It's nice.

Many said PS 4 is a Japanese product... it is a Dude to say that.

We are Americans... We are probably clever than any part of the World.

We will buy PS 4 which will be made in China and Japan, developed in Japan, its OS is made in UK...This is good. Good for Americans, believe me.

XB 1 will be made in China, developed by Americans, its OS made in USA...This is bad for Americans. Even the dumber understands that.

Japanese don't like or don’t buy XB 1 that many although XB1's online game is the best....That's good for Americans.

Americans like PS 4 considering many comments in Gamespot here......that is OK and you got to believe that many in this forum are not a dude for sure, most guys in this forum are not hired by Sony to attack XB 1, too. In the past Sony Picture used to hire someone to post favorable comments to its movie but not this time for sure.

We are not a dude right...We are Americans...So, buy 4 and let Japane buy PS 4.

It is good for American economy to buy PS 4 although XB 1 is better than PS 4 in some respect.....It is good for American economy.

Remember this.... Microsoft are bad like 95percent comments said and believe it .... Repeat.. Buy PS 4, XB 1

By the way, Bill gates does not donate his wealth up to 30 billions without anything in return and I heard that he ship his profit to Japanese nearly all of it.... believe me. Sony made lot of profit (nearly 5 billion last quarter) and will donate to USA in the future ... believe me.

You are not a dude right, I know, so, believe what I and many in this forum said.

Like mentioned in another thread, 2DS is newly announced. A 3DS without 3D display nor a folding design retailing for $130.

Wii U Deluxe is getting a price drop: $300. This is effective on September 20.

Wind Waker HD's Wii U Deluxe Bundle launches the same day: September 20. All Wii U owners can download the game from eShop the same day, but the physical version by itself still isn't launching until October 4. It's not clear yet what exactly the Wind Waker Wii U bundle includes; in particular, I wonder if it still includes NintendoLand and whether both games are physical or preinstalled digital.

[bluaki]

Apparently the Wind Waker Wii U bundle does not include NintendoLand and the copy of Wind Waker is a digital preinstall. It, of course, doesn't include a Pro Controller like the ZombiiU bundle did.

It does, at least, include a copy of Hyrule Historia. I'd rather have another game than that book.

It's the same price as the regular Deluxe Bundle. Although I'd rather have a plain black GamePad, I'll probably get this mainly because Wind Waker is worth more than NintendoLand.

yeah that actually sounds like a decent option now

Despite the article title, Wii U Basic is basically dead

since the normal deluxe actually is getting a price drop now, i'm not sure if i even want the zelda one

reason? i want a physical copy of zelda ww hd if a copy at all, i don't care about hyrule historia (isn't this also a digital copy btw?)

No true Zelda fans

I also have doubts for similar reasons

To me, the comparison is:
Pros:
Assuming I'm getting both games eventually, it's cheaper by (at most, only until Wind Waker is cheaper) $20~30
In the (unlikely) chance that someone else's GamePad is ever in the same room as mine for any reason, the Zelda markings distinguish it.

Cons:
I'd rather have a physical copy of every Wii U game I get
The console effectively has less storage space because of Wind Waker's install
For controllers, I prefer simple solid colors

I can more easily justify digital content on a handheld system like 3DS because that makes it more portable to not need to transport cards. I suppose my problems with digital content aren't exactly inherent to digital content in general, but with the implementation: no temporarily sharing games, can't trust Nintendo to keep my purchases without a real account system, and small storage drive (with external drives fully locked to the console, can't be partitioned or otherwise shared with a PC).

At least it's rumored that Nintendo might fix the accounts issue, but I doubt they'll ever deal with those other two.

Yeah I think the main reason I'd get the Wind Waker bundle is because I'd like a black Wii U to distinguish it from my Wii
plus a free game is nice even though I'd prefer a physical copy

With Basic being dead now, black is the only option left for Wii U

The only choices are either physical NintendoLand or digital Wind Waker (and digital hyrule historia), with the console itself being exactly the same in both bundles and the only other difference being the GamePad's pattern.

Either way, you get a solid black console, a black GamePad, 32GB drive size, and a "free" game.
