Did I really just draw the "winning" ticket with this Wii U?

A Wii U from the MK 8 bundle I bought on Monday and arrived today seems to have come defective right off the box. No amount of cable swapping - or even TV swapping for that matter - will get it to display something on a TV screen. The Gamepad works fine, but that's moot because without an onscreen image it's impossible to continue the first-time configuration.

Thing should be on warranty. Get onto Nintendo and your retailer stat, and you should get a new one.

That's not the problem; I'll just have to wait an unglodly amount of time for shipping - about 2 more weeks, considering it took 5 days to ship home from when it was bought.

And I wanted this so badly to revisit old friends (from 3.5 years, mind you, with whom I've never talked or done anything much all this time).

This really isn't an appropriate forum topic. Either post it in the existing Wii U thread or on a tech support site.
