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!

Pikmin!!! I am addicted to that game!

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

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!!!

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

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!

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. 

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 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.

Welcome to the forum.  I am too a bit concerned about 3rd party support, but I believe Nintendo's future is still bright.  I bought the Wii U on launch date and it truly has given me a fresh look at console gaming.  For the longest time I quit the console gaming and went to the darkside and starting playing World of Warcraft.  The Wii U gave me that fresh start.  I love my wii u.  You will love 3D Mario World for the Wii u....i love the game. 

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.

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!!!

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!!

Exciting!!!

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

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!!

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

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

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.

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!

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

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

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!!

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.
