Went ahead and ordered.
Never had the Wii (as it didn't have hdmi) so looking forward to playing all the games I've missed such as the Mario galaxy games, skyward sword, and so on.

How do the original Wii games look on a hdtv?

If you can somehow pick up the hard to get Xenoblade Chronicles then buy it.

As someone who already has a Wii what extra do I get from the Wii U?

Great new games in HD, off TV play via gamepad and also ps/xbix style regular controller and all the Wii stuff is compatible. I playback lot of classic Nintendo stuff like metroid, castlevania and Zelda on the gamepad during doc mcstuffins and Nashville.

Ok. i kinda just bought this on a whim there really, little present to myself.....:D

Truth is, i know very little about this. can the storage be upgraded easily...

don't make me regret doing what i've just done!

I'm very tempted now to pick up one of these after reading some of the reviews on Amazon.

If it came in black I'd be all over it (that's wot she said)

Does it include the regular wiimote or is it the motion plus one?

Are any of the amazon.de bundles better offers does someone reckon?

Just got an email saying it's been pushed back and delivery estimate is now 17th December.


Not a good sign...

Does this mean that Amazon will get it by December 17th or it will be delivered to customers by December 17th?

That's assuming UK delivery times, Irish delivery takes a few days longer if you went for super saver.

in my experience when these things start getting pushed back they usually end up being cancelled.

Absolute joke by Nintendo/Amazon at this time of year

If they cancel I will demand they honor the bundle by ordering everything seperately and getting it discounted to £200.
