If you're talking exclusives... There is also a new Warriors Orochi game.
Otherwise you'll have to "settle" for multiplats like AC3

I think you might be misunderstanding what the sensor bar is. The name "sensor bar" is actually a misnomer as it does not actually sense anything and does not communicate with the Wii or Wii U in any way. All the cable does is supply it with power. The sensor bar itself is merely two IR lights. The Wiimote itself does all the sensing. It looks for IR light sources and uses that to orient itself in 3D space, which is why you place the sensor bar near your television to kind trick your Wiimote into knowing where your tv is.
All that is a long way of saying, there are wireless sensor bar solutions out there. They run on batteries, and I would assume work just as well as the real thing.
Or you could just use two candles...

Like others have said the sensor bar are just two IR lights and the Wiimotes handles all the tracking of those lights. I'd say your best bet is just buying a wireless sensor bar that runs off batteries so you can put it wherever you need it at for your setup.
Depending on how far away your systems are from where you're sitting (and how many walls there are between them) you might run into some signal problems when it comes to the GamePad's video signal.

My Gamestop doesn't open until FUCKING NOON TOMORROW
Throw in AC3 or BLOPS 2; think of the online multiplayer on the gamepad (almost) anywhere in your house - your bed, the toilet, the kitchen, the living room when everyone's watching tv. The possibilities!

This is what I'm hoping for. I may swing by later today to pay it off and see if a line has formed but I really really don't want to wait this time around.

Is that normal for a Sunday?My Gamestop doesn't open until FUCKING NOON TOMORROW

It could just be me, but I've never known a Gamestop to not open until noon. 11am, absolutely, but not 12.
What really sucks here is that it's right next to Wal-Mart, where I work, and I have to be at work at 4, and it's about a 20 minute drive. So I would be driving all the way out there at 12, getting the system, driving all the way back (so about 40 minutes total just for the Wii trip), messing around with the console for a couple of hours, and getting ready for work and to drive all the way back.
But, I know I should simply count myself fortunate to be getting one tomorrow, let alone one at all.

Picked up from best buy. I checked my account online and the order was flagged as ready for pick up today. I also received an email that said the order would be ready for pickup on Sunday. I even called the store and the guy said I could pick it up today. Obviously I didn't mention its proper release date.

Good! You can find out if there is a 'recover gamertag' function or something to utilize Wii U accounts on other Wii Us and be a hero.

So much jelly. I really hope I can just walk into a Walmart at 12 am and find one tonight. If not I'll try again at Target, Best Buy and KMart in the morning....if that doesn't work I'll wait until I'm I'm top of gamestop's waiting list I live smack dab in the Bible belt so I'm hoping Wii U is the last thing on people's minds Sunday morning haha.
I live smack dab in the Bible belt so I'm hoping Wii U is the last thing on people's minds Sunday morning haha.The patch probably isn't even out yet.
So is it safe to say you guys all of the Wii U Hyper ****ing fever madness ?
Symptoms of it include every day feeling like christmas eve when you were a kid , the inability to just buy 1 or 2 games so you end up with a half dozen launch titles instead and finally you can't stop talking about buying one.
I'm currently trying to convince myself that I don't need more then mario and ninja gaiden , especially since the deluxe console comes with nintendo land... but now I find myself looking at the other games and thinking ... maybe this one or that one.
ARGH.
Why doesn't Nintendo launch these things on a saturday ?

warriors orochi 3 hyper is the same game as its ps3/360 counterpart except with the addition of duel mode, and the 4 new characters added (2 from the japanese psp release and 2 for the wii U exclusive...ness) the only thing unknown at the moment is if dlc will ever come out for it as it does not have the dlc the ps3/360 has.

Some people here received there's yesterday as well. Wouldn't surprise me if there's a lot in the wild now.
All online and deep OS functions will be added in a day one patch to prevent the press and lucky bastards from leaking the whole shebang.
