Wii-U thoughts so far

I get points at Amazon, giving me even less incentive to go to brick & mortar.

That copy of NSMB is going to be very sad on the shelf without a home to play in.

Chase rewards are divine, yes?

3% on Amazon purchases, 2% on a class of purchases I can't remember, and 1% on everything else for no annual fee and no reward limits? Fuck yeah!

Yup. It's totally worth it, imho.

I've seen a few ads on CL where people are trying to sell their systems for $500/$600. F'ing speculators, I hope they lose money.

I saw one on my CL earlier and some fool must have bought it, because it's not up there anymore.

PornHub loaded but wouldn't play videos. YouTube videos play though, so I'm sure some porn somewhere does. The browser allows you to keep the "curtains" closed on your TV while you find sites on the GamePad. So sit some unsuspecting friends down, look up that porn, then voila, open the curtains. Forced to watch porn due to Wii U... classic

I was joking, but that idea is pretty good. I can see it now, dropping two girls one cup on friends for no reason...

I told you guys Wii-U was well behind the times.

Lol as pathetic as we are talking about porn.. People admit on Neogaf all the time that they use the PS3 browser due to being able to view pornhub on an HDTV as opposed to a laptop/PC..

Dude, that would be fucked up yet hilarious.... (don't even say what I know hat ou guys are gonna say about me commenting on a 2g1c joke..)

Geez you guys.

The system is actually pretty sold out in my area. Most stores have none. The only places that have any are Target stores and their supplies are limited. But most places are entirely sold out otherwise.

MiiVerse has been pretty awesome so far. I'm really enjoying drawing something representative of what I was doing or feeling. Pretty fun.

Also ... yeah the browser doesn't support flash at all. So it's got to be an HTML5 video player to work. Quick duck search: http://gigaom.com/video/youporn-goes-ht ... -the-ipad/

I'd love this thing for local multiplayer, but the gamepad is bit too precious item for that. I can imagine a lot of really scratched up gamepads to exist in year or two. Really appreciate Nintendo for focusing on this that feature, it's all online multiplayer for most else these days. Nintendo Land looks perfect to play with about anybody. Wiimote support is great as well, I think it is actually very successful and legit way of gaming control. With a gamepad, few wiimote&nunchaku and even the microphone or balance board you could designs some crazy party games.
