Wii U - Zelda Edition: Who's buying one?

[Duo_R]

ok with the recent price drop of the Wii U I was interested in getting this soon. Now the Zelda edition was just released and now I am thinking of getting this.

Cons: the Zelda graphics are only on the Gamepad, not the system. The extras included are digital copies (not physical bonuses).

That said these items are still extras, I own the original Wind Waker and never actually played it. Wouldn't mind playing in HD. And a digital copy of the Hyrule book is still kinda cool.

Who else is thinking of jumping on the bandwagon with this one?

If it was a physical copy of the game I'd be in for sure but being digital I'm staying on the fence at least through black Friday.  The system and packaging looks really nice though.

The top shelf Wii U stuff also seems to be rolling out now.
-New Super Mario Bros Wii U
-Pikmin
-Wonderful 101
-Wind Waker
-Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (soon)
-Super Mario 3D World (soon)

+ a few others that seem interesting but might not appeal to everyone.  Really believe now is a great time to jump aboard the Wii train.

Yeah I think this isn't a bad deal but your right Black Friday should have some good ones too. Although at this point I could always hang on to this from Target and return it if something rolls around that is better.

Also anyone know a good method for me to update shop channel to do a system transfer? I got 4.3 and being required to update to 4.4.

Do I do the 4.4 update and then NAND restore? Or find a new shop channel WAD that won't check my system version?

I would but I don't like the dust/fingerprint magnet that is that glossy paint job (no matter how cool the gamepad is).

I thought long and hard on it, but decided to just get the Limited Edition version of the game when it's released.  I've already preordered it from Gamestop at least so I won't have to pay gouge prices.  Maybe around Thanksgiving/Christmas I'll actually pick up a Wii U.  If you've bought one already though, I heard Target is doing Buy 2 Get 1 on all Wii U games.

You heard right and get 5% off the system with a Red Card

That is really nice I would have done that.  When they said the LE Wind Waker was a gamestop exclusive I always thought they meant the bundle.  When I saw other places selling the bundles I thought the gamestop exclusiveness  was incorrect info.  That seems like a really cool bundle for $60

I believe the LE figurine/game bundle is exclusive to Gamestop. The Zelda Wii U bundle is not.

I just got my Zelda Wii U bundle. it's great! Wireless range from gamepad and console are pretty poor, relying on a lot of factors (wall thickness/material, interference, etc). The gamepad itself is really light too. Gamepad screen isn't bad at all.

[Duo_R]

Well I picked one up. I was thinking about getting the LE of the physical copy of the game but they are sold out! :-(

Oh well I guess it might be nice to have a digital copy always on the system.

[TR0N]

I might in a couple of months since the console had it's price cut finally.

[BlueBMW]

I picked up the zelda edition console.  Seems pretty neat!

one option for you guys... looks like people are selling the wind waker hd download codes on ebay for $35 - $40 so you could just sell your codes and buy the retail game for a little more.
