Yeah, so that's pretty much it, we just had this weekend here the Brasil Game Show (BGS), the biggest game event in Latin America, and guess what, Nintendo decided to bring to its stand 12 WiiUs for everyone to try out!

So I thought I'd share my experiences here:

After waiting 3 hours and 25 minutes in the biggest line I've ever taken in my life, I finally got 10 minutes with the console.

My phone was running out of batteries but happilly my friend KabukiWx filmed everything, so if anyone's interested here is him playing some Ninja Gaiden 3

I tried out Assassin's Creed 3 and New Super Mario Bros U, I wanted to try out ZombieU but the bell rang and I had to leave the stand to let other people play.. There also was WiiUs playing Rayman Legends and Nintendo Land.

I must say, it is pretty awesome. The gamepad is MUCH lighter than it seems, and it magically fits in our hands, it's very comfortable. The graphics are so far amazing, and everything runs 1080p at 60fps, it's simply amazing..

I also got to try Halo 4, God of War Ascension, Devil May Cry, Metal Gear Rising, Borderlands 2 and others at the event, check out my friends channel if you want, he got other 3 or 4 videos of the BGS.

By far, the best stand was Nintendo's, and the only one with a line that covered the entire perimeter twice! I also played Super Mario 3D Land on a 3DS XL and some Mario Kart 7 while on the line (I got my friend to hold my place a little while I went playing).

The entire event was pretty huge, take a look at the map:

There was also some very impressive cosplays, I'll post some of the photos I took tomorrow. Here are some pics from our local media:

Just thought I'd share this, it was pretty awesome!
Awesome dude! i cant wait to get a hold of one.
Oh yeah, the WiiU is just around the corner isn't it? Must have been exciting going to a game show like that. Were I a gaming journalist, these are the kinds of things I'd hope to go to Big Grin Thanks for sharing Runo. Not too long now and we'll all get to try it.

I'm genuinely thrilled that Nintendo is making another console, but I'm not really "hyped" like I was for the GBA or GCN. I'm probably just getting old (almost 24 :<) so I can stand to wait for things better than I used to. I'm going to hold off until there are at least 3 games I seriously want to play. I thought Wipeout 3 was going to be that futuristic racing game (it's something else). So I'll patiently wait on this console. I still have Halo 4, Tales of Graces and Xillia, and the new Paper Mario game that I need to buy (or get as Bday+Xmas gifts).
New Super Mario Bros. U, Pikmin 3, Ninteno Land, and possibly Zombie U are those games for me.
I haven't played Nintendo Land, but it didn't seems that good, not a bad game, but after seeing what can be achieved with ZombieU it doesn't seem that much. I'm gonna wait til' january so I can buy mine from US, my friend is going there and he will brng me one.

I'm specially thrilled with Ubisoft games, they're doing a really good job at supporting the new console. Rayman Legends also seemed great. I dunno, the launch window seems pretty solid to me, but I'm guessing Nintendo will hold the big stuff to show off at the E3 2013.
