Is anyone planning on getting the new Wii U? I really want to play some old Nintendo games like Mario Bros and Zelda etc.. But their new consoles are outrageous.. I just want a basic one like PS3.. A regular controller.. But I'll prolly get this because I dont have to do Wii movement..

Oh, goody.

It's going to be really cool. Besides, wouldn't you want a game system that I could transfer to the controller, freeing up the TV for you to use?

I've decided I am gonna get this Wii U.. And this controller made my decision.. I like These controllers best.. But the screen on the other one will be cool to watch tv too..

Went to go see about preordering the Wii U. It is completely sold out a 2 months in advance already.. Unless you want to pay double the price..

I got mine preordered. I checked GameStop as of 2 days ago and they were still preordering the 299 version. Looks like they aren't anymore.

Shame.

This is freaking dumb.. Why are they out of preorder stock.. They can't make them fast enough? You'd think the more they sell the more money they make and the games they sell too.. Just dumb

MESA! :thud:
If we were smart we'd have pre-ordered a bunch & then sold them at a premium at Christmas time, like when the Wii first came out. It was crazy.

(I'd have sold to you for face, Gee :))

Alright ya.. This system kicks ass.. iMovie can just switch to the game pad instead of it taking up my tv.. Can't wait for more games to come out.. So far games I'm waiting on are Zelda, Lego City, Battlefield and a few others..

I really enjoyed NintendoLand. I haven't really had a chance to get into ZombieU yet, but I hope to soon.

I really like the Netflix, Hulu Plus apps on the Wii, more than the 360 and PS3.

WiiTV is awesome as well, although without cable or satellite, it seems less likely to be used.

I just scored a PS3 320GB for $80. :D It will most likely just sit around collecting dust, right next to the dusty Wii.

Even if you're not a gamer, having an internet-connected Blu-Ray player with Netflix, Amazon, Cinema Now, Hulu Plus, etc., on it is pretty great.

And if you're not a gamer, go grab the Uncharted and Mass Effect Trilogies now, you will become one quickly :D
