Wii-U thoughts so far

[dsheinem]

My Gamestop had plenty that weren't pre-ordered. I am sure you'll find it everywhere.

This is one of the most anticipated games for the Wii U, there will be plenty to go around.

So Mario Kart 8 is out today? As in I can go to Target after work and grab it...or will I have needed to pre-order or something?

Today is the official release day, not early access for preorders or something.

Yeah, sev just posted it a few posts up - looks attractive.

Are they also re-releasing gamecube controllers?

I picked my copy up at Target today and got a free MK8 racing wheel and a free keychain. I didn't pre-order it.

Picked it up at Best Buy on the way home, nothing extra came with it. Picked up New Super Luigi Bros too, if anyone wants the codes, shoot me a PM, I usually toss 'em.

EDIT: codes claimed

EDIT 2: so far really pleased with the new touches, the gliders, the underwater motors, the new board types (like Twisted Mansion), the boomerang icon, really nice additions without fundamentally changing the series. Excellent first impressions.

Club Nintendo is a touch overwhelmed by the traffic tonight - regularly coming up with maintenance pages.

They also sold out of those Zelda posters...
