You want to agrue that? Since the midnight openings thing started EVERY console has had a midnight launch, this would be the first one not to have one. You really believe Xbox 720 and PS4 wont have a midnight launch

This happens with all nintendo games, even though a Zelda game sells millions no midnight for Zelda but midnight for Medal of Honor or Borderlands.

I believe the Wii had a midnight launch, so unless you have clairvoyancy you don't get to pull out your tinfoil hat until either the PS4 or Xbox whatever get their own midnight events.

Maybe midnight events are a dying custom now.

Wii did, this is happening now, its a trend that has started a few years now as the wii has died down in popularity. Vita got a midnight opening. 3DS did not.

Maybe its due  to the day it launched? Which is Sunday?

Whatever the case half a day can't temper the Excitment I won't have it until Wednesday or Fri anyway so all my software should be here for Thanksgiving weekend, and I won't be buying anything on black friday either  Halo 4 to start $45, then Wii U Deluxe Zombie U, pro Controller bundle Walmart $516.53 shipped Assaassin's Creed III U $48, And super Mario U$48,   thats enough! I might buy a few things off the Eshop.

I guess that's just my nice way of putting it.  Truth be told, I signed for a loan for my mother a few years back, supposedly to pay for my grandmother's funeral expenses. Lets just say I discovered a lot of crazy shit about her this past year.  She's wronged a good many people and lost her job.  Now I'm working a second job on Saturdays and Sundays to pay off this loan.


Jeez, didn't mean to tell everything like this, but that's how it is for me now.

You are a Saint Travo.  My family is a pressure, but not in that way.  It will come around in your favor at some point.

First Wii U games reviews from some magazine

That's promising. Good safe scores. Pretty much what I was expecting out of both games. Zombie U is really the big wildcard out there. I could see that getting a score in the low 90% range, and possibly as low as in the 60% range. That Revo reviewer for instance didn't seem to get that looking down at the pad and away from the screen was intentional and there to put you in a specifically difficult spot. Can't wait to see the scores of the remakes too, and find out if the enahncements really change anything or not.

Did anyone see Foward Until Dawn, the live action Halo show that leads into Halo 4. Its really freaking cool. I want a Halo movie.

Darksiders II sales below expectations

Hate to say it, but no surprise here. I know Darksiders 1 did well enough to warrant the sequel but I don't know anyone who bought the original at launch. I swear virtually everyone I know who got it picked it up when it hit hobo level pricing. This seemed very much like de Blob (another sequel that tanked for THQ), where it was a game that grabbed additional sales because it was early in the systems launch and showed up during a slow period or got a boost after a price drop. Oh well, seems like the game still grabbed respectable sales, but just not the kind that justified the length and expense of its development.
