Just played the WiiU at my local GameStop!

I'm impressed! The controller is big but really comfortable. The screen looks really crisp! Ray man legends was fun and looked excellent. The WiiU itself is really long! The thing must have been more than a foot. I'm happy with my Pre Order! Anyone else play it?

For all the non believers. Feel free to call my local Gamestop. The phone number is (760) 340-5505

Be right back

*runs to Gamestop*

they have em set up already? What is the set up like can you move the tablet around or is binded to the stand

am fek jealous

My Wii is really long and you don't see me making threads about it.

No, really though, that's cool. I didn't know they had kiosks set up already. I'm thinking about selling my PS3, Wii and 360 here in the next couple of weeks. Just go WiiU and PC until the next consoles drop.

Definitely. I mean... how could a guy on a gaming message board possibly be excited about a new platform from one of the best gaming companies in the history of this industry?

It must be remorse.

Like you need to change em? Or like they'll dry out with a good breeze?

Trying to decide if I should pre-order.

Because they only had Rayman Legends my pants should dry out here soon. I wish they had a ZombiU demo.

So you try it out at all gamestops or does it vary?

My gues is that not all of the GameStops have them. My mall seemed to be pretty lucky with this stuff. When the Wii Launched we had a giant Wii kiosk with Nintendo Reps and everything there. They had 5 Wiis available.

I went last week to my local Best Buy and Gamestop, both of them didn't have one yet.

I doubt every store is getting them.

I remember that my Gamestop got a Wii like a few weeks before it came out.

I hope there are alternatives to using that stupid controller.

The thing looks like it was mimicking an iPad.

There are.

It also supports the Wiimote.

Though as far as I'm concerned the tablet controller looks great! Its the main appeal of the console for me besides the inevitable 1st party titles. I'd at least give it a try before writing it off.

My issue is that most games will only focus on 1 tablet controller. The most the console will support is 2. This would be the equivalent of the original Wii only allowing 1 or 2 motion controllers and the rest being GameCube controllers. Nintendo makes great party games no doubt. But if only 25%-50% of the players are getting the main innovation of the console, the "gimmick" is only half as effective as it was last generation. Like most hardcore gamers I will own a Wii U day one. But I am having a hard time seeing this console catching fire like the Wii did. GoldenElementXL

Thats cool and all, but I actually like the 1 tablet idea. If the WiiU turns out to be a single player centric console I'll be very happy.

I'll be able to play it sooner or later. I will end up getting a Wii U anyway, just not on launch. I'm waiting for Zelda and Smash Bros etc...the WiiU launch line up is not too impressive, but that is how all launch line ups are.

Waiting on the software still, but I'm optimistic it'll perform well at retail. Doubtful it'll live up to what the Wii did.

[QUOTE="ConanTheStoner"]

[QUOTE="MajorPain10"] It looks more like a combination of the touchscreen controller and the motion controls that will bring in that unique experience. A lot of it is that asymmetric gameplay that Nintendo has been talking to us about for so long. GoldenElementXL

It is not necessary for all players to receive the tablet controller in order to have it affect their gameplay experience. Consider Nintendo Land, some of it's ten different attractions involve asymmetric gameplay. One player uses the gamepad and it's separate screen, 2-4 players use the TV with screenless-controllers. On a single video games console we can support two different views into the game world. Previously one essentially needed to have multiple consoles, a console 'LAN', to have this type of gameplay. More gamepads is obviously better again, but quite frankly I would have been happy with one.

I too see it having a hard time 'catching fire' but for different reasons. It's mostly too early to tell.

pics or it dun happ3n i shiggy

im waiting for the golden wiiU zelda bundle :D
