NintendoLand, Tekken, Tank Tank Tank for me. Maybe ZombiU.

NSMBU for Christmas!

Pre-ordered the ZombieU pack from Shopto, I might pick up Nintendoland from a local supermarket come Friday, not sure yet

 

[Soulja]

I think I'll be using the £8 I earned, buying my wii u from shop to on Mario.

"Your order is due for delivery between 16:44-17:44 today"

Woop woop

Woop woop

From?

 

[Windle]

From?

I can't say but I'm not subject to normal release dates so it wouldn't matter if I told you anyway as gen pop won't get it as early as me even if they ordered from the same place.

Just got an email from ShopTo:

"Your Order has been packed and will be dispatched with the next TNT collection."

What launch games is everyone getting? Its a shame there is not more first party software out with launch but I understand it. Im a bit annoyed that my ubisoft assassins creed order got cancelled, I aint paying £48 for the regular version.

ZombiU and Mario for me, ill pick up Nintendoland second hand in the future.

COD BO2, Mario, Nintendoland, ZombiU

Should keep me going.

Got over £10.00 credit with Shopto now so will put that to AC3 possibly.

Or keep it for next year, Pikman, 101, Colonial Marines and Monster Hunter all looking like great titles.

Certainly enough to keep us going until E3

*as others, should be delivered tomorrow from Shopto*

...and we're happy we can plug in all the old Wii games and they'll play?

And same goes for motion+ controllers?

 

[bemaniac]

just asked game if midnight will be busy. Looks like I'm alone cos he was like 'oh you're the guy that preordered the wii U' So yeah fun but yay no queue!!!! They said they had a huge pile of unallocated consoles to sell on the day.

Yes and yes.

Wii games do play yes It loads up an emulator to so.

Motion + controllers do work, onsure about normal wii motes as of yet, will be trying this out with Nintendoland at the weekend however.

Won't Shopto post them tomorrow? Most companies will pack them today but won't dispatch until tomorrow so they don't break street dates. Games coming early is one thing, consoles not so much!

It happens

 

[Teaf]

Depends how many consoles they have to pack up and ship, might have to start today if they won't have enough time tomorrow.

 

[Metalface Mark]

I would hope they bring out high def version of stuff like Mario Galaxy 1 and 2, surely an easy port for an easy couple of AAA titles, not having to use the horrendous wiimote and nunchuck.

 

[bemaniac]

Do wii games look any better on wii u as I've only played about 30 minutes of mario galaxy before the graphics got the better of me. Also only played an hour of resident evil 1 wii reissue due to 4:3 mode only and crispy graphics. Xenoblade looked pretty good though I got through that and NSMB was fantastic in SD.

 

[Soulja]

Mario has shipped but my Wii U hasn't. Was hoping to get lucky and have it delivered tomorrow
