONE WEEK

Will they be showing Just Dance?

JUST DANCE 2014 YAY WOOOOO

Just Dance 5? :3

*Cough* Just Dance 4 *Cough*
;D

It's coming November! Good thing because I didn't want to buy it on my Wii (And I can't) :3

Can't wait for it Looks really great.

The X360 & PS3 had more games out then the Wii U does at the same point in their lifespan, that's the issue.

I'm thinking of it this way, if it's true or not. When the Xbox 360 and PS3 came out, they were something new. The graphics were great, all the new features were awesome. Developers were excited to get their hands on the HD and stuff. But now the Wii U is out, and the 1080p and such is nothing new. It's just another console. When the PS4 and Xbox 720 come out, they probably won't have as many games as the 360/PS3 either at the same point.

And as another point worth noting, games like BF3, or Sims 3 or whatever, won't come out for Wii U because their next game is coming fairly soon, so it would be pointless. Once their next game comes, they'll probably release it for Wii U aswell.

Probably not entirely or even true at all, but that's the way I see it just from thinking about it.

You can't sell your Wii U. If you are, have you forgotten that Super Smash Bros U is coming in a few years?
I'm also annoyed that there aren't many third party games, but the console is still brand new, just deal with it. Same thing happened with 3DS, but they've gotten games since then. The Wii U is not doomed IMO, it was sold out pre-orders EVERYWHERE, that doesn't just happen. Just give it a year, I guess.

The only thing I'm waiting for is something like Colors! to draw on the gamepad. How can that NOT be out yet?????

If you only use it as a web browser, it's pointless to not sell it. You can use your Wii U as a web browser!

Yay finally, now I can get an Xbox One  

Really not a fan of Sony...

The Kinect being mandatory really isn't a problem, as long as it doesn't do things like charge according to the amount of people in the room and I don't mind paying an extra $100 for it, I'm going to get Just Dance 2014 on it anyways, so it's good that it comes with it in the first place for me.

Did the kid think that his mom would respawn? He said I wish this was a dream or whatever, what an idiot. This is why you don't buy you're mentally unstable children shooting games, or guns.

Every time I pick up my gamepad, I feel like I am holding a handheld or a tablet of some sort... then I remember that it's a controller... then I think to myself "why does it have two screens again?" This is one thing I can't find the answer to since most of the things it does could have just used a wii remote! Like miiverse, sure it's more efficient to type on something besides pointing at the TV... but that's not what I am focusing on. The one game that everyone expects will show what the Wii U is capable of, it's graphics, innovation-al game-play, etc. Is nintendo land. Now people may think I am going to say "oh it sucks 'cause it's a mini game collection!" But to be honest I had fun playing it. My only complaint is some of these games don't require the gamepad! Like that one metroid game... WHY?! I mean I know you can use the wii remote when you're on ground, but in air you need the gamepad... why make it so hard? In the one zelda game the second player uses the gamepad to shoot arrows, but why couldn't they just use wii remote and nunchuck? It's the same thing... but more realistic! And if you've played ANY wii game that has you holding something and swinging it around...you've played this... this game is a rehash of that one awesome sword game on wii sports resort! Minus the archery part! The pikmin game.... I thought it was fine playing pikmin 2 on wii with the wii remote, why change it? All I have to say... that f-zero game, you can see the map on the gamepad and it has motion controls... wii remote has motion controls... but I am not necessarily saying that all the games are bad, I am just saying like 2 or 3 of them have redundant gamepad use. Some of them you can just use a wii remote, but the gamepad stays on! Same thing with New super mario bros. U! Sometimes I like using the wii remote in that game! But why must the gamepad stay on? The only choice you have is putting it in sleep mode through the home menu. Oh and the Wii U freezes... happened to me twice in new super mario bros. U, but I am guessing this is a miiverse problem and nintendo will take care of it so I will leave it at that. And that is my (pointlessish rant) on Wii U...

Well mostly because Nintendo Land was the game to show off most of the features of the GamePad. It had like every way possible to play within all the minigames. Other games only use the Wiimote, and use the GamePad for something like a radar. I don't see how using the Wii remote is better than the GamePad anyway, I love holding the GamePad :]

If no one released pirated game running programs, this would be great. Homebrew and emulators and all, that's great. But pirated games will ruin the Wii U even more, and we'll all have a dead console. But if somehow you could not pirate games, this would be SO amazing. It would up sales of Wii U, and software would still be fine too. 

 

And @above about the whole Wii games were easy because 4GB, PS3 games are also 20GB+, but some games can be around 5GB if they don't use the whole disc. Also, it's really not as much as you'd think. You just need a 100GB+ external HDD, and you put them all on there. I've downloaded a PS3 ISO before.

Although I LOVE piracy a lot, I don't want this. Not yet. Of course if it releases, I'm going to get it. But it's far too early in the Wii U stages to have piracy available. Yes it may create more console sales, but once people start pirating all the games and no one buys it, developers will dump the U, leaving it with LESS games.

It'll screw up everything. Hopefully it waits a few years.

I wish they would make a Paper Mario U or something new and fresh.

Also... Where the hell is F-Zero D: Please Nintendo Stop Spaming Mario and Zelda!

If the Wii U Paper Mario will be anything like the 3DS one, you can count me out. It was disappointing, especially when waiting for it specifically since 2010.

I returned my copy the next day, Nintendo really dropped the ball on that one.

So I'm not the only one? Wow I thought I was the only one disappointed. I really played Paper Mario for the story, and once I saw the whole level layout I got so disappointed. No one talks, only toads. After waiting over a year for this game, it was upsetting... Too bad I digitally downloaded, so I can't return it :/
