For those of us in Central-ish, AZ, the Best Buy in Fiesta Mall has a WiiU Demo Unit. You can only watch a few trailers and play the demo of Rayman, but you can see how the Wii U Gamepad feels. Which, I guess, counts for something.

Might be worth it to check out other Best Buys.

Already did.

Strange that they only have a Demo for Rayman, which isn't even coming out till Spring and not a demo of a launch title.

According to the employee I talked to there is only a street date on the Gamepad, Console, and Games. The Pro Controller will be sold as soon as they have stock. I may pick one up if it's priced under 20 dollars.

I hate you so much right now.

... I moved out of Arizona four years ago, and in that time, I keep finding all this cool stuff and these awesome people in Arizona.  T_T

I'm sure there're lots of cool lizards in Arizona too.

The Gamestop in my town has a demo unit now, as well. The new controller is very comfortable in the hands.


I have mixed feelings about only being able to play a Rayman demo, though. I was kinda expecting something with a little more flair.

Guess they're starting to pop up. I went to Gamestop today and they had one set up and ready to go. Although there weren't any demos, not even for Rayman Legends. Only the videos.

The controller is actually pretty comfortable though. It's smaller than I thought, and the screen is actually pretty good on the controller.

I'm so happy they went with this design this time. I was so pissed when the leaked or faked pictures made way for the remote and dongle set last time.

My main concerns were that the controller would be too heavy, the L and R buttons would be too awkward and the screen would be bad quality and the touch would be bad, but after handling it myself, Only the L and R buttons seems to be a slight issue. But I really like how they put an extra bump below the lower set of L and R button to help hold the Gamepad. I hope they do that with the Pro Controller too. I'm still a little concerned with how games that use both L and R and Z button sets at the same time along with the buttons or sticks. But I'm a bit more confident that it won't be an issue.

As it says on the Rockband Unplugged loading screen tips, If your hands are busy, you can use your nose or tongue to activate Star Power.

Can't just jerk it? It does have gyroscopes, right?
