The Wii U's launch has not been without its bumps in the road, to put it kindly.

For some, the wait seemed endless, and they powered off the system before the download was ...
Nintendo's next-generation video game console system, the Wii U, will arrive at stores on Sunday and is expected to sell out quickly.

Zynga rolled out "FarmVille 2" on Facebook this week -- but if fans were expecting an enhanced version of the same familiar game, they were in for a surprise. The two versions have little in common.
