Well, I am officially on the GameStop "waiting list" for the WiiU. The guy at the store was vague as all hell about the entire process. I go in, sign up for the list, and then he proceeds to tell me I will be called/e-mailed when my console is available. As I'm walking out the door, he screams, "Oh! But you're not guaranteed a console! Don't get too excited!" So yeah, I have no idea if I accomplished a thing by signing up for that. On another note, did anyone else pick up the Kirby anniversary collection? I just got it and it seems like a pretty neat little package thus far. MUCH better than their previous Mario collection, in my opinion. You mean the Super Mario All-Stars ROM on a CD collection? Ha. Yeah, it was a pretty sad thing.

I just got a call from my local GameStop letting me know that I was still on the waiting list for a WiiU.
GameStop, everybody! Always on the ball.

So I went to the Nintendo World Store today to get some stuff via StreetPass, and I found out that they were having a showcase there for the WiiU for the media today and tomorrow. According to Kevin Cassidy of GoNintendo, who I actually met after the event ended, the showcase will be open to the public on Thursday.

After this Sunday, Club Nintendo will have a different 3DS game to offer for members to plunk down their points besides 3D Classics: Urban Champion.
I'd say... about time.

I first came across this store on my way to the rockerfeller center in NYC last christmas. And i must say it truly is an awesome store. Even if people arent big fans of nintendo it's still worth at least 30-40 minutes to just walk through. I loved seeing all the special versions of the consoles including the Gameboy that survived a grenade in the gulf war and was still playable. Im very interested in seeing all those Wii Kiosks turn into Wii U's so i can try it.

Oh......oh dear. This is the Wii U's first ever TV ad. It is actually from Britain, and well....uh....just watch......
That's.......that's not a good ad at all.
Seriously, "schpew, schpew"? Really, Nintendo?

I bought Code of Princess to the 3DS,the game is fun,but it really could have been better.the online was promising,but the lag is just f***ing awful,and ruins the whole online.
I am disappointed you must go chapter by chapter,each phase a chapter,it feels so short.Tough it seens like it is starting to get longer,it's not like the classic ones the game was based,where you keep going,with a loading page.
The game is fun,but there is a lot of things lacking.Kinda like Assassins Creed(The first one) the idea is great,the basics of the game are really good,but there is big flaws.

So 2 things:
1. Nintendo World the other day. Yes, they have the WiiU there and I got to play Rayman Legends on it. It was the only game demo they had. No pictures were allowed to be taken, so I can't provide any pics. Also, They have a thing set up with a whole bunch of Pokemon stuff, like cards, games, toys and so forth. Pretty awesome.
2. I recently got Xenoblade. Even though I'm only a few hours in, it is one of the best RPGs I've ever played.

Alright, I am requesting some assistance. I have NSMB 2 and I want to download the new levels. I want the free and the paid ones but I can't find them anywhere. When I look up on the official site, it says to turn on street pass and have internet turned on. I have both and I never get the 'shop' button to come up. I also looked into the Nintendo shop and still nothing....

I was at Walmart earlier, and they had plenty of Wii U's in stock. Both deluxe and standard. Not sure if that means the demand isn't what it was for the Wii, or if Nintendo is actually making sure these things are available.

I can't recommend the classic levels enough for anybody reading this, they're free and better than almost everything in the disappointing main game. Also VVVVV is an awesome game. Finally anybody in the UK (and probably most of Europe) can get a free game if they register a XL, not crappy ones either but Mario 3D Land or Layton.

That's what their website said but still never pops up... Idk I guess Nintendo doesn't want me to pay them money lol. I thought about stopping by gamestop to see if that StreetPass or whatever it is, works to show it....

Here's my "deal" about a Wii or a Wii U:
I'd like to get the system to be sure. But my main motivating factor would be the games, specifically Zelda and Mario. Now, Mario is not a HUGE deal as most of the games are available through the Virtual Console at this point, so no big shakes. Zelda is another matter - only the NES, SNES and N74 games are available. Virtually none of the handhelds and Nintendo is really dragging their feet in getting the GC games available for the Wii.
Plus, I was doing the math in my head and, if I got a Wii U, I think I'd still need a Remote and a Nunchuck for Skyward Sword. That's about another hundred on top of the four without the game even being bought yet.
Bottom line, to me, cool as the Wii and Wii U look, I just don't see the value until more of the games that I want to play are made available. YMMV.

Well I know for sure I'm getting a deluxe Wii U for Xmas. I asked for it simply because I couldn't think of anything else. I'm not getting any games with it besides Nintendo Land of course. So I went ahead and ordered a couple games. And god damn! Are the pickings pretty slim on the available Wii U games at the moment or what?
Games I already own or have played. Madden 13 Mass Effect 3 Batman Arkham City FIFA 13 Assassin's Creed 3
Games I have no interest in. Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 - I'm not a FPS fan ZombiU - I'm tired of zombie games
So I ended up getting New Super Mario Bros. U, I figure thats a pretty safe bet. And also Darksiders 2, since I haven't played it yet, and it has DLC included. I've always thought you should at least have 3 games when you get a new console. Then again I've rarely gotten any consoles so close to launch.
