Ho-ho-ho!
Kinds have been busy setting up the Wii-U the last couple hours (well, by second and I set it up then the last couple hours involves creating the Miis (I miss the old Miis on the old Wii -- it's been broken for a about a year and a half).
Love the fact that the motion sensor bar is so tiny -- taped it up to the top of the TV even though it's an LED and very skinny. The main console controller is very nice; will allow someone to play a Wii game while we still watch the TV (or play a PS3 game). Now, wonder if it has a headphones plug.
Got Mario Kart 8 (bundled) and Super Smash Bros. Honestly, though, probably looking forward to Super Mario Galaxy more than anything. Still the best (family-friendly) game ever.
