    from what i read it was supposed to work a lot like the DS. you get your info in the bottom/handheld screen for things like stats, health, stamina, etc and it unclutters the main screen. but it causes you to have to look away from the main screen to actually see that stuff, which is the problem with it.

    also only one person can have said controller, kinda screwing everyone else over, which is just flatout stupid.
    Insanity: that which makes things not boring.

    I'm reading $300 for a white 8gb model, and $350 for a black 16gb model, coming on November 18th.

    so 50 more dollars for an hdd that's double the memory of basic set, along with a charger and everything.

    The local GameStop has already sold out of black preorders.

    Well back on topic, anyone happen to have any info on a Majoras Mask remake for the Wii U? I can't seem to find any solid information confirming or debunking the trailer that's been floating around for a while now. Probably the only reason I would bother buying a Wii U before its exploited :/
