Fallen

Welcome to the forums! I sent you a friend request as well

EDIT: I've sent friend requests to everyone in this thread that is BEFORE my post.

Going to go through this thread and add all of you, feel free to add me "Hallucination"

Hey guys feel free to add me, my NNID is Hallucination.
For now I only play NintendoLand and ZombiU.
When you add me let me know on here via message.

Ah I didn't get any notifications from the replies on here, but I got an update on the situation for those of you still interested in this.

When I got home I decided it would be a little fun to rub some salt in the wound and call the Gamestop ask if they had it in stock to be a little bit of a hassle. When I called I told them I saw on their website that they had it in stock. The guy on the phone told me it was a "glitch in their system" as I was about to hang up he says "Oh wait a second, I'm looking at 3 bundles right now! Come pick it up I'll hold it for you." I literally pokerfaced so hard. When I arrived *again* the manager thanked me for coming back and apologized for not checking/realizing their stock in store and for just assuming things.

In the end all is good and I finally got my hands on a Wii U, and Zombi U (which was on sale because it's a Ubisoft game I guess they had some Ubisoft sale today?). When I first created this thread I was pretty livid with them. Although everything worked out in the end it would've been nice if they just checked in the first place.

There were a lot of forum comments going about prior to launch at how the wii u was a next gen system and super powerful and would compete with the next playstation and xbox but this was never going to happen. Unfortunately because of these fanboy posts many people's expectations were un-realistically raised and there are numerous posts all over the internet with people disappointed with what the wii u is offering.

You buy a Nintendo console if you love Nintendo games and the type of games than Nintendo consoles get mainly. The wii u is a brilliant package overall and I'm really enjoying mine. The gamepad introduces a new direction in gaming just like the wii motion controller did.

If you want a powerful gaming system don't bother with a console get a PC which offers a lot more tech for your buck.

I own a PS3 and 360 as well as wii u and can see the appeal of all 3. Remember the wii launched with a spec inferior to the original xbox but still went on to massive success because it never competed in the same area and appealed to different consumers.

100% support this post.
Finally someone else who realizes that console gaming isn't all about graphics.
