listening to Japanese language is nice :v: is doesn't sound like garble like other languages. Looks like a very well designed commercial and console. He even apologizes for "Making a mess" :v: the fact that the dualing thumbsticks are on the top would be a massive plus for me, I know that much.
This video is incredibly relaxing
Nintendo is just so lovable, like Valve.
[QUOTE=DaWhatTheFox;38358293]Nintendo is just so lovable, like Valve.[/QUOTE] Nintendo is to consoles what Valve is to PC's. Also I still think Steam on the Wii U would be an amazing idea.

Included HDMI cable? Why didn't others do this too?

Come to think of it I can't think of an occasion where Nintendo have screwed over their customers. Bro company.
I am still undecided if I want to get one or not. Our Wii has hardly been used for over 2 years.

he's adorable
He reminds me of a creeper... Anyway, Kind of funny how AC Adapters are still the size of house bricks. I assume it's also the PSU but they're almost as big as the consoles now Also, the gamepad stand is so retarded. It's basically the same thing as the other one, but why use it when the other one allows you to keep your gamepad plugged in and recharged

He looks like that guy in the elevator in Crank. Scary

Regular stand sits on the coffee table.
This video is triggering the hell out of my ASMR!

[QUOTE=RaTcHeT302;38358767]Included HDMI cable? Why didn't others do this too?[/QUOTE] Actually I'd like to get the console for a few bucks cheaper and buy the cables myself since some people need longer cables and you'd end up with two of them. Of course, if your grandparents bought it for you on christmas, they would probably forget about the cables. About the video: He seems so damn friendly. If he spoke English, you could mistake him for a Canadian (for apologizing).

I'm heavily considering buying a Wii U. I played one at a kiosk not too long ago with my girlfriend and the coop was smooth and laugh inducing in a good way. They've done well, I gotta say.
Everything is fucking grey? What the christ, that's like, not feng shui at all!
Christ that thing is huge
For some reason, when that fanfare played at the start, I thought it was gonna break into the Back to The Future theme.
love how there's no additional audio at all lol. very unusual for jp media. a new trend perhaps
Is it just me or is unboxing a video game console one of the most satisfying things ever? It's like, the box is fairly small but it feels heavy enough and you get all excited. It's even better for portable consoles because you slide off that little protective foam-y thing and there's the console, perfectly shiny and without a single finger print on it (something you will never ever see again, I might add). Maybe I'm just a nerd. :v:
I played a Wii U at gamestop. The Rayman demo was pretty cool. I couldn't believe how well the gamepad was synced with the tv. I don't think it was behind at all. As for the game itself it seemed pretty enjoyable
I like his relatively subtle humour, like how he claims he feels like he is on a shopping channel, holding up all of the wonderful Wii U gear.
I really want one but I'm saving up for a new PC First world problems :( [editline]7th November 2012[/editline] Also how does the Gamepad function? Does it have its own OS which enables you to browse the web etc on it?
