    Play Pikmin! For some reason the first one is a lot easier to find on GCN than Wii online. And the second one is out right now for Wii at a cheap price.

    Demo units are in stores. I tried one in Target yesterday. Unfortunately, all it had were videos and no actual game demos, but the main thing I noticed was how surprisingly comfortable the GamePad is to hold. Yes, it's huge, so it may just be because I have big hands, but it fit so well in my hands and it's surprisingly light.

    Not about to splash out on a console that only now lives up to the standards of a gen that'll be done within a year especially when it has zero exclusive games that interest me. Like Geoff I'll stick my PS3 and 360 for multiplat

    Haven't been out to a EB Games or Best Buy or anything recently, so haven't tried the demo units if they're out and about. Will keep an eye out though

    Launch in just a couple hours! Interested in seeing how long the shortages last.

    Are they actually predicting shortages? I haven't heard any hype about the Wii U and I don't know anyone who's getting one, despite being in fairly large gaming circles.

    In the last month, lots of retailers have been reporting they have shortages and won't be able to meet demand.

    Don't know if that's true or not or if they just want to hype it up though. There have been some production problems though, for the European market

    There will be the usual thing with lineups for launch, but I don't see this taking off like the Wii did. I didn't see any commercials for it until a few days ago. I don't think the general non-gaming public even knows about this yet like they did for the Wii

    But, we'll see. Who knows? Can never tell with Nintendo

    Yeah, even EB Games Canada sent out a message saying any pre-orders past a certain date couldn't be guaranteed for the initial shipment. I think a lot of the purchases are from the idiots who buy the system and sell them on eBay at over twice the MSRP, though.

    Yep. There's been a fair bit of that. Not moving as fast as the Wii did yet. Let's see how this goes come holiday time

    The sad part is, even though I know it's totally not worth it right now and I should wait for more games + working out of launch kinks, I really kind of want one now after seeing a lot of the initial impressions. Pretty impressed - I'm just really not too into the launch lineup.
