Sorry guys, im doing the internet wrong, let me start again, this is new for me, so give me a chance.
The WiiU is FANTASTIC!
It is a really GREAT games console & media device, I love the fact that my digital purchases are tied to my console, so if it breaks or is stolen, I get to buy all my stuff again.
I just cant resist buying 20 year old games again & again & again, even though I already bought them on Wii & 3DS.
Theres loads of AWESOME games, I literally dont know what to buy for it next, theres so much choice!
I dont really like online multiplayer or leaderboards anyway.
All the great TV ads for the WiiU are making my friends with Xbox & playstations really jealous.
I dont care about playing Minecraft, FIFA or World of tanks, those games are rubbish, half the worlds population must be wrong!
I love all the "indie" games too, I dont care that they are twice the price than they are on steam.
Im going to tell everyone to buy one.
I know better than everyone else because im a smug Nintendo owner & if anyone says anything bad about Nintendo or anything they do I will call them a troll or a fanboy & tell them to shut up.
/fixed
Thanks for the advice guys, ive seen the light, its not Nintendos fault in any way, its my fault & the fault of those evil 3rd party publishers!
yay, im on the winning team, GO NINTENDO!
PS, this "bundle" is great value too, dont bother buying the items separately for less, that would be foolish.
@ULTRA-64 Im hardly embarassed, because I bought a console that turned out to be rubbish! I think Nintendo should be embarassed. The 360 runs rings around it. (& before you start calling me a fanboy, I dont even own an xbox 360) I was disappointed with my WiiU & so were the kids, which is sad, unfortunately if you say a bad word about the WiiU on here, you are told to shut up or made out to be a liar by the likes of @darkgamer001 who thinks I didnt buy a WiiU. Why would I not shout from the rooftops that the WiiU is rubbish? should I just pretend its great & tell everyone to buy one! Hardly, Look at this site, "Nintendo Life" virtually everyday they post a news story about the WiiU failing, I think they are doing a great job of undermining it on their own.
@ULTRA-64 yeah I bought 2, one for me & one for the kids, you must have a short memory, we were promised a "next gen" console, that was aimed at hardcore gamers & casual gamers alike, what did we get? an underpowered piece of tat with virtually no 3rd party support, a poor online account & friends system.
Ive owned every Nintendo console since the NES, the WiiU is the worst yet, the world has moved on, unfortunately, Nintendo has not, deal with it!
Shouting about it on here wont save it.
No thanks Nintendo, £300 for a console that has failed!
I already bought 2 at launch & have since sold them.
Maybe you can redeem yourselves in the next console generation (but I doubt it)
Yet another Donkey Kong Country rehash wont save you now!
Stick with the handhelds.
What a load of crap, I feel like I've wandered into an episode of "The Office"
Just give us a decent account system & quality hardware (not last gen) & for the love of god just give the people the games they want!!! Zelda HD, MarioKart 8, SSB, F Zero, Metroid, N64 VC, GameCube VC.

Maybe we move in different circles then, but I can tell you this, I have 3 sons (aged 5, 7, 9) not one of their friends at school has a WiiU, they mostly have xbox 360 & PS3's (& they all have Ipads) they play Minecraft, FIFA 14 & Terraria, they play together online & use xbox party chat or if they are not gaming they are watching youtube videos on the Ipad.
None of them seem remotely interested in WiiU & their parents havent got a clue either.
Nintendo with its outdated account system & online functionality is becoming more & more irrelevant.
This is a serious problem for the future of Nintendo & its home console ambitions.
Lets face it, the WiiU is nearly dead, I dont know anyone else who owns one, People just dont get it, they think a WiiU is an add on for the original Wii The PS4 & XBONE are far superior consoles, more powerful, more storage, blu ray capable & (dare I say it) "cooler" I wish Nintendo had chosen another name other than WiiU & avoided the gamepad (which could have been an optional extra maybe?) The online features are disappointing too, they dont even compare with an xbox 360 from 7 years ago! Sad times.
The best Nintendo console ever in my opinion. I have a SP Famicom edition & a yellow pikachu SP, As well as A gameboy micro famicom. I still play On them regularly, a lot more than my 3DS tbh. There are a stack of NES games available, some awesome snes conversions as well as games like, final fight, street fighter, sonic advance & chu chu rocket. The games are cheap & plentiful on EBAY (not forgetting all the original GB games that you can play) Too.
We have them in the UK, Sainsburys are selling them £15 or £25, they are boring plain cards though, no mario or zelda ones. (they are the fastcard type, the same kind as the Itunes gift cards & B&Q ones that are activated by swiping through the card reader at the till)
Well, im still waiting for my copy, I pre-ordered it with Game online, I checked the tracking number today & it still says "your item is held as a preorder" which means they dont have any stock.
With Christmas fast approaching & the releases of Starfox, Mario Land & Mario Kart 7, expect to see 3DS sales rocketing at this new lower price & no PS Vita until 2012, Nintendo 3DS is going to be a massive by the end of the year.
