Nintendo Wii-U

Tomorrow is the day! Unless of course you preordered at Gamestop or live outside the U.S. In that case, today is the day, last week was the day, or 2 weeks ago was the day.

I was going o go to the Nintendo world store near me, for the Pikmin 3 launch event. They were letting you buy it early. Alas....twas for not.

Anyone here played the demo for wonderful 101? Its so much fun. Sleeper hit I reckon.

This game f00king rocks!

I've never played the previous installments, so this franchise is new to me.
The only thing I wish was different was the time restriction. Well, in this game it's from sun set to sun down. I love exploring and not having to rush through, but I see why they needed to put a timer (there would be no point in collecting fruit).

This one is an easy 8.5/10 grade from me.

Oh I'm in now...i've been waiting for a price drop....adding in the Zelda game is great too.

EDIT: just noticed it's a Zelda themed game pad...swa-weet!

Hi Rez pic of the bundle to see the gamepad better.

Between this bundle and DS news I'm losing faith in Nintendo. I was stoked to see a zelda bundle, but was bummed to see a dissapointingly marginal price cut for the system, a lack of unique design features (a gold WiiU would have been nice), and only digital versions of the game and hyrule historia?). Hard to collect digital content IMO. Maybe I'm just getting too old for this stuff hahaha.

I like the idea of a gold one but don't think i'd like looking it after a while.

Here's a great guide box set:

So is the Mario coming out REGULAR Mario? (kinda like galaxy's?)

 

[darthviper107]

It's a 3D Mario but they're not doing as much new stuff like they did with Galaxy

 

[OSCORP]

As long as it's reg Mario i'm down. Really need to hear some news on the NEW Zelda.

 

[Centurion]

That's an awesome bundle.
If I didn't already have one, but was waiting for an incentive, this would be enough for me to make a move.

Also, I'll be picking up Zelda Wind Waker HD. It'll be the first time for me to play Wind Waker.

Nice going to wait for that Zelda bundle for sure. I was going to buy a Wii u for around 250 off craigslist but now I will just wait it out.

 

[Chapter 2099]

Very cool for Zelda fans. Still not enough to entice me to buy it though. Looks sharp though.

So is the Mario coming out REGULAR Mario? (kinda like galaxy's?)

Depends on your idea of "regular". To me, "regular" Mario is 2D sidescrolling, and that game already came out last November. If you're looking for newfangled 3D Mario, then that's coming later this year.

Anyone needing Wii U accessories check out Best Buy. They have the white pro controllers on clearance for $34.99 and the silicone covers for the gamepad on clearance for $8.99. Grabbed a blue, red and black cover.

I didn't even know there were covers.
Thanks for the heads up!

 

[Natrix]

They are pretty decent other than the bottom strip under the screen being a little flimsy, keeps the fingerprint smudges off the shiny black plastic anyways!

 

[Kabukiman]

Anybody get Rayman Legends yet? Mine is still in the mail slowly making it's way to me and it's driving me mad.

Supposedly, it's the greatest game in the history of man. I've been loving the challenge app, but I'm really itching to try the full game.
