illogicology

I guess, I actually got my bundle for £160 because of staff discount and a voucher i had so i thought it was a decent deal.

Oh yeah, I know it's not going to be the same for everybody. I was on a really tight budget so close to Christmas too so that factored in. I don't think either is a particularly bad choice, it just depends on how much good £50 is to you.

My Amazon.co.uk order just bumped up to "Dispatching Soon."

Excitement!

I wanted a white one but i thought it was a better deal buying the black since it came with more memory and a game

The black one just didn't seem worth it to me. A game I wasn't hugely interested in, storage I'll need to expand anyway, a discount/loyalty scheme that's dependent on my spending £50-£60 on eShop purchases for £5 off and a sensor bar I can just take from the Wii. Might as well pay £50 less and get NintendoLand, USB HDD and spare sensor bar over the next couple of years as I need them.

Mercy, is it Wednesday already? Amazon UK dispatches should kick off tonight, by all accounts. Excitement.

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!

This is crazier than that time my nephew asked me what a GameBoy was.

Pikmin 3 is the reason my girlfriend and I are getting the Wii U. I'm a big fan of the series. As for my girlfriend, she's completed the first so many times. She plays it at least once every six months. Speaking of which, we'll have to get the Wii version of Pikmin at some point since the Wii U won't play Gamecube games.

But.... Cheese...

Don't worry, I still make cracking toast!

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.

I don't think playing Wii games on the Gamepad really makes sense. I mean, for most Wii games you're talking about co-ordinating the Gamepad and Wii Remote which is just really awkward. Sure it would be nice if it worked for games that support the classic controller but that's really not that many games. For Virtual Console stuff there's just no excuse though. I know the Wii U's own virtual console is coming soon, but it will be quite disappointing if Nintendo expects us to buy the NES Super Mario Bros. all over again just so we don't have to play it in their fenced off little Wii Mode.
