I was really amped up when I 1st saw this game and thought it was possibly the reason to get a ps4 for, then I realised it was a re-release so I dropped on the PS3 version for £14.50 and saved a load of cash for now. I am enjoying the game but finding it a bit too story based and I feel like I am just pressing buttons here & there then watching a cut scene, it is a good game though but if I had payed £50 pled the outlay for the PS4 I might of been a bit annoyed. I will keep my PS3 for a bit longer and maybe get a PS4 for Xmas 14 as the new castlevainia looks good also and I have yet to play the last one, then Mario Kart 8 will fill up Spring hopefully. I don't really play games much in the summer as I would rather be out before the 6 months of rain comes around again....

I have played this game way too much with the kids this xmas, last night I could see it when I shut my eyes. TBH I love it!!! It plays well is great fun and has plenty to see and do. We are just in need of more stars to unlock the 1st secret world after finishing the games boss, we are about 21 stars short so have some work to do. We also had a great laugh playing 4 player yesterday when some family visited racing through the 1st level as fast as poss seeing who would score highest. I was never really into mario 64 as I found the controls hard when judging the 3d jumps but on this game I have had no problems. I also really enjoyed Mario Bros Wii U a lot so I guess I am a bit of a sucker for Mario games. We also got Marvel Lego and I can't stand it, gameplay is slow and confusing at times, no skill required and despite looking pretty I really can't understand all the rave reviews of it...

Don't be bashing everyone in the UK too hard My Mario 3d World arrived today for "The worst gift this holiday season" Sadly I am giving it to my kids for Xmas so no playing that one yet. The Wii U is my favourite console ever, I have not played the PS3 once since I got it and I was playing athe Vita the other day and got bored. I just beat SMB U today and will be looking at the Star Road later on. It is lack of marketing that has prevented this system selling over here IMO no-one seems to have a clue what a Wii U is. My friend with a Wii who has just got a PS4 didn't even know Nintendo had released a new console. I really hope they can turn things around, I did see a Mario 3d world advert today on a kids channel earlier.

My friend got an Xbone today and he says it's pretty cool which I can believe. He got Forza and said....

 "Forza is quite good. Needs more tracks I think, and it lacks AA, so it does tend to look a bit rainbowty when you're stopped, but it's not too bad when you're driving at speed. It's insanely pretty too...though, to be honest, the cars look just as good as GT5, but the scenerey for example looks quite a bit better (GT5's scenery is very flat)."

Which I would imagine accurate also. He has a bit of a beast of PC so he wont be blown away by next gen but he does love his gadgets

Mario & Luigi U

Rayman Legends

Wind Waker HD

Wii Party (don't really like this but got it for Wiimote)

Mario Galaxy for Wii

Leaving some of the other obvious choices for Xmas presents as I have hardly scratched the surface of the games I have so far

MK8 does look pretty awesome. I think Mario 3D world will pretty much dominate our family Xmas though. I can't wait to have a go on Xmas morning when my lad gets it

I cant believe how awesome the Wii U games look. I haven't been a Nintendo fan since SNES, but I bought a Wii U on a whim. I never liked the original Wii but I am hooked on the Wii U.

 

I love the New super Mario bros U + Luigi U, and im hyped for the new 3D Mario coming out in just over a week. (yeah im 32 and hyped for Mario) I even used EB games credit to buy the Mario and luigi Wii remote plus controllers!

 

Cant wait to play the new Mario kart, smash bros, bayonetta, and donkey kong. Also hoping for a new Star Fox one day. I've never played any Zelda games other than on the NES and my buddy gave me his Windwaker HD code so im looking forward to playing it.

 

ANyway long story short, I'm loving  the Wii U (minus lack of library) right now.

Same here! 36 years old and loving it. My kids do too. I don't know if Mario 3d is 720 or 1080 but it looks great. WWHD has the best graphics I have ever seen it's beautiful to watch and a great game also. I was a massive fan of Star Fox on the Snes and I would be happy with a N64 Star Fox on the VC for now as I never played that either.

