Thanks for the answer.. now im waiting authorization from my wife, hehehehehehehehe... she knows that i was planning to get one here in vzla.. but im trying to sell her the idea that getting it from USA its going to be a lot cheaper...

Another silly question, where i can see the expected shipping date?

when you go to place the order it should have you choose shipping speed options

Oh shit!

Just got a confirmation email for Scribblenauts... at $50, not $40. Did not expect that, quite upset now. Oh well... no turning back now.

Guess my Rayman $40 preorder will convert to $50 when that ships too.

I pre-ordered my Wii U 3 days after the pre-orders went live at Gamestop. Paid it in full last week-end.

If I don't get my Wii U on day one, heads will roll. *Shake fist*

I pre-ordered mine 10 minutes after it was announced. I better get my Wii U or I will kill all..... ok not kill just hurt.

I choose next day... this means that if i pay today they should ship it tomorrow? right?

strange. I received the email from NewEgg about BLOPS 2 being shipped in the next 24 to 48 hours, but when I log in, I don't see it. The sales order# it provided shows "no search results" on NewEgg's site.

Did my BLOPS 2 order just get ... cancelled, somehow?

Anyone else with NewEgg weirdness? I dropped Firefox, cleared cache and checked another browser, but same thing.

EDIT - resolved. Apparently, orders drop into a netherrealm before they are ready to ship. Yay. I think I need to relax, step away from this launch excitement and watch some TV for a bit ...

What kind of Nintendo fan are you?

Waiting three days to preorder like that...I've never heard of such madness.

Maybe it's because I'm in WiiU hype mode, but IGN linking to a GTAV story on the WiiU page made me think they might know something we don't.
 
Gamestop order shipment confirmed!

Is it true that the triggers for the Wii U gamepad and classic controller are digital and not analog and lacking resistance (although that's a given I guess since they'd need to be analog)?

I also received a shipment confirmation email from gamestop (preordered 9/13). I picked standard shipping so it won't get here till Wednesday.

My shipment from GS still doesn't have a tracking label and my card still hasn't been charged. I hope there isn't a problem.

Wii U has Nintendo characters!

Any idea if the game (scribblenauts) is 1080p?

Getting mario, but this and possibly BO2 are the only other games I'm really considering right now. I skipped the wii so I can just pick up DKCR instead of getting a game like AC 3 that will undoubtedly be better on PC. I suck with kb/m in fps games so bo 2 is an option depending on the wiiu versions frame rate and resolution.

WiiU version is 1080p, yes

Sucks at viral marketing
My store has slowly been getting everything in over the past few days. We received the first shipment of hardware yesterday and so today I found an excuse to start going through the boxes. Here's a couple things that stood to me, either because I didn't know or I remember hearing others asking about it:

-Different from the pic above, all of the Premium Bundles came with a big gold sticker about the Digital rewards program.

-The Epic Mickey 2 claims to support two Wii Remotes + Nunchucks.

-Nintendoland has an emblem for the Wii Remote+ and Wii Motion+ attachment.

-The games below are list in the OP as "launch window," but our system is showing inventory already on-hand or coming. Not that one cares, but these should also be launch titles:
  • 007 Legends
  • Cabela's Dangerous Hunts 2013
  • Family Party: 30 Great Games Obstacle Arcade
  • Mass Effect 3
  • JEOPARDY!
  • Wheel of Fortune
  • Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth

Yeah, it's confirmed to be 1080p native.

Nah, just for this question.

GTA V is only confirmed for Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3. Why not the PC, Wii U and so on?

Everything else is up for consideration. That's all I can give you. The main thing is we are not... we are a third-party publisher. We're not Nintendo, we're not Sony, we're not Microsoft. We love all of them in different ways. But we can do what we want wherever there's the appropriate business opportunity and chance to find a market. If that's on Apple we put something on Apple. Wherever it might be. I think that's the fun in what we do. We see ourselves as a content company that uses technology. We don't make it; we use it to make the most fun stuff.

It's linked on the PC page too.

Oh. That's kinda gross.

Guess I wont be buying any racing games or games involving driving, then.

I'm with you, racing games are key for analog. Eh. Minor inconvenience, really. That's the beautiy of multiplatforms, you can choose the optimal format for the style of games you like to play.

Payment confirmed for Sonic, now I just need Scribblenauts confirmation and I'm good to go.

NewEgg.com is saying that Scribblenauts is still $40, but the email said $50... really hope it's the former!

I am of two minds about it. I think it is better for me. I don't play a lot of racing games. What I don't like about the analog trigger is that they introduce input lag, but I can see the problem with racing games and acceleration.
