Funny++

Seriously though, it looks like a fingerprint magnet.

This is awesome that he is doing the un-boxing. It shows how much he cares about the product in my opinion. Especially with the white gloves. Respect+

[GiggMan]

Are you saying that you don't use gloves when unboxing a new product?

For shame!

[talisker]

This has a great potential to turn into a meme.

[josephayal]

there's nothing like the smell of new electronics being opened

[andibandit]

At 3:15 you can hear him annouce the new Nintendo HDMI derived standard

it's very clear:
H-CHI-DMI cable

I played the Wii U yesterday at Gamestop. It looked really good. I was surprised by how comfortable the Wii U gamepad felt. It fit perfectly into my hands. I can't wait until I get my deluxe Wii U on November 18.

I know, are we really just a week and a half away?? Seems like only yesterday we had the September 13th announcement followed shortly after with my preorder at EB Games (Canadian Gamestop). At the time it seemed like 2 months would take forever to get here.

Now suddenly we are almost a week away from launch. Can't wait to boot up ZombiU.

[GiggMan]

How much for that one? I mean it has been opened :-)

[wnek9]

probably over 1000 since iwata himself breathed and touched it.

[ninjagoat]

Bout time something came with an hdmi cable :)

[WeAreLegion]

Looks good. I just wish we had more details about it. What is the online infrastructure like? The store? Audio settings? Multi-audio output? Friends list?

COME ON!

i would love to get this system but nintendo never has any good games, they should make another mario64 and waverace those games were great

[deafdani]

Boy, am I glad I don't live in the same dimension you do, because in mine, Nintendo has released -and keeps releasing- several good games, year after year.
