GamesBeat: What's in the box? Nintendo Wii U Deluxe Edition and Pro Controller (preview)

We just got our hands on Nintendo's upcoming Wii U 32GB Deluxe Set, and it presents an interesting mix of the new and the comfortably familiar ... and one glaring omission.

Very informative.

[Gungnir]

I think I want one.

[roblef]

I'm still not that impressed.

[Neonridr]

Can't please everyone unfortunately. Shame, because I think there will be some great games on this system.

[JeffGrubb]

I did not expect Gweneth Paltrow's head.

Old joke is old!

[jreeves82]

I got Mr Johnson's head in my book bag.

When he put on the white gloves was like the icing on the cake

[vitullo31]

I know hilarious right

[Neonridr]

It's weird that all the accessory cables are grey. You would think, especially the AC adapter cable for the gamepad, would match the color of the gamepad.

I guess it would be too much to have white cables match the white console and black cables to match the black console.

Having the sticks directly above the buttons look odd. But I guess that's the only place left to put 'em, unless they want to invite more copycat comparisons to either the 360 or PS3 controllers :p

[stuntman_mike]

Excellent! do the white gloves come with it?!! :)

[momthemeatloaf]

Iwata is a beast

[deantak]

i want one, but it has to arrive before next year.

This system is going to have GREAT games. It may take 3-5 years for some or most of those games to arrive but never doubt Nintendo. They actually know what they are doing , even if it seems the opposite.

I'm looking forward to the Xbox 720 more than the Wii U, but eventually I may own them both.
