THis was a good capture of some great games on the Wii U.  I am excited for some of the upcoming games. 

Nice!! iMac is awesome.  Been an Apple/Mac user since my first computer which was an Apple IIe, still have it and it still runs.  I have never owned a PC in my life and never will...specially after seeing how awful Windows 8 is.  Only time I use is windows is at work and I dread going to work just because I have to use Windows....lol!

Enough said....wait for the Wind Waker Deluxe...same price and you get a game!!!  What more can you ask for. 

Thats a tough decision....I like both systems...the 3DS has some cool games for 6 year olders, but then again so does the Wii U, 3D Mario land for the wii u look awesome and I thnk they would ahve loads of fun.  There are some cool games coming out in the future, but I am not sure how long you would want to wait for them, so 3DS is a good bet since they already have more games for that age group.

I am a loyal nintendo fan and never abandoned it even when x box came about.  I honestly think that nintendo has done well, typically thier systems are more consistently stable as with the other consoles seem to have more issues.  I really love the wii u and I see some aweme potential with cool ideas for games with te game pad. 

I bought my wii u in Kodiak, AK at the walmart and didnt even stand in line...its great to be in a place that doesnt even know what a wii u was.  So easy to get it.  I am definitely looking forward to 3D Wolrd and most definitely Mario Kart.  I do hope they can get some real sports games and I do love sports games too.

You can add me if you want, mine is Big-E, anyone playing Mario/Sonic Winter Olympics...I am addicted to that game already. 

I am not sure of how big of a deal this is...but the one thing that is bothering me is that its kind of hard to know when someone posts something on miiverse while you are playing a game.  You have the little blue blinking light when something happens, but when you are immersed in a game you are not always looking at the gamepad.  So what i would like is a noise indicator.  Can be a simple few blirbs or something to notify you that something was posted or even when a "friend" has come online.  Pretty simple but I think that would be a great addition to miiverse. 

Glad you decided to sell your PS4...lol  and come to Nintendo.  I love my wii u, and hope you enjoy yours.  There are some good games out right now.  Would like to see some more sports games though. 

I am not sure how much I want to be revealed, for me I like suprises...it keeps me anxious.  I already know what Mario Kart is about.  I like to wait.  But I can understand wanting to have better trailers.

I am definitely for having Nintendo Power Magazine back, I loved it, specially back in the early 90s!!

Welcome to the forum.  And I think you made a good choice...sometimes its not how you start off, but how you end up.  And I think Nintendo will bring home the victory.  As far as games...for multi player, kind of depends on what you like.  Call of Duty: Ghosts you can play against other players online.  I really like Mario & Sonic Winter Olympics...kind of addicting.  Now you can compete against other people's record.  I havent played Pikmin 3, but I heard its really good.  3D Mario World just came out...I just picked it up today.  Have some great games coming out soon too, I am looking forward to Mario Kart 8...that will be multi player.

Thanks   was thinking of zelda i  i got luigi and mario BUNDLE ( and lego marvel which  was free when i got the bundle . 

Sold ps4 bit of a over hype my opinion i had 4 games for it just didn't enjoy it Wii u has the games i like i hoping nintendo do a luigi mansion and f zero for the wii u

I think that would be awesome to make a lugi mansion...I think with the gamepad there could be some cool features they could put into place. 

I totally agree with what R00bot said regarding the press.  It really doesnt matter as long as you enjoy it.  I am also a dedicated nintendo fan.  I remember getting my first NES system back in 1985, I was so excited.  I have owned every single console myself and have kept each system along with the box to have for my collectors room once I buy a house after I retire from the military.  I now have the wii u myself and I have completely enjoyed it.  Games are better then ever specially the new Super Mario 3D world, that game really makes Mario even better.  Make sure you get a battery extender for the gamepad..my biggest gripe is that the stock gamepad battery is pretty awful.  If you like fighting games...Injustice Gods Among Us is freaking awesome.  Mario and Sonic Wintner Olympics is just about addicting with the online playablity.  I hope you enjoy the wii U..and welcome to the forum!!

I think that Nintendo will come around.  i have started seeing a lot better commercials on tv  now.  I remember when the wii u came out, there was not one single commercial for the wii u.  Its kind of hard to sell a product if its not advertised well.  I think the new commercials showcase that its a completely new console.  I like to see rhat more people have been buying.  Patience is a virtue....you dont win a race in the beginning!

I am 36..and I have me, myself and I to enjoy the wii u with....lol.  Congrats on getting the wii u for the family.  Glad you are enjoying it.  I am a gamer at heart and will never stop playing video games.  I have been a Nintendo fan since 1985 when the NES came out.  Mario do this day is still a classic and a legend.  And now in HD is stunning.  There are some awesome games coming out too.... Merry Christmas to all!!!

THis has been a wonderful site with awesome people.  Glad you were able to find help within this site.  Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.  Hope your son enjoys the wii u...and what the heck jump in and play some games with him!!

Welcome to the forum..I am active duty myself in the US Coast Guard.  Glad you are enjoying your Wii U.  I love mine, been a loyal nintendo fan since 1985 when the first NES came out. 

Welcome to the forum.  Hope you enjoy your wii u.  Did you have the wii before the wii u?  I am looking forward to Mario Kart 8 for the wii u.  Going to be some fun coming!!!

The funny thing  is though, with all these failures came success later down the road.  There has to be failures to have success. 

I loved Starfox from way back, it would be awesome to see it come to the Wii U...with the gamepad there could be some cool features.  A metroid prime for the wii u would be awesome. 

I am definitely up for some kind of Star Fox, I loved that game.  Bring it on Nintendo please!

I would definitely concur with the lackluster of 3rd party support.  However, the new mario kart is going to be killer.  The graphics are insane.  I like the fact that you can add a hard drive to the system..  I wish that we had more sports games.  I am a dedicated Nintendo fan since 1985 and I am really struggling if I should buy another system for sports games or should I hold out and maybe nintendo will get good sports games.  Over all the system is a great system.  I think it will get better this year with some great titles coming in 2014.

I also got mine on launch, I didnt even have to stand in line....living in Kodiak, Alaska can have some nice benefits, such as no one here even knew what a wii u was..not even the sales reps at wal-mart.  I had it pre-ordered then walked in right, and walked right out...10 mins tops!!! lol.  I will never sell the wii u either.

I never really paid much attention to reviews, for video games or movies.  To me reviewers of movies and video games or people with nothing better to do with their lives.  I only listen to reviews of hardware type of things. 

Welcome to the forum!! I too love my Wii U.  I cant even imagine buying another console. I will say my only complaint is the lack of good sports games.  I know they have FIFA and also Madden, but I heard they were not all that great.  But I am excited for some awesome games...like Mario Kart 8(graphics look insane), and Super Mash Bros!!!.
