Nice.....My son played/still plays the crap out of WarioWare and a couple of other games. Of course he's a little older now than when i bought it for him but I consider it $200 well spent for the amount of hours he played on it not to mention the fact he had to get up and move and dance and stuff which is light years ahead of the 360 couch potato stuff.

Yeah, I'm not stoked about this system and I personally think that this could be Nintendo's last home entertainment system. They have the handheld market down pat but honestly they show up early to the system release party and by the time Sony and Microsoft come out with their new systems the Wii U will be ancient. The only games that would make me get this system are the new Zelda game, whenever that one comes out, and Pikmin 3. But then you're talking about 2 games... After many of the video game reviews of New Super Mario Bros. 2 came out for the 3DS all of them said that there wasn't anything new, I'd have to believe New Super Mario Bros Wii U will be the same.

Its ok......I look at it almost like a Wii 2.0. It does feel as if this system is playing "catch up" with the 360 and PS3 and not necessarily a next gen system.

Nintendo announced they will not be selling the gamepad as a separate accessory to meet demand for the consoles in the USA. I imagine that will change eventually.

Also, Amazon hasn't listed the Wii U for preorder yet. Kind of odd. They sent an email apologizing for not having it.

Had a best buy preorder, which they canceled when I went to switch the store location pickup. Site had listed a location that was local to me as available, but it turned out it was a computer glitch.

Unreal.

So why is the controller a gameboy? Is it for those times when you really need to go, making it so you dont have to pause the game and can continue playing while you are taking a shit?

I pre-ordered at gamestop. I don't really care for either best buy or gamestop, but Amazon won't have it for pre-order.

Thankfully I also have a preorder at Gamestop that I was planning on using for re-sale, but now that Best Buy F'd me, I'll just give the gamestop to my son.

23 titles at launch

http://www.washingtonpost.com/busine...3bf_story.html

Nintendo announced Wednesday that it will debut with 23 games in its launch lineup for the Wii U.

The next-generation console from the embattled company will be out in time for the holidays. The games announced Wednesday are heavy on ports from other consoles and titles from Nintendo itself. They include darker, more complex titles such as “Call of Duty: Black Ops II,” “Arkham City Armored Edition” and “Assassin’s Creed III,” but also games such as “Just Dance 4,” “Epic Mickey 2” and, of course, “New Super Mario Bros. U.”

The company also named several titles that will arrive by the end of March, including “Wii Fit U,” “NBA 2K13” and “Mass Effect 3.” The console will cost $299 and will be in stores on Nov. 18.

It's going to be real interesting to see how the console sells. It's the first major console system in 6 years and obviously the causal gaming world has changed a lot since then.

I'd like to have one, just not into paying $50 to $60 for games anymore. I'm more of a wait a year or two and buy it for $19.99 at GameStop.
