Sounds like a lot has happened since E3

Oh but yes!
It's my usual cycle. I'll still follow closely, but my level won't be one of obsession.
Don't think so but there was an image showing a version number within Nintendo Land itself. So some people are thinking there could be updates added.

Man, I hate it when they develop a port using a different studio. It always is worse. Are there any historical examples where the port was done by a different studio and turned out better than the original release?
I am looking at Assassin's Creed 3 for Wii U done by Ubisoft Quebec instead of Montreal. Bad sign.

I have a system on order but there is literally nothing that interests me for this system. I feel like maybe I should get one now in case they're harder to come by later but I'm not certain if I should even bother... What to do, what to do.
Where's Jack?
Ah ok thanks. Will see how it goes I guess.

Though I mainly only lurk, my lurking has slowly switched from PoliGAF to here the past few days. Feels good to look forward to a new console instead of worrying about the polls being released.
Tablets are laptops now?
So it can change normal over the air TV stations as well?

Hey...I wasn't paying that much attention to notice it wasn't. =(
I twitch every time I see that word now. I'm scarred for life.
As I said earlier, that's exactly what I got. And like you, I have no clue what time they're opening because Sun AM doesn't really mean much without a number attached to it. Just give me a 10 or an 11. Oh well, I'll go early and if they're not open I'll grab something to eat.

Already playing mine. Hype! Walmart delivered my deluxe at 10:30am today in Chicago. Can't use any of the apps or go online yet until the update tmrw. Funny thing is the cardboard box clearly states "Do Not Sell Until 11/18/12". Lol. Weird enough though that they'd ship me the console but not Mario. Looks like that'll arrive Monday or Tuesday.
Highly doubt it would only be three feet
I can lurk in multiple places, but being crazy-ass busy has meant that it's probably best for me to actively participate in just one place at a time.

Ugh, also Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition is not being developed by Rocksteady but WB Montreal and Burbank. No thanks. I will pass on that too and just get the PS3 version.

HDMI cord is definitely NOT 6ft long. I just hooked mine up, and am not going back to measure it, but there is no way it's that long.

I've been on hold with TRU for like half an hour
I'm surprised by the currentthis lack of interest when it comes to this system. Up till now its just been me and another guy outside best buy waiting for the wii u. Hardly anyone seems to know what it is. Someone even asked their kid and they said "its like a gameboy" to which they responded with "oh, so it's like a nintendo."
Nintendo advertising for the Wii U just wasn't as amazing as the Wii would like to play ads.

I've gone from participating exclusively in PoliGAF to transitioning to a PoliGAF/NintenGAF combo.

listen to the mad man
Should have counter-offered for $300. Either the job of the person who is going to lose it or the fine they're going to pay under their distribution agreement far exceeds that.

Pretty good deal at TRU:
It's called off-tv play and the games that support it are in the OP. No, there is currently no labeling for it on the box.

Just thought of it. Since I'll have mine at midnight and most places aren't doing a midnight launch that means I'll hopefully be able to download the update tonight without the servers being jammed. If I'm lucky anyways.

That's incorrect - we do not know if it can support receivers or not. Nowhere has there been any information either way.
Yup, and it can change your TV's Input.
Let's hope this patch goes out soon. I expect everything to be ready, but man, I would have thought they would have put that out by now. It seems weird to wait until exactly 12 am to release the patch. Nintendo, it's okay if the press takes a peek at the eShop before the normal consumer, I won't be mad, just let me download NSMBU and Little Inferno right away.
Pretty good deal at TRU:
Oh neat. Any chance Best Buy will price match that (since I'll be there for the console anyway)? Also, any info yet on how the WiiU version of Sonic Racing turned out?

The Mass Effect 3 port is also done by an external studio. Blech. Darksiders 2 on the other hand looks to be ported by the original developer Vigil Games. That deserves my attention. The others can go to hell.
Awesome, guess that'll be my main remote for now.

Ok my TRU online order bros, just talked to a woman in customer service. According to her, status is not changed on preorder items until the day of release (she also mentioned to expect a shipping notice come Monday) so unless you're gotten a delay email from them I think we might be good.

Yeah, I know, it was supposed to be out Thursday. As long as I can go ahead and update when I get home I'm ok with that though.
Yep I think Darksiders2 will have the highest score, also it look like a good game
Pretty good deal at TRU:
Would love to take advantage of this. Sucks that the nearest ToysRUS is so far that I'd end up spending whatever I save on gas in the end. Making the drive for the deal worthless.
Need a lot of reasons to head in that direction.Edit:
Has anyone pick out what their next purchases are going to be if they're just getting one or two games tomorrow or having them arrive in the mail?
Next up for me is certainly going to be New Super Mario Bros U and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge. This might be gotten the last week of November. Should done with Black Ops 2's single player and gotten some decent leveling in there. Hopefully I've made some good progress with ZombiU. Then I won't buy another game until I've beatn Ninja Gaiden and Mario.
That's my primary goal going forward. Not purchasing new games until I've finished a brand new I've just bought. Not going to put Wii games under that though. No longer buying them but will slowly finish the ones I haven't as time goes on. One at a time. Been doing that with my PS3 and made a lot of process in recent weeks.
Thanks!

Nintendo's been doing midnight eShop launches for their full price digital 3DS games too (NSMB2, Layton 5, Paper Mario 3, etc). You can be sure that's exactly when the Wii U update goes up.

What time should I head out to Best Buy? They have more stock than reserves, so after the reserves are doled out it's first-come-first serve. They're doing a midnight release... I was thinking, 6...? Would that be too late? Too early?
Dude get a blanket a chair and go camp out right now if you don't have anything else to do..!

I called two hours ago and they said no one was lined up and they have stock well past the reservations. I guess I'll go at 4.
Hmm. If it can get into my DVR (not just change channels) it may be worth it. Having 2 controls out rather than 4 makes a world of difference.

Really hard to say. With the Wii I went to a midnight sale, the line looked like it was getting decently long around 11am so me and a friend got in line at noonish. But that store got 100 Wii's in stock, and the line didn't reach the limit until around 8pm. But with the Wii, I know some Best Buys only got like 20 units in stock on launch day, and their lines were much longer than that.
From a strictly monetary standpoint, the Target deal is better. Two games at TRU will be 96 dollars. Three games from Target will be 120. So a third game will only be 24 more dollars before tax. It's up to you guys.
does the target deal start tomorrow?
