    just dance and ninja gaiden have a upad symbol on the back, but i'm not sure if that means it requires a upad or if it means offtv play. The icon should be a tv with rabbit ears and a big X through it.

    Yeah think that just means the game supports the pad. Probably has the Wiimote beside it?

    Anyone know what Gamestop are like when you cancel preorders? Do they just give you credit for the shop? I put down a €50 deposit but have decided not to get the Wii U now.

    Think they give you it back in whatever payment method you originally made.

    Whats the point in even paying a deposit then, thought you were locked into buying it or losing your deposit

    Gonna ask in this thread as its probably the best chance of someone knowing. I was in Gamestop the other day (Swords branch) and they had a poster up detailing prices when you traded in an existing console (i.e. 3DS etc). However, I've been looking on their site and cant find any details, but would anyone know how much they are offering the Wii U for when you trade in a 120gb PS3 slim? Trying to find out for my brother but wont be near the shop till the weekend at the earliest.

    Thanks.

    So IGN are meant to be posting the Ninja Gaiden review today, I believe. Mario U and Nintendoland on Thursday. think the other games are on Sunday. I'm assuming all sites are in the same boat

    Does anyone know if there are midnight openings planned? I have mine pre-ordered in HMV. This will be my first ever launch-day console, exciting stuff!

    Still no word on Xtravision/Tesco pricing/stock....urgh. Don't know what exactly i'm doing yet! :pac:
    Just realised i don't have a HD TV and only a standard TV so the Gamepad (at 480p) will actually be higher res for me!

    Toki Tori 2 (on the eShop) is shaping up pretty nicely from the looks of things and will be available on December 20th :)

    Saw an ad on the telly last night for the WiiU - it's really getting released... no idea what the game was but the graphics were terrible and it looks like they combined the gameplay of the Shinobi bonus stage with the interface of a smartphone. And I want it want it want it! Must come up with a way of making cash that doesn't get in the way of familial responsibilities....

    Does anyone want to buy a kidney?

    The game was Takamaru's Ninja Castle, from Nintendoland

    i think you just have to make sure you get a usb 2.0 one though i would not be 100% sure. whats the likely hood you will need it day one anyway. the 32 GB that it has surely is enough for the time being

    Aren't some retail games going to available for download day one as well? If they are, they would easily fill up 32 GB very fast.
