Go for Pikmin 3 if you already own and have beaten Wind Waker.

Cheers, it was top of my list but the WW decision was holding me back.

Re: Wii U Discussion

I would recommend Pikmin 3 as well. It was my first introduction into the series and I really enjoyed it. It's a really unique game that blends RTS, puzzling, exploration, survival, and time management.

If you have the option use a Wii-mote + Nunchuk because it's by far the best control scheme. The Gamepad is still useful as a map and to set waypoints.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Ah okay, thanks. Yeah, I have a wii-mote and nunchuk from my wii. Does it need to be a wii-mote plus or will a plain one be okay?

Re: Wii U Discussion

Are GameCube games supported at all? I know its not BC with GameCube, but are they available for download?

Plain Wiimote works fine. No Motion Plus is needed for the game, but the Wiimote+Nunchuk combo for the game is invaluable.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Not yet, but after Nintendo's recent announcement of a new GameCube controller adapter, it is likely that we'll eventually see some of those games on the virtual console.

The GameCube's analog triggers -- something none of the Wii U's controllers have -- were probably a big reason why no GameCube games have appeared on the eShop thus far.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Anyone know if the classic controller pro works with MK8?

Yup. Just did it this weekend. I don't know of a controller combo that doesn't work.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Fellas, I need to rekindle my love for Nintendo. Thinking about selling the 360 and putting some cash with it to buy a Wii U. Seeing Mario kart, I want to play it. I also want my kiddos to grow up with Nintendo like dear old dad. My fear is that they won't be able to use the controller as it looks bulky. They're 4 and 3 respectively. Thoughts?

The controller is light. It's not heavy at all. My 6-year nephew uses it to play games, watch YouTube, and Netflix with no problems. I know everyone wants to drop the GamePad to make the system cheaper but, honestly, it's an awesome controller.

Re: Wii U Discussion

Thanks for the input. I like the idea of the gamepad, I just wonder about the size for their hands. I'll just have to find one to try. I've looked over the wii u, never even thought about buying til this week.

I know how much fun I had with the original Mario kart, I want my kids to have that same feeling. Still have the ps4 for "my" games too.

How are they with a 360 controller? That's the size of the Pro Controller.

I'm hoping a Super Smash Bros. Wii U bundle is announced at E3. Can't wait!

They probably won't announce that bundle until close to release. I'm sure they don't want people waiting until Nov/Dec to buy a Wii U.
