Topic: 2014 poll: Do you have a Wii U?

[Mop it up]

Now that's it's had two holidays, a few more big game releases, a price drop, and a few goodies around the corner, how many people here own a Wii U? I'm curious to find out. Sometimes it feels like no one does, but other times it seems everyone does, weird as that sounds.

All of these NWR peeps have a Wii U. One kind soul here was nice enough to create an extensive list of (almost) everyone's Nintendo Network ID. Not everyone is a forum regular, but many are.

Hm, true. I was also curious about the breakdown of Deluxe/Basic though, and to see who still planned to get one.

We really aren't indicative of the General Public on all measures.

Bias?  What bias?
I'm pretty sure that forums on this Nintendo fansite are a fair representation of the rest of the world.

That is filled with lurkers and other random people who appear and post their ID's and dash. I don't consider that to be a reliable tracker of who here on the forums owns a Wii U. Plus, though that is in the Nintendo Console section, NNID is for both Wii U and 3DS.


I got a Deluxe set post-price drop with the NSM&L U bundle.

I might pick one up after Hyrule Warriors comes out, if a couple more games show up that interest me, but with it's current line up I am waiting for a price drop, Mario Kart doesn't interest me that much, the last one I really played was DS and I got bored with that after about a week.

Got a Deluxe at Launch.  I probably would have been ok with Basic if it weren't for the fact that it only came in white (the demo unit at my local gamestop was a basic, and it already was discolored before the system was even released).

I mainly posted that as a joke since Mop it up, who started this thread, compiled that list herself. Still, that list is actually quite helpful for what is being asked here, especially when lurkers and randoms can just as easily vote on this poll and anonymously to boot, the exact opposite point of this thread. Mop it up posted that list on October 7, 2013, over two months before Nintendo brought Nintendo Network IDs to 3DS. As of this writing, it's unedited. That said, every Nintendo Network ID on Mop it up's list had to be created by a Wii U owner. Any forum regular should be able to look at that list and pick out all the other forum regulars (and staff). It may not have every forum regular who owns a Wii U, but it likely has most of them.

Deluxe Set since launch where I picked up FIFA '13, Darksiders II, and NSMBU as well.

I've loved attempting to beat records, times, and whatnot posted by the NWRers on NFS:MW, too. Brilliant game. Most of you should know me from Miiverse for my #SmashBrosInitiative drawings.
