Your son's gonna be really lucky growing up and playing with all those games---except, of course, the sealed ones :) ....I loved growing up on the SNES and 64...such good times! ....also great vid! :)
I remember carring the Wii U from the store to my house. The box is really heavy, I bought an extra bag to do the job, but I was really happy when I did the unboxing with my bigger brother, and I still have a lot of fun playing Splatoon and Mario Kart 8. I'm still looking for the black Pro Controller and a complete set of four black Wii Remotes to enjoy even more!!
The Wii U is an underrated console, and I also got mine in black. However, the grey power leads and HDMI etc are unsightly. Everything else I have has black leads which look smart and uniform, then I have the cheap looking grey Nintendo stuff mixed amongst it. I replaced the sensor bar with a black one the first chance I got.
Yea i have seen other unboxings.. but alway enjoy seeing yours so much better to watch and you go in depth and explain.. always will watch your videos keep up the good stuff.
AWESOME unboxing. Even though I don't own this Wii U console I will someday. Also, purrrfect timing with the cat. Loved that as the cat has done in other of your videos, lol!
That's a tough one. You can play Wii games on the Wii U, so if you can afford it, get the U. But I'm sure the regular Wii will drop to $99 or something straight after Christmas, so it's not a bad option. Heck, the controllers themselves are so expensive, that buying a Wii would be like a down payment for the Wii U, you're not losing money when you're buying the controllers.
Tablet gaming is a big thing, but it's missing one crucial thing: normal buttons and sticks. Wii U can really do great things with this. So great, that I'm quite sure at least Sony or Microsoft, if not both, will copy the touch pad into their next controllers. So yeah, it is innovative.
It's only too small if you're planning on buying whole games digitally. Wii U games don't require installing, so the 32GB might easily be enough for just saves and Virtual Console games for the whole generation. Possible GameCube game downloads might fill it up, though.
Interesting- that extra Stylus from the accessory pack is actually the XL stylus from the DSi XL. Probably been mentioned before, but I still thought it was kind of neat.
Dude, I'm in the exact same position as you, I received mine from Amazon today and when I opened up it Nintendo Land wasn't there, I've just sent them an E-mail so hopefully I get a helpful E-mail back, although it's extremely unfortunate for it to happen to you as well and I wish it didn't, but I'm kind of glad to hear that this has happened to someone else and that it could be a possible wide spread problem in the UK.
I think the reason it's getting so much hate is because it is completely different from any other console. People aren't used to it yet but it already has a great library of games.
Yes, ONLY one on DS, Wii, 3DS and Wii U. Versus seven CoDs, five Assassin's Creeds, three Gears of Wars, three Uncharteds and nine NFSs on the SAME console.
How do you figure? First of all, Nintendo invented the "second screen" on the GameCube, with the GBA compatibility. But a full on tablet controller has never been seen, it's not just some PSP to PS3 -link.
Summing up all the developer interviews I've read: OVERALL it should be a bit more powerful, making current (sic!) cross-platform titles look the best (slightly) on the WiiU. While the GPU seems to shine (for a console), in a lot of interviews the (disappointingly) slow clocked (no matter it's later gen) CPU is mentioned. Since Microsoft/Sony are probably going to release their new consoles (which i expect to be at least twice as "fast" as the WiiU) at the end of next year... "meh"
What do you think, should one who hasn't experinced Wii buy this new Wii U, or the old Wii (which is probably going to see a price drop?). I do not want buy this yet, since this probably doesn't see many great games for atleast a year.
Hi finngamer, was the zombiU edition available in your area. In addition to what you have here it also comes with a pro controller and USB cable in box. Cost me £300 :-)
Good to know. I honestly wasn't sure whether you had to use the little screen or not. They'd been promoting that thing so much, it wasn't that clear for the common folk.
So is it necessary to play the game on the controller screen instead of just watching it on a tv? That's the thing I hope Sony and Xbox don't copy because I don't know how I feel about looking at a smaller screen to play games on a tv. Especially when the smaller screen is part of a home console and not a handheld device like the 3ds.
they gave me a download code to compensate - good enough I guess, at least they recognise the problem. What's your Nintendo Network ID man? mine's agorroth
I do have to admit - a Q4/2013 launch (especially Sony) is pretty damn naive - so i guess - WiiU could (and should) wear the "visual crown" a bit longer than till the "end of next year".
Plus the second screen thing was done with the Dreamcast and even certain Game and Watches by Nintendo used it to the fullest. Fanboying is good for no one dude.
Unbox the cat. No i'm sorry it's a part of your videos, and it's very cute! I'm very much on the edge on wether or not to get this machine. I have a PC that's far better than any console, but i love playing on consoles and i love the Nintendo franchises. I'll wait a bit i guess, i'm not very satisfied with the 3DS that i bought, i don't think there's enough interresting games here in scandinavia.
Akihiro Suzuki (Dynasty Warriors): "One of the weaknesses of the Wii U compared to PS3 and Xbox 360 is the CPU power is a little bit less." eurogamer: "While its clock speed remains private, most developers agree it is lower than the clock speed offered by the PS3 and Xbox 360's CPUs - disappointing for many. " Oles Shishkovtsov (4A Games Chief Technical Officer): "[The] Wii U has a horrible, slow CPU," etc. No matter how "good" the GPU is, i wouldn't expect 50% "better".
I have a 1TB external hard drive which was cheaper than upgrading to a PS3 with the most space on it and it has more space too! Externals = more space for cheaper!
And it was the black Premium model? Go back to the store and ask for a replacement. Hopefully they'll believe you, that you're not just trying to get a second game.
@drleatherface although I think zombiu is a great game and I consider it a mistake not buying it, Nintendo land I a great gameto play and its playable value increases ten fold when playing with 5 people. It is definitely not rubbish!
wii u is a load of rubbish along with ps3 a load of rubbish too the best console on the market is Xbox 360 console PS4 is going to be a load of rubbish when the Xbox 720 is going to be way better
Your son's gonna be really lucky growing up and playing with all those games---except, of course, the sealed ones :) ....I loved growing up on the SNES and 64...such good times! ....also great vid! :)
Excellent unboxing. This was my first wiiU unboxing video I watched and couldn't have asked for a better person to watch. Keep up the great work.
Excellent unboxing! I look forward to some more Wii-U related videos/pick ups :)

