So, I ordered the Wii U, did U? NOW WITH FAULT REPORT (See Post No.)

[genjiglove]

They are in stock on Gamestop's website.

 

[SNKorSWM]

The gamestop in the nearby mall still has some.

 

[OrochiEddie]

New custom title and everything. Love that shit

 

[Dr Shroom]

There were still plenty available locally, both versions. I expected something like the Wii launch where you couldn't get one for a month but it's not the case this time.
Also 350€ for the 32GB one, get fucked nintendo.

 

[NeoTurfMasta]

get fucked nintendo.

damn, youz a hater

 

[Mendel]

I think Nintendo made a huge mistake with this launch.
1. It´s not casual enough for casual gamers (controller isnt as simple as the wiimote)
2. Its not hardcore enough for hardcore gamers. (no technological achievement compared to ps360.)
3. Software lineup is not convincing for most people.

It´s going to need a Zelda game, a Mario Galaxy 3 and a price drop. Maybe some exclusive 3rd party killer app too.

I don't agree with any of this.

All I want is a new F-Zero game, is that too much to ask for?

new F-zero
new Star fox (that doesnt suck)
new Wave race
new excitebike

Nintendo needs to revisit some of their older franchises. Enough mario and zelda already...

Agreed. A new 1080 would be nice too. As a general rule, I'm not big on Snowboarding titles, but the 64 and GCN's 1080 games were really good.

As is often the case, most of these will probably end up on the 3DS as opposed to receiving 'full-fat' versions for the WiiU

 

[neo_mao]

yeah, the 1080 games were great

I've seen the Wii U 32s in a couple of stores (Walmart and 2 different Toys R Us). Was mighty tempted to get it, but just can't justify the +$450 - $500 I know I'd be spending on it right now.

 

[Dr Shroom]

I love the stuff some people draw with the very limited tools...didn't expect to see a picture of powdered toast man pop up

 

[Mendel]

JESUS man, give it fuckin chance.

It´s Nintendo who should have given themselves a chance! They should have learned with 3ds launch that doing a new system launch without software to back it up is a mistake.

All I want is a new F-Zero game, is that too much to ask for?

Omg yes. F-zero with visuals and speed to exceed Wipeout HD would be enough for me to get a Wii U.

 

[Dr Shroom]

For people who don't have any other consoles the launch titles are more than solid.

 

[Magician]

So, reports are that NintendoTVii is going live tomorrow (in North America).

Cable tv/Satellite tv/Amazon Instant/Hulu Plus/Facebook/Twitter all rolled into one app.

With Netflix and TiVo being added in an update sometime next year.

The game that guy is playing looks boring as fuck.

 

[SNKorSWM]

Uploaded by a user mere weeks since the launch date. This certainly doesn't bode well.

[SouthtownKid]

That game looks boring as fuck, too.

did that stupid fucker say "Welfare PCs"?

He's...not entirely off the mark. Consoles today are little more than dated, high-end PC rigs. Chalk the video poster's opinion up to being in line with the good old PC gaming mentality. That console gaming, in someway or another, is inferior to PC gaming.

Which is correct or incorrect depending on your point of view.

Still, it's an excellent trolling video. I'll give him that much.

 

[SouthtownKid]

Undermined a bit by his own pre-pubescent cackling. And the fact he is criticizing Nintendo while playing what looks like the most boring game known to man.

 

[Magician]
