If anyone is looking for an external hard drive to use with wii U, you might want to think about one that matches visually:

Western Digital "MyBook" 1TB external Hard Drive?

Funny shit...that's the same one I just bought to transfer all my shit to my new PC. lol

I plan on using it for the Wii U afterwards.

Only the memory is different and the gap is only 24 gb, you can buy a shedload of cheaper memory either in SD card or external usb hard drive and just buy Nintendoland separately if you wanted. I would buy the basic if they had it black but I just want the black colour because otherwise the console looks too similar to the original wii.

Has it been confirmed that you can install and run games on an external drive?

EShops games, yeah. Full games i.e digital versions of retail releases? No idea. I buy discs anyway, I like physical copies of games and boxes.

Theoretically you should be able to run full games off an external HDD as USB 2.0 data transfer speeds are comparable if not better than some disc drives.

Yeah I'm going to get the premium model. Sure the memory difference alone may not be worth the $50 but with Nintendo Land, the future discount offers, and the other pack-ins it just seems to be the much better deal imo.

Yeah I wouldn't mind Nintendo Land as it looks pretty fun. I'm not sure if I'd get it on it's own for $40 or $50 but thrown in as a pack-in with everything else makes it a nice bonus. Even if I only played it for a week that'd be good enough for me. With so many great games to play these days I don't feel too compelled to have to spend a certain length of time with every game I play.

I will play it. Some games look fun and others look like they need to be played to get it. If nothing else it looks like something.I can play with the family.

I wish Ass Creed 3 was at launch. I'm basically left with mario u, rayman and zombi u and I think zombi u will kick my ass and mario u will be cool but not the sort of thing which uses the console features greatly.

Retro have been rumoured to be working with Epic in some form for ages now. There have been rumours of unreal engine 3 metroid and zelda made by retro.

This is my Wii U launch lineup:

nintendo-wii-u-deluxe-set-release-date-price-news-1.jpg

images?q=tbn:ANd9GcSLJP5nPLdPqbqb8c5P-OqpIe1NlGK7nlJaijHWYEu1kTWsKoDEbSCb-nq6Assassins_Creed_3_wii_u_box_art.jpg 11222a.jpg darksiders_2_wii_u_box_art.jpg call-of-duty-black-ops-2-wii-u-box-art-256x360.jpg   

The amazing thing? The best launch lineup ever, and I'm not even getting a Nintendo published game.

I don't see how anyone could complain about the launch.

Best launch lineup is still dream cast. One of the greatest fighting games of all time. A brand new amazing sonic. The best football game at the time.  All new games, insane graphics.
