Was just in GameStop and the mgr asked me if I wanted a Wii U. Told him I already snagged one. No doubt in my mind that there is not a shortage. That's the 3rd store I've walked into and could have grabbed one

Nope. At GS right now and they have 8 in. They said Nintendo will keep them coming based on how many are sold at each location.

I have no self-control.

How is Black Ops? Mainly campaign and zombie mode.
Trying to decide between that and ZombieU

Do you guys know if fifa will have any cool features on the Wii u? I doubt it but it would be nice.

[ScoobySnax]

I'll be on in a couple hours. As you guys mentioned, this thing takes forever to update lol.

Re: Wii U Discussion

I was at BBY today picking up Expendables 2 and they had about 5 Deluxes and 4 Basic. They were also fairly well socked up with those $199 PS3's, 360's and Vita's. It should be a rather interesting Xmas sales wise. Plus a lot of places are selling Wii's for $89 on BF so there could be some sales there too.

My BBY must really suck. They haven't had a single unit in stock since about an hour after they opened on Sunday.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Ok, I had a little time with the Wii U this afternoon. First off, it's not a lie when people tell you the initial update takes a loooooong time. I have a fast connection, and it still took over an hour to update.

The menu is set up similar to the Wii interface. Of course, there are new apps, most notably Miiverse which is really cool. Each game has a chat environment, where you can post messages, make drawings, etc. The real source for Miiverse is should you get stuck in a game, you can post a question and you'll get a respone from the community. You don't have to quit your game. It brings you right back to where you left off. Really a nice addition.

I rented a couple games (Madden 13 and Zombie U). I have only played Madden 13 thus far. There's good and bad with this game. It would be far and away my favorite Madden 13 on any console if the frame rate was smooth. Unfortunately, is it not and really ruins the experience. However, the added value of the gamepad is fantastic. It's so easy to audible, change your hot routes, etc. It makes picking plays less of a chore, especially audibling. I never had any time on the 360 version. Defense is just as streamlined with the gameplay. Graphically, it's below par compared to the 360 and PS3. Cut scenes look great, but actual gameplay looks low res. Btw, the game looks stellar when looking at the gamepad. Really impressed. Of course, the infinity engine does not exist in this version....not a big deal actually. All in all, I wouldn't purchase this game, but can see the appeal if they iron the frame rate out.

I haven't had a chance to play Nintendoland yet, but my son enjoyed it quite a bit. It's deeper than Wii Sports (as a pack in game) which is nice. Of the three games he's played (I think there are around 12 total), they were all very fun. Now, as I say this, I do compare it to my iPad. It seems like all these games could essentially be played on the iPad, but I'm unsure if they'd be as fun. It's early yet, but I can see this game get a lot of play time, while Wii Sports was generally pulled out only when friends or family was over. There's enough fun to be had with these mini games as a single player.

The gamepad is more solid than I initially thought while playing at Best Buy. It's really pretty cool, although I think I'd rather play with the Pro controller or Wiimote if given the choice. The reason being it just feels a little strange with my hands spread so far apart. With that said, the gamepad could be really useful for many games, especially Madden.

Gonna play Zombie U this evening. It's not necessarily my favorite genre, but I'll give it a go. Interested to see how the graphics and gameplay is nonetheless.

At this point, if good first party Nintendo games come out, this system will have legs. From all that I have read, the CPU is pretty weak supposedly. That's disappointing. I don't see people choosing to play their third party games on the Wii U when you can play them on the 360 or PS3. But I stated in a previous post, I'm more interested in the Mario, Zelda, etc. games moreso now than I ever have. Plus, the virtual console will be very nice as well. It's really a "different strokes for different folks" kind of system. With the inclusion of HD, it feels fresh and more advanced than ever.

I took Tomba's advice about changing to 720p for the time being, and it's helped NBA. Does it help Madden?

Re: Wii U Discussion

Oooohhh my Nintendoland Plaza is alive! Love just walking around looking for the different Miis. Mindless fun.

[ScoobySnax]

So there's no option to download demos from the e-shop?
