Saves me about $40 bucks (taking into that I'd have to pay tax on the console). So I guess I'd have to wait for release and not pre-order. Also not sure how that would work. Will they let me buy the console, take it home and transfer, then come back with the Wii and get $60 back?

same here but i too have very few wii VC games and i havent touched them in ages. hell the most love the wii has gotten in years was xenoblade....but the wii u does have an SD card spot right???

I really hope Nintendo knows what its getting in to, I don't want to see another uDraw failure.... And well since its backwards compatable might as well get rid of my Wii before it becomes the next gamecube. Speaking of Gamecube does anyone know if its Gamecube compatible? I might not get rid of my Wii at all if its not!

im in the same boat. though a wii being traded in for around 60 dollars is tempting as hell. that would give me 240-50 in gamestop credit which would make the wii u quite affordable.

buying a GC used is always an option they run for 25-40 dollars it seems so that isnt a bad trade off.

i mean i do want a gamecube player as i have 60 gamecube games....but i dont need one right this second.

either way the offer is tempting

also bayonetta 2 yes please
