There are the usual topics here – the pricing behind Wii U, why Nintendo didn’t include more memory, the second GamePad, and more. Reggie also touches on online for Wii U, noting that it will be “robust”.
A few more Wii U tidbits from a Gamestop employee
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
A few “details” about the whole Wii U pre-order cutoff situation (and a couple of other things) from my friendly neighborhood Gamestop guy:
– Nintendo sent a company-wide number to Gamestop’s higher ups.
– Once this number is hit, Gamestop stores get a mysterious phone call telling them to quit taking pre orders.
– No word on what the number was.
– 80% of that number was sold yesterday.
– They expected the last 20% to sell-through by noon today, but it went over by a few hours.
– Wii U demo stations should arrive in select Gamestop stores mid to late October.
– There will be demo stations with the Wii U Game Pad and demo stations using a traditional controller.
– I asked whether the “traditional controller” demo stations were Wii U Pro Controller or Wii Remote, he said they aren’t sure yet.
If you’re still trying to preorder today, call your Gamestop before heading out and ask.
How many of you managed to get a preorder in today?

Inazuma Eleven Go Strikers 2013 comes out in Japan on December 20. Since the game hasn’t been officially announced, we don’t have any details or images to report on at this time. We’ll have something soon hopefully.

The Koopalings aren’t Bowser’s children. So says Shigeru Miyamoto, the creator of Mario.
Speaking with Game Informer, Miyamoto said the following about the Koopalings:
“Our current story is that the seven Koopalings are not Bowser’s children. Bower’s only child is Bowser Jr. and we don’t know who the the mother is.”
Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka shared other tidbits in the same interview as well. Check out the image above for that information.
