Wii U

[kcxiv]

From what I have seen its. Mario Kart 8. Plus u get a free game with that so u get 4 games total. So either get pikman 3 wonderful 101, windwaker HD. And super Mario 3D World

Trying to find that Mario Kart 8 bundle but I've yet to find a store anywhere around here that has it...sheesh....

Not looking good. I thought Mario Kart would pull Nintendo out of this tail spin...

Nintendo sold nearly 3 million copies of Mario Kart 8, but still lost $97 million last quarter. ouch.

That sucks. It's too bad really. It's a solid system with some great family games.

Just too much competition nowadays with the way prices have gone up and up with these console systems and games. Someone has to suffer.

My niece brought her WiiU on family vacation. It really is a fun system, and the controller is pretty awesome for kids as far as navigating between games and netflix and such. We had a great time playing Super Mario Bros on it. When someone is on the WiiU controller making blocks, it gets pretty insane.

Not enough attractiveness from 3rd party developers (majors, at least) is really hurting/killing the brand. They can only ride the coat tails of the likes of Mario and Zelda for so long. I wonder what a Zelda game would feel like on a different console?

nintendo made too much money on the Wii to ever consider not being a console maker. The Wii U 2: Electric Boogaloo would have to flop even harder for them to consider getting out of the console business.


I really wish Nintendo could think up a way to play the gamepad from anywhere without having to lug your console with you:

The GameCube wasn't a huge seller either.

I would never count Nintendo out.

messing around with my gamecube emulator; it is an incredibly under rated console.


as for picking up a wii u. snag it directly from nintendo.com. people have done unboxing on reddit. it is brand new. crazy good warranty like a new one.

I was just about to buy one of these for my son in the next day or two. Where's the best place to get it.

the nintendo website you can get the refurbished one which are basically brand new from what everyone says and its like 199 deal! Get the essential games and everyone will have a blast.

WiiU is really a great console. It just doesnt have the super hardcore multi platform games.

Well I finally broke down and bought one. Can I just say the registration stuff is a mess. Only wireless internet? That update took forever. So I had to register once on the console and once for club nintendo? then tie them together? Nintendo is clueless about synergy.


the games are pretty kickass.

Awesome system. I'm going to keep this one and play it with the kids as they get older, perfect family games with Mario, smash, kart, etc...

I core game on ps4 and pc, but am glad to own the wii u as an alternative.

WiiU gets most of my playtime on games these days! I just got ZombieU. I know its pretty much a launch system game, but i heard its pretty good.

Nintendo first party games are all top notch games. Its like whatever they put their hands on as far as games go are just pure gold.

So my wife was complaining that her Zoomba was freezing and beeping at her. I turned off the WiiU's wifi and that solved the problem. Apparently, Nintendo's crappy online service will lock up games if they do not ping right.

Just a heads up.
