Just bought a Wii U. Surprisingly, there were no shortages.

Had a WiiU earlier this year, gave it to my little cousin. I thought i'd be okay because i'm part of the PC master race anyways (stalker/misery 2.0 is all I need). But just yesterday I bought myself another WiiU (the Windwaker edition), ZombieU and will buy Pikim 3 and Mario3d world next week. Although my PC serves me well, i just like Nintendo games.
I do have one question for all you peeps out there though. Why hasn't there even been an attempt to get "the incredible machine" game on either the Wii or WiiU? I strongly believe that game would do awesome numbers and it fits perfectly with both control schemes (gamepad and wiimote).

ZombiU is an awesome game, very tense, always wondering what's around the corner.
I Hadn't played a pikmin game before Pikmn 3 either and I love Pikmin 3 it's one of my favorites I keep coming back to it especially with the dlc, It gets a little addictive trying to get a better score or the next medal.
W101 is a great game plenty of action, not sure it's for everyone though. There's a demo on the eShop you can try out, but the demo doesn't do a good job of showcasing the game and might make it seem a bit frustrating to you, but the game is absolutely fantastic I love it.
I think Animal Crossing comes next year when they close the AC plaza. I wouldn't mind seeing a new Luigi's Mansion here could be very fun. And yes we absolutely need another F-Zero.
Like I said in my reply to LB I had never played a Pikmin game before either and I've enjoyed Pikmin 3 very much.
Yep the Pikmin series is awesome.
I wasn't thrill about W101 at 1st either (heard the demo isn't that good) but once you get into it everything gels and it becomes an unique fun game with great production values. It is well worth it and it is very long for the type of the game that it is.
I've been wondering this for a long time. I'm not sure if anyone owns that series anymore.
Welcome to the PC/WiiU club! It's the best club around.
PS4/WiiU, Xbone/WiiU are still solid combos though!

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
No cause it isn't a price drop. It is just a GameStop sale.
The flier shows it as a "price drop" and not a sale. Confusing.
A lot of new Wii U owners post here, and I like that. I wish new Vita owners would keep to one thread instead of making a new one for each purchase lol. This thread also seems to be a good place to talk about Wii U things all around.
Holidays I'm sure I'll be getting The Wonderful 101 and Sonic Lost World as presents.

Guys, honestly. I loved, LOVVVVVED VJ. Bayonetta is probably my favorite beat 'em up. Wonderful 101 demo turned me off hardcore and I don't know why
Trust in Kamiya, my friend, he will not lead you astray.

Got the GameStop email for this week. They have it relisted as a price drop.
In last weeks ad it was a sale. Ergo the confusion.
Let us know GAF what the current eshop price for Monster Hunter is!!
Pickin up Wind Waker HDizzles and a Pro C on Friday. Looking forward to romping through it again. I haven't played it in about ten years or more so the the majority of the details of the game are fuzzy to me for the most part.
Highly, highly excited to take assloads of selfies and environment pics and upload them to Miiverse.

There's a lot of great ideas or games that would be a great fit for the Wii U that aren't made. Like Dungeons & Dragons (local MP with the Dungeon Master on the GamePad), Mario Paint, RTS games, a 3D Breakout game with the GamePad acting as the paddle,...
http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=500865got a wii u last week too
only have two gripes so far:
1. no support for the gamepad as actual game controller in wii mode.
2. no surround sound (setup: wii u - hdmi - tv - optical out - sound system).
guess there is no workaround for both ;(
already saw that thread. i wont buy an av receiver just for the wii.
I don't know what you need or if that helps but an update added the possibility to get sound via composite/component cables while sending video through hdmi.
Sounds like the FedEx employees are getting their U on.
"Wii F@#$ U"
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate WiiU did indeed get a price drop in its retail disc form.
MH3U WiiU was retailing for $59.99, but has permanently price dropped down to $39.99 (at least for Gamestop stores). I talked to a few Gamestop store managers, to make sure that the pricing in the ad was correct. It is currently 'on sale for $19.99', so its reduced from $39 to $19 for this ad duration. Stock was very limited here in the nearby bay area stores.
I am looking at the WiiU eshop channel (as of Dec 11th) and a download copy of MH3U is still listed for $59.99, for those interested. Cheaper to go with the retail disc copy for now.
ya just read that - but i´m a bit confused what works where:
if i buy old wii component cables i can plug those directly into my audio amp and get surround sound in both wii u and wii mode?
some posts are talking about zombi u .. some posts say only wii mode. :-/
[edit]
guess not after some more reading - but i would appreciate it if someone can still clarify it.
got a wii u last week too