I just realized how good of a sense you have of what is in view of the camera.
Nice video as always.

You can play many games on the screen. But that's just a bonus, all games can be played on the TV, of course.

Congrats, and I hope you enjoy it as much as I am!
glad to hear youre happy with your purchase. i cant wait for the wii u to hit its stride

Yes, very happy with the hardware, the screen and everything, and New Super Mario Bros U is probably the best 2D-Mario in... 15 years.
It's about the same, the real value is in the control methods.
I also got in on launch but in Sweden! Also got the same games that you got :)
you can put external hard drives on the wii u to expand the storage, up to 2 tb per disc
i love your unboxings finngamer, keep it up!
Cool tattoo, and great unboxing as well. Thanks for the entertainment :)
I hope you do a review video on the system. I would love to hear your opinions about it.
hahaha yeah true! I do love Mario though! :)
I think the reason it's getting so much hate is because it is completely different from any other console. People aren't used to it yet but it already has a great library of games.
Very nice and clear image. I can't stop playing New Sup. Mario. In case you didn't already you must try fifa 13 demo.
Thanks, my sons name. :) You were the first to notice. :)
Cool unboxing does any of it come with Nintendo points ?
Vilhelm! What a great name! And a nice tattoo!
Great video as always, but I think you should improve the lighting or get a lighter colour background for this kind of videos.
Yes, ONLY one on DS, Wii, 3DS and Wii U. Versus seven CoDs, five Assassin's Creeds, three Gears of Wars, three Uncharteds and nine NFSs on the SAME console.
How do you figure? First of all, Nintendo invented the "second screen" on the GameCube, with the GBA compatibility. But a full on tablet controller has never been seen, it's not just some PSP to PS3 -link.
Did you pre-order the console?
It would be cool if you reviewed games too.
Summing up all the developer interviews I've read:
OVERALL it should be a bit more powerful, making current (sic!) cross-platform titles look the best (slightly) on the WiiU.
While the GPU seems to shine (for a console), in a lot of interviews the (disappointingly) slow clocked (no matter it's later gen) CPU is mentioned.
Since Microsoft/Sony are probably going to release their new consoles (which i expect to be at least twice as "fast" as the WiiU) at the end of next year...
"meh"
Hey Finn, will you be getting the Neo Geo X Gold?
What do you think, should one who hasn't experinced Wii buy this new Wii U, or the old Wii (which is probably going to see a price drop?). I do not want buy this yet, since this probably doesn't see many great games for atleast a year.
Hi finngamer, was the zombiU edition available in your area. In addition to what you have here it also comes with a pro controller and USB cable in box. Cost me £300 :-)
Sweet! you'll have to do a review man.
I got my Wii U today in the UK but Nintendo Land didn't come in my deluxe box... what should I do Janne?!
Omg the Super Mario Bros game has been on every version of a NIntendo there is!
Good to know. I honestly wasn't sure whether you had to use the little screen or not. They'd been promoting that thing so much, it wasn't that clear for the common folk.
So is it necessary to play the game on the controller screen instead of just watching it on a tv?

