So we busted this open yesterday of course and been playing it. Pretty cool.

The only thing I have some complaints about is the battery life of the game pad. Only last about 2 1/2 hours on a full charge. Can't wait to see how future games utilize the game pad. We only have two games right now. Nintendoland and Skylanders.

Anyone else recommend anything?

Wii U getting a system update to speed up the interface. Lots of people have complained about the slow system speeds.

They need BETTER games. And the need to do a better job leveraging the hardware.

Some of the titles out so far (yes, I'm looking at you Zombie U) are just ****ing awful.

And the seemingly cobbled together support (in most games) for the gamepad screen and other "selling points" are shameful.

Sure, there's a couple of GREAT games but overall the Wii U experience has been thoroughly underwhelming.

Agreed. I havent played Zombie U yet.

I like the system and think it holds alot of potential, but yea, games need to increase in quality and quantity.

I see a lot of potential but a lot of that has been fueled by Nintendo touting all these great features. So far, it seems to be vaporware.

My Wii system has been screwed up for a while now (freezes up all the time), and I finally decided to do something about it. And that thing is...sending it in for repair. Based on everything I'm hearing, it's just not worth the $300+ at this point to upgrade.

Picked up Lego City Undercover for the son and I to play last night. I guess it got delayed a few days. Only played a few minutes last night, but seems like its going to be alot of fun.

This games rocks! My son and I had alot of fun with it over the weekend.

Its basically a GTA type of game where you walk/drive around the city and interact with alot of different things.

There is a tooooon of levels/missions/stuff to unlock. far more detailed than any other lego game i have ever played.

The story and cut scenes are pretty funny as well. Tons of parodies cop cliches and movies.
