Not for me. I didn't buy one until Super Mario Galaxy was released. Most people I know brought one for Twilight Princess, but I was very much content with the Gamecube version (which is far superior anyway).

Ciao... ho usato GAF come test per vedere se diceva cacate o meno
Non ho idea di chi sia onestamente
I'm sorry guys, I'm not a technician and I had "no idea" of his reliability... what I read was bla bla bla "Wii U is quite powerfull".
I saw a lot of users giving credit to him and used GAF as a test.

I know I was. I remember buying one of those fake Wii TV remotes from an auction site in August or September, just so I could see it up close. My Nintendo-lovin' co-workers absolutely freaked when I brought it in to work one night; they were psyched to see it, but a bit disappointed that I didn't want to take it out of its box..

Fair enough. I'm in a similar situation with the Wii U. It sounds really neat, but unless there's more to it off the bat, I can wait a bit.

Question, I saw on Wikpedia that Rabbids Rumble is headed for Wii U, Wii, and 360, has this been said anywhere, or is it usual Wikipedia BS?
Saying it like that reminds me of all those dreams I had as a kid where I couldn't turn a video game off and was forced to play it forever, haha.
Yeah, I don't know when I'll get a Wii U. I got a Wii that first Christmas, but I waited until the price drop to get a 3DS, so I'm not sure. I guess I'll just get it for Christmas again if I don't have more important stuff like couches or beds or something. I might cheat like I usually do and pre-order it but not allow myself to touch it before Christmas, just to make sure there isn't a crazy rush like there was for the Wii. Pikmin and NSMB are enough for me to get it soon after launch. This is assuming it won't be at a ridiculous price like $400 or over though.
According to the OP there's an untitled Rabbids project for the Wii U, so it's possible. May be usual Wikipedia junk, but there's a Rabbids game coming either way, I guess.

I remember wanting to buy one of those, but my parents wouldn't let me buy stuff off ebay. Good times.

I remember being incredibly ravenous for both the Wii and the 3DS, honestly. Also fairly ravenous for the DS Phat, although I believe I didn't get one until Tetris DS rolled around much, much later. (And now I lost my copy of Tetris DS and can't be sure which eBay copies aren't pirated copies. Boo.)
I'm feeling pretty ravenous over the Wii U, too, but given the 3DS had that whole ugly vertical line thing (which have become permanent marks on my screen protectors, but not necessarily permanent scratches on the screen itself), I'm somewhat content to wait it out until something comes out that I absolutely must have... which might be day one, depending on what the launch lineup looks like.

It's an actual product that was classified by the OFLC recently. That's all I know.

My feelings right now are cautiously curious. Guess I'll see after E3 if Nintendo is all about serious business this go-round.

I haven't heard about any platforms. The Australian Classification Board and Classification Review Board outed the title in early May: http://www.classification.gov.au/Us...VprlFkudLJ6kiXtMCJ5AmVNu%2feZHpX3zQ3%2fm50%3d

I know about Ubi confirming Rabbids for Wii U at E3 and the Rumble rating, I was wondering if anything else came up that referenced the other platforms.
What I find suspicious in there, is that generally, you need years to understand the hardwares capabilities and fully exploit its potential. Just look how 2006 current gen games look compared to the 2011 ones.
Also, not being able to turn off the streaming sounds ridiculous, and totally unrelated to the horse power capabilities. You can still create a thread that generates a 2D black screen, it won't eat the WiiU GPU, and you don't need the streaming output to run the demo. Plus, this sounds as the opposite to the Ideaman rumor about face tracking and the possibility to dynamically level up or down the subscreen image quality. Finally, how is locked? Do you have a fatal error saying "your code is not outputing anything on the subscreen" when compiling? I can't figure that out in my understanding.

The parts about wanting to turn off the display to free up more power sounds very suspicious. Edit: Jackano said it better.
Kotaro Uchikoshi and Chunsoft need to get on the Wii U!

So you save Princess Troi instead of Peach?
It's a Nintendo console: it probably is custom.

What the hell is this? Something called The Lost City - The Jungle by Circle Entertainment and Nintendo, is this a WiiWare/eShop game?
Google didn't show anything.

I'd love to play The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Gateway, and Gateway II again on my big screen TV. Make it happen!
I'm still unshaken in my idea that we may be seeing another GameCube here: custom hardware that ends-up being maximized for efficiency to a very impressive degree.
Also ringing a bell: Nintendo pursuing the hardcore crowd, skeptical hardcore media viewing it with a crooked eye, lots of really good games that end-up being made..
Probably just a sequel to DSWare game The Lost Town - The Dust

Gamecube for the small amount of games won many "game of the years"
Actual now i remember some talk about fixed shader/hardware. 3DS like hardware. Did we ever hear more about that?
Man.. Gamecube is one of the most unappreciated consoles of all time.. technical masterpiece.

Metroid Prime is the undisputed best game of last generation. In fact, I shall start a new playthrough when I go home for the summer

I think among most gamers, the GameCube is looked at now as the brilliant piece of engineering artistry that it is.
wsippel and bg both have some interesting theories in that regard
Unless you head over to beyond3d
Yup! The GameCube was a friggin' treat as far as games goes. If Nintendo can keep the games coming, a lot of us Nintendo console-only gamers (or Nintendo/PC gamers) are in for quite an HD treat.
Lol. I read that.
But it came in purple and had a handle. So that cancels-out all of that good shit, right all you "mature" gamers out there?
/bitter
Yep, some of the most impressive games graphically were on that box. I am still in awe at Metroid Prime and RE 4. Even the lighting system in Luigi's Mansion still impresses me.

Gamecube was one of my fave consoles. Which is why I was sad I had to basically abandon Nintendo for a gen. Still played some of the games I wanted to but never bought the console for myself.

I hope not, I was pretty disappointed with the in-house Nintendo titles on the 'cube.
RE4 is the best game last gen, & probably would make a hypothetical top 10 this gen(with the Wii version).

I dunno, Skies was excellent, but I might have to give the edge to Metroid here.
If it was digital, perhaps it was just a port of some kind? That IGA Castlevania thing for example?

Were you trying to say "Halo"?
I'm sure many people would dispute Metroid as the best game of the entire generation. There were many, many, many fine games that generation. Personally, I'd put Shenmue over Metroid Prime, though I loved Metroid Prime.Shadow Hog
