Who's getting one?
Really glad the release here will be on a Friday - 30th of November, who is getting one on release date or has already?

Re: Who's getting one?
I'll wait until it's cheaper and/or Homebrew is possible. Do you know if there is a media center included?

Re: Who's getting one?
I don't believe there's a media center included - I'll get one on release date but I'll mostly just use it for playing games for a long time until homebrew comes along.

Re: Who's getting one?
....didn't realize it was already release day here
Hmmm, I don't even feel that "rush" to get one either, or that feeling like I'm missing out..

Re: Who's getting one?
I was really tempted but now I think that I will wait until the price comes down a bit or pick up a preowned one sometime next year.
Call me a tight git but I just can't justify spending that much on a console that will still be in the shops for years to come at a lower price. Besides I still have a few Gamecube and Wii games that I never got around to playing or would like to play through a second time.

Re: Who's getting one?
it's weird. it's so close to a release or is already released and you don't hear anything about it...dunno.
i never liked the wii (i've tried several times, i had 3 over the years) so i'm not going to buy one

Re: Who's getting one?
Yup!
i have my preorder paid for, and i'll be picking it up on the midnight launch along with scribblenauts (i have the other launch titles on xbox or ps3, and the other exclusive titles like zombie-u dont interest me)
suffice to say, i CANT wait for 2013 (rumours are that zelda-u will be released in Q2

Re: Who's getting one?
true that, same website here, too.
BUT when i look back at the wii or gc or other console's launch it was always waaaaaay bigger set up in the media.

Re: Who's getting one?
This will be the first time I'm getting a launch console
Interested in Pikmin 3 and New Mario Bros WiiU

Re: Who's getting one?
I'm glad there isn't an insane amount on release, just enough to keep me busy these days - New Super Mario bros U + Nintendo Land should be plenty until the new year.

Re: Who's getting one?
Me neither: funny cause I decided months ago that I want one, but it seems like it doesn't matter when I get it. Haven't noticed any buzz yet in Europe.megalomaniac wrote:....didn't realize it was already release day here

How come come Japanese are getting it last? (Wikipedia says 8 Dec).
Re: Who's getting one?
I never buy game consoles at launch. I don't have much disposable income, always have stuff left to play on game consoles that I already own, and if I pick one up later it's cheaper. Lately it doesn't pay to be an early adopter, either, as there are often technical issues that get ironed out later.
It also doesn't help that there is never a game I have to have. I'll get a WiiU when Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is out as I love the first one.

Re: Who's getting one?
on a whim I decided to see if the Wii U would upscale my original wii games, I found this:
http://au.ign.com/wikis/wii-u/Frequentl ... _Questions
I hope IGN is wrong on this one, and I think it's pathetic if it's true; if the dolphin emulator can do 1080p I honestly do not think Nintendo has a excuse.
I mean honestly, we constantly have it drilled into us not to pirate but using the pirated alternative will get you a better experience.

It was already confirmed by Nintendo that wii software would remain untouched many months ago.
If you know one thing about Nintendo - they like to sell the same game over and over.
So rather than have a upscale feature that makes no coin I fully expect HD remakes of certain GC and wii titles through the eshop and personally I do not begrudge them that sales avenue.
Course maybe upscaling will be added with HomeBrew
You do not have to use pirate images with Dolphin - thats your choice.
Besides Dolphin does not upscale. The game resolution is redrawn at base.

Re: Who's getting one?
Keep in mind that a launch WiiU could have a security flaw that will be fixed in later revisions just like early Wiis with their boot1 trucha bug (which made bootmii boot2 possible).

Re: Who's getting one?
@wii_HD: I want to go on record to say I never pirate my games. I use a USB loader on my wii for the faster load sppeds and because I don't have to get up to change games but I own disc copies of all the games I have backups of.
My point was more so that I imagine if you give a user more reason to use a version of your machine that makes pirating easier you shouldn't be surprised when they do. The whole Valve thing of instead of worrying about stopping pirates from copying your games, finding ways to make the legit copy a better experience.

HD is overrated. I for one prefer to have the original experience as is expected with backwards compatibility.Diminuendo wrote:on a whim I decided to see if the Wii U would upscale my original wii games, I found this:

Re: Who's getting one?
Again I think I'll be one of those to wait it out, the Wii and even my Gamecube still has quite a few games left to do or go back to... Zelda, Starfox, Paper Mario need I go on.
Yet theres one thing I don't get about the Wii U, why would you want to buy a console and a portable together. Over next yr see if game library gets better or if I can't wait get a PS3 they're only $120 atm cRAzy

Rather an extreme response. I prefer the 'original' experience - that's why I play GBC games on GBC. The overpowered hi-res HW is for new games.pr0ton wrote:You are still using a CRT I hope. Otherwise a crap argument, you can always step down if you want the rubbish 'original' experience...
