I've had my Wii U since launch day and I am absolutely loving it. So far I have Zombi U, and Mario Bros. U. I have already decided on Darksiders 2, but I need some help deciding between Assassin's Creed 3 and Mass Effect 3. I have never played either series but they both look tempting . I know that I will be late to the game with both titles, but I would like some opinions on both series. Thanks guys!

Get Assassin's Creed 3, I'm a big Mass Effect fan myself but I'm staying away from the Wii U version, EA really fudged it, wait for the inevitable Mass Effect Trilogy, Mass Effect is EA's cash cow, it's bound to come sometime

I would go for Assassin's Creed 3

[Auzzie Wingman]

Ass Creed

Play Ass Creed with me

[WisdomPowerCourage]

AC3, never played it but A and C are the first letters of Animal Crackers.

[TheSparrow87]

If you haven't played either series I'd say get ACIII for the Wii U and get the full mass effect series on PC.

[Hitomi]

AC3 i'd say =)

Can I piggyback on this thread? I'm considering taking advantage of Toys R Us B1G1 40% Wii U games tomorrow, could use some advice.

I already have ZombiU, Nintendo Land, Black Ops 2 and NSMBU.

Darksiders 2, for me as well, is 1 of the two for sure. I already own Mass Effect 3 on the 360, already beat Arkham City and not a huge fighting game fan (Tekken is out), so here are the other games I'm considering.

- Epic Mickey 2
- Ninja Gaiden 3
- Warriors Orochi 3
- Sonic Racing (good on the Gamepad?)
- And...what exactly is Scribblenauts, a kids game?

Thoughts? Or should I just wait, play what i have and wait for Darksiders 2 to come down to $40 or so.

Wow, thanks to everyone for the replies! I'll go for AC3 then

You have chosen wisely.

- Epic Mickey 2
- Ninja Gaiden 3
- Warriors Orochi 3
- Sonic Racing (good on the Gamepad?)
- And...what exactly is Scribblenauts, a kids game?

Apparently Epic Mickey 2 is bad on the Wii U. Could possibly patch it up, but it's still bad.
Ninja Gaiden 3 is a tune up from it's PS3/Xbox360 versions, but still not up there.
Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper is very niche. If you've played previous Warriors games and loved them, then you'll love it too.
Sonic Racing is supposedly equal to or better on the Wii U than PS3/Xbox360, and for that reason alone I highly suggest this of the 5.
Scribblenauts Unlimited is basically a game where you type in a word, and it appears as a usable object in game. If I remember correctly, you'd have to try and reach a star or something like that in the first game by typing in the words of an object, then using it e.g. type 'ladder', get ladder, climb ladder, get star.

I was originally tossing up between Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper and Sonic Racing Transformed, but I've just decided to buy both, save myself from pain.

[MMG]

Get Assassins Creed 3, that is a no doubter!

[Spleenzorio]

ACIII, so you can play like this:

Thanks for taking the time to respond. I don't think I've played any other Warriors Orochi games...I played and loved Ninety Nine Nights 2 and was lukewarm to Sengoku Basara Samurai Heroes...

I might just wait it out, I have enough to play at the moment.

You're right that you have enough to play. Honestly it's only worth buying something right now if you were to take advantage of sales. I agree that Sonic would've probably been the best choice though.

Eh, I was thinking more Dynasty Warriors, or Samurai Warriors. Loved SW Chronicles, sad to sell it today, but hey, that trade in money went straight into Orochi 3 Hyper.

And I think I have too much to play. Too much. 8 games and possibly more, anyone?

[Alex Wolfers]

AC3, never played it but A and C are the first letters of Animal Crackers.

When I first heard AC I was thinking about Animal Crossing.

[Ravyu]

I was thinking of getting ME3 on the U until I played AC2 (my first AC game, got it for $5 bucks on steam sale) and god, would that have been the biggest mistake of my life..

AC3 all the way.
