I'd rather have a pack-in game than have to pay full price for it and only get a few points. It's only sold separately here in Japan.
EDIT: And it'll be 3 weeks later.
I feel your pain fellow european, going to be painful on sunday watching the wii u threads light up.

This is a long shot, but:
1 can Wii games be played on the Gamepad?
2 can you use a button instead of waggle for Wii games? I'd love to try DKCR again if I didn't have to shake the controller to roll.

Actually because of the now standard trend bullshit of holding reviews back until releasedates this means it's easier to avoid launch games stinkers.
(I am lying to myself to make the wait more bearable. )
No and no.
There's a button on the Wii U menu that boots into the Wii OS. Basically, the backwards compatibility is IDENTICAL to what you get on the Wii in every single way. No new features.
Anyway. Install the homebrew channel on your wii if you want to play DKCR without waggle or with a classic controller.

I'm beginning to think I might pick up Black Ops 2 for the Wii U at launch if it proves to be as good a port as it looks. Though the business with the PS3 version is a tad concerning.

The manual implies you must use the Gamepad for Player 1.
Nintendo Voice Chat is the name of their Nintendo podcast.
damn it... for a moment i had some hopes regarding cross game chat

I played this at events, you can use the analogue sticks to look around with the scanner - the motion control is optional.
Because of the GamePad you just need a power outlet to play.

My house's Wii has save data for both me and my sister, I don't want to delete her save data during the data transfer. Do you think if I backup my sister's save data before the transfer, I copy them back afterwards?

Is this accurate? Wii support is in the form of a "dual boot"? What the hell?
Thank frig for that!

Yes. That's what I meant. I don't have a wireless router....see they're going for a little bit more than an adapter. Sony knows what's up. Ethernet slot. Nintendo still hasn't learned.
Yeah. The Wii functionality is completely sandboxed away from anything to do with the Wii U, including the old Wii Shop.
Weird that you don't get the extended warranty. Wii U to break exactly 12 months after you turn it on confirmed!
Why does it seem like people taking these sort of photos are using a Samsung flip phone from 2004? Maybe take the $450 you spent on a Nintendo console to buy a new cell phone.

They wont. I emailed Newegg about it and they said the games won't be shipping till Monday or Tuesday at the earliest.
What do people think about Darksiders 2? Considering picking that up in a few weeks. Enjoyed the first one well enough but to many kill rooms.
Was always curious if this was possible. There's nothing about the box itself that would show it's from another store?
I know what you're feeling, you want those games asap. If you have extra money, what you can do is keep your newegg order, buy the game you ordered at a store, the. Return the one you get from newegg. Otherwise, I think you should relax a little

I really like how my Club Nintendo is linked to my 3DS
since I'll download most of my games I am happy to get my coins smoothly on Sunday

That really makes no sense, phones from 2004 still work you know, so if they'd rather spend their money on a wii u I really don't understand why someone on a gaming forum would give them shit for it

Nothing other then the fact you'll probably set off their alarms due to the security tag not having been run over the machines to disable it.

Unless it has a different barcode (aka some special sku with a store specific bonus) you should be fine. I used to do this all the time when I lived overseas because I would order a game from amazon but the local store had got it on release day (sometimes they would never get the game I wanted or was really late so I always ordered my games). So, provided you have the extra cash, buy the game at your retailer of choice, then Return the newegg one when it comes in. You still get the savings and nothing of value is lost.
Don't know if it's been brought up before, but games that use the Miiverse in-game feedback system could give developers a shitload of valuable, detailed information about how gamers play their games. Anyone know if Nintendo is going to give devs access to the user comments outside of the game environment?
Don't know if already posted.... but....

How it's possible, when we are at less than two days from the launch, to write so many bullshits?
The only right info is the in the first two words "This sunday".....
I'm wondering, is it really ignorance and stupidity, or deliberate misinformation. Anyway good move not to sign this great piece of journalism.
EDIT - The news is no longer on the site..... but i've saved this piece of sh..... ehm journalism

God... I regret not pre-ordering, I finally today realized there is indeed hype around the console and its going to be sold out.
Went to EBGames and Walmart today, neither were taking anymore pre orders... Anyone have any advice on how to snag one launch day? I live in British Colombia Canada (so you don't name American only stores). I was thinking about checking Costco as I don't know many people who buy video games there.
Edit: Do stores sell their stock as 100% preorders, or could I go to best buy when it opens and they would have stock? Both employees I talked to at EBGames/Walmart had no idea.

Link not working and i cant find no sign of the article on the site, hopefully taken down already
Wow, glad you caught it. I don't see why they don't look at wikipedia before writing.
For people wondering it said that the Wii U was a handheld device used independently with your existing Wii.
I can't reveal the name, but a branded "next gen" game that some people thought couldn't run on Wii U seems to be in development for the system
Even if downscaling the engine may be employed, it shouldn't be to a point the developers behind wouldn't recognize what they envisioned for their game visually.
So it's a really promising news about the viability, the future proof aspect, of the system (along with other data we got like Shin'en comments on their NotEnoughShaders interview).
HYPE BEFORE LAUNCH GUYS !
Let me guess ... Crysis 3
If i guessed correct, they should get me free copy haha!

That honestly doesn't surprise me. It really doesn't. I remember some pretty screwed up articles before the launch of every console. Some press just honestly don't know a goddamn thing and they spew crap just to get some story out there without even checking their facts. It never fails to happen.
So I missed my flight back home this morning, and had to reschedule for tomorrow. Now I'm not sure if I'll be able to get in line for a midnight launch seeing as I should arrive home tomorrow at around 8 pm. Maybe I can get my brother to wait in line for me. I'm not even sure how long the line will be since I havent seen too many advertisements, then again I dont watch alot of tv.
I wonder how many systems best buy will have anyways, since on the website it says that the first 50 people get a free wiiu sinch sack

They should be fired for that.

I highly doubt it seeing as crysis 3 is already announced as ps360 and cryengine3 runs on wii u
Personally I'd assume he's talking about either watchdogs or star wars 1313 and I'd be pretty surprised if both didn't come to wii u
