I also haz not had the opportunity to buy a Wii U yet, due to getting myself in trouble and game/music productions. Hopefully I'm out of the dark water with the trouble issues, I'm still going to be working on this game for awhile though.
I might be able to afford one before the weather here gets cold, but that also depends on if I have to actually find a new place to live or not and other things like that too.
Will let you know as soon as I get one though... Zombie U looked interesting enough for me to like the console.. I already said this before too but Earthbound is still a product I'd buy.. Even though that "pull my needle" bit with Mother III with the drag queen gypsies or whatever they were was a little odd.
