Am I the only one hoping they will eventually release glasses free 3d models of the game pad?

I got some time alone with the Wii U and it's games.

ZombieU seems like a good mechanic that should be part of a bigger game.

Yup. What, no new chapter?

I just got back from Best Buy.

Traded in some games, but they were out of preorders for both the Deluxe and Basic. Best Buy is still doing online pre orders for the Basic, so I used the gift card towards the purchase. I set it up for In store pickup, so hopefully I am all set for midnight on Nov 17th, or as soon as they open on Sunday. It says on the order they will hold onto it until the 26th of Nov, so we'll see.

You think it'll be a regret to buy day one? I'm in for SMBU and Rayman Legends but debating ZombiU.

Sorry to go off topic a bit, but when does the BF OT usually get started?

I played the first one on DS and Wii and thought they were amazing.

Think i'm going to wait awhile on the wii u, i almost never played my wii and have an insane backlog for ps3 and 360.

Deluxe Bundle FINALLY sold out at Walmart.com?



yep



edited the wiki

I apologize if this question has been addressed already as I've only looked through a couple of pages, but is there anywhere left to get a Wii U Deluxe? Is it worth the effort to go to these stores and see if they will take a reserve in person?

The first one on DS was novel because it was the first 2-D Mario game in a long time, but the fact that the challenge was totally absent hurt it quite a bit. The Wii version was more of the same, but the multiplayer aspect did give it a new dimension that hadn't been seen before. The lack of challenge however was ever more apparent in the Wii version, just to see if I could do it, I closed my eyes while playing, and had no trouble beating several levels. The game was a total snooze outside of Multiplayer. NSMB 2 for DS was a joke, same boring level design, gameplay programmed for a 5 year old, nothing new or innovative at all. I expect the Wii U one to be the same.

The Deluxe is basically sold out everywhere I think.

You could try calling your local Toys R Us and Best Buy stores and see if they have any preorders left. Earlier today someone said they got a pre-order from Toys R US. But yeah, at this point you'll be lucky to find one anywhere.

The Nintendo Store in NYC is still taking preorders, I think.

I went to both BestBuy and Toys r Us that are in the same plaza in LA yesterday and they are both out of deluxe. Toys r us told me they only had 5 Deluxe for preorder to begin with. Bestbuy guy initially told me both versions are still available for preorder and then during the process, another guy stepped in and told me that they are out of deluxe so while I would still call, you are at the mercy of the person picking up the call...

It's been sold out for a couple of days, at least. If you tried selecting the deluxe model as part of the bundle, when you tried adding it to your cart, it would say "Selected quantity not available. Please choose another quantity."

I'm really excited for this one, love the DS games.
I'll also be picking up Epic Mickey 2, Rayman Legends, New Super Mario Bros & Zombi U

Possibly Tekken and Rabbids Land (IDK why but that game always cracks me up not sure that I want to spend the cash on it though)

Chalking up to be an expensive launch day and my console is already paid for

Yeah, it said that. But it said that for the basic model too. You just had to go to your cart and check out. People on other forums were ordering the Deluxe bundle earlier today.

And Walmart has been changing what color WiiMote was available with the Bundle all day, sometimes it was Blue or Pink, or Black. So it's not like they were just ignoring the Bundle page, forgetting to update it.

I hear you there. I'm not spending a dime in entertainment money between now and then.

Sorry to be unhelpful, but I've tried getting a deluxe and the Walmart Bundle was the last place online as far as I know. B&M is also practically gone too, I called like 5 Best Buys and Toys R Us's and nothing. My strategy right now is to hold on to my Basic Set preorder and wait for another round of preorders or something down the line, which is unlikely, but who knows?

I'll probably end up getting the basic set which, in all honesty, with the Wii U's expandable storage both through SD cards and external hard drives, make the NAND size difference not such a big deal. The pack-in game is cool and all, but with the $50 savings, buy yourself a FULL game instead of a tech demo. As for the color, if it bothers you that much (I personally like black a little more), remember you can always buy your next gamepad, or controllers, in black and pretend you have a black console, that's what I did for the Wii.

Then just pull out the white controllers when you have a friend over ;-) As for the cradle and other gimmicks, trust me, as a longtime owner of the Wii, you will have accumulated DOZENS of useless plastic peripherals for the system and a few less might not be so bad. There, I thought I would share that since everyone goes on explaining how the DELUXE is better than the basic (which it is) but forgetting that many can't get their hands on one, plus nearly all of the advantages are replicable, albeit maybe not as cheaply.

But if someone finds out where to get a DELUXE I'd also like to know
