He's walkable and friendly with strangers, so I brought him to the last media event at Zynga (that's the leg of Kotaku's Kirk Hamilton on the left): http://instagram.com/p/MWIshBrxrq/
He also gets a namedrop in Rev3Games' Halo 4 Doritos/Mtn. Dew unboxing: http://youtu.be/DGPW23aazuM?hd=1&t=1m42s

There does not appear to be a system-wide accomplishments system.

I really wish we could get some Blops 2 reviews or some sort of info about the WiiU version. It's probably the only game I am going to pick on at launch and I am really curious about the quality of online multiplayer. Of course there really won't be a way to know until everyone (hopefully floods of people) start playing it...
'80 hour battery life' is the real selling point to me, but I don't know what game I'd use it with yet.

Cat approval means I will purchase this system, well done
The fact that its usb and bluetooth, meaning it could be an incredible PC controller has almost entirely sold me on it on that alone.
Mine just arrived. Yes, I have dishes to do.
Cute cat
Also, Razor's Edge impressions? Any if at all possible? Haven't seen any previews of the final package...

too bad I cannot use it for Xenoblade... I don't want to use Wii Mode, it pains me that too many Wii U things cannot work for Wii Mode
I'm sure I'll find something to play with so I need to look it up and order one
That really sucks. One of the things I've been most excited about Wii U was getting some Gamecube and Wii classics rereleased in HD, and some kind of achievement system along with those games would have made for an excellent extra reason to replay them all.
I know people like to jump all over Nintendo for their rereleases, but I really want to play some of those sub-HD games from over the last decade in HD. They should have launched with something like a $20 Windwaker HD port or something.

Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
Nintendo Gamer has a typically quirky Wii U video which promises to answer all your "important" questions... I LOL'd.

Amazon is selling Wii U gamepad faceplates. I'll probably get one of them.

Wants the largest console games publisher to avoid Nintendo's platforms.
A good article about a good studio making a good game.
Game's been on my shopping list for some time now.

Holy shit. There is coin battery replacement on the Wii U? That's some Saturn level shit right there. I hope we never actually have to do it. But the fact that they are actually showing it seems odd.
what is the purpose for the coin battery in the cosole?

This is the closest thing I've seen so far. Also comes with a built in "kickstand" so you don't need the official stands.

that look pretty good. hopefully amazon canada will have one of that.
Why would you do that?

For the clock. The Wii has one too, as does the Gamecube. They all have a similar flap for removing the battery.
All PCs have a CR2032 coin battery like that, too, and it should last at least 10-15 years.

REALLY!!!!?? MIND BLOWN! Never knew that.
I'm using it for Ninja Gaiden. Oh god I can't believe I'm buying ninja gaiden 3
I feel the same way. Magazines racks will roll if this game is still bad.
really didn't know that
They do? Didn't know that. Do they only use the battery when the system's not plugged in?
Also, someone should figure out if it's possible to connect an HDMI cable and a composite one at the same time.

Excited for the console, but my girlfriend more so. Hopefully my pre-order is still good because I'm not confident GameStop updated my billing information correctly.
Thanks for posting. I had fun writing this.

i hope it's for the clock only.

Every device with a clock running while the power is off has to have some sort of battery to keep the time going. So the PS2/3, Xbox (360) etc should all have a battery somewhere. It might not be removable, though.

The 360 as far as I know doesn't remember the time when unplugged. Always seems to reset to 01:00 PM.
yeah i feel my 360 and ps3 never have the right time. It is connected to the internet, and they have my address/ip, shouldn't it just grab the time from the nets? I thought it had that option somewhere, but I swear it is never right.

I'm kinda shock people are making a fuss about the clock battery but ignore the manual's talk of Dead Pixels on the GamePad (shiver)

did a fast google search and it looks like the xbox 360 does not have a battery(at least for early models)
lol missed this neogaf thread when searching lol

Dead pixels? Nooooooooooooo.
Why would you do that?

Ah, I don't have an Xbox or a 360, so I didn't know the 360s don't have a battery. An odd omission, but it's not like you unplug your console frequently anyway.
