Yeah they should be.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
So IGN think's that the Wii U version of Batman is the best version and Darksiders 2 is the same(with the DLC included) except for the fact that the reviewer experienced a glitch when he started the game the first time. I'm not planning on picking up either of those games but that's good news for anyone who wants to.
Also, I think its funny that The Verge marked the console down for things we knew were going to be in the day one patch.

Walked in Walmart and got one. Some dude said he was waiting there since 8...
Netflix is already live on the Wii U from the streams.
Hahahahaaha
Do you know how many they got in?

Triforce was first in line again. The world can sleep easy tonight.
box looks so small in that pic compared to what I thought it was

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.
Just got back from checking the local big box stores (Target, WalMart, TRU). No luck. Didn't even see crowds outside any, but there might of been people waiting inside (too shy to knock on doors).

First I've heard of this, is it true? Do you have to copy games from the external drive to the console to play them? Are we stuck with a refrigerator once more??

Would anyone be so kind as to measure the dimensions of the box?
I need to know if it's possible to bike with this in a backpack.

Back in my day we avoided getting stuck. Now, if you get stuck its the game maker's fault that you are an idiot.
Nope, it's not true. The Verge got it wrong.

Just got back from my local Meijer, which was the only place in town that was selling them on a first come first serve basis. I got stuck with a basic model but I'm fine with it, especially considering I just walked in at 11:30 and got in line.
The first guy in line (only 6 spots ahead of me) had been there since at least 4pm, and his credit card was denied, as well as his check. He walked out empty handed. That. Sucks.

No idea. Was hardly a crowd by the time I got there at 12:20 (literally no one)
This doesn't match up at all with what Nintendo has said. Games can be run from an external HD. They can't be run from an SD card.
No, and it would be impossible to do on the Basic unit because of how much is set aside for the built-in software. Verge is completely pulling that out of its ass.

Here's the eShop if anyone wants to take a look.

I can't *believe* these lazy developers keep making file sizes so damn large. Btw, how does technology work?
Eh screw it, I'll go hit the close-by Walmart.
If there's a short line, I'll try snagging one. Otherwise I have a GS pre-order for the morning.
I'll report back by 12:15 or so (in about 30 minutes from the time of this post).
Best, and good luck everyone!

Let's be fair here, unless you're thinking of Sierra graphic adventures most games avoided letting simple mistakes make a game unbeatable. I'm assuming that's the case here, if you can exit the room/area and it resets then that's a kind of silly complaint.
So is The Verge's review one that should be ignored? It seemed substantial, but at the same time came off as being ill-informed of the things to come. Even though it was mentioned, it was like the reviewer wasn't aware that the day 1 patch would've rectified exactly what he was complaining about.

I don't know if I should double-dip on some Black Ops II action. Hopefully someone posts if it's fully playable from the tablet before I head out in the morning. Would love to be able to play some BO2 MP in while chilling in our loft instead of my office.
Ohhh man thats so bad lol. I pick mine up tomorrow, hope no one sells mine :O
They have had it for at least a week, look at other tech/game sites. Not defending their review at all, just stating that they have had time to review the hardware.

Anyone in the Edmonton area? Where are you picking your Wii U up?

Pretty sure we know for a fact that it is playable on the gamepad. The question for me is how it compares otherwise to the other versions.

fuckin' called it, man
THERE we go
You likely did. Walmart doesn't have its shit together when it comes to Wii U preorders. The employees just don't know shit about anything.

Heading to Southgate EB tomorrow to grab mine. They called me earlier today to get me to come in an hour before the store opens to grab it. They told me they'd be expecting a pretty big line of people who didn't pre-order.

It's interesting cuz I talked to one of the Target workers who had pre-ordered from her store as well and she said they got like 40 in and didn't fill all of their pre-orders. She said it would probably be available tomorrow morning for just walking in and getting.
I'm at the point where I'm more inclined to trust NintendoGAF's opinion on a game more than any gaming site's review. Especially if it's one of the larger gaming sites.
Either that, or I watch some extended "Let's Play" videos on YouTube and then make my mind up. That's usually for games that have been out for a bit of time.
