Really though that server was getting so hard day 1 that it took me ~8 hours to download. I don't think it was overly massive (maybe a gig)?

I restart my console plenty of times and also ddropped the connection a few times too. My console survived tho.

I've heard about 4.

I would rather have a 3DS or 3DS XL.

It is going to be hard to resist the urge to not buy the 3DS from Target tomorrow. Want to play New Super Mario Bros 2 and Mario Land.

get an emulator, I just did for the DS and enjoy it so far, but it is a pain in the ass playing games like Mario Bros unless you have a controller, using a keyboard is full of fail haha

honestly though I think that this console could be amazing, it just really pines on how strong the lineup is with the newfound 3rd party support.

Although coming out of the gate, it's very weak. I might pick up zombiU or some other wii u console game soon. There's like 5 DLC games available (including Trine 2 dX)

8hrs for a 1.5 gb update is a joke. I actually think the article I read said 1-3hrs, which is still terrible.

Also, I got Trine 2 for FREE from PS+. Fuck the Wii U version.

Apparently GTA V is being considered for the Wii U.

Who cares though?

Just informing the people who actually have the console, no need to be a dick about it.

Ignore JimLeavy. if it doesn't involve Ryback he's generally not interested

I'm guessing he's balls deep for Ryback.

I don't think anyone on here does. I'm more interested about a new re-re-re-re-release of Super Mario Brothers or Legend of Link.

[christguz]

ehhh not so much. Lately the Super Mario games have been getting cheesier but that's my opinion about it of course.

Anyone that uses the excuse that there are no "mature" games for the wii and never take it as a serious console probably do.

I picked up some games thanks to Target's B2G1F deal. Got ZombiU, NintendoLand, New super mario bros wii u, and then i got sega all stars racing transformed.

Mario is mario, which is to say it's the same platforming game you usually get used to and love. The squirrel suit is amazing. You can play one-player by yourself on the gamepad, but if you try to play 2 players, you MUST use two wii motes. What the shit?

I haven't played much of ZombiU, but what I played seemed to be a bit cumbersome. Sometimes using the gamepad to "scan" the premises is really slow and it takes some getting used to just to check items on the gamepad vs the screen.

Nintendoland is a ton of minigames as you all may have known; only three of them really caught my eye: the Metroid shooter, Animal Crossing minigame, and Mario minigame. In the metroid shooter you pan up and down and try to shoot other ships. In animal crossing, a wii remote user runs around on the main screen and tries to load marbles into bowls, but the more marbles you get the slower you go. The gamepad user controls two people (one person per analog stick) and tries to stop the person. It's pretty much vice versa in the mario one, except just running. the wii mote user runs around looking for the gamepad user, and the wiimote user is assisted by two yoshis that are like search dogs.

The kart game is really fun, and for 2 players, the gamepad user is on the gamepad's screen, and the 2nd player gets the screen to themselves. Much more refreshing than split-screen.

Sorry if it seems like a quick write-up, but I've only played each game for about an hour. If you guys got any questions just let me know and I'll try to answer.
