Sulit ba yun additional $50 for the premiun bundle? Compared to the basic $299?

The Basic set will have 8GB of memory and includes the console, a GamePad, an HDMI cable, a Wii U sensor bar and an AC adapter. The basic set will be $299.99 in the United States.



The Deluxe set will have 32GB of internal memory and includes everything in the Basic configuration, plus a GamePad charging cradle, a stand for the GamePad and a stand for the console itself, plus a copy of Nintendo Land .The Deluxe set will also enroll purchasers in the Deluxe Digital Promotion, which offers points for every digital download you purchase. Those points can then be redeemed for future digital content from the eShop. The Deluxe set will be $349.99 in the United States.

Hmm..kaya lang aside from the Zombie game, parang wala pa ako nakita na medyo gusto ko. Hindi din kasi ako masyado fan ng Zelda games kaya other than ZombieU, possible Mario launch title lang ang iniisip ko dahilan bumili nito. But if it is indeed true that we might see a possible PS4 sometime between 2013-2014, baka hintayin ko na lang yun kasi ayaw ko din naman mag load ng masyado maraming console.

maraming console = maraming game backlog

...hindi pa daw magbebenta ang nintendo of america ng separate gamepads sa ngayon. dahil wala pa daw games na need or kailangan gamitan ng gamepad ang 2nd, 3rd, at 4th player. pwede atang gamitin or bilin yung separate hardcore controller na parang 360 controller sya hehehe.

[Daniel]

buti pa ito bundled ang hdmi cable

[Malicious_Death]

Tagal ng November!

[VincH]

console sya pero malalaro mo yung games sa tv mo or sa screen ng tablet controller?

[Daniel]

console sya pero malalaro mo yung games sa tv mo or sa screen ng tablet controller?

alam ko pareho. o baka depende sa game. pero mainly sa tv pa rin ang gaming.

[Fantasy Gamer]

In concept, pwede sa pareho, pero most probably depende sa application. Ang nakikita ko concept nito parang DS/3DS. 'Yung upper screen ng DS/3DS, 'yun 'yung TV. Tapos 'yung 2nd screen ng DS/3DS, 'yun 'yung controller. Notably, touchscreen din 'yung controller ng Wii U.

[joey_ed27]

I have a feeling maganda yun concept na ito for FPS games.

Wii U Pre-orders Selling Out Across U.S.
A number of retailers have already exhausted their allocations.

Nintendo recently unveiled the launch dates and prices for its new Wii U system, and many retailers' pre-order stock is now fast disappearing. At the time of publishing, GameStop has sold out of Deluxe units, but still has Basic left to pre-order, Best Buy is sold out of both, as is Sears, while Toys R Us has a 'check back soon to pre-order' message. Walmart is still taking pre-orders for both.

Overwhelming demand? Limited stock? Both?

In Australia, EB Games and JB Hi-Fi are still taking pre-orders for both models, as is Game in the U.K.

While we can't read too much into pre-orders selling out in North America, it's going to be fascinating to see how the system sells at launch, and also how much stock Nintendo will be able to get into stores for what is - effectively - a global launch. Back in August there were rumours about manufacturing issues for the GamePad, while Nintendo's Reggie Fils-Aime recently told IGN the company will not be selling the GamePad separately in North America in order to get as much console stock into stores as possible.

...is it me or parang lumiit ng konti yung wii U gamepad? parang mas naging komportable tingnan at hawakan. or baka dahil yung mga napanood kong mga TGS video mga kano kasi ang naglalaro?

...and mas malakas ata graphics power ng wiiU kesa sa ps3 at 360, kaso mas mababa ata ang ram?

Gamers beware: Nintendo Wii U will be region-locked
The company told famed Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu that gamers in different parts of the world won't be able to play games available in other regions.

Nintendo's Wii U is following in its predecessors' footsteps with region-locking.
A company representative reportedly told famed Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu recently that the Wii U won't allow gamers to play titles imported from other regions. The news was published today by posters on gaming forums NeoGaf. Nintendo then appeared to confirm its Famitsu statement to CVG.

Region-locking is common in the gaming space. The restriction stops gamers from playing titles available in other regions on their respective devices. Nintendo's Wii, along with all of its predecessors dating back to the Nintendo Entertainment System, are region-locked. Microsoft and Sony allow publishers to decide whether their titles should be region-locked or not.
Region-locking is one of the more annoying limitations placed on gamers. And many gamers, including this reporter, would like to see it abolished from the industry. Too bad that doesn't appear to be happening anytime soon.
Nintendo is launching its Wii U on November 18 in the U.S. The console will come in two flavors -- a basic set for $299 and a deluxe set for $349.

Baduy ng region-locks!

Kung lahat lang ng game, assuming may US/Europe branch ito, nalo-localize, I'll shut my mouth blaming region-locking.

[sinkhole12]

question lang sa region lock nito. so ano yung mga games sa DB na binebenta? Diba region locked din ang Wii?

[Daniel]

Meron daw Asian Wii at puro US games lang daw ang pwede. 220v daw pag Asian Wii. Same case din sa 3DS.
