Mine comes from one of my favorite fictional characters, Ivy Tamwood from the Hollows series. It's a pretty good series of books but the main character annoys more than anything, I only read them for Ivy 

Finally! I've been wanting to get my hands on these two games for a while now!

Pretty basic stuff, haven't been in the mood to customize anything except the wallpaper 

• Playstation 2
• Playstation 3
• PSP (sold mine, but I can play on my brother's anytime)
• Xbox 360 (meh, never really liked it much, it's not even hooked up to my TV anymore)
• NES (that I'm looking to sell)
• Game Boy Color
• Game Boy Advance (had an SP too, my brother lost it)
• Nintendo DSi XL
• Wii U

and a gaming PC which is currently needing a small upgrade but I'm pleased with my PS3 and Wii U

Just got my Wii U but feel free to add me: IvyTamwood

Currently I only own NintendoLand but I'm looking to get more titles soon 

At this point, the Wii U's library is very limited, especially when it comes to games worth paying full retail price.

I personally think New Super Mario Bros. U, Lego City and Sonic All-Stars are the ones you should get, especially if you're more of a casual gamer. If you want to get something a bit more intense, Monster Hunter 3 and ZombiU are great titles.

On the eShop the definite must have is Trine 2. Give a try to the Rayman Legends Challenges App because not only it'll give you new challenges everyday, it's a great glimpse at what's coming when the full game comes out. And it's free, so you can't really beat that.

You can also get great games from the Wii library if you skipped the Wii last gen, and you can get those for a pretty cheap buck now.

On my PS3 I'm playing New Game Plus on The Last of Us, ICO and The Cave (too many titles too play thanks to PSN+).

On the Wii U, only playing Nintendo Land and Rayman Legends Challenges. Trying to get Lego City or MH3U soon.

Maybe if Nintendo of Europe can't bring the same TVii experience to all European countries exactly like the American TVii, they could instead use TVii as an enhanced TV Remote app that would allows to control our current DVR devices.

I think for these big shot devs the issues lies in profiting. Developing a game for the Wii U is obviously going to be different than developing for the PS3/360 but that extra effort might also require more human resources and it's also possibly more costly. Now, do they want to shell out extra $$$ (even if it's a small amount considering all their wealth) for a console that's selling poorly? No. They rather invest in other, more successful, consoles that'll give them more sales, therefore more profit.

 It's worth $40.  Do you like Luigi at all? You could also wait for the retail version of New Super Luigi U that's only $30.  You seem to be playing a few games at the moment though. If I were you I would play what you're playing now, wait for Pikmin to come out, decide if you're going to get that (I bet you will) and then use NSMBU/NSLU as a bridge when there's a gap in games you don't like.

Hmm I don't think I'll be getting NSLU but I have enough points in my GAME card that when I go buy Pikmin 3 I might be able to bring a NSMBU copy too. I do have a lot of Wii games to finish but I'm just so excited to play all these Nintendo franchises in HD 

I really want to get this one since the last SMB game I played on a home console was on the NES times... But I've heard this is basically the same as the DS version (which I own and love) and the Wii version (don't own but I've played it as well). I could get it for around $40/$45... Do you think it's worth the price? I doubt it'll ever go down to budget price, since I still see the Wii version priced as much as $50.

I would rather see them make a way to play 3ds games on the Wii u with a hi res texture pack. You know, like use street pass to somehow have the 3DS stream the Pokemon versions to the Wii u, the Wii u has a program on it that plays the 3ds game in hi res.

What? What 'program'? Because damn, the moment the Wii U starts playing 3DS games than what's the point of owning a 3DS? Nintendo would never do that.

I really liked what they did with Colosseum and Gale of Darkness, so yeah it could totally be successful in a home console, it's just probably Game Freak doesn't want that. 

You didn't think about this post as all did you?

The GameCube had an add on that allowed people to play game boy advance games on the tv. Think of this as a program that performs a similar function. The game I still a 3DS game and runs on the 3DS, this just streams to the Wii u and has a texture pack that allows for HD (or at least higher quality visuals). Still a 3DS game, just with a way to continuously sun with the Wii u so you can play on your console while you are home and your 3DS is in range

The 3DS will always be worth owning because it is a portable and I can always keep it with me. I've always gamed a lot more on the portable side than console side.

Well, I thought you meant playing 3DS games like some sort of Virtual console thing. Streaming 3DS games to your TV via Wii U, that makes more sense. 

