Im having a hard time choosing between Black ops 2, Zombiu, and New super Mario bros u. because I want something online and competitive (black ops 2) but im also feeling some Mario right now but I know Mario is going to be one of those beat and be done with games. Im not sure to get black ops 2 because theres no nuketown zombies or nuketown 2025 on it (yet maybe) and zombiu... well that's just in there for an idea. if you want to add me the on wii u the names Zer0age .

[Occult Satanist]

I've heard alot of good things about ZombiU and A TON of good things about Bops 2 for Wii U from friends who don't even like Call of Duty ....as for Mario i would get it just because it's like a tradition to get the new one (for me any ways)..............But over all from what i've heard i'm going to have to say get Bops 2

[Chaz]

I'm loving both Mario and ZombieU.

I passed on WiiU blops for the Steam version because a friend told me the Nintendo servers are pretty dead for that game, though I hear otherwise it's a great version of COD.

[YoshiGamer9]

Don't get mario U until it's pretty cheap, they make a new mario game pretty much every year, (party,kart,galaxy,etc) but get it if you are craving a 2D platformer, the handheld versions are good too. My favourite is the Wii one.

CoD? I wouldn't know about that but if you wait by november MW4 will come out...

Zombi U... I know the least about this game, it's a zombie survival game... get this if you like horror?

[starraters]

ZombiU easily I have ZombiU and BLOPS2(for xbox) and Mario defenintly get ZombiU the reviewers are wrong and I love this game between finding collectibles like newspapers or upgrades for your gun along with all these guns there are a couple of cheap jump scares but the atmosphere is really creepy and you will get scared and paranoid like there is always zombies near you(which there is) there is several metroid like areas were you may not have the item to go to now but you can come back to later and find items so easily get ZombiU I give it a 95/100

[Zer0age]

yeah i agree mario probably will be cheaper soon. same as zombiu and i really just need a game to hold me off until monster hunter 3 ultimate XD

[Varg]

Be aware that there are still Nintendo games that are old and full price for the wii. You will be waiting a very long time for Mario to be in the bargain bin .

[syks-1]

Even though imo its the worst cod i would still say get blops 2 if its fun online play you want..zombie u is a very good game but it can get frustraiting when you die over and over again lol..mario u is prob the best 2d mario yet,its a really fun game and it does have replay value,i dont mind doing the same levels over again,its just fun BUT not online which is a big letdown to me.

Get blops 2

[Reaver]

As Varg has said, Mario games hardly ever drop in price so don't wait for that one to drop. Look at Mario on the Wii both bros and galaxies, still full or pretty close to full price.

Personally, if you get time alone at night, no kids etc.. then I'd say ZombiU as the atmosphere is VERY tense and draws you in, then Mario which when complete you can go back to collect all the big coins. CoD, I've never been a fan if I'm honest but I'll check it out sometime when it's in the bargain bin.

There is already an official thread for this so there wasn't any need to start a new one.

As to your question I've played and own Mario and Zombi U and they are both great games. I've not played COD so I can't comment on that except to say its primarily a multiplayer game and judging by what I've read the online community for it is very small compared to the other consoles. As for the other two it depends whether you prefer a 2D platform game or a first person action/survival horror game. Either one is worth getting. Both have local multiplayer although with Zombi U its limited to two players and Mario supports up to five if you have enough Wii remotes.

From a consumer's point of view, NSMBU won't be on sale any time soon, as Nintendo games rarely drop in price. If I were you, I would just buy that one first, assuming you have every intention of eventually picking up all three.

Black Ops 2 and ZombiU will definitely be in the $30-40 range soon enough---not suggesting anything negative about the games, it's just usually how third party games fair.

So, if you're intending on buying all three, you might as well buy Mario first because I don't anticipate a price drop until at least 2014. However, if you're not sure if you're going to buy all three, I would go with ZombiU, as I have significantly enjoyed my time with it thus far.

[tboss]

id say BO2, id rate it as one of the best cods next to MW2. that comes down to map desing/better lag comp(MW2), or better balance(and currently being improved )(BO2). the original blackops has the best zombies.

+ wiiU version gamepad and wiimote support give it massive advantiges over the xbox version, add that it doesnt have the xbox/PS3 50% little kid population its also better. only issues is lack of support do to the small population. but its big enough that most things play fine.

mario bros. personly im hopping they release a sunshine like game, i get ruffly every 4th one, espicialy since they are all converging into the same thing.

zombie U, if you like realistic survival games. this one dedends on what you like. some people love it some hate it.

[parker tdv]

definitely zombi u, its awesome!!

[SoldMyWiiUAndLeftTheForums]

Get ZombiU it's friggin awesome

[Mushlikeahusky]

Blops 2 is fun to play on the gamepad zombi u is really realistic and intense but Mario is good old fashion fun I have 20 hours in Mario right now.

WARNING: Rant/Hate Speach/Fan Rage incoming
--
Get either ZombiU or NSMBU, or get both (Get the ZombiU bundle + NSMBU). In my opinion, DO NOT get BLOPS II. I've been playing the game since the beginning of the holidays on PS3 with my cousin who is a die hard fan of the series. (I will be talking of the game content itself and not the playability, since I haven't played the game on the Wii U and that it's said that the game plays smoothely anyways.) I felt insulted when playing the game. I felt insulted as a gamer, and felt sad for my cousin. Look. People have said that the game is way different than the other ones, that it was innovative, that it was really going to set new standards to the series. People said "I was scared the games would always be the same from now on... but wow they say it's gonna be different" (as if they weren't already all the same but with new maps...) Well guess what? Changing the fonts and the hitmarker's color from yellow to white is not enough. Setting the campaign in near future and call the game revolutionnary isn't enough neither. (I have to say that the campaign is really good for a war game though. That was a real step up. But nobody plays campaign...) The game is not different. people try to convince us, but no. Just no. It's not different. You pay 60 dollars for a game that is the same that older ones. I feel like my cousin was robbed. Oh and this isn't even the full game. Noooo... Now you got DLC, paid DLC. You spend at the end 100 dollars on that game because of all the extra content.

Have you ever played CoD? Or have you ever owned one of the games since MW1? If you haven't and this would be your first game, then go on, for a first experience, it's always decent, but in my case, seeing Activision robbing so many people is just disgusting. That's why I don't have the game...
