Never understood those who write this off as just another mini game collection. They simply can't have played it. Between Pikmin, Metroid and Zelda, there's at least 20 or more hours of content with a great challenge to try to master the stages. Great game and as others have said, vastly underrated by many.
Lord, give me the strength. I only got to the second one. Going back in...

I only got to the second one. They should really let you start from the levels once you get to them. I will never play that many perfect rounds to get that far.

I got as far as having to blow into the mic before I quit to the menu. Takumaru's Ninja Castle now that's some great fun! Could totally do a time crisis collection or point blank with the game pad.

My two favourite games are Crash Course and the Animal Crossing one.
My lord, it is just so fun trying to catch people whilst they are running away from you.
So tense, it's brilliant.

The water in Pikmin 3 is so so juicy.

Y button is the same as blowing into the mic.

Cheers, didn't realise that.
Nintendoland is very underrated. The graphics, music and games are amazing. It totally works both multi and singler player.
It got major snubbed and forgotten about on best of's lists which is a dang shame. Wasnt exactly glowingly reviewed either, dunno why. I dont think reviewers dug to find its impressive depth.

Donkey Kong's Crash Course and Pikmin Adventure are my favorite single player games in Nintendo Land. Actually Pikmin Adventure turned into a co-op favorite once my girlfriend saw it.
And Mario Chase, Luigi's Ghost Mansion and Animal Crossing are god like for playing with friends. I like most Animal Crossing, for the multitasking when you play with the gamepad and the risk/reward balance for the other players. Nothing is funnier than running after a big headed guy spitting out candies.

Crash Course is definitely my favorite in the collection. Absolutely wonderful game design that rewards you for patience, understanding, and being one of the few to own a Wii U.
My other two favorites are the Yoshi and Balloon Trip levels. These are games which use the Wii U Pad in fun ways and show that Nintendo can still be all about that NES era pure gaming goodness. Yum yum.

Got to the point where I can get through all the courses fairly fast every time and it's an awesome minigame.
Kind of bummed out that the additional courses sometimes have subtle differences/variations instead of being all new but this type of design still works.
The details in the game are really well done as well.

Yeah, and when you think you've finally beaten it (completed all 12 levels), guess what - you get another set of harder levels!
Same with Pikmin Adventure, after the 16 normal level it unlocks the advanced ones. Nintendo Land is providing a lot of surprises in terms of deepness.
Most reviewers are single young men who just aren't going to have the right group to play Nintendo Land with to get its appeal beyond single player pursuits. It's a major failing in the games press and will continue to be for years to come. There just isn't any interest in reviewing Nintendo games fairly as family multiplayer experiences among traditional games reviews outlets. It unfairly compromises certain titles. This being one of them.
Nintendo Land should be a pack-in forever, just because it's so good at making people see the excitement and skill of traditional "gamer"-type videogames. It's brilliant.

Now I'll have it stuck in my head for the rest of the evening, thanks.

You become one with it over time.
My girlfriend likes Animal Crossing Candy Day better than Mario Chase.
I dont know, but the fact than you can drop all your candy to escape the guards makes it pretty funny.

Me and some friends played Nintendoland for like 4 hours the other day. Everytime we were about to stop we would just say "ok one more round." This is one of the games we kept passing back and forth. Nintendoland is super underrated, it's an amazing multiplayer game and the uses of the gamepad are actually fun as hell
whoa
for sure. maybe one that starts off with more manageable stages before working its way up.
And at night, with even better music!
A lot of the attractions in Nintendo Land have a "second quest." Staggering amount of content packed into this collection.
Donkey Kong's Crash Course is the responsible for making me understand the awesomeness behind Miiverse.
Was stuck and couldn't make a jump for my life. Posted a picture of the area I was stuck on Miiverse asking for help. 2 minutes after I had a few answers that were very helpful. Someone even post a drawing of how I should make the jump. Lovely stuff.

I can honestly say 100% of the people I know that have played Nintendo Land how found it to be surprisingly amazing. A few of the friends got so into it the evening turned onto a bitch fest about how the battery kept running out on the gamepad when they were really getting onto it. A lot of the folks I've run in to online that have actually played it have said they have had a lot of fun with it. Seems to be a nice game for those that have gotten their hands on it. Nearly all of the people I've come across that complain about it being stupid or a cheap mini game not worth the price haven't even played the game. Not saying you have to like it, but the way things spread from people who have little to know real knowledge of things is pretty sad.
Then again, I guess that is to be expected.

May I have a cookie?
What's this about a two hundred dollar Wii U and ten dollar Nintendoland?
Why wasn't there a thread about this?

Back to NES days with no Password system.
Nintendo should make an eShop title out of this with DLC for new courses, would love it.