Especially when the smaller screen is part of a home console and not a handheld device like the 3ds.
The console itself does not have Nintendo points, you'll get them when you register it at Nintendo's website.
they gave me a download code to compensate - good enough I guess, at least they recognise the problem. What's your Nintendo Network ID man? mine's agorroth
finngamer! please tell me that your getting Watch Dogs Dedsec Edition?? for wii u?
I do have to admit - a Q4/2013 launch (especially Sony) is pretty damn naive - so i guess - WiiU could (and should) wear the "visual crown" a bit longer than till the "end of next year".
Plus the second screen thing was done with the Dreamcast and even certain Game and Watches by Nintendo used it to the fullest. Fanboying is good for no one dude.
Spec wise, atleast about 50% better. Graphic wise as of right now, not too much better.
how much did it cost here in europe??
Tell me how exactly is a always online console better?
Unbox the cat. No i'm sorry it's a part of your videos, and it's very cute! I'm very much on the edge on wether or not to get this machine. I have a PC that's far better than any console, but i love playing on consoles and i love the Nintendo franchises. I'll wait a bit i guess, i'm not very satisfied with the 3DS that i bought, i don't think there's enough interresting games here in scandinavia.
But it supports external hard drives!! Not to mention Nintendo probably won't release another Wii U with more internal storage.
Nice Ink
hey finngamer is getting a wii u worth it?????
How much more powerful is it, compared to the PS3 & 360?
Akihiro Suzuki (Dynasty Warriors):
"One of the weaknesses of the Wii U compared to PS3 and Xbox 360 is the CPU power is a little bit less."
eurogamer:
"While its clock speed remains private, most developers agree it is lower than the clock speed offered by the PS3 and Xbox 360's CPUs - disappointing for many. "

And it was the black Premium model? Go back to the store and ask for a replacement. Hopefully they'll believe you, that you're not just trying to get a second game.
How come we never got to see an unboxing of the son
external drives are the better deals anyway :)
Why didnt you get the zombiU premium console package? That came with the pro controller and zombiu instead of the rubbish nintendoland..
No. It was none on the Nintendo 64 and the Gamecube.
Maybe talk a bit louder? It's kind of quiet. Good video otherwise.
Would be allot better if you made this video on a white table
@drleatherface although I think zombiu is a great game and I consider it a mistake not buying it, Nintendo land I a great gameto play and its playable value increases ten fold when playing with 5 people. It is definitely not rubbish!
Boy do i love unboxing videos.
i like the tattoo wonder what says
Hauskalta kuulostaa tää suomalaisen lausuma englanti :DD
here we see a typical xbox fanboy in its natural habitat
@drleatherface although I think zombie
That kind of pessimism must be so much fun.
mate you got issues
Bollocks.
wii u is a load of rubbish along with ps3 a load of rubbish too the best console on the market is Xbox 360 console PS4 is going to be a load of rubbish when the Xbox 720 is going to be way better
What the fuck is a "xbox 720" are you on cracking
