Huge day 1 update is a bummer. But hey, if the WiiU doesn't console doesn't malfunction up the wazoo and require constant new versions of the console to be made then it is already doing better than the PS3 and XBox 360.
Unfortunately it looks like a complete gimmick to me and I have no interest in it.
LOL, never thought of that but I can see it now hehe. That was me in the closet with a lightning globe and the camera (and the teensiest little bit of Photoshop).
C'mooooon, it's pretty obvious that the focus of this console is not the console, but the controller...just like the Wii.
Also, maybe Nintendo is following the trend of Sony and Microsoft on releasing a console that will need to have 10 updated versions of the console released over the years to make up for the shortcomings of the first production run.
