I'm shocked at you peoples!
So here it is, I have a Wii U! The interface is a mixed bag of convenience and bizarre choices, but it's an improvement over the Wii for sure.
New Super Mario Bros U is, as is a series staple at this point, "the best one yet". I mean there's a level that looks like Starry Night! That's awesome!
The Wii transfer utility... I'm afraid to use it. I really don't know if it will transfer my "locked" saved data. Honestly I think Nintendo should never have given developers the freedom to "lock down" saved files to prevent transfer. I'm really not sure why any developer would think that's a good idea.
Still, so far, so good. Every last accessory for the Wii works perfectly. In fact I'm using the Wii LAN adapter right now (since the Wii U doesn't have a built in LAN port oddly enough).
So yeah, how'd I get one? I never bothered with preordering. I just showed up at Sears first thing because no one else EVER thinks to go there first for new game releases.

"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
