Well I don't know if it's just me but Wii games played on Wii with component cables + HDTV definitely look slightly better than Wii games played on Wii U (Wii mode) with HDMI cable. However, Wii U is better if you don't have component cables on the Wii.
Never even knew something like that was available. Where is it located?
Is there an app I need for the U as well?

Super helpful.

Read the details on a bunch of the available ones. I see on the last page there's a grade 7 wii u.. which pretty much means it's in perfect condition but it' missing a couple side accessories. With the deal Cowboom 10, you can get this for about $200 even after shipping. I bought a grade 6 last week and it should be here on monday night. Mine didn't come with the game, nor the gamepad stand but I bought one on amazon for $7 and I don't really care for nintendo land.

I think the Mario x Luigi bundle is sold out pretty much everywhere. It's a fantastic value.
Wii U transfer app is pre-downloaded on Wii U and right there when you boot up the Wii emulator.
Transfer app on Wii you can download from Shop Channel.
I own it, and I fully intend to dive into it when I have the time. But now with school and work, I don't. Going to run through it over winter break.
It's great to play NSMB U off TV, or sail around in WW HD a bit. Very relaxing, and you can enjoy it in short sessions.
I'm not saying W101 is a bad game, because I haven't beaten it yet or fully learned everything. But, I can definitely see someone turning on their new Wii U, only having that game, hitting the learning curve, and then having nothing to really play for a while. Feeling comfortable with the controls can be hit and miss, especially near the beginning.

That's what I was afraid of. I just kinda want it because I have the SS Wii Remote AND its Club Nintendo nunchuck as well as the black and gold OoT 3DS, and it would be cool to stay consistent. As it stands today, all the major retailers still have it online.

It seemed that most places didn't order too many. WalMarts had one or two, GameStop had none in store. Only Best Buy had more than five when I looked.
I ended up getting the bundle at WalMart w/ WWHD.
Thanks man - nice username!

Lego City is a perfect game to release some stress, very charming and funny and you will keep playing this for a long long time. Kids love it too.
NSMBU/NSLU are great games but I get you. You can always leave those for some droughts later. I have to pick up W101, Pikmin 3, Deus Ex, Batman AC and NFSMWU myself. The latter two are pretty cheap.
And welcome aboard, everyone counts, lol.

This is the second troll-free Wii U thread I've read in the last 10 minutes where everyone has been friendly and helpful. 
OP, be aware that if your Wii U is set to output at 1080p and your TV is set to 1:1 pixel mapping, you'll see some thick borders around most Wii games. This is actually a good thing, the image is scaling better so it's less blurry than it would be otherwise. The other thing the Wii U now does (since the last update I think) is automatically display 4:3 games in 4:3 so you don't have to change your TV settings, which is really nice. It displays properly if you clone the image onto the pad, too.

Ah man, you are missing out. It's one of the absolute best 2D Marios ever. You could have just played it sometime later! And I usually feel the same as you -- when a new game in a series is coming out soon, I avoid playing earlier entries in the series to avoid burnout. But I think NSMBU feels pretty different from 3D Land style Mario.
Anyways, definitely pick it up sometime!
Not everything has to be about console wars, jesus.

That's cause the next gen buyers are in the Antonio Banderas threads.
I welcome a change of pace and some challenge in a genre Ive never really been an ace at. I think I'll be okay. If Im getting my ass handed to me Ill always consult the OT.
I think Nintendoland will be a good even-outer until next Friday. I also wanted to finally get my hands on Earthbound because even though i grew up with it I never got a chance to experience it.

There's no disadvantages to transferring all your Wii stuff over. Until recently, there was no way to get surround sound from Wii software, but the last update fixed that. HDMI is an improvement all around, but honestly the difference isn't all that huge from 480p component. The system upscales it for you rather than letting your TV do it, so if you have a crappy monitor, that's a plus.
I understand why you didn't pick up NSMBU, but later down the line, I'd still recommend it if you are at all a fan of the older 2D Marios. Mechanically, it's really one of the best.

Yep. I honestly didn't like the NSMB series much, but this game convinced me. It's basically the spiritual successor to Mario World on SNES. The air spin move just adds so much finesse to platforming. It's subtle, but I really love it.
Picking up NSMB 2 on 3DS soon because I enjoyed U so much.
Oh definitely Ill pick it up. Im not blowing it off by any means. I just didnt want to be burned out =D

The ones who know me know I am not into console wars BS, but you got to admit that some individuals like to shit threads like this in the past.
That's why I bought the system primarily =)
I havent been this genuinely excited for a Mario game since I was 10 and SMW was released.
So far NSMBU is not matching Super Mario World on SNES at all. Not even close.
Does NSMBU have unlockable levels in the world map? Genuine question.
I haven't found any secret ones yet, no. I haven't beaten it yet by the way.
But considering Luigi U adds 82 new levels, I guess they just set it up differently. If they had all that ready right away, they might have made those unlockable.
Some levels have secret exits (red flag pole) that will unlock hidden levels, or give you a shortcut to a new world. Similar to SMW with the keys, but without actual keys.

Huh? Maybe I'm misunderstanding something here, but NSMBU has one secret level in each world. Many act as nice shortcuts in fact.
lyrick

Yes, just like on World you need to find the secret exits.
There's one hidden level per map.

My kids are playing Nintendo Land, people forget that game looks Amazing and it is lots of fun. Personally I have to give Nintendo Land some more love.
Awe shit. I changed my mind. It's close to SMW then.
How have I not found any yet... i've three starred the first two worlds....
Edit: Just one hidden level per world?
Maybe I'm not counting those as secrets? Or maybe I missed a shitload of levels? lol
I don't know, I'd have to double check when I get home. I'm on soda jungle, so I probably would have found them by now. But I haven't gone back to max out star coins just yet.
I guess I need to go back and start cleaning up for 100%.
Yes, it's got at least one unlockable level in the first seven worlds via secret exits, if that's what you mean...and several shortcuts via secret exits.
EDIT: There are 94 flagpoles (including fortresses, airships and castles). This applies to both NSMBU and NSLU.
I think Soda Jungle has a secret levels that also serves as a shortcut to the second castle, and also has another secret exit that leads to a shortcut to the next world (but no secret level I guess if the 1 per map thing is true, I can't recall atm).
I'm tempted to pick one up myself. Something is holding me back. Mainly the fear of buying into a dead platform.
ZombieU is the only true survival horror game to be released in the last 6 years or so (OK there was SH
ownpour). That may be enough to sell me on a WiiU, but for some reason I just can't pull the trigger yet.
Oh yeah, this is my first post so please ban kthanxbye

They actually aren't that obvious. If you aren't actively looking for them, you could very well miss them easilly.
Well that's exciting then
I have some work to do.Splinter Cell Blacklist, Deus Ex HR: DC, and Sonic Racing Transformed are good too. Deus Ex in particular.
