1. The console has had overwhelming success of reserves worldwide and today it is very difficult to get a place to grab a Wii U. Obviously if we go to sites like eBay or online stores sales to third parties, we can buy a Wii U although possibly well above its official market price. That is, prices that range from 400 to 500 dollars or more. The seller put the price you want and the buyer decide if it is worth paying the price or wait to get one in store.

2. Queuing is another option to buy a Wii U on launch day or shortly thereafter. That is, the stores will receive a certain number of returns and customers who choose not to buy the console. This is the right time to buy the Wii U without being booked. Everything happens for watch and passed through different stores to find out their plans.

3. Nintendo has promised that it will have sufficient units of Wii U to supply the market, you may not be the first day or the first week, but the company claims as it did with the first Wii console replenishments will arrive during parties.

4. The Wii U is not a complement improved compatibility offered by the Wii with the Nintendo DS. While the new device has the soul of the DS, while the laptop user have both screens in the game and can only play himself, with interactive adventures Wii U charge another meaning, taking into our hands a powerful system that will Involve several people in the same room.

5. Wii U Wii is not just a novelty incorporating a command-tablet. Buyer you decide to have the console should be clear that while the system continues to support motion controls, the interior is totally different. This is the first high-definition console in Nintendo's history and that will be noticed much in the quality of their games. This will make the player accustomed Wii experience a thrilling visual field to match the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, where titles like New Super Mario Bros U are sparkling.

6. Surely soon Wii U will be the target of thousands of visual comparisons between games and the Xbox 360 or PlayStation 3. Before that happens, those who have been lucky enough to try some Wii U games on consoles existing Sony and Microsoft, claiming that Nintendo's new console is on par. One example is found in the version of Batman: Arkham City for Wii U, as the media have been able to test that claim that even visually improved version of Xbox 360. Anyway it is an adaptation of a game that has one year old, so it is still early to know how much give him the new system, although it should be noted that this bodes well, considering that the new platforms usually need several years to show its full potential .

7. U Wii games for now only support one GamePad and now Nintendo will not sell another additional driver separately. Much speculation in this regard, although the company later confirmed that Wii U will support two controllers with compatible games.

8. All models of Wii U, both basic as Deluxe, will come with an HDMI cable and HDMI only. Although the console has component output continues to integrate (a standard which came into operation 60 years ago.) Nintendo can boast of bringing to market the first video game console that completely ignore the typical wires red, white, yellow, green and blue, assuming that an overwhelming majority of the holders of a Wii U's connected to a TV via HDMI.

9. Wii U will be sold in Basic and Deluxe models. The first costs $400  while the latter is priced at $380 s. These 50 euros difference justified are unnecessary because the Deluxe model includes launch games, 32 gigabytes of internal memory (compared to 8 of the basic model) charging cradle for Wii U Game Pad, and a Wii console support U. When purchasing the console, the player should think whether it is worth or not save those $80 .

10. The Wii U can play their old games on the new Wii system, and to make the most of peripherals for games purchased as shotguns, pistols, rackets, fishing rods and more. However, contrary to what Sony did for the PSX and PS2 games on PS3, Nintendo has not announced plans to improve the visual quality of these games, so it will be just as they were in our old Wii.

11. Nintendo has released Wii U achievements in their games. While developers are free to incorporate achievements and scorecards in their titles, Nintendo does not offer any comprehensive tracking system to see the games you have completed or achievements, ie we can not see or compete with other players to see who got the greatest achievements. Wii U releases the player of this slab and return to the old tradition of simple love to play for the games.

12. The U Wii games are more expensive than the Wii, while the new console will have an average cost of 60 euros, the average of the veteran Wii is $80 .

13. The GamePad Wii U can be used as a remote control for your television. Nintendo has put a button on the right side of the GamePad, which when pressed displays a touch overlay that lets you change channels, access the guide as up and decrease the volume and other functions.

14. A major feature of Wii U is that the player can continue heading in the GamePad once off the TV or change the channel. This certainly avoid family fights for control of the television. However, Nintendo says the GamePad may not be at a distance of more than 7 meters from the console in order to continue with the games. This became clear in the presentation of the console, the GamePad is a handheld, so we can not go very far to keep playing.

15. Nintendo has not offered much information about the Wii Internet Channel U as wvii, Miiverse or eShop. We do not know how it will experience in this area, so buyers of Wii U especially interested in the section on online games, will have to wait to see the first impressions in this field.
