Will we have a thread to add one another or should we just do it here?

For what it's worth, mine is: Downhome

Add me when you want, and I'll accept whoever and I'll be adding names as they are posted either in this thread or another on, whatever we decide to do.

Transferring me and my wife's Mii's over was incredibly simple btw. I'll try the complete Wii to Wii U transfer soon.

I really want ZombiU but unless a deal pops up before now and Christmas I'll probably just use that money to get Wiimotes for the family instead.

Sooooo.... has anyone seen ZombieU in Toys R Us? I was planning on doing the B1G1 40% off with ZombieU and something else, but I can't find ZombieU on their website. So that makes the something else rather irrelevant.

I think I'm gonna wait for a good deal on this system or at least some AAA games

That's what I'm doing. Wait for a price drop or some enticing game bundle.

Why shouldn't I listen to a consensus of a large number of reviews, all telling me to not waste my time with a game? Reviews are like a tool, you can use them or not, but in order for them to be most effective, you have to know how to use them.

I wasn't seriously saying what I quoted was wise.

Damn it, chuck! Who the hell do you think you are?!

Stupid question but do you even need to connect to the internet and update the system? Can i just hook it up and play a game right out of the box?

My Wii to Wii U transfer is almost completed, finally.

I love watching the little Pikmin working hard though. Load up in a rocket ship on the Wii then land safe and sound on my Wii U. It's cute, and the music has almost put me to sleep.

I'm kinda shocked both versions are still in stock in my area. I expected to see them on the shelf before Christmas but not today.

Waiting on both a drop and game bundle. I'm looking for the deluxe/pro controller/Zelda/Mario for $300. Probably AT LEAST 2 years away, but no worries.

They can patch games now? Our little Nintendo is growing up!

Has anyone had any issues connecting to their wifi? I remember having the same problem with my Wii when attempting to connect. :(

All 3 of my games -- Nintendoland, NSMBU, and ZombiU -- required software updates.

It seemed to go smoothly for me. I had a lot of missed/misregistered taps when typing in my code, though...I blame the touchscreen since I don't make mistakes.

Wait, so the transfer from Wii to Wii U is a copy and not a "goodbye Wii you are erased" type deal right? So you can keep the stuff on both consoles?

anyone watching giantbombs wiiu stuff?

http://www.twitch.tv/giantbomb

the rage is so funny..

Nintendo Network ID's are bound to one console...they are unable to move their ID's...it is not an option, so they all signed into the review Wii U and now can't take their ID's home...lol..

Supermallet 11-18-12 06:11 PM

re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo
 
Why would they bind the ID to a single console? Nintendo is so one-step forward, ten steps back.

From what I've read, it erases the original Wii console.

Yeah, pretty much everything is deleted off of the Wii in the process.

Tru has a deal if you buy two games. And yes they have zombiu.

wow, that sucks!


i like Giant Bomb. I have always valued Jeff G's opinion on games ever since he was at gamespot. he thinks like i do on most games.

Still not sure if I should buy this yet. I still haven't played Skyward Sword, and I'm enticed by the idea that Gamecube games may show up in the Virtual Store at some point. I'd really like to play Wind Waker also, the only two Zelda games I've never played nor beat. Also, any of the Mario stuff interests me. But, I've never seen any 3rd party games I've given a shit about since SNES. Not sure what to do. I've also had a DS and 3DS and loved them both.

Except I certainly don't see it online.
