Just bought 3D World from Target, I'll go pick it up later today. As for Lego City, it's really tempting but I think I'm going to have to hold myself back a bit. Is it kind of like GTA with Legos? Is it linear or does it actually offer an open world lego experience? I never kept up with it too well. What's the general consensus on it?
Why would you sell the pad?
I think you should just PM me the WW code for being so....illogical
Give the system a chance and you should be pleasantly surprised. Zelda is an excellent game. Also, don't get rid of your Gamepad or you won't be able to use the EShop.

Ask me about the GAF Notebook
Don't forget to give the eShop a look!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this situation.
I was thinking I'd replace the Gamepad with a standard one and make a little extra scratch, but looking into it, it doesn't seem like a good idea.
And I want to play Zelda, just not the digital version. I'd prefer to have a physical copy.
...And then what? You need games to play on it as well.

Yeah, you'll get a PS4, with no games.
This deal nets you a Wii U plus 3 games, one of which is FUCKING AWESOME (W101), one is one of the best Zelda titles ever and the last is an okay version of Ninja Gaiden 3.
Really, you can't really go wrong with this deal.
Does not have 3 games for 100 more with 2 goty contenders in it. and besides i would rather buy a wii u then a ps4 at the moment.

Go away! I love my PS4 too, but the Wii U bundle many of us picked up on Friday was a hell of a deal. The PS4 comes with no games, so add the price of about three games and get back to me. Whether the Wii U keeps having issues financially or not, the bundle is a great deal to play all of those first party titles on. Can't wait until mine arrives.
nice packaging job, cunts:
just that with my address lol

Jesus, that's almost as bad as that japanese sexy underage packing paper stuff from a few years back.

How so? From my point of view while the PS4 & Xbox One will be pumping out amazing next-gen experiences in 2 years(and beyond) from now, the Wii U might not even be alive.
I wouldn't want to fall into the same trap I did with HD DVD - I told myself that my Hd DVD players could still play all the movies I bought for it, so who cares if it dies off before Blu-ray. Once it did die, and all the hot new releases came out only on Blu-ray, I cared.
When the Wii U stops getting releases and games like Fallout 4, Infamous, Halo, and all these other titles start pouring out for the other two systems it's going to feel like a mistake spending the $270 on the Wii U just to replay Wind Waker, and prettier versions of the various Mario(s) before Nintendo moves on.
Reread this post to see how hypocritical it is. Don't let me have to point it out haha...

What a load of bullshit
The Wii U has a better library, today.
Why do you list two first party games from the other publishers? When the PS4 and Xbox One stop getting releases like X, Zelda, Metroid, FE X SMT, you'l lfeel really sad. You also call out prettier version of the various Mario games while quoting Fallout 4, Infamous, and Halo which are going to be prettier on the new consoles. It doesn't compute.
It's fine to be more excited for the PS4 or Xbox One. But, that doesn't diminish someone else being just as excited for the Wii U.

Got one, should be here tomorrow. Picked up 3d world and Nintendo Land for cheap in anticipation. Been waiting a while for a good deal on the Wii U so I'm pretty stoked!
Nintendo will not release their (awesome) 1st and 2nd party games on PS4 or Bone. Your comparison would only work if they did.
AS...IT...STANDS.
oh...no...ethernet....that's....modern....
You can use Wii's Ethernet adaptor if you have one.
I don't see an issue with his post. He said "as it stands"
He is telling the truth. What is your issue with his post?
i definitely don't, but the update wasn't that bad....for wifi.
screen is crisper than I thought it would be!
this'll definitely replace my vita for off-TV netflixing.
really bummed I can't use the gamepad for Wii mode. My copy of REmake got here today too! oh well. if i'm not snowed in, i'll get that tomorrow. or tonight...it's only 7 and feels like midnight. yargh

Whew finally got it! Loving it so far
Some people are concerned about support for the generation, and not just what is available today.

I never thought it would be the best system when it was announced and after Wii (which I wasn't a big fan of)....but right now the Wii U is the better system. It has many more good games on it than people give it credit for and I am more excited about 2014 on the Wii U than PS4 and Xbone.

And some people are hypocrites when they cut down the Wii U lineup and say that they won't buy one until more games are released while they bought PS4 when there is hardly anything of quality on it yet.
It is OK to have a preference but say it like it is.
The PS4 has a whole generation of overwhelming third party support ahead of it. Its launch games and the promise of new games was enough to entice millions of people to purchase the console and to keep purchasing.
What Wii U was going to turn out to be was up in the air. It was expensive, didn't target their preferred demographic properly, it does nothing for the enthusiast demo that Sony targets etc. Its a whirlwind of problems.
...among other things/menus/etc...
Love my Zelda gamepad.
Also, someone mentioned that they needed an ethernet adaptor for their WiiU. As some already said, any ethernet adaptor for the Wii will work (I am using the rocketfish brand one that went on sale for $3 or something, from best buy last month).
mine just came
I'm just taking a guess, but under 5$.
For reference, Amazon is offering a staggering 1.37 in credit.

Sell Ninja Gaiden on Ebay. You will get more

Not only that, but the inside of the box was pretty much absent of any packing material. Basically the console, two games, and the accessory kit was just thrown in a big box so they could smash into each other during shipping. The Wii U game pad accessory kit was smashed, but luckily the contents unharmed. I'm surprised the console box didn't crack and smash the game cases all to hell. WTF Newegg!
