Wii U kiosks coming to retailers nationwide

Yeah.... I work for a game retailer, and ours was broken (literally) in 5 days. :/ lame

I have a question: If you drop the controller thing and it breaks the screen (presumably because you were dancing around with it like somekind of moron) how much does it cost to replace?

Can't wait to try it. My friend works at our local Target, who was the first to get a kiosk before Walmart or Kmart. He said he was pleasantly surprised by the feel of the screen controller. Now, that may not mean much to everyone else, but he's one of the pickiest arseholes I know, so...If he likes it, I doubt I'll have a problem with it haha.

why the hell is every picture of people playing wiiU 

one of these pics with someone holding the tablet

as a karaoke kinda thing?

STUPID !!!!

I played it at Gamestop yesterday... I liked it. Suprisingly, the gamepad/tablet felt good in my hands. I could TELL it was light (But the kiosk version wasn't because it had, like, a 10 foot inch-wide cable connecting the controller to the kiosk) and it felt well built.

UNFORTUNATELY, the only playable demo was Rayman. (more on that later.)  I was hoping to play ZombiU, AC3, or any other games to see how the Wii U stacks up against the PS3 and 360 visually. 

However, the Wii U "home screen" and Rayman looked gorgeous. And whatever hdtv Nintendo is using (It wasn't labled) on their kiosks has to be the best looking hdtv I've ever seen.  I REALLY need to find out what tv that was... I need it. lol

Wii sUck should be the official name. Tried out the kiosk at my gamestop and gosh I prefer my Xbox 360 and PS3 over this gimmick poo a hundred times over. 

I played it. NOT impressed.

The one at the Gamestop near me was only video demos. It did not reassure me or make me want to purchase one. Perhaps if there were PLAYABLE demos at that kiosk...However I won't drive around town just to find one...that would be as silly as having a kiosk in a Gamestop that doesn't have playable demos.  

I remember when I played N64 a long time ago, before buying, at a video rental.

30 minutes that passed by too fast...

Boy, this is late. I've already played Wii U kiosks at Target days ago, GS is reporting it just now?

People practically live at Walmart so I wouldn't want to try it there...

Though I'm no longer a console gamer (been a PC gamer for roughly 3 years now), I do wish Nintendo luck with the Wii U. Despite all the hate it's getting from trolls, the Wii U does seem to address alotta the issues gamers have had during the 7th (current) gen.

There's one at the Wal-mart I was at today. Could only play videos, no demos :/. You're REALLY not selling me on this one, Nintendo.

Already tried it at NY Comic Con, played the new Ninja Gaiden 3 and had a blast with it. 

But my inner troll is telling me to go to my nearest Target, Best Buy, or GameStop and stand there playing the same game demo all day long from open to close, making sure nobody else has a chance to play it, until I'm torn away by security.

But that would be a waste of my time. Might try it next time I run an errand at Target.

For anyone else who love classic controllers have a look at this you can use these with your Wii and your Wii U fully wireless and cheaper than the official Nintendo Classic pro for the Wii U.

ucks, seen 3 kiosks all with...Rayman??? WTF Nintendo...thats your demo game? It's nice looking but just a sidescroller that shows very little sytem capability

If only I can find a kiosk so I can try out the Wii U for myself.

That picture is awesome. It looks like he's holding an enormous phone.

I tried it, it was fun I just wish retailers clean the damn controller screen.!!! 

A new year shines golden.

I'll at least try the Wii U gamepad. That controller doesn't look very comfortable for an "All Nighting Gaming Session"  This is Nintendo's largest controller ever. Maybe the Videogaming universe largest controller ever. The Gamepad is larger the the ill fate "Duke" original Xbox controller.

What the.. Why not show off the Japanese Garden tech demo and the Zelda tech demo? rrrg Nintendo do something about your public relations this is sad!

Nintendo: "Hey casuals remember us look is the Wii guys.. we have the Wii 2 we kept the name and all for you casuals please buy this tablet thing.

Casuals: "Hu? ...Nintendo? I don't play video game systems *plays apps on phone and tablets and facebook" Get lost!

Nintendo: "%$#@!! ...I wonder if the core will buy this %$#@.. *knocks on core's door* Hi its Nintendo... guys I am sorry I ignored you.. please buy this even do it was not made for you please pick up the pieces of my broken heart"

Core: "Well don't be sad Nintendo.. lets see what you got there old buddy *looks at lineup and odd tablet* $#%$#!! where is F-Zero and Mother?? where is the stuff we have been asking you to make for years??? Mother F%$#r!! *SLAP!!*

Nintendo: *cry* I am sorry I am a dirty wh0$e gimmi  money il suck your casual d!&k!
