Wii U already got a price drop to $300 back in September, so I don't see another one being in around 3 years, maybe even longer.

Re: Wii U
Usually from what I can tell price drops of a system don't happen for a good long time; usually they tend to drop (at least for Nintendo consoles) when the console is close to the end of it's life cycle is what I've seen. So the Wii U probably won't price drop until the year before the next Nintendo console is ready to be unveiled. There could be stores that do a price drop; but I doubt we'll see another price drop for another 6 or so years from now though is my best guess. Still; who knows Nintendo could surprise us all.

Re: Wii U
I don't see the price going down anymore any time soon. If you look around you can find one for about $200.
Anyway here a new commercial.
I like how they showed the kid just playing on the gamepad. Also I like how they showed DKCTF and Mario Kart as games coming in 2014. Even though they only showed Mario and Rosalina for Mario Kart 8 and not Luigi.

Re: Wii U
Is that the only good commercial for Wii U? All the other ones are really confusing saying it's an upgrade from Wii rather than it's own separate console. This one specifically says "Wii U is an all new console". Maybe Nintendo is trying to clear up that Wii U isn't a Wii add-on. They also said look for the U on the box. :p

Re: Wii U
^ Yeah, lol.
But there are seriously people who think Wii U is just a controller for the Wii, because that's what Nintendo usually tries to advertise as it's the most creative part about Wii U and makes it different. They should show the controller and new features like Miiverse, Nintendo TVii, HD graphics like they did in that commercial. While I instantly thought it was COMPLETELY obvious that Wii U was a new console when it was revealed, I can understand why people are confused.
But what I don't understand is how nobody confuses Xbox One as the first Xbox.

The original Xbox is a no show. Meaning not a lot of people remember it or want to forget it ever existed. Not to mention, it's lifespan was a joke and got usurped by the 360 quickly.
Whether this is generally true or not, no idea. I'm just guessing.
And I suppose the Xbox One will stand out as the terrible console who got mocked for all it's ridiculous implementations and then revoked because of immense backlash.
I'm looking too deep into this. *shrugs with a smile*

Re: Wii U
Kind of makes me wonder why so many people on the miiverse asks for Minefcraft on a NINTENDO console. All I see on miiverse comments is: "Nintendo PLZ release Minecraft on the Wii U: you can do it!" It's so stupid since Minecraft is technically a M$ exclusive. Herp a derp. <~<;

Re: Wii U
^ Well, Notch recently said (yesterday) that they are not currently working on a Wii U version but may in the future, and there is also a PS3 version so it isn't Microsoft exclusive even now.
So has anyone had problems accessing the Wii U eShop over the last few days? Apparently it's been down since Christmas because of so many people trying to register IDs or something of the sort, although I haven't tried it yet as I don't have access to my Wii U right now.

Re: Wii U
It looks like my Wii U has been hit by the red light of death since the console won't turn on. However I think it may just be the AC Adapter since the GamePad still turns on.

Re: Wii U
Well now, I had posted that when it was down for most people.
@Gameguy
That sucks, hopefully it isn't much of a problem. You should try unplugging it for a few minutes or making sure everything is plugged in all the way into the console. But you could also just email Nintendo about what's happening, emailing them helped me when I was having a few problems with my Wii U. But you'll want to get it fixed soon with all the games releasing.

Re: Wii U
It works fine but the red light keeps coming back every 2 days. Also the eShop has been back full time since the 29th.
