Can't wait for it Looks really great.

Probably ditching Black Ops 2 to get this on Launch, since I'm short on money and might not even be able to afford one game. This game looks amazing, I'm definitely getting it eventually.

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.

Since the Wii U has a better video card, I've noticed it runs games a lot smoother. I can't say anything about the Lego game crashing problem, because I've never owned any Lego games.

Here are the list of Wii U games that I won't be buying--


* Funky Barn
* ABC's Wipeout 3
* Rapala Pro Bass Fishing
* Ben 10: Omniverse
* Family Party: 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade
* Jett Tailfin
* Game Pary Champions

Agreed.
Most of the games are pretty good and worth buying, but the games here are all pretty trashy. I wouldn't buy any of them.

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.

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.

Are the TVs 720p? Because I used a 720p TV and I had to first go into settings on GamePad and change the resolution, which was 1080p. I don't know if it's the case, but it worked for me I guess.

I'm sure the sales will sky-rocket once SSB is announced, or released. And some other games too, like Wind Waker HD will boost up sales.

Wii U Pro Controller does not play Wii Games. You could use a Wii remote to play Wii U games. You will need Wii remotes, you use them a lot to play many games for Wii U.

Shop around. You'll save more than $6 and get the disc.

Whatchu mean? :3 Save more than $6 doing what?

For instance, Tekken is 16.7 GB

Aren't all retail games will be available on the eshop?
Also, I've heard multiple times that the prices will be the same as at retail.
The 10% cheaper you have heard may in fact include the premium download moneyback offer.

That would be awesome to get $6 for every digital download of a game. That makes me want to download all of my games. I also need to invest in an external harddrive.

7 days 7 hours!!! YAYYYYYYYY ONE WEEK

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 :/

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

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 :]

The 7 hour download has nothing to do with the Wii U, it's your internet that's causing the issues. It took me around 30 minutes.
The only thing I want is some extra apps like drawing and some board games and all :] Hopefully they will be available for cheap in the eShop. The stand isn't that cheap, it does what it needs to. And also a camera app would be cool too :3 Although you can only take pics of yourself, it's still cool. I'm not saying I expect it in the eShop, because it's only the first day.
But overall, I would give Wii U a 9.5/10 :] I looooove it.

..Except it's not

It's like the vita cartridge upside down. But what would you use this for? Where would you put it?

There seems to be a lot more basic models being produced so it will sell more regardless. The deluxe will be more popular just because it's black, has a Nintendo game bundled, and comes with a digital bonus. It just hits a lot of bases at once, even though I personally don't like black or care much about Nintendo Land lol.

I don't think the black has anything to do with it, I wanted a white Wii U to match my Wii, but I wanted the deluxe more. I think Nintendo Land is the main pull of the deluxe. You get a $60 game for $50 extra, and more space, too. Great deal, which is why it'll sell more. Although, if someone is getting Wii U as a present for someone else, or their young children, they'll go with basic. If you're buying for yourself, or you asked your parents to get it for you, you'll most likely get deluxe.

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

*Cough* Just Dance 4 *Cough*
;D

Yeah, Just Dance 4 told me there is a uPlay app in the eShop also, but I didn't see it either.

I bought Paper Mario Sticker Star to kill time, but my sister plays it more than I do!

I'm getting X and my brother is getting Y. I think the Y mascot is way cooler, but I just like the X name better
