    Re: Wii U Discussion

    Finally got my Wii U. I was holding out for the Mario Kart 8 bundle, but couldn't find it anywhere. I went with the Mario and Luigi bundle along with Mario Kart, and Super Mario 3d. I downloaded Pikmin and my free game.

    Mario 3D is like crack. I can't put the gamepad down.

      Anybody who is new to the Wii U in the coming weeks, here are about five or six games you have to try out:

      Mario Kart 8
      Mario 3D World
      Zombi U
      Wonderful 101
      Pikman 3
      Zelda: Windwaker
      Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze

      Mario Kart and Mario World are a ton of fun to play with others. Donkey Kong doesn't get talked about much, but one of the most difficult (in a fair way) platformers I've ever come across.
      I didn't really get into Mario 3D World, but I really liked Super Mario U and DK. Those are the only two games I've played all the way through on my Wii U. DK was great. Once I got past the first world or so I didn't notice the difficulty that much. Sure I died a lot, but the game is so generous on extra lives it wasn't like I was going to run out of lives. I beat the game with around 80 extra lives, but I wouldn't be surprised if I died 100+ times. Super Mario U was awesome too. Not sure why I can't get into the Mario 3D World, I think it is because I was expecting it to be more like the Mario Galaxy games.

      I have Mario Kart now and just like all the previous versions, it is so much fun. But after playing so many previous versions it does bother me that the game doesn't have stats in it. Would love to know my single player record, plus little nuggets like how many items I've used, how many times I've been blue shelled, etc.

        I will most likely be ordering a Wii U bundle within the next week or so. Nintendo killed it at E3

            Wii U is on the way. Now I have to grab some games. I have to get MK8, and I think there is a v ocher for another game included too?

            Got 4 games and the 32gb system for $250.

                Well, looked at every GameStop in my area and no MK8 Wii U bundles are in stock. I have seen a couple of Wind Waker ones, though, so may get that and then pick up MK8 as a stand-alone title and download Pikmin 3 or NSMBU.

                  Yeah, just purchase MK8 and register it with Club Nintendo and you can then download either NSMBU, Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3 or Wii Party U.

                  Where did you get a Wii U and 4 games for $250? That's a heck of a deal.

                    I still think NintendoLand is one of the best family games ever created. Here are a lot of videos of upcoming Wii U games. Splatoon looks fun. I wonder how that works offline?

                    Yoshi's Wooly World


                    Splatoon (sort of like paint ball - you have to fast forward a couple minutes)


                    Hyrule Warriors

                      The Power of eBay. I found a powerseller, and just continued refreshing the search by "Newly Listed". As soon as one popped up with a legit seller and good price, bought it now and rode off into the wind. I just picked up a clear protector for the gamepad for $1.99 on clearance at BB.

                            It's probably the new GameCube style controller. They've got them on gamestop.Com.

                              Most of the super hardcore Smash players play it with the GCN controller. They have a GCN -> WiiU adapter. Everyone that played Smash on a stream at some point during E3 was using the GCN controller as well.

                                Ahh, I wasn't aware there was an adapter out yet so made me curious what was going on, thanks for the clarification.
