Wii U pre-orders open at GameStop in-store and online

I can confirm GameStop IS taking pre-orders. I just pre-ordered the Deluxe version at my store.

Some things to note:

It is not actually called "Wii U" in the store computer yet. The manager at my store said the system hasn't been updated and it's right now listed as "available SKU". Both versions are called this, but have different SKUs.

The $350 deluxe model's SKU is 020358. The $300 basic model's SKU is 020359. A $50 deposit is required.

He said the computer will probably re-name them to WiiU by tomorrow but because it was a "hush hush" situation that they were opening preorders today, they haven't been changed yet. He also told me he wasn't sure how many pre orders they'd be taking.

Nice.

Thanks for the update

After the disappointment of the Wii, and Nintendo in general, I think I will wait and see what kind of game support The WiiU gets.
Old 09-13-2012, 11:16 AM   #5
I have zero interest in this Wii U. It's a system for suckers at 300 and 350. Buy a real system instead: PS3 or 360.

I was in the same boat as you. But with NSMBU, ZombiU, Pikmin 3, and Smash Bros...I'm sold

I'll buy it when they announce a new Mario Kart.
Old 09-13-2012, 11:38 AM   #8
Just pre-ordered mine from my closest GameStop as well. Deluxe with NSMBU. My pre-order is actually listed as "Neo Geo X Gold System".

I agree and my 3DS is covering for my Mario and Zelda craves. 300 is way to much unless it plays 3D blu-rays or blu-rays in general.
Old 09-13-2012, 11:42 AM   #10
gamestop.com preorders for both models are open as well.

Comes with Nintendo Land. I meant I pre-ordered the Deluxe Wii-U along with NSMBU to go with it.

Put a order in for the 32gb model, thanks
Old 09-13-2012, 11:47 AM   #16
Can't wait for Amazon to open preorders
Old 09-13-2012, 11:49 AM   #17
I will say I am pretty surprised at the HD sizes. So much for installing my games, digital releases, and having music and video on my WiiU. At least there is Bayonetta 2?

I heard Amazon doesn't directly sell Nintendo consoles anymore.

FYI - If you pre-order online, you don't have to put any money down like in-store. Credit card is not billed until item ships.

I think i might wait a bit to pre-order.......I seriously doubt they will sell out of a console pre-order. Cash too tight, and still not 100% sold on the launch titles
