The Nintendo World store in NYC has just got one of these. I expect they'll be rolled out all over soon enough...

Can't wait for one to hit the Melbourne, Victoria, Australia store. The queue will be lengthy!

That's just a high quality video right there.

Me too. Did it for the 3DS will do it for the WiiU.

Best Buy starting this Wednesday

• Wii U Demo displays hitting stores this Wednesday
• Endcap features Nintendo's First Party launch Preorder cards
• Also includes preorder cards for ZombiU
• No word on what playable demo(s) will be included

The screen on that controller looks really nice, seems to be very responsive too.

Sadly I don't have a Best Buy where I live. Hopefully Walmarts or GameStops will start getting them, then maybe I will have a chance to check it out before I get one.

EMBARGO OH GOD THEY'RE GONNA NEVER SEND OUT ANYTHING AGAIN

Your avatar is freaking me out, man.

Someone told me Linky has another active account- is this him?

Gotta be, he changed his Contro account to that picture as well.

Again... After Contro got banned I figured that would have been that. Though I think this profile has also been locked anywhoo, which may explain why he reverted back to his most recognisable avatar same as when Contro got the ban.

Finally! A sneak peek of the only place I'll ever play WiiU!

What did he get banned for in the first place, anyway? Being a racist or something, right? I don't remember, it's been awhile.

@TooWalrus: Hating on the staff I believe, I think it was over Lost Planet 2 or something.

He went on a maniacal rampage, hurling insults at everyone and making fat jokes about Jeff after the Lost Planet 2 review. Hoo-boy, what an event that was... I can't remember the exact specifics, but it was hilarious to watch from a distance. Like watching a tree burn... beautiful, yet destructive.

@Yummylee: ...thank you for that description. It was beautiful. lol, I remember at one point I had some disagreement with him about something (don't remember what it was), but I got a couple of threatening PMs saying "LinkyShinks is very popular around here, you don't want to get on his bad side, because then you're on the communities badside." ...those were weird times.

@Yummylee: The first high profile ban on Giantbomb, wasn't it?

Hahahaha... what, was Linkyshinks supposed to be the Al Capone of the Giant Bomb forums or something? I imagine the PMs were most likely sent by some of the Nintendo Defence Force cronies. I wasn't very active when their... power was its peak, but I remember it was made up of a lot annoyingly stubborn users throughout the boards who often got hostile whenever the wii's irrefutable greatness was challenged. And once Linkyshinks was banned, they all left along with him from what I can remember. Besides Claude anywhoo.

Kinda crazy to think that Linkyshinks is like some sort of Giant Bomb celebrity on here. Sorta like that Biff guy.

Not even close. There were a bunch of higher profile bannings than linkyshinks before that.

Either way, since this whole thread has devolved into "OMG LINKYSHINKS!!!!!", totally off topic from the original post, I see no reason to leave it open.
