Nintendo and PC gamer

Since I bought Assassins Creed 3 in November & probably buying Call Of Duty Black Ops 2 tomorrow. I can save money the next time I get paid. I'm buying the Wii U in two weeks hopefully. I'll buy it with a Pro Controller, but I'm take some money from my last pay day to support it.  The Deluxe Wii U itself & Mario U will be all next pay day money. That's over $600 with tax included with every game I got b4, and the day that I get the Wii U console.  But I'm using the spend money now save money later approach.



Premium pack - 300 EUR
Two nunchucks - 25 EUR (so I have four now)

Might buy Nano Assault whenever I can fix my NID.

I picked up a delux (350) plus 4 games, a pro controller, a wiimote and nunchuck and Trine2. Add in tax and that's a lot. I am very happy with the system and every game is great so I have no buyers remorse so far. I had saved games like AC3, Batman and Blops to try on the Wii U.

A word of caution, I absolutely love the Pro Controller (my favorite for any system now). It looks great and plays great. But it doesn't play on MarioU. That's a shame, cause it would be absolutely perfect for it. The Gamepad is also outstanding and it gets used for most games I play. I've only really used the Pro for Blops since i can't use it for mario. I may use it for AC3 in the future since the pad doesn't ad much to that, but for batman the screan and speakers are really cool. I guess I'm saying don't waste money on a pro if you won't have a game that supports it
