Right, thanks. Couldn't see with the iPad, just showed me the prices and date. Prob my fault though.

If 8GB or 32GB isn't enough, you can use a 3 Terabyte USB hard drive if you wish.

The Wii U launch/window is the most stellar console one is a long, long time, imho.

I've ordered my Premium black wii u (Nintendo Land bundle) on Amazon a few hours ago for £284....with the guarantee that if the price is lower at launch (which I think it will be, I reckon it'll be £250) then that is what I'll pay.

I'll be getting New Super Mario Bros U and Zombi U on 30th November. Was hoping for Pikmin 3 but that looks like a 2013 release now.

Any other game which tickles my fancy can go on my christmas list.

As ever, we'll see, but for me personally it's going to have to work harder than that to get me this time. £300 is not easy to come by for me these days, and games on top.

Yep, the Wii seemed like relatively cheap fun with a gimmicky controller that everyone wanted to play with. And we were all better off. I think every next gen console's going to be a hard sell once the early hype has worn off.

I can only see a black one for £299..... has the nintendoland pack been taken off already?

Edit: No, it appears this is the nintendo land one.. obv they've bumped the price a bit already probably due to orders, it'll go down again as yourightly say!

Also wanting Pikmin 3... I spent hours on 1

Was expecting prices to come in a little lower. Perhaps retailers will start to offer some more competitive bundles closer to launch?

I'm not pre-ordering. Yet.

Pre order and wait for the price to come down... or pre order and if a price does come better somewhere else, then cancel the first pre-order.

Remember the wii saga....!!!!

Also, we are only getting 3 months Nintendo Network Premium. Japan gets a whole year!

Looking at the official Wii U launch line-up I think it's one of the best we've ever had, up there with the original Xbox. There's some great titles available on launch, Zombi-U (The "Dark Souls" of zombie games) and Rayman Legends alone would be excellent but with the other games on top it seems Nintendo have most things covered. Wii U needs racing games though.

Love the ability to play local multiplayer on Black Ops 2 with one player using the gamepad and another the TV screen, I think it shows the potential of what the system can offer in terms of multiplayer and that's gonna be more fun than any online session.

Sorry, perhaps I should have clarified - I'm referring to launch day, not the window.

Now seven titles as COD has now been confirmed as launch day too.

Eurogamer posted this handy guide for those who are looking to pre-order. It looks like Zavvi and The Hut are way ahead of the pack when it comes to best pre-order price

Ive gone for the wii u premium bundle with zombie u and a pro controller from sainsburys! Theres a 10% off code which makes the bundle £296! Bargain

[PinSarla]

Gah, I'm torn. A part of me wants it, but mainly all I want is an F-Zero game and Metroid Prime game!

I'm the same. On the one hand I want a new shiny toy and I really want Zombii U, but on the other hand, I can't justify it yet.

Having said that come the release I'm expecting to have caved.
