Newegg has begun selling the Wii U console, but only in bundles.

Thank you; I appreciate the sympathy! …And have a potentially stupid question that I hope someone can field. Which ‘points card’ should one get for Wii-U games? I know the Wii (original) and 3DS share a prepaid points card, e.g. you buy one and then pick which system you’re applying the funds to… is there a different card for the Wii-U, or do you buy the same card you would for Wii/3DS and just extend its use to the Wii-U instead?
Found a few downloadable games listed I want, so planning to get such a card soon.
For the love of god…DON’T UNPLUG YOUR WII U DURING THE 5 GB UPDATE

I doubt any of us on here would do that in the first place…BUT just in case.
My biggest fear in gaming! Suffering a power outage in the middle of saving or firmware update.
So the Walmart layaway was a success. I ended up waiting 30 minutes in line with the people who were waiting on the 13 free consoles. Found out I didn’t even need to wait THAT long since they let the 3 preorder folks (including myself) cut everyone.
Oh also - Unplugging WiiU as we speak (during update).
IGN has a feature on the friend system
They also did an interview with the makers of Trine 2 on Wii U’s eShop and how things work with it
They pretty much took Steam’s playbook and applied it here. Developers are free to put whatever price they desire on their stuff and being able to update and patch their stuff will also be free for them.
HEAR HEAR NINTENDO! Set the example for the future!
I forgot to respond to this. There are Wii U cards at work but I’m unsure if they are universal for 3DS/Wii or not. I’d just buy the Wii U cards until this knowledge is known.
Good to know. Thank you!
Edit: Wait, someone actually bricked their…? I just… I hope they were Mr. Burns or someone else suitably old enough that being this out of touch with technology is justified. Yikes.
So i might as well ask this since ill have to run into this sooner or later.
My wii is soft hacked (has homebrew channel on it so i could play TvC when it came out).
Havent touched the wii since haha. I need to go online to transfer all my wii stuff to wiiu.
will going online to get the newest official firmware brick my system? For anyone with a hacked wii, post what you plan to do if your upgrading to a wiiu.
That is huge news. It will make Sony and MS look ridiculous by comparison, so they will have to eliminate the patch fees.
My brother decided to pick up a WiiU today, so I’ll finally get my hands on it in a few hours. This also means I could potentially make games on it since I use Unity 3D and it will let you create WiiU games.
holy gracomole thid huge. I depending how sony and microsoft responce, nintendo may be getting lot more attention from game developers

As most of you know…I’m not big on graphics but seeing this Batman comparison vid on GT made me WTF!? at 1:11
I’m not sure if I can condone anyone buying this version of the game even if you haven’t already played Batman. I know it’s their first game on this console and they just want to have something on it but they should probably patch texture errors like that. They probably won’t though.
There’s a chance that it could brick it. I’ll keep an eye out on Gaf and see if this comes up over there.
Well…off to go pick mine up!
Gloried iphone games u.
Bah, couldn’t get one. Didn’t help that the store was low in stock. Living in the sticks sucks.
Do not watch GT’s review on NSMBWU…they sort of spoil something that I wish I had found out later. This game definitely takes a lot after World though.
A mandatory 5BG patch is fucking stupid and just means they put out an incomplete system.
a couple of Sterling reviews.
ZombiU’s reviews have been all over the place. I’m surprised Sterling was one of the people to call it good lol.
