I downloaded it...deciding to play it on Saturday when I get relieved from Duty(US Coast Guard) I did sneak a peak at the graphics..looks awesome!!

I had to slap myself to make sure I was reading that right.  WOW is all I can say!!

I am getting worried that Nintendo will die now.  At first I didn't think so, but without 3rd party support it will be hard for nintendo to stay afloat.  

Was a nice surprise for the free code to download a game, unfortunately I have all of the games with the exception of Wii U party.  Definitely a nice offer but kind of a buzz killer when I found out the list of the games.  OH well...I am still excited for Mario Kart 8...specially after watching the Nintendo Direct today!!!

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!

This looks awesome!!  Totally excited to try something new.  I have been a mario fan for a long time..but this is awesome!!

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. 

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. 

I think a track editor would be awesome..and have the function where you could upload those tracks for everyone to play!!  Awesome idea!!

My case is in a black case saved on a hard disc....aka digital copy...Wii U...lol

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

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 think Nintendo is really making a great effort to gain more positive feedback.  Nintendo made some mistakes on how they promoted the Wii U, and now they are really making some great strides on show casing what I believe is thier best console ever!!  Lets bring it home Nintendo..been a loyal fan since before NES when there was also the Famicom!!

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.

Pikmin!!! I am addicted to that game!

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.

Glad we have a release date.  I am really looking forward to this game.  I had to break down and buy a PS4, only real reason was to get NFL Sunday ticket as I can't get Direct TV....glad wii u has some great games coming out soon.  

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

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.

Exciting!!!

It was definitely worth it, I utilize it with battery extender too and it makes for a long amount of play time before I have to charge both. 

EskobarM92:  Yes I have the nyko Uboost, I had that before the high capacity battery and it without a doubt gave me more playtime.  Its easy to install, and like I said I use both now and it gives me more then plenty play time.  

Just as long as you like it..that is all that matters.  I will never buy PS4 or X Box One....because I am a dedicated loyal fan of nintendo.  That being said it is most important that you like whatever you play.  In my opinion I do think that nintendo is next gen..I think the gamepad is a great idea....and I think if Nintendo would get 3rd party support it would be right up there with Xbox One and PS4!

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!

Welcome to the forum...I too been playing since the original NES..and actually even before when there was the FAMICOM!!!
