I just got picked up my Wii U from UPS last night. It was a pain in the arse to set up what with all the cables in the back of my receiver but it's all done. I only had a few minutes to play the games I picked up on launch day (New Super Mario U and Sonic All-Stars Racing) both of which seem like they will be a helluva lot of fun. I felt like a kid on Christmas. Anyhoo, I'd take a Wii U over an Ipad any day and I would never buy a child an Ipad. That's a ridiculously expensive "toy" that they're likely to break anyway.
