I'm fine with this because hard drives are cheap and I can get it when I'm ready. I still prefer to buy the discs and not exclusively download so space won't be too much of an issue initially.

I do not understand why people say that the system is expensive though. 360 and PS3 debuted at higher price tags. Heck, the Vita is the same price and its just a hand held. Also look up the cost of the older systems with inflation. You are paying the same for a Wii U as you did for an NES. I'm happy with most of Nintendo' decisions with this. Not all, but most.

Keep in mind it loses the motion but it does gain the ability to draw on the gamepad, similar to the 3DS version. That will bring some unique gameplay on board. I'm looking forward to it and want to support 3rd party Wii U games.

Extremely happy about this. I wanted to get this for a Nintendo online community vs. 360 or PS3 because I feel there will be less belligerent kids playing. The online community for those systems are atrocious as far as people are concerned......

Good line up. I sadfaced a bit at no Rayman but I think it comes out early December. Now I know what I can buy so I can start selling blood and my first born to afford them all.
