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.  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!!!

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

This is what I am talking about...I wont be on duty watch so I can play!!!

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.  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.

You will definitely have to call Nintendo, I had to do it once...took a day or two to get things straightened out but they were very helpful!

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!!

Welcome to the forum.  Glad to have you on as a wii u team!!!  I love nintendo..only leaving nintendon for awhile when I got addicted to World of Warcraft...I am now back after telling WOW to get lost...lol.  I am so glad to be back playing a nintendo console/s with the wii u and the 3DS. 

Have fun here!!

I really hope they dont try to release this before it should.  Lets no rush, lets make sure the product is ready.  This is going to be epic!!

Welcome to the forum!!!  I too own all of the Nintendo consoles with the exception of the Virtual Boy.  Been a loyal fan since Nintendo came out. 

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

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!!!. 

My NNID is Ecorsbie720.

I have never liked Sony products...I owned a sony car stereo for my truck and it was horrible.  I love my nintendo!!!!

Welcome to the forum....I grew up on Nintendo..got my first console in 1985 with the NES, then got the SNES.  The next few years I had to buy the next consoles myself(finally had my own job and in college)...which was the N64, Gamecube, Wii, and now the Wii U.  I also have the 3DS now...and owned most of the previous handheld models.  I have to say...i always try new games but i always seem to come back to any kind of Mario game.  I am super excited for Mario Kart 8.  And excited to try out Super Smash!!!  Rock on Nintendo!!!

Pikmin 3 is a solid game, I love it.  I would definitely recommend Pikmin 3!!

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!!!

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

I hate to beat a dead horse, but I have to also say, you won't regret getting a Wii U.  Its a great system with huge potential.  Smash bros for wii u is going to be epic!!  Some great games out now though too!!

I totally understand having a special place in your heart on a console.  I owned every console nintendo made wight the exception of the Virtual Boy.  I got the original NES in 1985 for my birthday, received the SNES also as a gift.  I then was old enough to make my own money and got the N64, Gamecube, Wii and now the Wii u.  The original NES is the one that holds that special place in my heart.  

I definitely pleased with the Wii U and am excited to see what else it can produce.  I definitely hope for a new Star Fox that was one of my favorite games that wasn't a Mario Game as I love any thing Mario.

Well welcome to the forums!!

I am in agreement the game looks awesome...I am totally anxious for this game to come out!!

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

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.

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.
