I blame the people who buy nintendo consoles, who for some reason just don't bother buying non-nintendo games. I can understand with old ports which everyone has played on other system but games like splinter cell (a good game) sold like 10,000 units globally on wii u.

I personally, have 11 games (excluding eshop) on wii u of which 4 are nintendo and rest are third party - am i the only one?

Just pre-ordered the Wii U Fit Meter for £19.99 from them.

Got mine from shopto in UK for £21. Amazon is selling it for £23.99 which is £1 cheaper than ps3 and 360 versions.
I finished it on PC when it came out.

Shame the limited edition is exclusive to Game - they are charging £60 ($92!). Probably will get it from the eshop unless a better deal from shopto or amazon.

This. We need more rts on wii u, especially after pikmin 3's excellent effort.

Well it would've been good to know a few weeks ago but anyway my copy is on its way.

Can we make it number 1 in the UK charts?

Too late! Already ordered with with shopto for £33, wonderful 101 is around same price.

come on just release ....

it would be good if they showed actual footage of this version.

Actually BOP2 has this for online multiplayer, where one player has tv the other the gamepad

I have been using the wii u browser lately and I have to say it's excellent. Much better than tablet.

You watch a video (e.g. youtube) on the TV and browse the internet on the tablet at the same time and have lots of tabs in the browser. All the while the game is paused in the background. Go to eshop, miiverse and then back to browsing and then back to the game.

Come on what other console can do that with so much ease! Just bloody advertise the damn thing Nintendo.

On another note freinds and I played some 5 player multiplayer games on nintendoland and new super mario bros. (and some tekken) for over 5/6 hours straight. lots of fun.

I would encourage every to have a go to understand it as without using the wii u it's difficult to understand the value of the console.

Ok thanks.

How is pro controller with driving games since it doesn't have triggers?

cheers entered. my little brother really wants this game.

For more screenshots head over to www.wmdportal.com

Just pre-ordered this. It was between this or Metal Gear Revengeance on ps3, decided to get MGS at a later point.

NFS Wii U is £45 on Origins for pre-order...

I just went into Game shop on the high street and they are selling BLOPS 2 for £60! on Wii U. No wonder no one is buying wii u games here in the UK.

I am part of the WMD (world of mass development - wmdportal) and have seen this game progress on the PC and it's great already and at alpha stage. On my PC it runs around 35-50 fps with max settings with a single GTX460 1gb (and over 60-70fps fps when running two graphics cards in SLI) at this early stage.

It looks incredible already and will be interesting how this looks on Wii U especially how they are going to get around the fact no analogue triggers (NFS Most Wanted should give a good idea albeit different end of the spectrum).

It doesn't help when G@me is selling games for £60 when the equivalent game on the other consoles are £35-40.

Furthermore, releasing games which people have bought on pc,ps3 or xbox at much higher prices don't help. I think the people (inc myself) who have purchased wii u early on will likely have another console/pc and would have played these some time ago.

Nintendo needs to:
1. lower the price to £199/250 for the respective models;
2. better marketing (i don't think I have seen any marketing in fact); and
3. more exclusive/interesting games like lego ciity undercover, nfsmw. They need to work with external teams to ensure they have capacity to produce enough software.

BTW mii verse is great but it needs to be more in your face and not hidden away e.g. on start up have your feeds come up on the tv instead of those miis surrounding various titles people are playing (it's good but need to have choice_).
