Thanks! Saw that BestBuy.com is also taking them. Surprised that Amazon hasn't opened up the pre-orders though, at least not that I can see.

My mistake, Nintendo has confirmed that it will NOT make Wii games look any better: http://www.nintendolife.com/news/201..._games_sharper

what a shame.

Shame. Would have been awesome if they upscaled Wii games. Poor Skyward Sword xx

apparently it is being said that amazon USA is having difficulties with nintendo of america therefore will NOT be accepting preorders or selling wii u at least for the rest of 2012

Preordered the Deluxe set on Gamestop.ca
Kinda sad there isn't a Zelda game for launch with this one, haha. But Skyward Sword is still somewhat recent so I guess I shouldn't ask too much!
No clue if this will sell out on launch the way the Wii did (took me ages to hunt down one), but figured I'd play it safe this time. Especially since it will be the Holiday season (Merry Christmas from me to me)!
