It says that because the item isn't available yet
I just called BB and they said I'll be getting my Wii U either at the end of the day on Saturday or Monday morning.

Is GameStop calling people to confirm? I know they called before the 3DS launch.

Long freakin time coming. All of the speculation can end, at least for a time.....

Yeah. Feels a bit dull not to be able to get the console at launch. I'm very poor and have got just about 10% of the price saved up. Maybe for christmas I can get it, who knows?
I'm eagerly waiting for iFixit or other site to disassemble Wii U so we can know exactly what kind of hardware it incorporates.
That (or something similar) happened to me over a month ago. I had pre-ordered and everything seemed okeydoke, I had no reason to think that the CC hadn't been charged since the transaction looked like it had gone through from the BB site.
Turns out they charged my CC some weeks after I thought everything was settled and my CC blocked the transaction, they called to confirm with me about it but by that time it was too late.
I ended up just ebaying a preorder

Question. Does this mean I can use the same Component cable I bought for my Wii on the Wii U? I was wondering if that was a misplaced comma. I ask because my TV only has one HDMI port and that's used up by my Mac mini and I don't really want to buy a switcher since eventually I'll just buy a new TV.
Yep, it works. Wish I hadn't sold mine with my Wii.

Thank the dear baby Jebus. I was worried Component was passé or they were going to require a new cable.
Another question, and I'm sure it's been asked, and I'm working my way through the huge OT but will I need to transfer my current data from my Wii via a cable, or can it just redownload all my games itself ala iOS, or can it play my old stuff at all? And how would I go about moving all my saved games? Manually via SD card? Would be nice if it had a Firmware based automatic migration system or something.

Goddamn, I generally try to avoid hype but invariably get excited a few days before. GAF, do I need a WiiU?

I also have only an SD TV. I have no real reason to upgrade yet. When I do eventually upgrade, it'll probably be a substantial investment, as I'll want one with a taller screen than the CRT I'm currently using.
But until then, if I get a Wii U first, I don't really see it as a huge deal.

I got a call from my GameStop today reminding me to pick up my Wii U on Sunday. No midnight and no early opening.
This makes me happy. Very excited for this one.
Just hope NewEgg gets it to me very soon... $40 is too good to pass up from them
ohh boy!!
Been pumped forever about this system. Nintendo and HD are just two words I always wanted to see together; it's enough to fuel this for me, and the fact that I basically only spent about a $150 (and did some trading in during lucrative promotions) to get the deluxe bundle paid off made it totally worth it.
Funny enough, I only actually tried the system out for the very first time today. The big-ass kiosk was set up inside an EB downtown. The only playable demo seemed to be Rayman Legends. Totally gorgeous. Had some fun some stuff going on with the touch-screen gameplay. It's definitely a little disorienting at first, learning to look back and forth. It's definitely like playing a very big DS in many ways.
I was relatively enthralled. I'm pumped. SUNDAY!

So my wife is going to try to pick this up from walmart layaway in a couple hours. I'm stuck at work but was told that they only received enough wii u's to cover people who preordered but that they had received them. I said "so I will be able to come pick it up on the 18th?" And was told "you can come pick it uptoday!" Worth a shot.

If anyone is interested in numbers, at my Walmart in a tourist Ohio town we only had 4 o r 5 preorders, and we received those and 42 more deluxe and only 10 regular. WE Also only got 3 black pro controllers and 0 whites. Game wise i can say we didn't get enough Mario or Nintendoland to cover them all, about 10 zombie u , one ninja gaiden, and maybe 6 or so if the other titles. Haven't seen bo2 our a couple others yet.terrible spelling courtesy of my phone.
I can't reveal the name, but a branded "next gen" game that some people thought couldn't run on Wii U seems to be in development for the system
Even if downscaling the engine may be employed, it shouldn't be to a point the developers behind wouldn't recognize what they envisioned for their game visually.
So it's a really promising news about the viability, the future proof aspect, of the system (along with other data we got like Shin'en comments on their NotEnoughShaders interview).
HYPE BEFORE LAUNCH GUYS !

Isn't Idea Man french? Probably Watch Dogs.
Which makes sense seeing as how Ubisoft is jizzing themselves over this thing.

I was hoping for some more exciting facts... err, speculation.
Watch Dogs probably, given the support from Ubi

hypppeee
watch dogs? that game has to come to Wii U. gamepad is so perfect for it and Ubi loves Wii U
What the. FPSs don't even use the pressure sensitive triggers. What? How do PC gamers manage with our mouse buttons? I don't get what this article is saying.

I'm okay with that

I microwave steaks.
I bought the Xbox 360 with the same mentality. Needless to say after a day or two I scrounged up all of my money and bought a cheap 19 inch hdtv (after playing game demos with scrounged black bars or hard to read text). Don't regret it, it really makes a difference, that first jump to High Definition is totally worth it. Of course now i'm rocking a 46 inch. I would definitely consider getting a cheap hdtv, it really makes a difference.
That's just mental.
While weight matters, bed gaming for me is more affected by size than weight. The 3DS is too small for me to whole while lying down. I can hold my iPad OK, albeit it's a bit heavy. In the end I'll probably sit up and game in bed if I need to.

Why would the Watch Dogs engine need to be downscaled for Wii U?

never seen that
If that's the case, we'll probably get something between the current en next gen version.
