Hmm didn't even notice this one before looks fantastic....how much is it in the eshop?

In my signature : )

its not telling me when mine is coming. it hasnt updated in 2 days.

Callll ill say again fedex online tracking is unreliable! Trust me I have something delivered like every 2 weeks.

Possibly they are trying to make sure their preorders are fulfilled before selling to general?

I don't honestly remember what I chose for shipping. Hoping for delivery yet today as I took Monday- Wednesday off of work to just chill out and play Nintendo. Oh well, I sit and wait even longer with nothing else to do (well, there's plenty I could do, but chose not to)

You can always call and speak to someone as well. A few times this has happened to me and I called and was informed the delivery was much further ahead than the online tracking led me to believe. I never trust the online tracker.

Bravo! Very well written! Post the response when you get it will be eager to see how they handle this...

Definitely, loads of fun!! Me and my wife were just texting back and forth about how we both can't wait to get off work and get home, full night of Mario and Zombi U ahead

I don't even care about slow menu load times, Miiverse not up to 100% yet, or whatever....we're loving it.

Man I'm so jealous of guys with gamer wives. Anything more than bejeweled and mine isn't interested...

It doesn't always update on the weekend. Judging from my frequent FedEx deliveries I'd say its on he truck for delivery today or tomorrow : )

I called the corporate customer service number, and they basically said sorry, but there's nothing we can do except pass along the inconvenience that you had and to try and suggest that changes are made in the future. Even with the manager at my local Target store saying that the system will be put aside for me on Wednesday, I still don't trust that store, becuase it should have been held in the first place and that didn't happen. I think Target has to look up the definition of "reservation". What was the benefit of buying this reservation card if John Doe can walk in off the street and buy the system that is supposed to be set aside for me to purchase within 7 days of the release date?

Follow this up with an email to the corporate office and cc the local store so they see you sent it. Word it professionally and strongly. It's important to be heard as, although you are getting the system Wednesday, you were guaranteed a console on Sunday. And your local store manipulated policy for whatever reason and you ended up getting the shaft for it. I am not one for complaining when unnecessary but stuff like this just drives me nuts. If you buy something tangible that's a guarantee, you should be able to take that guarantee to the bank, it's not like they made a mistake they just disregarded the policy in order to sell ( or keep) reserved units. I never let people pull hat stuff on me without a fight. Just my 2 cents...

I let mine fullly charge before use. Want to do it right with that nice piece of equipment.

I haven't had a chance to play around with this feature too much. My TV is connected to my AV receiver which is connected to my Directv box. Right now I'm using one remote to turn on the receiver one to turn on the tv and one to turn on box/ change channels...not the best way to do it. Can the gamepad be programmed to all 3 or just 1 of 3?

Has anyone tried sports connection yet? Also there was another one in the eshop it was like mini golf and arcade basketball...can't remember the name though. Just looking for some opinions on these titles...need my wii golf fix!

Looking for something soft and with a good grip for my gamepad. So far I've only seen some real cheap silicone cases, wondering if anyone can recommend anything else.

It seems like there was no store wide policy on these cards. I heard another guy whose target to,d him they were short stocked. I bought the deluxe reservation card but was very wary. I called the day before electronics worker assured me it was guaranteed. Regardless I got there at 9 on Sunday they had sold out of all general purchase units but mine was safely stored in the back. He said I was the first one to show up to pick up a reservation. Sorry you're having a bad experience. Make sure you complain to target corporate and be loud about it maybe they'll compensate you somehow...

Hmm they're like a featured "hot item" on eBay so a lot of people are..

I see there are some really popular ones on eBay for like half the price of the Nintendo branded versions. I can't really find reviews as they seem to be no name knockoffs. Just wondering if anyone has tried these or heard anything. eBay is flooded with them...

Bkpiazza - games are that good because they've improved that much, not because of the Wii U. Assuming developes continue to make games for the 360/PS3, they will continue to improve along with the Wii U.

I'm done saying negative opinions about the Wii U though. I dislike some things about it but I also dislike Vita, 360, Kinect, traded my PS3, traded my two favorite games... you get the picture. The only thing I can think of that I'm happy with is my family and friends, internet friends, etc.

Hmm I'm not sure what you mean by your first sentence...

My logic is that if wii u launch titles can replicate and improve upon (1080p ac3) late cycle graphics from the other 2 systems using a Brand new os, console build and dev kit, then it stands to reason the graphics of wii.u games in the coming years will be substantially better than the launch graphics.

Historically, launch titles of a new system are the lowest graphical quality of the life cycle. We've seen this as the case in every console released in the last fifteen years. So by that logic, if launch titles graphically are on par with current late life cycle systems then the wii u will surpass them in the long run.

Just look up gameplay vids of call of duty 2 on 360 compared to black ops 2 360 to put your mind at ease.

Surely you don't mean 1080p 3d correct? You mean it can run the game @1080p and also in 3d at a lower res...

Hey everyone. I know I'm a new user but have been watching you all from afar for weeks (creepy?) anyway I tried to register during that time but kept getting errors finally went through.

Just wanted to throw out my two cents on the wii u (I literally own every recent system as well so I have a good base for comparison- ps3 360 vita 3ds wii self built gaming pc)

Recently I started feeling so jaded about games. It was like I'd keep trying to get into a game and just couldn't. Everything felt so stale, even my old favorites.

The way I look at the wii u is that it's something new, and it feels fresh. Maybe it's not as powerful as we hoped (still debatable), and for people complaining about launch titles and graphics....you need to look at Xbox and ps3 launch titles. Resistance and cod 2 were not huge graphical improvements over previous systems. It takes time for devs to adapt to a new kit...especially after working with the same hardware for 8 years.

The os is intuitive and feels very alive. Miiverse is a great new way to communicate and connect to other gamers. The browser is fast and responsive ( I didn't reach for my ipad once last night). The load times are terrible, yes, but we all know this will be addressed in a patch very soon.

And the game pad. Wow this thing is impressive. Gimmicky? I think not. How have we been gaming without this thing for so long. I hope every future controller has a touchscreen from here on out. Really immersive way to game and although the display is not hd I wouldn't have known it to look. Crisp vivid and responsive. Once I get a nice silicon cover to help my grip this thing will be perfect.

So far I've played NSMBU Nintendo Land and Zombiu. I haven't played a Mario side scroller since snes and man I SUCK haha but it's beautifully designed and a lot of nostalgic fun. NL is really addictive and the visual design of the mini games are very aesthetically pleasing. A nice intro to the system (although its no sports champion). Zombiu is terrifying haha. Idk why so many people complain about the graphics. Being a pc gamer primarily I am definitely a graphics connessieur (whore) and am very impressed by the visuals. Very atmospheric and fitting for the type of game it is. Controls are definitely floaty but I'm sure ill adapt.

Anyway I'm very happy with the first impressions this has made on me and in no way feel buyers remorse for my purchase. To those of you feeling bummed because of too high expectations or just feel disappointed remember its a launch. Launches, as a rule (although there are exceptions) are not smooth. Bugs will be fixed, graphics improved, patches released. If you find yourself happy with the general features and innovations of his new system then I'm sure it will be a good fit in the long run!

Sorry for any spelling or grammar errors I'm typing on an ipad in my lap. Thanks for listening to the ramblings of a new member!
