RTS vs FPS is a pretty great concept and one that takes advantage of the systems unique setup.

This is what gets me pumped, my gf thinks being "the zombie master" while I run around and try to defend would be amazing.

launch lineup is impressive

i remember when the ps3 and wii launched and i could barely find one game worth buying

well the only difference here is that developers didn't want to do the ps3/vita thing since not veryone that bought a vita had a ps3 and vise versa, where as with the Wii u, everyone has the tablet controller and apparently it's stuper easy to get video output onto the controller so I see a lot of people doing it. glad


and damn all these hands on with NSMBU make me want the game even more. Basically an Hd Super Mario world? YES

I got that one coming too, I think its going to be an amazing co-op game.

OK, this is the second time I've had to clean up this thread. I thought you guys might get a clue the first time I did it but it just kept happening.

And by the way, while Paladinion maybe didn't handle it in the right way (and used some goofy language in explaining his situation), I think you guys were way too harsh and exhibited some scary mob mentality in attacking him.

I actually had the same thing happen to me, and also got the additional credit for the trade-in after the fact (though it was all very pleasant and no one got anyone by the balls or anything ).

Maybe he didn't explain it well enough but a few weeks back GS had a trade-in promo on hardware and advertized it as a Power Up Rewards exclusive promo. On the very last day I (and many other CAGs) decided to take advantage of the deal since it seemed like the prices would go back down to their usual low levels the next day. It turned out instead that they offered a DOUBLE trade-in promo the very next day which resulted in as much as $60-$80 more for some systems than the "exclusive" promo we were being advertized. I certainlly wouldn't have blamed the clerk for that (as they often don't know about deals like that in advance - and in fact the new deal was not advertized at all before hand or otherwise we would have known about it here). But it was a pretty sleazy thing for GS corporate to push a "PUR exclusive" offer then hose people with a much better one the day after it expired. A helpful store manager got me the extra credit the very next day and I walked away a happy customer.

Sure, Paladinion could have handled it better (and explained what happened better) - no argument there. But no one could have researched the deal and known about it in advance and thus held off on what they thought was the best promo going at the time. There was no info on it till the day it went live.

Sorry. :(

@io, I think Paladinion was so heated because of yours and others success stories.

Hell of a lot better then I explained it....i tried to be civil in store but the manager was just being unreasonable. So that's when I went to corporate, then they called the DM yada yada, long story short I got my credit. Its hard to get anything done with employees in store since they either don't know, or don't have the clearance to do something. It took the DM there in order for me to get my extra credit.

But enough about my struggles, I forgive you all and just want to get back on track with our excitement for the Wii U!

Edit: Also and next time, ill try not to grab balls..

However, it really had very little to do with Wii U preorders anyway and last I checked this is the thread for that, right?

BTW, I saw a Wii U demo unit in Target today that did not have the Rayman demo activated. That was strange since the GS one did have that active a few days ago. I'm not even sure what the point of the demo unit is as the majority of people who stumble upon that not knowing what it is already are most likely not getting one any time soon anyway. But I guess Nintendo does need to get the system out in the public regardless of preorder sellouts.

My Walmart told me I had to put money on it every 30 days to keep it active. Since I preordered the first day, that means I have to put money on it once before the Wii launch. She said if I didn't pay anything-- even like $10, I'd lose it.

Seems truly bizarre and I don't see anyone else mentioning being told that, but I should probably make a trip up to Walmart to put $10 more on it just to be safe.

Haven't seen a Wii U card at Target yet. One told me they wouldn't have them, then the next day was sold out (figures), but then assured me they'd get more before launch. Another was sold out and no hope of restock, according to sales person. I don't think Target knows what is going on to be honest.

It also doesn't help that stores like Best Buy and Target are filled with clueless seasonal employees right now. I myself will be holding out on the Wii U until the game reviews come in to see how they run on the console but I will be watching this thread closely on launch day to read all the interesting stories.

Now back on wii u topic, I had a chance to play it yesterday with my son and we both really liked rayman. I was a little thrown off by how big the controller was, but after a few minutes I did not even notice. I really want to play some of the other games before release, because it would would make it easier to choose what games to buy.

My Target was the same way. I also thought it was strange.

I stopped by my local gamestop after work saturday and was expecting to get to try out a Wii U demo unit but to my suprise they didn't have one. With best buy getting them I was so sure gamestop would have one. Anyways, I got thinking supply of these things must be really low for nintendo not to have one in every store with less than 3 weeks to launch. I heard the gamestop employee on the phone with someone wanting to preorder a Wii U and he told them about the waiting list and said they were only going to be a million available before the holidays. This thing is going to be crazy scarce until feb or march is what I'm thinking.

No they have to be redeemed at our Target.

But thats where ur wrong. They do know about upcoming sales, like any store knows the upcoming sales. The sales dont just appear out of thin air on the last day.

Though the guy is of course at fault for not doing more research, it was also the GS employee's duty to inform him of the upcoming sales. Its called ethics. So i blame both parties.

You'd be surprised. The vast majority of retail employees are never told by their managers of upcoming promotions. Most find out about them by (1) having the register ring something up at a promo price, (2) getting ads or promo items they have to put up in the sore before opening or after closing the day before, or (3) walking in to the store that day and seeing ads up that the manager or previous shift already put up.

Has anyone had any luck with changing the shipping address on a TRU order before? I e-mail and called, and both times they told me they were unable to do it. They said to cancel and re-order.

I've ran into this before as well, they won't do it. Hell I don't think they'd even let me cancel the order, I think I was told that I'd have to get the order and return it to a store or not accept the delivery or something.
