Well I hope there's some kind of informative Nintendo event before the Wii U's release. It seems to ALMOST fit their ND schedule and at the same time can be used to show more games!

You could try the wayback machine if their no longer up. Also, in interviews it seems the Wii Transfer isn't going to make launch so we might not hear much on that until after launch.

I know I've expected the next ND to be in October. It would be a good time to have as narrow a window as possible while allowing them to hide whatever it is their hiding as long as possible till launch.

Nintendo doesn't keep a strict schedule for Directs. We had two in June, one in August, 1.5 in September. Expect more than one yet before Wii U launch.

I kinda disagree with that since some of those were special NDs.

All but one (in June) were. I guess we're overdue then. :3

Must be a Europe thing;
Edit; Beet.
I need a wallpaper of the black version of this box. It must be my favorite box of a product if a long time since Apple boxes
also for those who opened a Wii box on launch day years ago is the blue of the cardboard inside this this same blue that is outside now?

Yep. I believe the next one will be in October as well. The Wii U event doesn't count.
Us peons in the west get a ND every four months because Nintendo is cheap.
I dunno, I think I like the White box more, bias aside. I think White looks better with sky blue :3
And yeah, It's a fantastic box design imo. Really nice.

I thought the one in August was dedicated to 3DS again making it not a special ND? I think we're on track.
This.
It is quite a nice box.

My aunt & uncle run a Mom & Pop store, "The Gamecube Hut", and sold 80k WiiU within minutes of opening.

Thanks, there was another one when NeoGAF wasn't NeoGAF yet, it was another site and it was during 1999 - 2004.

I think I'll be fine with 8 gigs until next year when I pick up an HDD. I have an extra 16gb stick around if need be

Yeah, but I'm pretty sure that is from the pre "NeoGaf" branding days. Its from the www.gaming-age.com site's server, that's for sure.
Here's is the archive of that page from the WayBack Machine... unfortunately, many of those links go to a login page (dead end):

Yeah, but I'm anticipating that the Wii U OS will organize the internal and expanded storage into separate "buckets". It would be nice to keep all your downloaded apps and utilities on the main board bucket, while your games are all on a huge external drive.

Haha. I remember it because it was early in the morning and I refused to get up just for more 3DS info.

I noticed that the Basic Set has a clean spine, so I erased the words on the Deluxe Set.
I think the Basic box I had was European, there will be many words on the NA Basic set box
I was actually upset about Wii U not playing blue rays. I have a PS3 for that, but will be moving it into my son's room at launch. But I realized that I rarely watch blu ray anymore; 95% of what I watch now I stream...so no worries!

Yeah it was but I'm really surprised that people were expecting any more from square. I mean, do people remember final fantasy 11 on the xbox 360? It was just an upressed version of the ps2 game. And final fantasy normally always makes graphics a higher priority than the Dragon Quest series
Thanks, sucks that I don't have permission to access the page (I need to log in lol).
On topic: I pre ordered the Deluxe Wii U, I'm planning to buy a 500GB Seagate External Hard Drive next year for it.
axisofweevils
Holy crap! Today's real megaton is that more than two people can have the same first name.
I've just realised that the Black Wii U looks eerily similar to my black Western Digital "MyBook" 1TB external Hard Drive - which I'll be using it with.
Good post. What really stands out is Tecmo Koei is fully on board- half the 3rd party titles we know about are from them.
I imagine we'll still see a few more announcements.
"Why waste $50 on the deluxe, save that money to buy a much higher quality Monster HDMI cable!"
If you were a pessimist you could say that the features might not make it to launch.
Get a 32GB card for like $10-20? Well it isn't be a UHS one for that price but I imagine they've tested with slower cards anyway.
Well the Wii one looked pretty choppy in heavily populated areas (or maybe really bad with lag?) so just an upres plus beefier hardware should be nice if it at least cleans the framerate up. And it has nicer shadows apparently!

It'll be like having two Wii Us in your setup.
For the love of God, please, tape them together!

If I can find a nice looking HDD I might go for that not that I would need all of this space unless you can install a game from disk
thank I just want DQX to come the the west by Holiday 2013

Which is why I expect another Nintendo Direct in a couple weeks. We just got Nintendo TVii out of nowhere. Wouldn't be surprised if Nintendo unveils some more surprises in regards to Nintendo Network and how you find your friends online to play games.

At the GS Expo last month I pressed the home button and nothing happened. There was a Scribblenauts station left unattended so I figured I'd try pressing all the extra buttons like the TV and home button, even held them down to see if anything special happened (nope).
Also I checked the back and if you guys are wanting shots of the sticker on the back (I'm assuming?) it's covered by the tethering harness.

We've had a Direct every other month for a year. A late-October Direct is extremely likely.
Special 1st Anniversary Nintendo Direct w/ extra Wii U goodness confirmed? :O
