Got the Deluxe at launch. Sadly not at midnight (a lot of GameStop's didn't have a midnight launch for whatever reason). Got it in the morning when they opened. Only other people there waiting  were two guys who I overheard their conversation about buying all the Wii Us in the area and selling them.

 

Jerks.

Release day was a sunday and since mine was ordered online and that there's no delivery on Sunday, I got it the next day. So, the day after official release.

It's very likely I got mine within two years from now.

Why doesn’t Mario have an absurd crotch buldge holding in his 10 inch slice of manhood? Why doesn’t Yoshi look like a Fist of the North Starcharacter.

By the time Resident Evil: Revelations and Deus Ex Human Revolution Director's Cut where announced for the Wii U I was convinced to get it. I got a used Deluxe package along with New Super Mario Bros. U, Zombi U, Trine 2: Directors Cut, Mass Effect 3: Special Edition and Nintendoland, for a bargain price right around the spring update, which basically made the system useful. Since I had already finished The Mass Effect series and have no interest in Nintendoland I traded them in in order to pre-order Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros.

 

 

Since then I bought Assassin's Creed 3, Monster Hunter 3: Ultimate on sale, and have borrowed and played Batman: Arkham City Armoured Edition and Need For Speed Most Wanted U.

Sometime when time allows for it, I'll be getting Rayman Legends, Splinter Cell Blacklist, The Wonderful 101 and Watch_Dogs.

 

I really hope Shadow of The Eternals will somehow get made, since it was my #1 most anticipated title.

 

Now, someone please tell me that we still have no good games to play on the Wii U. This is about the best first year for a new console I can think of.

I got mine in January with Nintendo Land, NSMBU, and ZombiU. It wasn't until Lego City came out that I really started to get into it though, and then I got Assassins Creed 3 (only one I've ever finished just because I loved playing on Wii U) and Batman (Wii U version was best for me)

I picked mine up in June 2013 ... I have really been loving it ever since ... I was not happy with N64 or Game Cube ... I was a little happier with the Wii than those but am the most happy with the Wii U.  In my opinion, the Wii U is the best console Nintendo has ever made.

I got the delux for the same price as the basic because they priced it wrong and did not want to dispute it with me haha.

 

This was from EB games, Gamestop in America.
