Christ, that controller looks terrible, so it had better be even better quality than the official one. I'd rather just mod the regular one with some colored buttons so it looks like the one our fellow gaffer made.

Of course not. They're hideous just like your avatar.

People should not have dared me to use a Halloween avatar
I decided to keep the theme and use a Conan O'Brien mask
There is NOA, NOE, Pokemon and many more to follow, which wouldn´t raise any kind of suspicion.On the other hand, NOA follows lots of lots of people.

Go to the halloween thread to turn yourn avatar halloweenish. Or do it yourself since its a xbox avatar it should be easy since they have costumes and such.
I think the difference seems to be that NOA twitter is run by the PR firm while I think NCLs is run in house etc

Thank you, this would explain it. Still makes you wonder about the choices who to follow.

I'm currently playing X-Com (PS3 verison), and the game is practically screaming for a WiiU version. The Gamerpad would help it become such a more streamlined and intuitive experience.... it's just a shame that such a potentially great WiiU experience isn't coming. :/
You are a much braver man/women then I could ever be.

I remember Dragonzord sharing a couple of news concerning Wii U and GameStop in the past. I don't think he's been around these threads lately, though.

In the wii u demo stations arriving thread someone from gamestop said they should be getting them this week also.

I have the next two days off, lol. Not so for the rest of the week.
I feel I should get some money off of this.
Anyway, I'm excited for the Wii U display set up. Already hyped my Manager to the point of, if the Nintendo rep doesnt show up tomorrow, I'm setting the damn thing up myself (after I call up my Nintendo rep to make sure everything is cool). The Box came with instructions.
The one thing that I did notice before I got off work was looking at the Fixture, the actual Console isn't pre set up like the Gamepad and the wiimote/nunchuck. Though I didnt dig through any of the other 6 boxes to double check. If it's not included in with it, then the Rep's might actually bring the system with them, which could rain on my personal set up parade.

None of them look particularly interesting, but I applaud them for attempting different styles. I want to see the variation with a different button layout. Or better yet, a GameCube-styled controller for those inevitable GC games coming.

too bad they're ugly as all hell.

One of the managers of an EB Games in my region was recently at a Nintendo event and got his hands on a Wii U and was apparently very impressed and excited to get a demo unit. Unfortunately he had no idea when they'll be receiving one
On the other hand I hope his excitement means that he'll consider opening at midnight for launch. I wonder if it is up to each regional manager..

I got dibs on the "Technicolor Dream Coat" one and the "Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs" one!!! >
The possibility of it being on the day of my birth???

Probably Nov 15.
Videogames always, always, take too long.
Old disappointing news.
Are these at gamestop or something?
If the release date is in March then it can be in Spring AND still be in the launch window!

this is extremely great news. I don't understand why people are down on this.
POLISH POLISH POLISH the hell out of that until it has nothing that looks like a Wii (low textures + blocks)

Also, I think Nintendo is thinking Pikmin Adventure will get Pikmin 3 more sales.
With the Wii U coming with an HDMI cable, and those old surveys showing the majority of people used non-HD cords to watch stuff on their HDTV (meaning there's probably still a fair few doing it today), the Wii U could be the first HD content that a lot of people watch on their HDTVs.
This is possible. I know the majority of the people I've interacted with that arent as informed and tech focused as us, they don't know that in order to get As Advertised graphics, they need the High Def cables. Not only that but the fact that they are typically never included, they don't want to shell out the extra cash for the cables.

And maybe a rerelease of Pikmin 1/2 on the VC?
Too much to ask? Maybe will dilute sales?
I don't care.
I wants them.
