I had preordered the pro controller around sept/oct with the coupon at Newegg. They had changed the release date to 12/31, which sucked but I was still willing to wait. Now they are OOS :(

I know this isn't the point, but do you have a game that actually uses it?

Which is why mine is sitting collecting dust... Ah well, I'm sure I'll get something that uses it at some point.

Agree. I quickly cancelled my pre-order after seeing the now 'out of stock' at Newegg. With no demand for it, I hope it goes down in value soon enough...if I ever do care.

I've seen some on shelves across different Wal-Mart and Target stores. I've also noticed quite a lot of Wii Us, especially the vanilla set, at various b&m stores too.

I'm personally having a difficult time finding a place to buy the Hori Screen Protectors. Amazon's oos.

Mine's still sealed in the box. Had to get it with the forced WM bundle. Not sure when or if it'll ever get opened.

Don't get me wrong, the controller's amazing and all its just that there isn't much use for it right now particularly if you're playing mostly single player...

I have been looking for a hori screen protector too. I just don't want to spend $18 for one on Amazon.

Well I have it a shot, I think it's pretty neat but there isn't anything about the WiiU that makes it worth the $350 price tag. I'm going to return mine later this week.

I'm thinking its more related to me playing fewer games than I used to, I was hoping this would excite me more but in the month I've owned it I've only played it 5 times.

I still use mine frequently to check out the miiverse and such for fun, don't have many games yet so not using it much for that, kinda expected to happen at launch at least, I know in a few months when Monster Hunter hits it will quickly become my most played system for a while, so mainly just waiting out for that to launch.

I think I am going to return mine. It has sat in a bag from when I purchased it at launch. If I haven't played it yet... With the backlog I have on other systems, 400 dollars (deluxe + Mario) is better in my pocket. Decisions decisions hmm...

Actually I have played a lot of rougelikes. My point was I applaud ubisoft for making a rougelike and not making some boring generic zombie game which ZombiU could of been. It's nice to see a return of roguelikes nowadays, and just harder games in general.

You need friends to enjoy this thing. If you're sitting lonely in your room right now reading this, then the Wii U is probably not going to be for you. For those of us who have friends and a social life where people come over to your place regularly, this thing is a ing blast. It's literally the next incarnation of the Nintendo 64.

Obviously if you dont have friends over on a daily basis to play the Wii you have zero social life.



Also, I'm posting this on my tablet while dancing at the club. Not sitting on my computer alone like some nerd.

Has anyone gotten Chasing Aurora? How is it?

His point is valid, playing together locally would make this more fun.

You being on CAG on a tablet while at a club has to be be a joke I'm missing or the saddest thing I've heard in a while.

Its a joke saying he is not at home by himself.


It is definitely much funner with friends/ family to play with. Wife and I play scribblenauts

I'm trying to sell mine on Craigslist but it's flooded out there. I have the deluxe with a Wii remote and nunchuck, zombie u, and Mario, I'm asking 400 which i think is fair but I've only been offered 325. The only other two people i know in person who own the system are also selling it. Commercials have stopped, or at least aren't playing where they used to.

I'm sure the system will pick up a year from now, but right now it's kind of barren. With all the money nintendo has, couldn't they have had a better launch window lineup?

No system has an amazing launch window lineup and the Wii U has had one of the stronger ones.

Well excuses don't help. I think they should have put something better together is all, break the mold so to speak. In my humble opinion, the vita launched with good stuff, I was hoping nintendo could match or top that.

The gaming world is changing, people aren't gonna sit on their thumbs and wait for stuff to come around, they want options quickly, they want to consume right now! I don't think we should make excuses for companies not giving us fresh content in a timely manner, we should ask more of who we consume from, especially when it's something like a console. They ain't just selling games, they are selling a brand, they are competing with other consoles, the PC market, mobile gaming, content coming out everywhere you look!