I feel that this will never happen. Not because of needing to tweak the Wii games, but because it'll be one less bullet point for VC games and potential HD remasters. Then again, it'll be another bullet point for the console itself. "No need to rebuy your old Wii games. You can still use the new Wii U GamePad to play them"
If they were to add button support, it would be in the form of an emulated classic controller anyway and there would be no reprogramming of any games required since it would obviously still require Wiimote for Wiimote-only games.
Man I want WWHD too son. Ugh! Zelda fever.
I'm getting a bluetooth dongle and wiimote+ and nunchuk on friday so I can play through skyward sword on my dolphin. I need dem glorious HD tex.

Ok, I bought a PS4 and Xbox one. Picked up around 8 games for them and I am bored of them. I am going through a phase where I'm just bored of multiplayer games, which is what the majority of launch titles are for those consoles.
So I ordered a Wii u with wind waker, I got Super Mario 3d, super mario bros, monster hunter, pikmin and zombie u. Any other suggestions?
Also I fancy playing SMG, do I need a wii remote?

Ryse, DR 3 and Forza for Xbox one. AC black flag, Killzone, BF 4, Ghosts and Lego Marvel Super Heroes for PS4. And the two games I played the most were Killer Instinct and Resogun.
Nintendo is basically last chance saloon for me. Maybe I'm just getting bored of gaming. But I have to say both consoles were underwhelming.

Toki Tori 2 from the eShop. Yeah, I know it may seem strange seeing me recommending this game
XD
Wonderful 101. Good luck with your last chance saloon, I hope these will make you enjoy games again.

Thanks for the reply, I am still considering what to do! Reading reviews, asking friends that have the system etc
The 227 pound one? Not that cheap imo. Amazon.de is 15 euro cheaper.
I'm annoyed they still don't have a 3D World bundle. I don't like the New Mario games and I already have WW.

There's not going to be a 3D World bundle, it's their killer app of the year.
Well it seems like then there's not going to be a Wii U in house spekkeh this year.

It's a £199 Lightning Deal when you check the £229 one out.
You can pick 2 games.to go with it, though the choice isn't fantastic.

I got the Nintendoland one for around 420 bucks, it could be worse, believe me. -__-

My girlfriend bought me a Wii U and made me promise to not open the box until christmas: it is painful.
in UK at least there is the Mega Mario bundle, with New Mario/Luigi U and 3D World (probably at 299£ but not sure)
Anyway: PSA to all new Wii U owners: BUY ZOMBI U.
Thanks, your Aostia
Online multiplayer? Or couch multiplayer?

After some "confusion" with my launch PS4 pre-order which left me with 3 PS4 games and no PS4 to play them on (at least until early 2014)
Even though It could of gotten ugly I guess I was just having a good day... they offered me a discount so I took it as an opportunity to grab a Wii U premium and a few games for it.
I really didn't know where to start since the last time I owned anything by Nintendo was the 64 so I played it safe and went the Mario route, but i will definitely check out some of the game suggestions in this thread.
Been having a great time with it too, very fun.

There is, but it's the £299.99 Mega Mario bundle with NSMBU, NSLU, SM3DW, the Mario themed Wii Remote and a Mario hat. It's good value but if you just wanted 3DW then paying extra for the unwanted stuff can be annoying (sure you can sell the NSMBU/NSLU, hat and remote but you're not guaranteed a buyer).
That plus I think it's UK exclusive.

I'm talking about an official bundle, you guys know what I mean.
I'm sure it will happen next year.

Nintendo has been doing good with their Wii U bundles so I'm sure it'll happen.
Edit: On second thought I think the next Wii U bundle we'll see is a Mario Kart bundle.
That's awesome and yeah kinda painful at the same time.
To make Christmas even more amazing get Super Mario 3D World, the game is a masterpiece.
Remember, you can skip the update and it will download in the background. If you have also Mario 3d World even better, you can install the update 4.0 from the disc.

She bought me the bundle with NSMBU + NSLU, then I got Super Mario 3D World, Nintendo Land, a couple of Wiimotes and the Pro Controller. Not sure about buying the extended battery for the gamepad right away.
Anyway, everything is stuffed in the same bag under our little christmas tree (that is literally smaller than the WiiU box itself).
Always loved Nintendo, but wasn't sure about the WiiU: luckily my GF decided for me
For the wait, I've got Etrian Odissey 4 to finish so I think I'm covered.
