Hey welcome to the forums, I'll be going to a midnight release of the Wii U at my local GAME, I've Pre Ordered a ZombiU Bundle with Assassin's Creed 3 and Tank! Tank! Tank! I did have Scribblenauts Unlimited Pre Ordered but I found out today that it's not a launch title so I canceled that one, thinking about getting Darksiders 2 or New Super Mario Bros U instead
Awesome, we'll have to swap IDs when the 30th rolls around.
Confession time, folks. I am not actually Gromit.

Why not just wait until it hits the bargain bins. The reviews are poor and its unlikely to hold full price for long.
That's my plan. Can't justify paying full price with reviews as bad as they are, but I'm a big Bond fan so I'll probably play it eventually.

#136667 Wii U 'Has A Horrible, Slow CPU' Says Metro Last Light Dev

THQ aint in the position to be picky. The Wii U seems to be a profitable train to ride on and if THQ doest want to cash in on it so its THQ's loss and perhaps their eventual death.
It is right now but that might not be the case for long. Nintendo has been pretty clever in getting the jump on the competition like this, but AAA titles can take years to develop well. THQ might miss out for a year, but the truth is that the Wii U is something of a gamble, and nobody knows where Nintendo will be in 2014. I can think of another console that launched a year before the competition, did very well for a bit and then died, taking the whole hardware division of its parent company with it.

Have you even read about the PS4/nextbox rumors? Other than power they sound stupid. So I think the Big N is safe.
Rumours are just that, rumours. This Wii U is a very risky move and releasing now means it has to fight for a market share during two console generations. Launching a console a year ahead of the competition, with less power than the competition and relying on more unconventional features to differentiate yourself in the market is a risky strategy. It paid off for Nintendo with the Wii but that was in a very different economic climate and with an industry in a very different place. Furthermore, in a year's time the Wii U isn't just going to be fighting against the new consoles, but against the Wii's reputation which was soured towards the end of its life. There's a section of the Wii owning market that felt marginalised in the last generation and they'll be more cautious this time and so all Microsoft and Sony really need to do to win over that demographic is promise a steady supply of mainstream, modern games.

Which reminds me, we could use a thread for us Brits/Europeans to talk about the impending launch, delivery dates, woes, swap NNIDs etc. Do we have one of those yet?

Now, as you all know, Professor Nintendo's Fantabulous Wee-ooh Gaming Machine ™ arrives at the White Cliffs of Dover within a week. To celebrate this remarkable state of affairs, I am introducing this thread for the rest of us charming Gentlemen to discuss the impending launch. Feel free to keep us updated on deliveries, stock issues, UK Wii U news and even excitement when it finally arrives. Nothing too vulgar, if you please. At the end of the whole sordid affair, we can tidy up and swap NNIDs.
I'll get the kettle on.
#138869 WII U SURROUND SOUND PROBLEM SOLVED!

Pure bull... I have a Logitech sound system, and its one of a few cheaper sets that supports a pc at 5.1, and now if I want 5.1 on my console I need a whole new system because they chose not to go with the industry standard, or at least give the option? Pure ridiculousness.
Surely if it's a PC system, it's using three 3.5mm jacks right? That's their usual setup a no home A/V stuff uses that input.
Nobody is really losing anything from this decision. The Wii U is pretty much an HDMI only device, you can't output picture via HDMI and audio from the MultiAV port either so people without HDMI receivers were out of luck anyway.
Though, there is one silly decision according the American WiiU owners of NeoGAF. When you're listening to a stereo source, instead of sending a stereo signal it still outputs 5.1 but only sends information to the front channels. This means that if you do have it hooked up to an HDMI receiver, you're not going to be able to get ProLogic or DTS:Neo6 surround sound extrapolated because the receiver thinks it's getting 5.1 already.

Just thought I would mention there's a pinned topic in this forum where everyone's already been trading NNIDs its highly convenient as a list of NNIDs has been compiled there. Also other PAL territories such as Australia et al will be getting the Wii U come the 30th so would be cool to hear their Wii U stories aswell
Compiled NNID thread is good, will hunt it down. We should still have a regional list though since I quite enjoy playing games with people who are awake at the same time as me.
P.S The Aussies can join this thread if AND ONLY IF they stop beating us at cricket.
Is there Jam?
Yes. But the Bees have got into it!

Yep Indeed, I have mine ordered with a local GAME store, sadly I have a lazy @ss manager who wont open at midnight....The nerve of it
Oh noes!
I have gone with Amazon. I know it's not as exciting as the midnight launch, but I like to save for stuff like this in Amazon vouchers and I had about £75's worth built up when pre-orders opened so it was silly to go elsewhere.

I agree the only reason I preordered with game is £500 store credit from previous trade-in's
Ooh, nice.
My only concern now is delivery. I'm on leave anyway so I'm not going to miss it, but if Amazon send my Parcel with Yodel again then I just might cry.
