It seems a little Gimmicky to me, considering they could have just put in a simple menu for all the Games?

IMO just a waste of development time, UNLESS there are Hidden secrets that we don't know about?

What do u guys think?
I am the foot. I do not like you. You smother me with socks and shoes, then step on me thousands of times a day.

We foot will rebel one day.

I think it's meant to draw you into the world of Nintendo and all its IP's. The whole 'theme park' or 'carnival' feel to the game. The excitement of running from one attraction to the next and all that.

I agree, they could just do a simple menu - but for me that would be too bland. I wasn't too convinced after E3, in fact I thought it looked pretty lame. However, after last Thursday I opened up to it a little more. So maybe it's one of those things you just need to try before buying. Or, if you are getting the Deluxe Wii U, you should give it a shot since it will be a pack in game.

In the hub you'll be able to see all the collectibles you've earned like the Miis dressed as Link. At least that's what I've been lead to believe.
"So if Zero Suit Samus is fanbait for guys, where is the fanbait for girls? Why isn’t Captain Falcon wearing a thong or sporting a chest twice the size of his last model? Why doesn’t Mario have an absurd crotch buldge holding in his 10 inch slice of manhood? Why doesn’t Yoshi look like a Fist of the North Starcharacter.

Basically what I was thinking. I was also under the impression that you'd be able to collect collectibles and also have your friend's Miis show up in the park.
