So I was just in line waiting to get my number for Black Ops 2 (36 btw) and the GameStop cashier saw my AC3 on Pre order and asked if I was coming to the midnight launch. I asked if he was serious and said yeah!
I told him that'll be there all day waiting for my number! Lol I'm dead serious on that one
GameStop will be having a Midnight Launch for the Wii U

Damn straight gamestop!! No way they can just do a midnight launch for CoD and not for Wii U that would be ridiculously disrespectful

I don't think this is all of them - on yesterday my local Gamestop said it definitely wasn't doing a midnight launch. I'm calling on friday to verify again though.

Yes Tricky is right not all Gamestops are having Midnight Launch.
I am the hero this forum needs, but not the one it deserves.

I hope my local GAME does a midnight launch for Wii U, but we hardly get midnight launches for systems over here for security reasons 
the odd few ruin it for everyone.

My gamestop also confirmed there is NOT going to be a midnight launch due to safety reasons. But they are opening at 10am Sunday morning.

The thread title is pretty misleading. I don't see why it's so hard to word thread titles so they don't give the wrong message.

My store has been telling me tons of things. First yes, then no, then " we're not sure", then finally I was able to speak to the manager and he said he'd do the midnight launch regardless of corporate allowing him to. But today I was told " we're not sure", but I don't remember what the manager looked like. So I'n not sure, but I'm putting bets on the manager I talked to last week.

The Gamestop I was at today said they weren't even opening early because "every Gamestop around here only has 4-5 preorders". And the Gamestop where I have mine pre-ordered said they had 15. No idea what to believe at this point, but you'd think they would know the week of, right?

Mine said they got 15 preorders. So no reason to be around for a couple hours.
I think if stores had about 20 preorders and 20 consoles available first come first serve on launch day I think there would have been midnight launches

My local gamestop isn't having one. The dude working there said that they might open an hour earlier or something, but no midnight launch.
The post above was certified to be simply smashing by the Wii U Forum Staff.
