Topic: What are you getting for Christmas?

Getting a Wii U MK8 bundle
Last Nintendo Christmases for me were 2007 (Wii) & 2004 (GC) It has been too long. My PS4 is fun but I miss Nintendo games they never grow old like cod and destiny and gta do. I may be getting older but I cant outgrow Nintendo its always fun.
Other than im getting that money and workout equipment lol

What about you?

I'm getting an island. In the caribbean, of course.

A lump of coal.

Hopefully Sonic Boom Wii U and another game, a few 2nd wave amiibo and some CDs including the latest Foo Fighters album.

... What you just said pretty much sums up what Nintendo hopes happens for Christmas. A PS4 or Xbox One only user realizing that the Wii U has great exclusives and buying a Wii U.

Nothing. I lost my job recently so my Wife and I can't afford to get each other anything... sometimes being a grown up sucks

Hmm, I'm going to snag a few amiibo and get smash, captain toad, nes remix and a new camera. That is about it because I have some really expensive purchases on the way for the next 6 months. So I have to budget/work extra shifts.

Anyone know of any must have accessories for Wii U? And are Amiibos really necessary?

Christmas is November 21st where I live.

Nothing for me but that's because I just buy what I want as long as it fits in the budget. Why wait for Christmas if you don't have to. On the accessories front, the Wii U pro controller is just awesome. Amiibos to me are just nice to have, nothing is screaming must get yet.

Sorry to hear that! Hope you'll get a new one soon.

The Pro Controller, long-life battery for the Gamepad, external HD, LAN adapter.
Since you own a Wii, you can use the Wiimotes when necessary.

amiibos aren't necessary. They are toys that can provide some fun in the games, but the idea is that they shouldn't be required.

Probably gonna be whatever games I can that I missed out on this year. And maybe Captain Toad.

Definitely about external HD if you're even considering digital unless you only care about Virtual Console and a few indie eshop games in which the 32GB model should be fine. As for amiibo, arguably the Link one is necessary as it seems to be the only way to own the Spinner weapon in Hyrule Warriors.

Depends how much overtime I can get, and how much I decide to spend on my family.

I'm most likely buying Smash though.

I use digital on my ps4 but for Wii U I'll go with disc. I like having Nintendo games physically. I already get enough indie games on ps4 lol which I never play.

Nintendo wise, Smash and some amiibos

Thanks
If you know of any Sourthern California Developers hiring Designers or QA let me know

Smash for Wii U, along with a replacement Kindle and a nice trenchcoat I hope.

I can get your resume for Activision if you are interested.

I have bought/been given 30 or so games for the Wii/Wii U since getting my Wii U last week. Plus controllers and accessories so I've been pretty good to myself. I hardly ever spend money on myself but I've had a wretched year health wise and Boyfriend and I agreed it was ok.

However it's left me not really needing anything for Christmas I have a few games on pre-order SSB4 and Captain Toad being the pick of the bunch along with Amiibos. I may get some DS games for Christmas as I have a stay in hospital planned and Kirby would be welcome company.

I hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and happy holidays especially those who have had a rough year and may next year be all the better for it.