Wow did Nintendo get inside my head and found out all the stuff I wanted from a Zelda game?

Is this a dream??? I can't believe this, if this is true, this might be one of the best, if not the best, Zelda game ever.

If we look at the difference between first and third-party titles on the PS3 you can tell first-party games are usually the ones that utilize the full power of the PS3 better. So why expect different from the Wii U? It's clear that Nintendo struggled a bit with HD development but Pikmin 3 is the proof that the Wii U hardware is capable of some really beautiful, next-gen looking games. It's a shame that most people don't consider Nintendo games as "next-gen" just because they don't have "realistic graphics".

Well obviously ZombiU isn't going to sell as well as, say, NSMBU but that's to be expected just a little, right? I mean, not only most people who buy the Wii U mostly enjoy only Nintendo's first-party games (tbh that's my case) but survival horror is rarely a genre that gets as many sales as other genres, and considering this is a brand new IP, it's sort of to be expected. And I've played the demo and to be honest I wasn't that impressed with it. I was gonna buy it but I'm glad I tried the demo first. The gameplay feels bland, repetitive and I feel like they didn't try that hard with the environments, not to mention story-wise it's terribly boring and there's not even a likable character that you can get attached to because once you die, you start over with a completely new character. 

I never played the original, and since there's not a lot of games I want to buy for the Wii U this year, I might get it during the 1st month if I find it cheap somewhere. Maybe wait til there's 2nd hand copies.

I'm not expecting everything to be perfect I think Nintendo are rushing this a bit.

They're rushing it because the Zelda team said they want to deliver a better experience for the "true HD Zelda on the Wii U" but that's taking them longer than expected so they want to give something to Zelda fans anyway.

No man just keep the WiiU. When you sell it you and those games you really want start getting closer and closer to their release dates you will be itching to sell that Playstation for a WiiU. I don't sell my games anymore because when I was younger I used to sell a lot and noticed I always bought them again not too far in the future because I missed them. Just stick it out and wait for Smash and Mario Kart, you most likely will not be disappointed and it will feel great having your hands on the game after waiting so long. Plus remember we have Super Mario 3D World coming out in a few months and Pikmin out next month. Oh and Wind Waker. I am sure these games can hold you over and once you start getting new and great games it will cure that need to get another system quick. I know exactly how you feel I have been like that many times but after I just held onto everything I have it helps. I started making collections for my systems instead of selling to get new games I was dying for. And that is a real satisfying feeling. So just hold out dude, you won't regret it.

I've definitely regretted selling many games when I was younger, games that are really hard to find now. Just build a good collection, it's a really satisfying feeling. And yeah, the Wii U doesn't have a lot going for it now, but neither won't the PS4. If I recall well, the PS3 struggled a lot for the first 2/3 years between solving some hardware issues and getting a decent game lineup. The Wii U is definitely going through that phase now and to fool ourselves into thinking the PS4 and Xbox One are somehow 'superior' to those issues is just silly.

Yeah, the PS4 looks good now but I bet it'll look even better in a couple years with a hardware revision and a more robust game lineup. Meanwhile, you get to enjoy your Wii U and all the amazing Nintendo exclusives that are coming this year and in 2014.

Not gonna pre-order because there's not any kind of pre-order bonus and I'd rather wait a couple of days for feedback from reviews and stuff, since this is gonna be my first Pikmin game (aside from the Pikmin minigame on NintendoLand )

I don't think there's a point in waiting for a price drop on this one since it might take quite some time, considering this is a big Nintendo title... Just look at NSMBU. It's still priced between $40-$60 everywhere I see.

I'll likely get it when the price drops to about $20.

Hmm if it ever drops that low. It's rare for Nintendo first-party games. But that'd be a great deal, obviously. Maybe you can get it that low 2nd hand.

It's not the 3rd party developers fault that the Wii U is underpowered compared to the other consoles and that no one is buying it. 

Underpowered doesn't mean not capable. Say, the 3DS is technically underpowered compared to the Vita and we all know who's the clear winner there. The Wii U's only weakness at this point is Nintendo's lack of a good marketing strategy for it.

Obviously there will always be deals and other stuff going on in the background that we will never know. Everyone's in the business to win, to get more money and that means that they have to weaken the competition. Now, can others be fully faulted by some of Nintendo's mistakes, mistakes that have even been admitted themselves they made them?
