Wii U Glow

Does anyone know if the Wii U's disk slot glows like the wii?

I believe it does.
No screens show it nor vids

Well from the pictures i've seen from the console i don't see the glow strip around the disc slot like i did on the Wii so idk. I know the Home button the gamepad does.

Maybe that's how we will recieve notifications, through the gamepad.

That's what I was thinking and when the Miiverse is accessible through phones that'll be another way.

It may seem like a small thing, but I really want a consistent blue glow. I love how that looks.

Yeah that was one of my favorite things about the Wii. It almost gives you the same excitement as when the green light shows up on my 3DS for SpotPass

Then again in the new commercials the Wii U has a glowing power button on the system itself which could be the indicator for Miiverse updates and such.

I hope so. I also hope i'll even be able to notice it cuz of how small it is lol.

Well the only thing more important than blue glow is blue tint, so of course!

I hope it does.

From what I have seen so far the Home button on the Gamepad is the thing that glows. Nintendo did this to put emphasis on the Gamepad I suspect.

Damn I'm good!

ok, from having the system, the console itself doesn't have a "glow"

but when a new friend is added, or you have a call, the Gamepad's Home button will flash.

New friend: 2 quick flashes once.

Call from Wii U Chat: Flash until the call is unanswered/picked up.

That was pretty helpful of Nintendo to differentiate them. Is there a different one for received notification?

That's cool I guess. I would much rather have it on the system but that's fine too.