Well so far its been fun fun fun! We love it. i dont care if it bombs as long as I can get 2nd hand software It reminds me of when I had a doomed dreamcast. I still got a lot of use out of it, but honestly with the games coming out I can't see it failing. Mario 3d or Knack for Xmas? Yeah I thought so!

I got it with Mario U & Luigi U and we are enjoying Mario a lot not played Luigi yet. WWHD should be here today with any luck. I also dropped on Rayman Legends cheap yesterday from a web deal (that will probably get hidden till xmas) I also ordered Wii U party to get a Wiimote and Pikmin 3 for Xmas. I will top that up with Mario 3D and Lego Marvel and that will do for Xmas games for the kids. I also ended up beating a few levels on mario on the DS for my lad now my Mario skills are sharp again. 

Oh yeah I also dropped on a 2nd hand Mario Galaxy on the Wii for me to play as I nearly bought a Wii for that game when it came out.

Hi my NID is Bengdogg also. Loving the system!!! Spent a bit of time messing around with setting and parental stuff and made 4 little Mii's so we all have one. Played a bit of Mario Bros, only slight let down is the gamepad wont work in my bedroom as it just drops out of range, it does work upstairs in my lads bedroom though so that was the main objective. I am blown away by how good the gamepad is otherwise and how comfortable it is as I am more of a Dualshock 3 kind of person

Just got a Wii U today, I never had a Wii so consequently I have no friends. If anyone wants to add me feel free. Thanks!

No Nintendo Land, I can get it off ebay or something cheap though. I am in the UK if that helps. Interested in the neoprene gamepad case. I will have a look now. May Wii U is about 45 mins away from the tracking "Jamie is currently makingdelivery number 14, you aredelivery number 28.

Jamie is approximately 45 minutes away from you."

Hi, yeah I never had a wii so I have a few wii titles in my sights mario galaxy, sonic colours etc. I bought the Wii with local miltiplayer in mind as I have two kids & mario world 3d looks a blast & Mario Kart always is loads a of fun in multiplayer. I have ordered the Wii U party so I think a Nunchuck will be next. 

Ok I might have a spare external hdd kicking around somewhere in the house, not desperate yet I guess and I think I will look for a cheap pro controller too at some point. I have never even seen one in the flesh so tomorrow will be a bit of a new experience for me. 

Ok so tomorrow I get a Wii U with Mario U & Luigi U. I am wanting to use VC and play Wii games too so I am thinking I need a Wiimote and a Nunchuck then at least one Wiimote for each player as we enjoy a bit of multiplayer in our house. Is the pro controller worth it or not as I dont want to have to buy too much stuff. I am thinking of getting the party pack to get a the 1st Wiimote sorted but it's not really that obvious as Mario U has a funny multiplayer where the gamepad becomes a block placing pad??!! I just want to be sure I order the right things so Mario world 3d can be enjoyed in a group when Xmas comes  

Thanks

Hi it's my 1st post as I must hate myself then as I pulled the trigger on a Wii U on Monday & it will be here tomorrow. I got a bundle with Mario U & Luigi U for under £200. I was after a PS4 but the launch line up is terrible and the only kids game Knack today has received many poor reviews. I can't wait to have a go with it after work tomorrow, the kids don't know I have ordered one either It's going to be fun!!! As someone who has never owned a Wii I am looking forward to the great Wii games, Virtual Console and the great Wii U titles. I see this system as quality over quantity. I also have a Nintendo Dsi in the house which my kids love, a PS3 which is a good machine with plenty of life left and a Vita which I really like. I just hope this system sells like hot cakes whilst the PS4 & XB1 are sold out with Mario world 3d looking spectacular. 

 Thanks for reading my random musings, hurry up tomorrow I want my Wii U!!!!
