Super Mario 3D World is fantastic quality from start to finish, with excellent design. It's the sort of game Nintendo's reputation is built on, from the incredible Mario EAD team (Galaxy 1 and 2, etc). I'd put it up against anything released this year.
That said, it was released in 2013.

Wii U has been out for almost two years at this point where the other consoles are less than a year old. One would hope it would have the better library 
Which it absolutely does!
Still, I'm happy with having all of the consoles now. Really enjoying both Horizon 2 and Drive Club at the moment, bit of a racing overload on my part given I went back to GT6 recently too. Could have waited but that's how it always goes with such things, could not pick one up until 2018 for dirt but that's no fun. All depends on what you value I suppose, I spent 550 dollars for my 780Ti earlier this year so purchasing a console doesn't really phase me.

Gentlemen, we can rebuild it. We have the capability to make the world's first enhanced store. Steam will be that store. Better than it was before.
The Wii U has been solid. Mario Kart 8 and Hyrule Warriors are the only games I've paid $60 for this year, and I have Super Smash Bros pre-ordered. The system also has Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong, Windwaker HD, and more.
If I had to choose one console to buy right now, it'd be the Wii U.

I was bored with SM3DW for the 2 hours I played it with friends.
It was a fun time for all but me.

When I first played Mario Kart 8 at this barcade here in Orlando, I found myself thinking that I would buy a Wii U just for that game. It really is quite beautiful in motion and so much fun to play split screen with friends while drinking. I imagine Smash will be the same way.
Now if nintendo would stop being dicks and get around to the super metroid and starfox sequels of my dreams I'd buy the system tomorrow.

I actually found it was really annoying to play coop, that damn camera.
Also waaaayyyy too many times did I get killed because a friend started running and the run button = pick up button, argh.

Let's say I want to get one of those, which one released in 2014 is the best in your opinion?

Danganronpa is amazing and I while I haven't played it I hear 2 is great as well.
Which is the fun some people get out of NSMB/SM3DW multiplayer. An example would be the GB QuickLooks at the NSMB Wii and U games.
Not what I want from my platforming, but I guess some people enjoy it.
True this. A 4 player game of SM3D World is one of gaming's best experiences ever.
True this too. 90% of the fun to get out of the co-op is the idea that at any point it ain't really a co-op, and a subtle vs match. Sabotage using everything from plain grab n tosses to trying to drag the camera is what makes it top-tier.

What are the chances of the SM3DW bundle going on sale ;o
Since it came out like last month n_n.
256 GB Samsung 850 Pro SSD for $180 + Assassin's Creed Unity

Hmm, yeah that's not what I want from my platforming either.
Really what I want from the newest coop mario games is to be basically Rayman Origins/Legends
Man, if only Ubisoft made a Super Mario 3D World type game but with Rayman instead, that'd be awesome, a coop game with a good camera and none of that throwing people off of ledges accidentally.
Always a chance with holidays coming up soon.

I forgot about that, of the Japanese releases it looks the most appealing to me. But is that game already rare? Very few online shops have it in stock here and it still costs 40-50€ even used. Hate to say it but I'd rather wait and see if it hits PS+.
Reminds me that today should be the day Samsung releases the fixed firmware for the 840 (EVO).
ditto this.
I played and plat Danganronpa 1 - quite a ride!
bought Danganronpa 2 as well but have yet to find time to play it!
hmm I would strongly suggest investing in a Vita memory card and getting them off PSN when it's on sale or something - it's well worth it!
I'm personally holding out for a good Black Friday sale to pick up a Wii U. I'll just have to put off Bayonetta for a month.
I'm good thanks for asking. This whole region locking fiasco... Oh well. Marks the end of an era.

Are there any really graphically impressive F2P games? Technically, not stylistically.
Planetside 2 is one.

I officially have more Wii U games in my collection (3) than Ps4 games (2). Bayonetta 2 will make it 4.
...and I still don't have a Wii U!

Ask me about the moon landing or the temperature at which jet fuel burns. You may be surprised at what you learn.
Tropical Freeze is the best game of 2014, has the greatest soundtrack in a video game, and is the greatest 2d platformer of all time.
Hold those truthbombs until Bayonetta 2 drops.

