Wii-U thoughts so far

Are people even sure its a download code? Nintendo normally pre-installs the software in bundles.

That's not true. With the ZombiU bundle, Nintendoland came as a download code.

The Animal Crossing and Fire Emblem 3DS bundles had the games installed the system in advance.

Yea. The 3DS games usually seem to come pre-installed. SMTIV was pre-installed on my Japanese SMTIV 3DS XL as well.

But I think the standard with WiiU downloads has been a code, from what I am hearing. And some news sites are reporting a download code for WW HD along with the Hyrule thing. We'll find out in 3 weeks what the truth is!

I just went and preordered the Wind Waker Wii U bundle.

I maybe did this as well.

There's been a couple of sites that specifically called it a download code. Polygon, for example:

You can also see on the box there, "Full Game Download".

May not be rock solid proof, but I've had the impression from the announcement that its a code, and I haven't seen anyone else think otherwise.

High five bro. Welcome back to the Wii U club.

I don't blame you... unless you already own a WiiU...then I will say, "I like your sass, but you are crazy!"

It is a price drop and an amazing game that looks even more amazing than before. I couldn't possibly blame anyone.

I sold my WiiU because I was disgruntled by the lack of software and anything interesting to do with it around the middle of July (just after Super Luigi U released on the eShop).

That was a dumb move. Hey, at least now I have an excuse to get the one with the nifty gamepad design and a cool looking box.

Now only if Nintendo would let me recover my account like every other internet capable machine released in the last few years...

I can't think of any other company so perpetually behind the times while being on the cutting edge at the same time.

I really miss the days when Nintendo Consoles were powerhouses also.

So, after some research, I learned that if you nag Nintendo over the phone they can in fact transfer your NNID to a new console. So looks like I'll have to give that a try.
