The Official Nintendo Wii U Owners Club

post #1 of 45
Thread Starter 
It's about time to have "The Official Nintendo Wii U Owners Club". We're growing in numbers & we need to have a common place here at overclock.net to share some information about the Wii U.

The Wii U comes in 2 flavors, the Basic Set (white) with 8 Gb of storage space & the Deluxe Set (black) with 32 Gb of storage space. The Wiimote & Nunchuck controllers from the previous Wii console will work with the Wii U. It also comes with similar controllers packaged for the Wii U & can be purchased separately.





This set comes with all the necessities for Wii U gameplay, plus access to a wide range of online entertainment and features. (Priced at $2.99)

This package comes with everything you need to start playing right out of the box—including the Nintendo Land video game, plus additional storage space and accessories. (Priced at $349.99)

Optional Accessories:


Wii U GamePad Stand


Wii U GamePad Cradle


Wii U Console Stand

BTW Wii U users, Playon is now on the Wii U. I tried it yesterday & had mixed feeling about it. The thing is, it's free (limited offer for Wii U users). You can check the link below.

http://www.playon.tv/devices/wiiu?rsrc=sas#wiiuinstructions

There's also a Youtube video on "How to stream videos to your Wii U GamePad". You can check the link below.

http://wiiudaily.com/2012/12/how-to-stream-video-to-your-wii-u-gamepad/

Ubisoft's Uplay app is also available to download for free at Nintendo eShop.

I'm actually not sure if I'm going to get the basic or the deluxe pack. To be honest, I'm not particularly fond of the deluxe color scheme, much preferring the original Wii white color. I've heard something about the deluxe version coming with some perks software wise beyond Nintendo Land. Like some special subscription to something. Not sure.

OTHER then the color scheme, I want what's in the Deluxe pack if money allows for it. It's not like Nintendo Land is EXCLUSIVE to the Deluxe pack or that I can't get the charging cradle after. I'm mostly just saying I haven't seen anything that is selling me on the deluxe pack alone, that I wont be upset at all by getting the basic pack (forgot to mention, I literally have a 500GB external hard drive that is not in use, so storage space is not an issue for me). Like I said, it's not like I can't get the other perks elsewhere.

Is there ANYTHING that is in the Deluxe pack that can't be had with the Basic pack with some later purchases?

I think you need the motion adapter for it to work.

I like the white (Basic Set) better. I owned black consoles (PS2, Xbox 360, etc.) & it's time for a change. Both my teenage daughter & son like black colored stuff & kinda hard for me to decide at first but my wife already bought me a white iPhone 5 & I like the clean looks so I picked up the white one. It looks cool where I put it in my kitchen. I got to cook, eat & play at the same time (not so sure if this is a good idea biggrin.gif). I also got a Sandisk 32 Gb USB flash drive ($18.00) for added low profile storage. I don't like to buy stuff on eShop as I like the actual game disk itself so I should be OK with this storage. I might add another 32 Gb USB flash drive if there's a new firmware patch coming to make the (2) USB drives work when use both.
