For me, I've got my heart set on a black WiiU which won't be available at launch, I think Nintendo should make both colours available as people like myself will hold out until that colours release, the only launch game I have interest in at the moment is Zombiu, and later a multi-plat release in project cars, if Nintendo would announce an F-zero is in the works I might give in and buy a White one until the black one is scheduled, or even i they announce a metroid game, what about you?

At the moment I really don't see myself buying this thing at launch. For me to do so it would require at least two of the following:

- Price below $399
- A 3D Metroid game
- A Star Fox game
- An F-Zero game (wouldn't mind if it was a remake of GX)
- A bundled Pro controller (which I would initially use to play Brawl and Mario Kart Wii)

For me personally, I want an HD Wii. Not a WiiU. Ditch the gamepad altogether and focus on wiimote/nunchuk.

Online that doesn't lack or drop. Price under $300.

Plus Endless Ocean HD and GTA V.

I don't think I'm ever going to buy a console at launch again. Wii-U made a very tempting offer with the long-time-coming Pikmin 3, though.

I'm probably gonna pick up the console once a few of these things start appearing on the system:
- 3D Mario
- Star Fox
- F-Zero
- Battalion Wars
- Something with a strong online-centric presence, possibly Mario Kart.
- New IP that interests me.

A price of $300.00 and a killer app that I can't live without.

What will make you buy wii u at launch?

All ther doomz day threads about wiiu.

Also EB games AUS appears to be taking preorders on White and Black. so hopefully that indicated black launching in AUS

As long as it has a 350 or less price tag I will get it at launch

source?

I'd love to buy it at launch just for the hype - I've never bought a console at launch before and Wii U is guaranteed to have at least one or two games that are actually worth having in your library, not just good launch titles but actual good titles. Unfortunately I don't see that happening as I am seriously low on cash at the moment.

Battlefield 4/GTA5/Crysis 3/ Bioshock Infinite in superior Quality + Metroid 4/3D Mario/Zelda releasing within 18 Months.

-Same price in Australia as in America (Hopefully ~$300-350, Very unlikely.)
-Great games I want at launch or in the launch window (Pikmin 3, ZombiU, Lego City, Little Inferno, NSMBU).

I might be willing to pay up to $400 for Wii U at launch in Australia IF it's bundled with NSMBU or Nintendo Land.
