    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    CaseyL - Do you have a Remote Plus or a remote with Motion Plus? Is this a mode that requires it? I'm just throwing out ideas here. Have you tried another remote?

    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    CaseyL - Do you have the sensor bar set up above the TV? The 2nd player Wii Remote should be able to see the bar and register with the console. Is it all synced together?

    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    Dave - I feel like the end of the "launch window" (so, March timeframe) will be when the craziness around the Wii U has settled down, the firmware has gotten an update or two, more quality games are out (Rayman Legends, Pikmin 3, and The Wonderful 101 being the top three soon-to-be-releases)...

    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    I have a preorder bundle that shipped this morning but (because of the holiday) I probably won't get it until next Monday. I ran out to my local Best Buy and Target to see if I could score one, but BB only had a couple regular units and Target was out.

    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    Really? I think SmartGlass is a very obvious stopgap attempt to say "see! We can do it too!" It's slow and kind of a waste of technology. Also, what games actually use it in gameplay in a way that is remotely interesting? I doubt Rayman Legends will be on another console because of how the...

    Conversely, some companies force voices into games that result in terrible voice acting that you mostly skip through because it's quicker/easier to read text.

    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    I think the guy who is the head of Gearbox (Randy PItchford?) said the Wii U is absolutely more powerful than the PS3 and 360. I believe he's making Aliens: Colonial Marines and the fact that the graphics look better than PS3/360 and the console also has to stream visuals to the GamePad says...

    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    Any next-gen consoles from Sony or MS won't be out until next fall at the earliest. Personally, I think the PS3 is still plenty powerful and would like to see the current gen extended another year or more before they even announce what's coming up. I tend to wait for games to get cheap or I buy...

    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    Ahh crap. After being really busy this weekend, I seem to have missed out on the Wii U preorders. Everywhere seems to be out of stock, except for the 8GB standard console at one or two places. Was hoping to get one for Best Buy and just pick it up at midnight but oh well.

    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    Well....it just doesn't. Honestly, looking at how they're implementing the GamePads with NSMBU and Rayman Legends, I don't know if having 2 would really make the game better. The fact that the console has to render the image for the TV and the GamePad already, adding another GamePad would mean...

    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    The console is technically capable of supporting 2 GamePads but no games at launch will support it. I think they implemented the ability a bit late and want to delay it a little so that people get used to the idea of having the GamePad before they try to convince them to buy another one for...

    Nintendo announces price and release date for Wii U

    There are plenty of possible reasons for the cheaper configuration, but my guess is that they want to say "Starting at under $300!" in commercials. I'm sold on the $350 unit. The black will go with my Kinect-gen 360 and original-gen PS3 under my TV. I just want to be able to pick it up from...
