Nintendo Wii U

[Jimmyboi]

Just curious, why are you guys opting for the NintendoLand pack rather than the ZombiU one? I haven't seen anything of NintendoLand, i'm guessing its what WiiSports was for the Wii.

I'm not.
NintendoLand will be ?15 2nd hand after Xmas. ZombieU will not.

Just ordered mine! Convinced the wife buy saying "it will be our family present....." hahaha fool!

LOLOL! I wish it was that easy for me.

I might just order one then go f**king psycho when confronted about it in any way. I'm out of all other options.

Ugghh.. The joys of having a birthday (next week) and a wedding (next year) to prepare for, as well as a property to plan for financially. I JUST WANT TO PLAY GAMES.

You could say you have been diagnosed schizophrenic, and that gaming is your psychological linchpin!!!

Mrs and I lying in bed the other night:
"Mrs, can I have a Japanese WiiU and MonHun Tri for Christmas do you think?"
"Yeah sure."
"....
...
SWEET."

< 1 min silence >

"How much are they?"
"About ?300."
"oh."
"But you said yes now! hahaha"
"Yep I did."

It's in the bag

I've not been following the Wii U stuff live, but I watched Nintendo of America's presentation. I'm yet to be convinced, with the exception of Pikmin, none of the launch games interest me too much (although The Wonderful 101 has charm). I'm sure I'll get one at some point, but I'll need to see what develops first.

Given what was promised with the Wii, that system was a letdown, although I don't regret buying one because I've enjoyed some great games on it.

I'm going for the Nintendoland pack because the ZombiU pack costs more, you're paying a premium just to have ZombiU in the box. Nintendoland might come down cheap quickly second hand but then it'll be a similar price to picking up a second hand Classic Controller Pro, a device that bar the odd split-screen gamer, is useless for a long time. At most places it's basically:

-ZombiU Premium Pack = ?330
or
-Nintendoland Premium Pack + ZombiU = ?340

I'd rather pay the tenner

So its been confirmed its region locked, http://www.computerandvideogames.com...ock-the-wii-u/

[Family Fry]

Can't say I'm surprised, it's a home console that has NINTENDO on it. Always a sign of region lock.

It's the Nintendo Seal of Quality.

Emphasis on 'seal'

It depends whether you want the 2nd controller. I think it will be more beneficial and would rather have it all in the set without having to pick up bits and bobs later especially as official controllers don't tend to drop in price.

These are amazon prices -

Premium Pack ?299.99
Zombie U ?49.99
Controller Pro = ?37.99
Total value - 387.97

Saving ?58


Premium Pack ?299.99
NintendoLand ?44.99
Total Value - ?344.98

Saving - ?44.99

Zombie U pack represents the better deal as far as I can see but then that's why they have different packs I guess.

The games are the curve ball at the mo'. Can't see the current high prices holding which should narrow the difference. I'm not too fussed about the CCPro as I found the Wii's to be poor and mostly useless. Might as well get NSMB instead
