Whew! For a second there, I thought that browsing these forums from the comfort of my chair was about to get a lot more complicated. :lol:

Seriously, however, I am a bit jealous of that set up. Some of the GBA/GC "connectivity" games are intriguing, but I think that they would be a lot more fun with multiple TVs.
Honestly, I was quite happy with the two Cube setup, one with GB Player and the other standalone. That way you get Pacman Vs and all the other neat GBA connectivity titles like the Tingle Tuner or the Rebel Strike squad controls. But once I tried Four Swords that way, that was the end of the story, I had to have a full setup. It helped that when I was buying GB Players they were going for $10-20, I still need one more disc though.

I have been trying to get a quad rackmount monitor setup - like the Sony PVM 4B1U, but in color and atleast 8 inches each. But Ive not found one for sale for under 10k...

Anyone ever notice how the GBA hookup to the gamecube is essentially what the DS became and also the Wii U? Curious!

And yet we do not have a FFCC or Zelda Fourswords for the Wiiu. I would love for Nintendo to give us a Four Swords where people can use 3ds's or Wiius to play it. Or a game like Monster Hunter or Phantasy Star Online and do the same. Sadly I dont think we will get that this generation. MH3 is great on the 3ds but painful to play with Wiiu players in many ways.

Just because I'm planning on doing it tuesday, which version of the wii u should i get? Kind of wanted the wind waker bundle but I'm almost tempted to just go for a used deluxe model...

Keep in mind that the Wind Waker one has a digital copy of the game (and book) pre-loaded, not a disc. It does have the special edition Gamepad though.

For value, it's still hard to beat Nintendo's refurbished system price ($200), and it includes Nintendoland.

The NSMBU + Luigi U disc is nice if you want that game (well, games), but Amazon seems to have a number of used copies around $30.

This looks intriguing... it could be huge for Nintendo and possibly the blockbuster the Wii U needs.

Nintendo closing European HQ, laying off 130 employees

So are they shutting it down because they are losing money? Because that does not make any sense given that Nintendo is sitting on a huge pile of cash made off DS/3DS and Wii .

I doubt it's because of loss Nintendo posted. This sounds like it's along the lines of the restructuring they did.
