Sooooo
 

I Bought A wii u yet again. I'm nuts

It's a fucked, but wonderful system. Keep it.

I just got a hard drive for mine.

WiiU is awesome. Lots of great games.

As Gorilla Monsoon would say, "Wii U stop?"

Love my WiiU

Might be a good console but name kinda reminds me of a small child impersonating a siren.

Nah. It's the lyrics to Scott Steiner's WWE theme.

This is the only nintendo console I don't own...only one I didn't get at launch. I wish I wanted it but until Zelda drops i cant even begin to care about it.

I dunno dude. I'd pick it up. That Zelda game is a long ways off, and there are a lot of really good games out for it right now. Not to mention lots of great stuff coming out before Zelda.

Got some of the best Mario games ever. I assume you like those since you've bought every nintendo at launch. But Mario Bros. WiiU, 3D World, Kart, and Smash are all incredibly fun.

Bayonetta 2 is probably the best stylish action game ever made.

Yeah i love mario and they also have a dkc game that i want to play...but zelda is my console seller....

My wii was basically only used for first party games and the virtual console and if zelda truely gets passed off to their next console...i just cant justify the purchase for a potential life span of ten games

I have to say im a hardcore nintendo fanboy so please sell me on this i really want to want it

Totally forgot about DK Tropical Freeze which is also awesome.

Alright it's go time. Gonna cut a sick WiiU promo, Starting with Mario Brothers WiiU.

So like, me and my friends had a blast playing New Mario Brothers on Wii together. Collecting all the star coins and such. But when I played by myself, I only completed a few worlds before I stopped. I beat the WiiU sequel in a few days because every stage felt like it had something different and unique all the way through. It was a blast. Plus, it's got mother fucking Yoshi making his return, stone cold stunning everyone in Bowser's Castle.

3D world I do not own but played for a while at a friend's house and it was insanely fun. Probably one of the best mario games ever made. It has the format of the 2d games, where you're going from one point to another, but with 3d movement. That doesn't sound like much, but with Nintendo's creativity they just have a lot of cool fun stuff in there. It's better if I don't say anything more, and you just experience it for yourself.

Wind Waker HD
You want Zelda, son? Well hell, play wind waker. Looks Gorgeous in HD and they adjusted some things so that some of the tedious stuff from the original is no longer tedious.

Mario Kart is great like always. And like the New Mario Brothers game, this one just felt "fresher" and more unique than when I played Mario Kart wii for the first time. I dunno if it was the enhanced visuals of the WiiU, or the gravity gimmick or what, but this one is just more fun to me. Battle sucks now. That's the only crappy part. On the plus side there is some awesome dlc that adds Link as a playable racer and adds tracks inspired by other games including Zelda.

I haven't played Tropical Freeze yet, but it's basically a bigger and better sequel to DKC, which is a phenomenal platformer.

Already said all I need to say on Bayonetta 2. When I bought mine, it actually came with the first game. I dunno if that was a limited thing or what, but 2 awesome games for the price of one is something to consider.

Tekken Tag 2 is probably the best Tekken game ever. Has the full cast, and the WiiU version has exclusive Nintendo character costume customization parts.

NES Remix 1 & 2 are awesome digital releases which I will just post videos for, to rock your socks.

Then there's the stuff on the way.

Mario Maker, which lets you create your own 8-bit Mario levels without having to know how to hack a rom.

Yoshi Wooly World is llanding soon, which looks so cool with it's yarn aesthetic. I mean Kirby Epic Yarn did it first, but it works so much better with HD. It's a nintendo platformer. I don't even have to sell it.

Splatoon is like team fortress, but instead of killing dudes, you're covering the map in paint. Reports from my bud on the beta are that it's really fun.

NEW MOTHER FUCKING STARFOX BACK IN THE ARWINGS BLOWING SPACE MONKEY MECHAS OUT OF THE MOTHER FUCKING SKY COMING OUT THIS FUCKING YEAR

Freedom Planet
Ok, so this one needs a little explaining, because I'm not sure if you are familiar with Treasure. They were a company back in the 16-bit era that released crazy awesome games like Gunstar Heroes, Dynamite Heady, Ikaruga and Alien Soldier. Their distinguishing characteristic was how they threw a ton of shit at you at a fast pace. Watch a Let's Play of Alien Soldier, for instance. There's something like 30 bosses cause they throw 3 or 4 at you in a single stage.

Freedom Planet is basically Sonic the Hedgehog if it was designed by Treasure. Even the characters look like sonic characters. But it combines the speed and level design of Sonic, with the BAT SHIT INSANITY of a treasure game.

Xenoblade Chronicles X
I haven't played any of the Xenoblade on wii, because like a lot of people, I've become pretty jaded with JRPGs. On account of most of them sucking. But I keep encountering more and more people who tell me the Xenoblade is super good and I should play it. Probably gonna get the wii game on the cheap at amazon, and if I like it, spring for the Wii U.

Finally, Wii U has backwards compatability so you can play all the games you have, and any that you missed out on, right on the Wii U. It's not upscaled or anything. Still in SD, but the fact that you can play wii games gives it a big leg up on it's competitors.

btw, if you can't tell, my favorite system is Wii U. I've probably played the Xbox One more, just because some of the games on it are time sinks, but I've had the most fun playing the Wii U. Even when I was by myself. That said nothing beats local multiplayer, and Nothing. NOTHING, is more fun than local multiplayer nintendo.

You've given me a lot to think about. Truely.

Oh yeah, and Metroid Prime Trilogy is available digitally on the Wii U for 20 bucks. It's still 50 bucks and up for the disc version, because it was a limited release.

I had to rebuy NES remix. Those games are insane.

Did the first one break or did you sell it?

sold it to my sis

Wait, Starfox is coming back? Like a real Starfox game or some shit where they are on the ground Starfox game.

REAL MOTHER FUCKING STAR FOX BRO! DO A FUCKING BARREL ROLL!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hell ya. I still say "Do a barrel roll" at times. Its hilarious when people have no idea what I am talking about.

Hope Slippy learns how to not be terrible this game.

Maybe we can finally choose to be Falco or Peppy. Pick Slippy though and all your stats would go to 1.

Fuck I am excited.

Fucking hated Slippy on 64. If you were able to take the "hardest path" to the final fight where you have to dogfight before going after Andross, he dropped so fucking fast!

I got to the point where I'd let the sumbitch go down anyway. Stupid frog.

Ya. He was terrible and annoying as hell. "Whoa, watch out Fox"

Shut up, I am Fox dammit.

Also, on your TV, it will be the traditional behind-the-arwing view, but on the gamepad it will be a cockpit view. I assume you can switch them at will.

Not sure, I think Gradius (i.e., the ORIGINAL "Konami Code" game, NOT Contra...) might be on the digital marketplace or whatever it's called if you're into that sort of thing.

I believe the story goes that most fans believe the code was only intended for the guy testing Contra to make it easier by adding 30 lives and it was accidentally left in.

If that's tru, imagine if that never happened. Would we have ever known a world in which our favorite games have/had button press/password/etc. cheat codes? It's worth thinking about...

Just bought a WiiU myself. WiiWOO!

Hopefully you just traded it in for a copy of Superman 64. :shifty:

That doesn't even make any contextual sense.
