Hi there,

I have been contemplating purchasing a Wii U for quite a while now. I had resolved to wait till next December (2013) to see what Sony and Microsoft would be offering. That was, until my wife played Wii Fit with her friends and then came and asked me if we could buy the system. So, happily enough for both of us, I got to tell her that I had already looked into it and would be on board. Decision completed, now it's up to me to buy the darned thing.

On my shopping list so far:

1 Nintendo Wii U Deluxe 32 GB (with Nintendo Land)
4 Wii U Remotes with Motion Plus (1 Blue, 1 Pink, 1 Black, 1 White)
1 New Super Mario Bros U
1 Wii Fit Plus & Balance Board

Do I need anything else? Nun-chunks? Pro Controller? Alternative recommendations? There are so many accessories that it's hard to figure out what I do need and don't need.

Anyhow, I appreciate any help!

Cheers,

... Elliot, or "Starfighter." I am a longtime Nintendo fan who never bought the Wii but played it extensively anyhow with friends, family, and co-workers (my office was relentless with Wii themed activities centered around bowling and home run derby). I am on the fence about the Wii U. I was really wanting to fall in love with it but all of the negativity, warranted or not, has put a damper on my excitement. I am signing up here to learn more about the system and see if its something worth buying. I am also looking forward to meeting some interesting gamers. Some of my favorite console games include Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Tekken, and Donkey Kong. Cheers!
