1up - With less than two weeks remaining until the Wii U arrives here in the U.S., Nintendo has finally delivered hardware to the press for review purposes. At this point, you've probably decided whether or not you're planning to pick up one of these new consoles at launch, but we know a lot of people are curious about the system. So we've decided to go old-school by posting a simple photo gallery of the hardware, the games, and their packaging. Wondering about the Wii U? We can't answer all your questions, but hopefully this satisfies a little of your curiosity.
The Nintendo Switch is potentially nearing its lifespan, and several Wii U games haven't found their way over as ports yet.
I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.
The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.
Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1
This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.
They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.
Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
Why don't these wimps tear it open? Someone give Tomshardware a copy so we can get down to the guts. I want suer nerdy details on the specs.
Can anyone tell me if the Wii U comes with a wall socket adaptor (like iphones) for charging the gamepad and pro controller or are you forced to tether them to the Wii U itself to recharge?
I really want my Wii U now please, thank you!
off topic (still wii u related) wasn't there gonna be some bayonetta 2 info today?

I dont get why the internal storage gap between the Deluxe(32) and Basic(8) are that wide. Since the Deluxe is 32GB, than the Basic should be 16GB.