Sorry, no cards.
Damn these Androids creep me out. Had to drop a noisemaker to distract hm or I was gonna have my ass handed to me. The dude wouldn't move, just staring with those creepy Terminator eyes. I hope TEW can be as unnerving as Alien, even though it's heavier on the action.
Yeah, Planetside 2. That really did some work on my previous cpu(Phenom 965) back during time of release.

While I'm not quite ready to say Tropical Freeze is the best game of 2014 it's certainly in the running. Sadly I'm guessing a lot of people will forget about it since it was released so early in the year.

Yeah, I'm never buying a Samsung SSD again after actually checking my 840 Pro's write speeds against what they are supposed to be.

They are about 1/2-1/3 of what they should be. If this firmware doesn't fix the issue I'm going to switch my Windows install to another drive.
Just saw the new Humble bundle, and meh, I already have everything except Aaaaa! for the Awesome and Super Hexagon, neither of which interest me in the slightest. Might pick up the $5 tier depending on if anything good gets added, though.
Oh, and if anyone else was like me and having trouble buying the Indie Gala Friday bundle, they seem to have fixed the problem. Definitely a good bundle that you should buy if you haven't. I'll probably pick up the Monday bundle, too, if only for Strata and The Maker's Eden.

You could always just give me the cases to eliminate the risk of temptationJust played a quick round of CSGO, a case dropped and once again i was inclined to open it. Started the case opening simulator, simulated 10 openings and reconsidered once more
Pocket-sized midgets, man. It's how I clean my computer!... And other hard to reach places, including fleshy bits.. :3A handheld dude?
Man, I wish I could join up with someone for EXL. Just don't 'know' anyone participating :/
I nominate Alien: Isolation for best-looking in the history of ever
Yeah, uh. Bah. Playfire wont even acknowledge anything I do after linking steam with it. Do I need the client? And is it supposed to retroactively do reward-y stuffs? And damn, I want to get meself that code if EW isn't too expensive to start with.Love the heck out of EU, so wouldn't mind more!
Took a bit of my advice, eh? Eh? Eeeeeeh?
No really though, looks a lot better. Some people have complained about the design changes to Steam, and I've liked the majority, especially the new icon. It's just... Better looking. More modern, and definitely much better if you intend on having somewhat of an ecosystem, or in Valve's case, a Steam Universe.

such an unexpected bundle. is it something just newegg decides to do(as in, without ubi's input), or this is a ubi thing? i'm accustomed to graphics cards bundles with games, not SSD's
Really? maybe because i dont really buy these type of stuff internationally(taxes and waiting would murder my wallet), and mostly buy on the equivalent of Ebay here in Brazil(Mercado Livre), it's sorta uncommon for me. Interesting, nonetheless.

GRID 2 and Autosport got bundled with Intel CPUs, I don't think they are CPU heavy games.such an unexpected bundle. is it something just newegg decides to do(as in, without ubi's input), or this is a ubi thing? i'm accustomed to graphics cards bundles with games, not SSD's
Wait a minute, what the hell happened. I played a bit of MG Rising at launch and could get it to run at 1680x1050 60fps on my TV. But launched it again today and its fucking stuck at 24 FPS. Community says its cause im using HDMI. What type of bullshit is this? Windowed mode goes 60 butt looks but ugly. I hate these shit ports. In this case it was a patch that broke it.
I thought the HDMI bug was there day one. Does your TV accept VGA or DVI?

Would making a custom resolution that's off by one pixel with a 60hz refresh work?.
Was that the common fix? So i make a 1920x1079?I know day one there was a problem with 1080p not being compatible with my tv so i was stuck at 1680. But now i can access 1080p but its stuck at 24 fps.

The PRO isn't affected by the bug that will be fixed since it uses another kind of memory plus firmware than the EVO and non-PRO. You should get 100% of the advertised speed. What benchmark tools are you using (the one in Samsung Magician is very unreliable) and have you run Magician's performance optimization?

I didn't have to do it for Rising but I did for a few other games with similar problems. It's worth a shot, I think.

Any tips?

Crysis and Prince of Persia 2008 still have the 24hz bug. ALT+ENTER works for the former, at least(not on Win 8.1). Played PoP in 1600 x 900 -- good thing it's a gorgeous game even at that res.
