Wii U pre-order updates: Best Buy, Kmart out of stock, Basic Set available at Target
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Following the news that GameStop had mostly stopped taking pre-orders for Wii U yesterday, other retailers are now “sold out” as well.
Best Buy was offering the Basic and Deluxe Sets. Both are now out of stock. The 32GB edition is also sold out at Target, but the 8GB model still seems to be available. Kmart has additionally stopped taking pre-orders for the Deluxe Set – this was the only option listed on the retailer’s site.

[Discussion] 4 Frustrating Message Board Reasons Why Not to Buy Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in Features, Wii U | 0 comments
It’s Saturday, which means news is mostly pretty slow! Instead of refreshing the page every fifteen minutes, why not join the forums and take part in a discussion I’m having about the Wii U and stupid things people have said about it? It’s free and maybe even fun!

Oh me oh my I am supremely upset today. Not about anything substantial, or even about anything that I’d normally get upset over, but simply due to trolls and commenters spewing their nonsense across the vast web of interconnected computers that we call the “Intrawebz”. Instead of brushing this stuff off like I normally do, however, I’d like to take the time to address many of the concerns I’ve read. Some of them semi-valid, most of them absurd, and all of the responses surely filled with far too much distress.
That’s okay though, because every once in a while it is okay to let yourself be angry about silly things. For me, that time is right now. Hit the break to see various arguments against the Wii U, as well as a response to each one designed for maximum catharsis.

Wii U GamePad needs to be inside eight meters for best performance
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
The Wii U GamePad does have a limited wireless range. You won’t be able to take the controller outside and continue playing.
According to Nintendo’s Bill Trinen, the GamePad’s connectivity quality will deteriorate past eight meters, or 24 feet.
“There is. And it’s… Of course, when we’re generally giving limits on things like that, and I think the same thing can be said for the Nintendo 3DS battery life… We tend to be more conservative, because we’re looking at it from a performance perspective. What, really, is the range where you’re going to get the best performance out of that? And you’re going to get the best performance within a range of about… They had a very precise number at one point. In meters it’s like eight meters. In feet it’s about 24 feet. That’s for best performance.”

eBay user selling Wii U for $900, will ship on November 19

This is downright crazy. I’m not sure why anyone would be interested in this, even if pre-orders are starting to become more difficult to place. You’ll obviously ensure that you’ll be getting a Wii U, but $900 is simply outlandish.
