Finally! A new console has launched, giving gamers all over the world a chance to spend too much money on an incrementally better piece of soon-outdated hardware so they can play games that came out eight months ago. We kid! We kid! That means its time for us to give out awards to the best, worst, and strangest things to happen now that the hardware is in the wild. Weve counted up the ballots, tallied the votes, and come up with the awards that matter most for the Nintendo Wii U launch.

Take a look, and let us know what other categories we should include in the Nintendo Wii U launch awards!
