So he gurantee having at least one friend on Nintendo Network?

I love the Black Wii U. However the local launch price is probably going to hover around S$600+.

So I guess I have no choice.

Black all the way. The color doesn't really matter to me, but the extras in the deluxe were too nice to pass up.

 

[Ikki]

Black, assuming I'll be able to buy it outside of the Deluxe pack.

It's a shame they didnt have both colours in both deluxe and budget packs as my Wii & controllers are white, so ti would have gone better with the console.
But I have to have the premium version. It's superior

Tekken Tag Team Tournament is supposed to take up 18gb digital... if you plan to seriously buy digital releases, you're going to have to use HDDs anyway.

If I do buy digital, yes, totally understandable. But at the same time, on the consumer end, they should still be aiming to cater various people and not forcing them (and I mean force in the options listed, I know I don't have to buy it at all if I choose not to). Especially when it's something as simple as, well, color.

I agree. I prefer white myself.

Racist scum.

Black Wii U units are fingerprint magnets.

On one hand, I would like to get the Deluxe package due to all the bonus content and larger storage - the system looks very sleek and appealing. On the other hand though, I find "white" to be the staple colour of the Wii, and subsequently also the Wii U - black reminds me of the PS3 and grey is synonymous to the 360.

I won't be buying at launch or anywhere near it - I still want to catch up with this generation and I'll likely wait for the prices to drop, so I'll have time to decide, but for now, I'm partial towards the Deluxe package with a black Wii U - it really does look nice in this colour scheme, though I'm worried about it being a fingerprint magnet.

Oh? Well, I figured as much... well, that's a shame... Maybe it's white for me then... UGH! I want a white Deluxe!

I'm waiting for the limited Pikachu edition.

 

[Eerpow]

Getting a black one down the line, with a black carbon fiber skin to prevent fingerprints, carbon fiber is pretty sleek looking too. Good thing only the front of the gamepad is shiny.

 

[KingVamp]

White due to availability and money.

Do you know this for sure?

I've actually never had a problem with Fingerprints on black consoles, at all. I don't know why. I just never leave finger prints. I mean, my hands are pretty clean, and I always wash them before I touch controllers and stuff, so maybe that's why? No oil or anything on my fingers?

Getting Black. Wish we would get that ZombieU bunde, I'd buy it in a heartbeat.

It's shiny/reflective, it uses matte material. If you can use a black, shiny surface without making any prints, I will send you $200.

Friendly tip: You might want to clarify the reasons you think things in the future, instead of outright stating them as facts, especially when you haven't even tested it yourself or read a review, and are just speculating.

Not saying I think you're wrong, I'm just pointing that out. This isn't the first time you've done that.
