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

I never crapped on the U. Ever. I grew up with and have always loved and respected Nintendo. Dont mistake me for the 75% of this forums population.

it's full of quirks and novelties that make it lots of fun to discover. the small things really make the console. like i was playing wii sports tennis earlier and i got in a local match and found out that miiverse messages pop up in local matches. the funny part about that is the demographic of the games whose messages can be not fully thought out, which is both charming and hilarious. they also pop up on the tablet when doing online and you can send them in the local multiplayer. the console has so many uses that it still feels fresh to me and i've had it since launch.

It is, and to be honest I cant believe how much Wii Sports Club is addictive and Wii FIt U is surprisingly fun

2013 has 3D World left to go. 2014 will see DK, Kart 8, Smash, X, Bayo 2, plus whatever has been left unannounced. Even if sales don't take off, Wii U owners won't have a lot to complain about.
I sense that to be the case as well. It's a great little system that's going to be relegated to cult status later on. Hoard those physical copies of games.

You forgot Yarn Yoshi and SMTxFE and possibly Legend of Zelda (I think its holiday 2014)
Tragically overlooked game.I really can't see Zelda hitting next year, but you never know. We'll see it, at the very least.

I have hope, I have doubts but you never know.
It would be a killer year for sure though.
Same here. Tough decision
Best Buy Bundle: Wii U + Nintendoland + Mario Wii control= $320
Negative is having to deal with the lines and crowd or maybe selling out.
Target: Wii U = $300, Use $ 25 gift card for Mario Wii controller = $15 + Used copy of Nintendoland from Gamestop $15 =$330 or new copy from Kmart Black Friday $20. = $335
If you end up going with Target, you can also take advantage of buy 2 get 1 free.
Nintendoland $30 + Monster Hunter $30 + Ducktales $20 =80-20/3 = $20 per game.
I'm thinking of taking my chances at Best Buy because I want to take advantage of their 18 month no interest on purchases over $430.

Picking oneup off craigslist seller

I'd try it on Easy first. And don't get frustrated if you screw up. You can always redo the missions.
Both, but W101 right now.
Oh I wasn't referring to you specifically. Just the general attitude of GAF lately. Wants Nintendo to fail so they can buy the system for $150 and enjoy the games they claim to hate. Its a weird love-hate relationship here.
Yep. But the love hate relationship with companies is prevalent everywhere you look. It's who and why you pick and choose which gives you your ultimate feelings on everything else.

I got a PS4 but the game I'll be playing over the holidays will be Mario 3D World.
Good choice of system.

Excluding VC and indie's I own
-NSMBU+Luigi DLC
-Assasins Creed 3
-Tekken Tag 2
-Pikmin 3
-Monster Hunter 3U
-Wonderful 101
-Nintendo Land
-Game & Wario
-Scribblenauts
-Disney Infinity
-Wii Party U
And I love all of them, and by years end I plan to get SM3D World, Sonic Lost World and the Olympics Game
Also have Wii Sports Club and Wii Fit U. I really cant believe how much stuff I have on this system already
Probably my favorite system since at least GC and maybe SNES
I regret i got the following games:
- Duck tales
- Dungeons and Dragons
Duck tales is pretty boring. The stages are plain, the game exploration isnt satisfying. The cutscenes are annoying. The only redeeming part is the vault... And this lasts a few seconds.
Dungeons and dragons is what it is: port of two very Nice arcade games. But the fact that you can just shove as much quarters as you want in it kinda kills it for me. Its worst when playing online, theres no way to communicate with the other players (NO WAY) and everybody Just keep hitting continue until the game ends.
I really hate games with "infinite lives" which explains why i hate Lego games só much
Aside from those two, every game i got is great.

The sleekness of 101 plus the controllers comfortability is almost too much.
It's a beautiful thing.

I do feel like Wii U is sort of a spiritual successor to the Gamecube in its core games (and also the core Nintendo audience). It's only going to get better in a week and all of next year.
Truism.
All it needs are some
good
Them it would be the Gamecube V2
Okami would do wonders on the gamepad

I expect a big capcom exclusive to be announced next wii U direct. There has never been a nintendo console that didnt have atleast 1 capcom exclusive that everybody loved

This. Platinum IS Capcom, or rather, every part of it that we care about.
Well, short of Mikami, but he still isn't Capcom so fuggit.

I'd say SM3DW likely beats both it lives up to hype (Its EAD, hype isnt needed.
I know its beautiful. I am having flashbacks to the GC. ("My" First console)
Going in to MiiVerse from a game is great. Instant feed back from everyone else playing it.

have you tried hitting the home menu while playing a game and then going to the browser and going to neogaf that works perfectly on it? While the game is still in the background.

I do, I go to a lot of discussion boards with my Wii U.
Havent even tried the browser yet.
This is actually a pretty deep system when you lift up that shell. Holy shit.
In my Wii U first month in May I swear I was doing only that. PC was mainly a GAF/web machine so it stayed off almost the whole month. My electric bill was surprisingly a lot lighter :lol:
You should try youtube on the browser, its really really nice actually.

Hmm...so did you spend the $299 on the Deluxe model? If so, you could have gotten the Skylander Swap Force Bundle (came out today) for the same price and it also comes with Nintendoland. Still, sounds like you knew what you wanted so it might not have made a difference. Welcome to the club! I hope you have fun with the system. Just a week away until potential GOTY!
