It's a collection of challenges based on NES games, it's really good :D

You need to get it if you get a Wii U :D

Exactly what I was thinking. I've been tempted to get a Wii U for a while for Super Mario 3D World but it's overpriced and underpowered; better off keeping money aside for PS4 really. :idc:

This means no special 3rd party games. So they have to rely on Mario and Zelda for all their sales.

I like the Wii U, but it is lacking the classic Games that you get on the Playstation.

Galaxy 2 arrived today

Kyle 28-01-2014 07:50 PM

Spent the last two days on lego city undercover which is a wii U exclusive. A hilarious game and beautiful too.

Kyle 29-01-2014 09:46 AM

For anyone with a wii U

Trine 2 is currently on sale in the nintendo e-shop at 5.49 (usually 13.99).

It's the directors cut with wii u exclusive Content.

HD 29-01-2014 09:52 AM

I think we're the only ones with a Wii U Kyle
:hehe:

HD 29-01-2014 10:16 AM

I also have a Wii U, got it at launch, thats why I'm so disappointed in it.

Kyle 29-01-2014 11:12 AM

I'm not disappointed at all. I've had loads of fun with it. Local co-op especially.

HD 29-01-2014 11:23 AM

I got it at launch too, I'm abit pissed with the price drops but that's about it

There's absolutely nothing to play apart from Lego City Undercover, it's fine if you like playing Mario games since they seem to release new ones of that every other week. They could have at least have spent some money on new IPs or perhaps revived some old ones. Nintendo are extremely lazy when it comes to their games, they just slap "Super Mario" on any old ****, and throw out a Zelda game every other year, and thats it. Once upon a time, Nintendo was home to the likes of Metal Gear and Final Fantasy, hell, Resident Evil 4 began as a Nintendo exclusive too! Now its just the same old crap.

Galaxy 2 is amazing :lovedup:

Nintendo DS Virtual Console coming soon to Wii U.

Would have preferred N64 or Dreamcast...

Oh god, just give us Gamecube VC already!

Also, Iwata pushing Nintendo's "Third Pillar" as medical technology?! He's gone nuts, I swear.

Interesting tidbit in that he is talking about their "Next console" being account based rather than device based. This implies their next console is going to come sooner rather than later :O

It'll be good for the few people who don't have a DS since it has a huge library of great games but I guess a good portion of the people who own a Wii U will also own a DS/3DS which kind of makes the Wii U ports pointless.

Smithy 17-02-2014 09:51 PM

£189.99 on amazon gonna order one next week :D
