We've known since E3 2011 that you can plug any USB harddrive in and use it, along with SD cards.

I really don't care about the internal storage myself, its just that the deluxe version comes with a charge stand and NintendoLand so that makes the memory and loyalty program free, so might as well. If I do a lot of downloading I'll just plug my 1TB HDD into it and be set.

Nah, no big deal. I just have to poke fun at you guys sometimes.

All in all, I was pretty satisfied with the Wii U event. It has an incredibly strong launch lineup with a variety of titles to fit all tastes, even if it is missing that big "This is why you own the system" game right off the bat. Bayonetta was a big and pleasant surprise, and its good to get confirmation of Monster Hunter, even if it is Tri again. Nintendo TV went on too long for my tastes, and it isn't something I see using all that often myself. If I want to watch stuff off the internet, I usually just plug my computer in via VGA. I'd love to have seen half that presentation cut out to get a sneak peak at next years holiday releases, the games they've been working on specifically for Wii U for a while. I'd also like another look at Miiverse and how the online system will be organized, but neither of those features is going to sway my purchase decision in the first place.

The only other thing I want to know is if the games will play in 3D on a 3D TV. I know I'm alone in the world, but I really like the 3D on 3DS and would buy a 3D TV to play Nintendo games in 3D. Oh well.

NA hasn't released an official list as I think they aren't sure how many games they can produce, but the Wii U site has dates of Nov. 18th for the following 3rd parties:

Rayman Legends, Black Ops 2, Assassin’s Creed III, ZombiU, Mass Effect 3: Special Edition, Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition, Scribblenauts Unlimited, Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two, Rabbids Land, Just Dance 4, Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed, MADDEN NFL 13, NBA 2K13, TRANSFORMERS PRIME, Your Shape Fitness Evolved 2013, Game Party Champions, and ESPN Sports Connection

Along with confirmed launch games of NintnedoLand, NSMBU, and Darksiders 2.
