But those 2 employees, they're there from day 1, years ago. Looks like they actually own the business. Now I'm too curious to see how it goes in other stores this weekend

I am excited to pick mine up tomorrow :))) Question for you guys- Would I be able to sell the online code for the Wind Waker HD that comes with the deluxe bundle? I really want to use that cash for a physical copy instead. Your thoughts? Edited by Striker, Sep 19 2013, 07:45 PM.

I was very disappointed when I recently found out the truth. It'll only come out in another week over here but I make Striker's words my own: Would it be possible to give someone else the code or will it be (serial number) linked to the console? - Lithium I've seen your nice unboxing video, do you know this? And also, do you think there will be people after this? Thanks

According to Ebay though, you have to sell a physical item, so just say in the description that you will be shipping them the paper with the code on it (you don't really have to, just message the winning buyer and ask if writing them the code in a message will be ok, Im sure nobody would say no to that)

I put in two pre-orders the day after the announcement and was first-in-line at both shops but neither could guarantee delivery.

MKII about that, I also thought there would be a bundle with the console+Game+Statue lol But I think I won't need to make a pre-order for that here if I decide to get the console bundle + the game with statue.

Just in case some really bad news here should prevent me from buying it. I see you were very excited about it when you bought it and then some time after you seemed very disappointed, a wast of money, you said. My question is: what is you opinion about the WiiU right now. Do you still think it's a waste or the upcoming titles got you happy again for having one?

There are a lot of good games coming out in the near future though and in my opinion the Wii U is a great console and I don't regerate buying mine. May be a different story if it was my only console though.

Veteran Posts: 1,163 Group: Senior Members Member #1,034 Joined: October 7, 2012	Buddy I was thinking about that, on the car on my way to work. This is why I think Nintendo should keep doing it's own thing. Looking back at all the consoles I owned in my life (many of them), how many games did I actually own and played many hours? To be honest, not that many. Like, 10 per console tops? It's true that I depended on my parents to get the games... but now that I make my own money, couple's life and the economy are treating me like my parents did so... Also I'm not an hardcore gamer anymore (if I ever was) and I'm past beyond the graphics and power war. Bottom line, I want Zelda, I want SSB, I want Sonic, I want Mario/Kart, I want DK, etc etc So I think the Wii is the console for me now. Also, Nintendo seems to be putting a lot more effort into changing the whole gaming experience. (And it's cheaper!) An extra bonus for me is that not having owned a Wii, I'll be able to pick at a cheap price some good Wii titles and play them in the WiiU. Note: yesterday I went to the (only) store (that appears to be selling the bundle) just to check if they would have in today for sure. He told me they only received one. For a second I thought I had lost my chance but not only did he offer to put it on reservation (?) for me he even went inside and brought it for me to see it. He couldn't sell it to me right there, so it was like torture, but I got to see the condition of the box which was perfect!

Veteran Posts: 1,163 Group: Senior Members Member #1,034 Joined: October 7, 2012	Ok... I'm not sure I understand this but it seems like I buy the console, which grants me a lot of points but I can't actually join ClubNintendo because this console is registered in a different way, that requires being a member already? Even though it comes with a flyer inside that says "Free! Join Club Nintendo". Seems like I can't register WW HD either. Is that right?

If i remember correctly, i setup and registered my Wii U with the NNID and had to "manually" link it to my existing Club Nintendo account. It was confusing, i called the helpdesk to figure out how to do it properly. IIRC the option was hidden in the eShop configuration menu(?) Once i had linked the console, it magically appeared in my Club Nintendo purchase list in short: Just call the Nintendo helpline, they can tell you what to do

Zombi U looked pretty good. It was the new console so I bought it in anticipation of the HD quality and possible some new games. I became a bit dissapointed as the year rolled round. There were not many titles being released for it, and some the games they had earmarked weren't going to be on the table for a considerable time. I suppose that it frustrated me a little bit when what I thought was such a god machine was getting no support and wasn't living up to the expectation that I had for it. Looking forward, I am liking some of the games coming up soon. For instance Sonic Lost Worlds interests me quite a bit, as I was a bit of a Sega fan in my early childhood years. Havn't really played a Sonic title since Sonic 2. I know!! Always like some Mario Kart action, and was dissapointed that it was going to be so long until it was out. Not much else really at the moment. I might pick up the new Mario game, but I havn't even finished the first Mario game released on the Wii U

I just find it ironic that they sell the console with a coupon inside telling you to go join the club for "FREE". But to do it you need to register a product first. But the WiiU needs you to be already a member to register the console. But when a person buys a console chances are you don't have any games, specially when the bundle comes with a downloadable game that you can't register either. Just a funny situation I'll give them a call MKII, thanks for the advice. @DeeMoney: Thanks for the input Dee And yes...in the meantime you should check out Sonic3 at least I guess the near future will be much brighter for you as a WiiU owner. Oh, and if you never played WindWaker in the Gamecube you should try the remake out, it's truly amazing.

Veteran Posts: 1,163 Group: Senior Members Member #1,034 Joined: October 7, 2012	Here I was, during my lunch break, thinking about what a bummer it is that the Virtual Console available in the WiiU is not the same as the one on the Wii and the games are very different. But as reading on Wikipedia that the Wii menu is a fully virtual Wii system inside the Wii U, it made wonder: does that mean that by accessing the Wii menu on the WiiU I can access the Wii virtual console and download its games? Is that possible?

Senior Member Posts: 703 Group: Senior Members Member #969 Joined: August 26, 2012	Correct Nuno, if you have wii data you can transfer it to wii u and use the wii emulator to play those games, and purchase new ones, or you can upgrade to the wii u vc games for like $2 i think

Senior Member Posts: 284 Group: Senior Members Member #1,556 Joined: June 7, 2013	This new Super Mario 3D World trailer is helping to make the game look better and better. I've honestly been bored of Mario side-scrollers for a while now (only got about halfway through New Super Mario Bros. U) but I'm liking that this seems to be a combination of that and Mario Galaxy. Also, the multiplayer looks pretty good and even things like stamps will give a nice little extra Edited by Guite, Oct 23 2013, 03:49 PM.
