A few more Wii U tidbits from a Gamestop employee
Posted on 12 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?

One Giant Theme Park
Nintendo Land is a fun and lively virtual theme park filled with attractions based on popular Nintendo game worlds. Each attraction features unique and innovative game-play experiences made possible by the Wii U GamePad controller. Depending on the attraction, players can play solo, compete against other players, or even team up to play cooperatively.
Up to five players can participate in dynamic multiplayer modes in select attractions.* The experiences change depending on whether players are using the GamePad, a Wii Remote controller or just watching others play on the TV screen.
