The ups of owning a wiiU at launch is the 30 cent games as well as other goodies and being able to play with their next gen console first but the downs are that it is the first edition which usually = has issues that will be fixed in later revisions and if anyone buys the first edition thinking otherwize, then its their fault they bought it at launch cause this type of stuff happens to every console/handheld launch ever |
This is an "issue" that was clearly obvious though. Hence the pad already had the bay for the higher capacity battery.
Nintendo actually tend to remove functionality from their consoles with hardware revisions.
Whether it was shipping with inferior cables after launch (SNES and N64), or in the Wii's case having GCN playback removed first, then removing Wifi etc too on the Wii Mini.
The biggest issue I have had with the Wii U since launch, is the attrocious battery life of the pad. So I'm sorry, but it's an utter insult to me that they intentionally shipped it with shit batteries to later sell a better battery (which as far as I know is now included as standard with Wii U consoles). It's hardly a hardware revision. This to me is the equivalent of "on disc DLC" to others.
If it was a hardware revision, I'd need a new pad to improve the battery life, and I'd be a lot more okay with that.
