hello everyone I'm Jeff Bakalar for cnet.com I got my wii u today and right now i'm going to do a little bit of an unboxing video for you guys show you what you can expect on November 18th when this launches in North America alright so let's open this up here it is here's the full shot of the box there people really love unboxing videos good thing I like unboxing stuff alright so there's two levels of boxes here first we have Nintendo Len which is only included with the deluxe set for $350 the $300 one will not come with that we've also got a pretty thick instruction manual what seems to be two types of stands here I guess we'll find out what those do in a minute on HDMI cable not bad thanks for including that Nintendo this sort of seems to be some sort of stand as well okay see what else we got a sensor bar that kind of looks like the old wee one we'll find out more about that in the review another stand this looks like it's the control tablet controller charging stand wow there's a lot there's a huge power brick is the largest power brick I've ever seen for a Nintendo console it's pretty massive and then I guess this is the power supply for the charging cradle as well let's put that aside just for a minute and the other box inside the Wii U is the console it's very long a lot of people haven't talked about how long this thing is so here it is the Wii U console itself again you're only going to get the black version if you get the 32 gigabyte version the deluxe version here's the the inputs on the back looks like we got an HDMI 2 USBS a Nintendo proprietary AV out power source and the sensor bar so looks like if you want to do HDMI you do have that option out of the gate that's why they included the cable up front here is the Wii consoles front you got the disc slot and then it looks like there's also two USBs up front as well as an SD card slot so that's pretty good that's the most input connectivity a Nintendo console has had to date and then the one thing we're missing is of course the tablet controller arguably the most impressively cool and interesting thing about the Wii U so here it is in black looks pretty slick let's just do some reconnaissance around here looks like there's a headphone port on the tablet that is neat you got your triggers and shoulder buttons there's a stylus as well and then down here looks like charging connectors and some sort of interface port which of course I will test out thoroughly and let you guys know what the functionality is of that sort of stuff so here it is everything you'll get in the Wii U deluxe set the 32 gigabyte version that will go for three hundred and fifty dollars when it goes on sale Sunday November 18th in North America that's the same day you can head back to cnn.com for my full review of the console until then I'm Jeff Bakalar this has been an unboxing of the Wii U console thank you for watching you
