Hardware Can you even GET a Wii U this year?

[isaac52]

I can wait, but obviously i'd prefer not to. Anyone got a plan to get a Wii U before the year ends they'd be willing to share?

Well, you have a better chance getting the white one, either by pre-order now (which aren't that much places doing that at this
point) or stay the night at a store before launch day. Contact stores to see who opening up earlier and times in general.

Not this year. I need to help furnish a new room. pay for enxt semester's classes, and do christmas shopping. Won't have much money left after that. Gotta start saving for a new PC after that. So unless I get lucky or I get it as a gidt, no Wii U for me for awhile

If I'm not mistaken I'll have one around February. Have a bit of PC gaming to catch up on first.

i´m going to buy it for christmas,it would be very expensive if i pre-ordered it.

I can get one but no games I want makes it unfeasible, also the region lock doesn't help matters as I have to choose to import or not, I don't want an expensive paperweight or decoration in my room that shouldn't be used as such, I already have 20 figures that cost close to or at $300 in my home office.

I managed to get on the WiiU Black 32GB pre-order at GameStop the other day. So yes, I am planning to get the WiiU.

I have a black Wii U preoder from ToysRUs

 

[The Milkman]

Im probably just going to wait till theres quite a few games I want.

>Sees ZombiU, Scribblenauts Unlimited and MH3U

Well, shit. I guess Ouya is gonna have to stand in the back if the line.


Speaking if games, why do people keep saying the Wii U doesnt have any? Its got a shitton of sweet launch titles, the only shit one ive seen is TANKS! TANKS! TANKS!

 

[mysticwaterfall]

My plan is to go to TRU on launch day and redeem my preorder. If you didn't preorder, black Friday is probably your best bet.

 

[isaac52]

Haven't seen anyone seriously say the launch titles suck, although some people do wish they were better.

 

[boombox]

Wow, it sounds really popular in the US.
Can't say its the Same for the UK, I work in a games store and I can count the amount of pre-orders we have on one hand.

Same here. Just walked in, bought some stuff, and the guy asked if I wanted to pre-order the 32gb model, so I said sure.

I did that on day one . I wasn't even planning on pre-ordering. I'm glad I did though
