Gotta wait to the 30th, not bad for an AUS release but still
It's been a long time since i was hyped for anything gaming.
Giant Bomb confirmed a Wii U live stream on launch day in their "I Love Mondays'' video. http://www.giantbomb.com/i-love-mondays-11122012/17-6793/
I also hope that Ninja Gaiden 3 will get better reviews than the PS360 versions. I really want that game.
I reckon that should be pretty much a safe bet; speaking of which, today's the 13th of November already, so are we expecting first Ninja gaiden 3 reviews at any moment, aren't we?
Just checked, IGN have moved them all to the 18th.

Ninja Gaiden 3 Wii U Nov. 18 Nov. 13
New Super Mario Bros. U Wii U Nov. 18 Nov. 15
Nintendo Land Wii U Nov. 18 Nov. 15
You seem to be bad at checking.

I wonder which WiiU multi-plat (and when) will get the first Digital Foundry face-off.
I guess they could just update current face-offs with the new WiiU "data". (let's say for ACIII, ME3, etc)
Would be interesting, anyways.
its probably going to be AC3 first, followed by ninja gaiden, then ME3 , whatever others are out, and Warriors orochi 3 last(one i'm actually interested in considering koei said there were problems originally)
Any idea of when we'll get our first Zombi U reviews? I'm still on the fence and I need a push. :<
Or maybe Black Ops II.
Isn't it basically the first -major- title, being released simultaneously on all 3 consoles?
This is what I am hoping for. It looks like Blops II could be the most graphically intensive game launching with the WiiU. It would be interesting to see a comparison.
Still no update prompt for press Wii U systems? I'd like some impressions of Miiverse integration.
I just heard that the store where I work will get 60 units total. (EU)
Considering the size and location of the store this is an extremely tiny shipment.
Tempted to keep my pre-order sealed just to flip it on eBay when demand goes crazy.
Brad announced that during the Nintendo World Report charity podcastathon on Saturday. Live stream will happen on actual launch day (yes, they're dragging themselves out of bed on a Sunday! lol).
Stealth update coming couple days before street date. My prediction: it'll still be missing a lot of features many suspected would be there on day 1 and it'll take them 6 months to roll it all out. Awesome!
That will be the real test. Wii U looks like a modest upgrade over the 360 and PS3 on paper, but wouldn't it be disappointing if the games actually look WORSE? Sadly I can see that happening. I really hope not but... I'm often disappointed For once I'd like to see something in the console sector knock my socks off. Hasn't happened since around the time the 360/PS3 launched. Meanwhile you look at something like Apple's iPad and i'm re-wowed by it all the time. I'm not even a fanboy.
That's not tiny at all. Many Gamestops in the USA are getting way, way less. My local gamestop is getting 14 (13 deluxe, 1 regular) and maybe a couple more for walk-ins but nobody knows just how many that will be. I'd place that number under 10, maybe even closer to 5.
A nearby wal-mart is only getting 8.
60 is generous.
Yeah it's going to be hard avoiding spoilers and things whilst still visiting NeoGAF while I wait.
So how is this expected to sell? At least compared to Wii's initial sales run? I know console sales aren't what they used to be but I'm curious about how much hype this thing has.
I was a huge Nintendo fanatic even through the Wii era, but I'm completely out of tune with the Wii U. And a lot of its functionality is still really confusing to me. I wonder what the casual passerby crowd will think of it if even I don't quite understand all that it can do. If you transfer a game over from your TV to your screen, what happens to the touch screen functionality you had before? Is that just gone? I don't even know Gaf.

I remember reading somewhere (I think Engadget) that they've been told to expect the update on Friday.
I hope nothing goes monumentally wrong with the update process. You think they would want a couple of weeks to test things with distribution to press units before release.
Does that mean full Wii U blowout? No restrictions on what they can show?
Also in two years, a trimmed down GamePad will be released. Calling it now.
Anyone working in retail know when consoles start coming in? I preordered from Wal-Mart, and I'm curious to know when they will start setting consoles aside.

Probably, but I"m guessing that around that time they'll likely be introducing the ability to use two gamepads at the same time so it wouldn't be too big of a deal buying a new version of the gamepad.
