it is a great system, sales will climb on the release of some of their key franchises. Mario Kart, Animal crossing and the likes will make the Wii-U a must own in the near future

I can't wait for Monster Hunter, Wii U Fit U and like you said, more great titles to come. The gamepad adds a great feel to the game play, now they need to get the better games out in North America.

Wonder how long this system is going to last. If MS or Sony releases a new console next year (doubtful, unless end of year), then the Wii U is going to fall on it's face.

Is the Wii U region locked?

I recall you couldn't buy foreign Wii games to work with a Japanese version, but the DS wasn't region locked.

Is the menu locked in Japanese?

The Wii menu was locked in Japanese. I could get around it somewhat, but it was a pain.
