The Wii U has been Released

Nintendo released the Wii U today. ToysRUs tweeted some photos of the midnight launch in the ToysRUs store on Time Square. ToysRUs also tweeted that you can buy a Wii U at 8am at a ToysRUs store. This means they have stock. The Wii U is sold out online.

The Wii U is introducing a new tablet controller for new ways of game play. I still do not really buy into that. What I like though is the TVii service. The only problem is that Nintendo delayed the launch of TVii to December.
