Topic: Wii U launch discussion

I know, but they will come sometime
Also the first games I'll transfer is DKC trilogy

I just got called by my GS and they said they have a basic held for me tomorrow, even though I preordered it at target...

Argh, I have to choose a store to go to when the store opens by the end of today to see if they may have any leftover deluxe sets... I'm thinking target as they may have more there as it isn't a game store, plus I get a free $5 card, but at GS I get power up points... Help?

You guys in America must be getting proper hyped up now, I'm well jealous got like 2 weeks yet till it comes to England

I'm happy for all of you getting it at launch. And I also have to say, be thankful for being able to do so. I'll be extremely lucky if I can afford to get it this year...

I'll see if I can get it at launch not too sure. I'll call a store tomorrow to see if they have it before I headout.

Well, I will not get to pick mine up until tomorrow, but it doesn't matter. It is not getting cracked open until Christmas.

Best Buy for me tomorrow!

ITS ALMOST HERE!

Didn't pre-order in time and JUST conned-- I MEAN CONVINCED my parents to get on the wait list.

The next shipment can not come fast enough.

Just found out my Best Buy is doing a midnight opening. Five hours, three minutes to go!

new console launch.
so exciting. too bad i dont have money for a new console.

I wish my Best Buy was doing it. Its only in select cities.

I'm actually happy nowhere in my area is doing a midnight launch... I wouldn't be allowed to go anyway, 2 hours too late for me.

And this may sound like paranoia, but would breaking off the target preorder card from the reservation card (If you keep both) void the preorder? I'm just paranoid that something bad would happen that would let my preorder be stolen.

I'll ask it here, but does anyone know if the Game Pad can control DVD players? Or is it TV only?

@Erica_Hartmann: I don't think so. It can only alter the TV's power, volume, channels, input etc., as most universal TV remotes do.

Oh my gosh, guys, if you preordered at walmart...

THEY BROKE THE WII U'S STREET DATE! (In some areas at least)

At least according to wiiublog.com, but still, if so, this is awesome! Hopefully if that's the case I can find someone who will unbox the white wii U, as I'll get that.

Ah well, our universal remote is a pain to deal with when it comes to the DVD player, lol.

watching someone who got one early livesrtream it. the update took a while to download.

really hypec to get one next year.

Who is it? I wanna see him with his Wii U

My wii just bricked... I wanna know could I use a friends wii to transfer my VC data? Or do I have to send it in to Nintendo? And can I get it fixed for free? (BTW I did nothing against community rules to my wii)

How did it brick? Just now?
