Yeah.. I like Mario... but LOZ is why I will always own nintendo consoles (or whatever hardware is required to play nintendo games) I bought that zelda edition wii u so I could be ready when the inevitable wii u zelda comes out. Bought a 3ds for a link between worlds. I didn't wait for the zelda themed 3ds I knew was gonna have to come out.. kinda didn't like it at first, but I regret that decision now
In a gamestop on black friday.. there were numerous people that came in wanting to buy a ps4. Each one of them they let know that they had xbox one's in stock. One couple and myself seemed to be the only ones that were interested in wii U games. Sadly. Hopefully they get some more must have titles out. I want more to play.. and hope they are able to sell more systems as well.
Oddly enough, I didn't want a Wii U because the gamepad looked uncomfortable. Playing the entire New Super Mario Bros Wii U Demo in walmart changed my mind. I'm on the fence about how they should use it though. I like the games that have off screen play, but would like to see some more creative ways of the gamepad being used, that could take out off screen play. Just depends on the game I guess.
I'd really like to see some interaction between the 3ds and the wii u. The same kind of stuff Nintendo was talking about doing with the wii and DS, that we didn't see much of.
I do dislike the battery life on the gamepad as well. Sure, you CAN play with a cord plugged into it.. but who wants to?
Best advertisement for me was the kiosk set up in walmart. The gamepad looked terribly uncomfortable. Them having new super mario bros wii u demo on the console sold them a unit, and got them an advocate for the system. I thought the same thing about the wiimotes. Guess I need to quit doubting and wait until I hold these things
Yeah.. I want these. I wonder what happned to the toys on top of the mario birthday cake I had one year. At least they aren't zelda toys.. Not having the chest with a link between worlds was enough of a blow.
When I was bringing my 3ds into the building at work.. I kept stree passing the same guy. Other than that. I don't get much. When I need passes, I use the home pass solution.
Being as I need Wifi to use it, and I usually only have wifi at home so this won't really help me to use it much more than I do. Still its a welcome change, as is the account balances. Here's to hoping thta on next direct its announced that purchases available on both systems only have to be purchased on one system to be owned on both.
@gurtifus Not all wiis do though. The later ones.. or that wierd mini does not play cambue games. Adding that line would only add to more confusion, I'm betting any consumer interested in that feature wouldn't need this chart. I just hope this drums up some sales for this console. I really like what they are doing here, and bigger installed base means more third party games.
I bought this used from gamestop the same day I picked up my wii U. I got the windwaker edition so it was not a pack in for me. The little bit of it I have played I like.
Man, this game was awesome. I put countless hours into playing this game when I was little and will likely put in countless more once this is released.

I don't get how NA gets screwed on the VC. I want a link to the past on wii U more than this.

Re: Nintendo Download: 21st November (Europe)
nothing for me. Getting a link between worlds on release day from best buy. Should have taken a day off. LOL
Re: Check out These Awesome Super Mario Happy Meal Toys

Re: Nintendo Updates Available Club Nintendo Reward Games in North America
Yeah.. if a link to the past was on 3ds or was a wii u version I would... Not being able to play it on my gamepad is not enticing.

Re: Super Mario Galaxy Is Eurogamer's Game of the Generation
Hard to argue, I enjoyed that game quite a bit. Sadly super mario galaxy 2, while it didn't suck, was not as good.
