Same 
I'd say there's a very good chance we will be playing Zelda tomorrow!

WiiU version was pirated a couple of days ago.
Apparently the buccaneers just downloaded it straight from Nintendo's own servers and got the game key to decrypt it from the people who received an early copy.

Yup, still my Wii U copy came today and I've heard they'll be pretty much sold out everywhere soon so I'll keep hold of it

I wonder if the Wii U version will be worth some money one day
the game cube version of twilight princess is quite expensive lately, probably around £50-60 though I don't think this happens so much these days.

So 11 years on its worth £10-15 more than RRP. Not sure it's worth specifically saving BotW for future value unless you keep it sealed for 20 years.

Aye I know it's not like a money making scheme, I just collect for gamecube and it's one I have noticed really held value for some reason so thought this could be a similar situation.
It's by no means a collectors item really or rare, just one that's held price for that long. Maybe the bulk of its sales were on the WII (though the cube version was the preferred version apparently)
I guess me sayin it's worth money wasn't the right choice of words

Amazon says my copy should have been dispatched today, but doesn't actually list as dispatched. Has me worried. If it arrives Friday it will be perfect as I have the weekend to sink my teeth into it.
Now where do I start with the list?
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is your tough as nails, Dark Souls-like RPG game.
Pikmin 3 is a strategy game, where suprisingly, the best controls are Wiimote+Nunchuck.
Metroid Prime Trilogy, while technically a Wii game, is an amazing atmospheric trilogy singleplayer FPS.
Zelda Wind Waker HD is a beautiful remaster of an initially devisive (art) Gamecube classic and it's Zelda.
Super Smash Bros is a fighting game anyone can enjoy, with all your favourite Nintendo characters.
Mario Kart 8 is best for multiplayer racing, though the battle mode is a letdown. MK8 Deluxe will fix that.
Xenoblade Chronicles X, last but not least an amazing open world RPG that I lost hundred of hours to.
And there's plenty more I've missed.
Buy it now, play only Zelda and maybe Bomberman and then let it collect dust till games release later this year. Buy it at Christmas and you might get a bargain, potnetial console bundles (which I'm shocked that the Switch doesn't have, since they were big on every Nintendo system before it), more games to play and the thing is feature-complete: online multiplayer is enabled, Virtual Consoles is there, etc.
Here's an analogy. It's like buying an early-access incomplete game on Steam as opposed to buying the full game when it launches with all features complete. Sure it's the same game, but it's not quite the same experience. It's the same caveat as with being an early adopter with anything.

Not really as early access games are normally much cheaper when bought at early access stage
It seems what we saw at E3 and other previous events has been improved upon in the time since. The switch version is still better but only just... certainly no need to buy one just for Zelda if you already have a Wii U.

I broke my self-appointed ban on watching any relating videos to look at the comparison. I haven't been this excited about a game in a long, long time. 
I'll be gutted if it doesn't arrive tomorrow now.

Time to dust off my Wii U then
Presumably as graphically not much difference it should run at higher frame rates and smooth as silk on the Switch ?
Both 30fps iirc. Wii U chugs more than the Switch.
