It is really difficult to find this game in Europe, I had to visit 4 huge shops to get it, they have just Wii and 3DS versions everywhere but no Wii U version. Nice game just a "littlebit" overpriced when you consider you need to buy at least 5 more characters to finish it, if you want to open all content you need approx. 400 euro!!! It is also not funny to change characters every 2 minutes because you have to leave your sofa, walk to portal of power and return back. You will save a lot of many and walking up and down if you buy your children 3D Mario instead.
Official release date was 15th November for Europe but game was in shops much sooner, interesting... Game is very nice but there is much more violence compared to Lego city undercover so it is not suitable for small children.
What is the point of unified accounts when they can not deliver anything ? I can tell you about my experience with Club Nintendo accounts... When you create one expect a lot of surveys from Nintendo and that is all. I spent hours by writing gift codes and answering stupid questionares on club nintendos website but when I finally ordered some gifts for my little son I received nothing. I complained by email, no reply, no apology... So they withdrew 8500 star coins, delivered nothing, then they send you another stupid survey for which they offer you fantastic value - 50 more worthles points/stars or whatever... Entire nintendo account system is just dumb: e.g. I have two Wii U-s but I CAN NOT have the same account for both, or when you move to another country you CAN NOT use points from country A in country B, and it is impossible to change your accounts country etc.
I am not friend of FPS games but I have to say I was very positively surprised by this game when I found out I can play it using my old wii remote and that is very different experience! You can point your weapons laser sharp this way, cool. COD Ghosts has wii remote support too which surprisingly makes Wii U the best platform for this game! I understand graphics will be better on PS4 but this unique way of control is awsome.
Perfect game for children, Lego GTA just without sex and violence, OK there is a littlebit of cartoon violence present but not very strong, my 4 years old son was able to get to the end without help, probably best lego game so far. Just can not understand how this game could get the same rating as mediocre Wii Party U...
Nice game just beware, this game DOES NOT support third party balance boards (e.g. Big Ben). I received survey from Nintendo in which they asked if I paired my Wii fit meter, so dear Nintendo it's impossible to connect something that you can not buy, because it is not in european shops...
Very nice game, my son is 4 years old but he just loves it, some parts are too difficult for him of course. Very nice music too. Simply one perfect game.
Very nice game, not as good as Pikmin 2 in my opinion, but it has better graphics of course, it is not easy to play using wii remote because camera does not follow in correct angles.
This game is very nice, it feels a bit like Mario Kart 8, just one BIG PROBLEM, the game keeps freezing... so you have to reset your Wii U and start from the scratch, pretty frustrating especially for little children.
This game is not good, I can not understand how it could get 8/10 rating, the same rating as LEGO City Undercover or Skylanders Giants, crazy. My son (who likes Mario Party type of games very much) tried it once and he never touched it again, it is absolutely motley, you constantly have to change between gamepad and wii remote, mimigames are too simple or rather stupid. This game has just one positive, it comes with cheap wii remote if you need one. Read this review for example: http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/nov/10/wii-party-u-review
It is almost impossible to buy Nintendo products in Poland and other east european countries, no consoles, no games... so I have to buy them in Belgium. Now about customer support... I ordered some items for my little son from Nintendo club. I had to do it through UK website because they DO NOT support my native country or my language. Nintendo withdrew 8500 starcoins from my account and confirmed my orders. They never arrived of course. So I complained to [email protected] , no reply, no apology... My family owns nine nintendo consoles including three Wii-s and two Wii U-s and this is how they treat us... So my answer to your question - Why Nintendo Isn't Popular in Poland - is very simple, two words...

This is nice bundle, kids will love it for sure. Why do all people believe basic model is worse? I bought new one for 149 euro and it works without any problem. Do you think 32 GB model is enough for e-shop games? OK, so let's imagine you buy e.g. Lego City, Just Dance and NBA 2K13.... it's just 54 GB... so you'll need external USB HDD anyway... no matter which version you have.
Just imagine - you are a normal ordinary mother and you would like to buy your children "some gaming device" (because they desire to have one)... So you visit nearest TESCO and you decide you want "family friendly" Nintendo... and you see strange boxes of different shape and size... all branded "Wii": one is just Wii, the other is Wii mini and then there is Wii U basic, Wii U premium... Wii zombie, Wii Zelda... Does marketing department of Nintendo understand that normal ordinary mothers do not watch Nintendo Direct presentations and just have to be confused. Because it is confusing! Wii U is not bad product but Nintendo marketing department for sure is (very bad product)...
I am just an ordinary man but I believe Nintendo has no idea how to do marketing and advertising. In most east-european countries situation is the same as in Poland, there are no Wii-s in shops, or there is just one piece, somewhere in the corner and shops have NO GAMES for it… and even in western-european countries the situation is strange, e.g. Carrefour in Wezembeek Oppem (Belgium) offers old Wii for 143 euro and right next to it new Wii U for 149 euro, and again it’s not easy to find games for Wii U there, I didn’t find Pikmin 3 so far in any shop… There are supposedly 51 games out on the market somewhere according to nintendolife.com, but you just don’t see them in shops. So I have Wii U for children but I can’t buy games for them. Catch 22…

Re: Darksiders II
They can't get rid of this game in Cora even though they reduced it's price to 9 euro! How is it possible that game rated 8/10 just does not sell?
