I have no interest in buying another damn Nintendo system.
I do, however, have mega interest in playing a proper HD version of Zelda, Metroid, 3D Mario Brothers, etc. Hopefully, there'll be a bunch of non-PC games I want to play by the time one of those heavy hitters make me buy the system. I wonder what the difference in revenue would be for Nintendo if they did go 3rd party. On one hand, I know that every console they sell is usually profitable. On the other hand, I wonder if software sales across all of the other game machines would approach or beat that number. Of course, I'm well aware that they've run that scenario extensively and that the reason they're releasing another console is that their results are opposite of my hopes and dreams. I only say this as a Wii early adopter. I paid around $320 for a Wii and an extra controller. I played (and enjoyed) Zelda (TP), Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Metroid Prime 3, and Mario Kart before I got tired of it and sold it to make room for my Blu Ray / Uncharted player. Since these were literally the only games I played and enjoyed (I know there's more I missed out on), allocating the cost of the system between the games means that I basically paid $114 for each game I loved. I don't want to do that again.
Of course... I will if I have to.

Did I imagine it, or did Nintendo say that every Wii-U game will be downloadable? I hope they won't be more than retail price though! Another good reason to import I think (US system).

HYPE. I really hope Pikmin 3 and P-100 are launch titles, but I'm not holding my breath.
Yeah, I guess you could use an USB stick.

The 2013 lineup will be the launch window until march, then silence until E3. yay!
I got a 100gb external 5 years ago and it doesn't require an additional power input, just USB. I'm sure by now you could get one a lot larger for the same price (mine was $89).
But not all external HDDs use extra power inputs?

That makes the game look quite nice. The Youtube footage of it around E3 time made it look absolutely horrendous. Any more?

Same here.
If I see at least 3 titles that I feel hyped about, I'll probably bite (and then, only if it is less than £199).
So far, while p-100/pikmin/NSMBWIIU/ZombiU/Rayman/Trine are all looking interesting, I feel like I can kinda do without them.
I know that Smash is one of my hyped games, so I only really need two more.

Ah.. So close. I can not wait
Oh, didn't know that!
In fact, I buy an external USB HDD last year, searched for no external input models but didn't find anything...
Now I have this external HDD, I don't think I will buy another one, but thanks for the intel!

I think it will depend on publisher. I think it was stated Scribblenauts would not be on the E-shop

Will probably pick up at launch simply for a new toy to play with, and because I'll get it eventually. Even shitty launch software is unlikely to turn me off, hello 3DS. Only thing that will really stop me is serious AU price gouging. If the price here is completely irrational and unreasonable, Nintendo can fuck off.
Otherwise yeah, I'm down. P-100 is the No.1 game on my list. I'm not expecting it for launch, unfortunately. Rayman is a shoe-in and I'm happy it is likely to be there. Zombi U too sounds excellent on paper, and looks interesting, even if I'm not completely convinced it will live up to my expectations. Pikmin 3 is a must have, but I don't expect it for launch. NSMB U is one of those "eventually" titles I'm sure to enjoy, but money being what it is means other games take priority.
Reggie's four month launch window is of greatest concern to me, as aside from the above there's nothing I want to buy for the system.

At the very least every first party game. They're trying to convince third party publishers on this.

You may have just done something Nintendo couldn't.
Sold me on WiiU.

Also, as a Dutchman, I have to remind you people about the WiiWare-game Toki Tori 2. First game was an awesome puzzler and the second one is coming to Wii U (and Steam)!

I found it to be amazingly good. Precise, well placed and responsive.
Is it weird that I'm hyped for the console but not the software? It's pretty much the same as the Wii launch for me. I know I'm going to buy the console I just wish there was a piece of software that could really get behind and get pumped about. At the moment, there is only slight interest in most of the launch line up titles.

Mass Effect's DLC doesn't fuck Australia, fortunately (quality aside).

If I get one for Scribble I'll likely buy ME3 and Pikmin as well. Maybe Arkham City since I haven't played it yet.

Oh nice. Looks good
Bought. All of them. + Game & Wario, Fifa, Scribblenauts and WiiFit U. I love console launches

I really want to get this thing at launch, but nintendo has been setting their expectations really low for how well this thing sells (they estimated 10.5 million wii+wii u for the year) Hopefully there won't be any shortages.
can't believe I'm doing this but ...
... *ahem* ...there is also a PC version of Scribblenauts Unlimited...
*runs away to hide from the shame*

Red Steel all over again, lol. Though that one at least had an unique concept. Can't say that I see the fascination for ZombiU.

Meelow is back September 15.
In store. I love going into the shop to buy a new consoles and then take it home.
I agree with this all, except Nintendoland won't be bundled in Japan and it will be pre-installed instead of a code in NA / PAL.
I'd be perfectly ok with this
I think the code makes sense. They've said they want everyone to experience the e-shop.
Me and my bros are all chipping in for the co-op games, while we're buying our own single-player games.
So yes, I actually am now getting Nintendoland and Mario. (was always getting Rayman, P-100, and Pikmin 3).
I love still living near my old gaming friends, and there's nothing like getting together on the weekend for co-operative/party gaming on the same couch.
And man do the Nintendo games look pretty in HD. The screenshots posted on the internet really don't do that games justice, especially Pikmin 3.
ZombiU looked really when when I got to play it hands-on, but i'm not a big FPS person on consoles.

I'll be damned when I entrust Royal Mail with anything that big/expensive. I've had them leave packages outside the front door, and in the neighbourhood I'm living in come September, it would be gone.
Although saying that, in-store you're very likely to get stuck with an expensive bundle deal you didn't ask for with games you don't want, as is GAME's mantra with Nintendo hardware launches.

Kinda excited, but definitely need to get a better sense of how both first- and third-party software is shaping up for 2013 before I even consider buying one.
