deluxe comes with nintendoland (which is a pretty fun party game, much like wiiplay and wiisports combined).. generally a really good tech demo to what the wiiu games can potentially do..

also comes with a charging cradle for the wii gamepad, its like the nintendo 3ds cradle

those are the only 2 things that benefits most people getting the deluxe

the other stuff is the E Shop promotional plan where everytime you spend $50 or more on games you get $5 in credit back.. the promotion only goes for 2 years until 2014..

the 32 gig flash memory isnt really a factor.. because wether you have the regular edition, you will still invest in an external hard drive for games


the WiiU OS is laughably slow.. just opening up the miiverse or the web browser is a 5 to 10 second wait from the home menu

also the Wii interface is built into the new console and the transition isnt seemless, you have to load up the Wii interface which takes 30 secs to load...so if you going to play Wii games on this, make sure you really play for long

Virtual Console games have to be loaded up to the Wii menu, and buying any SNES or retro games has to be done through the old Wii Shop.. .. not the new E Shop..

i know it really sounds confusing.. tried to explain it as simple as i could.. in simple words, if you plan to play Wii games on the Wiiu, it will take a total of 1 minute or so to boot up the WiiU and then load up the Wii menu
