So.. I have an online ordered wii-u scheduled to be delivered later this week but I was just at walmart picking up some things, checked out their electronics department for the heck if it, and it just so happens I arrived shortly after their wii-u supply was restocked
I couldn't resist.. I'll be seeing if any of my friends are interested in buying my second deluxe at cost when it gets here, or if not i'll hit up craigslist or something
As for the system impressions, black is very nice looking (boo to the glossy finish thoug, boo I say.)
Setup has been painless so far. Recognized my tv, remote, and wifi internet immediately on the first try. Didn't have to resort to entering my connection information manually as others have apparently had to.
Downloading the system update now. 10~ minutes in and it's already about a quarter completed, probably not such a timely download now that the launch day bandwidth rush has died down.
Can't wait to get this baby patched up and ready to play! My newegg order with zombiu, nsmbu, and sonic racing should be here tomorrow. Nintendoland multiplayer with my wife will do just fine in the meantime.
