    Basically, use this thread to say what your are going to buy at Wii U launch (Apart from the system itself, obviously.)

    I plan on buying a Wii U Pro controller, and I am getting ZombiU for my hardcore fix and Nintendo Land for my classic Nintendo fix.

    You?

    I'll be getting a white Wii U with whatever NINTENDO games come with it, so definately Nintendo Land as that is coming with it and i think i heard that New Super Mario Bros. U is coming with it. If it is i'll be getting that, too. If it isn't i'll buy it anyway. I don't think Pikmin 3 is coming with it but i'm definately getting that anyway.

    I'm the type that buys anything that NINTENDO releases on their release dates.

    - Scribblenauts Unlimited
    - Rune Factory 4
    - Heroes of Ruin (maybe?)
    - Fire Emblem: Awakening (maybe?)

    I don't tend to buy things right at launch; especially if they're near Christmas or my birthday.

    Is Rune Factory 4 a launch game? If so, I'll be adding that game instead of Pikmin3.

    It's a 3DS game, not a Wii U game. I was a bit of an idiot and forgot to mention that....

    The only Wii U game I plan on picking up is Scribblenauts Unlimited; all the others are just 3DS games I plan on getting as well.

    That's a shame, but good news it's coming out on the 3DS.

    WiiU (I prefer white anyway so I'm fine)
    New Super Mario Bros U
    Scribblenauts Unlimited
    Pikmin 3
    Nintendo Land (but only if it's £20-ish)
    And that's about it.
    I'll also be buying Paper Mario: Sticker Star and Professor Layton & The Miracle Mask whenever they're out.

    A Nintendo representative I spoke to at Wii U London, who had great joy in reminding me on a number of occassions that she actually worked at Nintendo. Shed a little cryptic light on the black WiiU.

    Anyway, I asked something along the lines of; "Why have the black console on show so heavily if Nintendo will not release it at launch. Everyone, I know including me wants it in black!"
    She had a big grin on her face and said something along the lines of, Nintendo aren't going to show something that consumers will want and then not provide the goods. (not good business)

    She said quite a bit actually, I took it as they are past gauging interest (know its a must) and will probably offer both at launch.

    Nintendo have said they don't want the same fiasco they had with the 3DS launch. They've got got the games and we've yet to get a firm answer to pricing (hopefully Nintendo won't leave it up to retail to decide), though colour choice is a new game plan they've brought to the field.
    Showing consumers a black console and not releasing it until weeks later will affect sales and like she said "Nintendo aren't silly" (or something to this extent).

    ----

    To answer the thread question.

    I will buy the black Wii U (may get two - white & black).
    Will buy an additional GamePad.
    Two Pro Controllers
    HDMI cable if not included
    ZombiU
    Mario Bros. U
    Scribblenauts
    Game & Wario
    Nintendo Land
    Wii Fit U
    SiNG

    I might get New Super Mario Bros. U, but I have one concern:

    Can you control using the Gamepad, or must you use a wii remote?
