So yesterday was my birthday, and my fiance' totally suprised me with a Wii U Deluxe and a copy of ZombiU! Pretty awesome of her =)
Got all my Wii files transferred over with a pretty intricate download progress animation of Pikmin carrying files, took a while to download updates etc. Played some Nintendoland with her, which she soon regretted, as I beat her at most of the games (I'm a "learn by beating the master" type trainer ;) )
Played zombiU, didn't like the absolutel lack of a tutorial had to erase the game a few times to just get past the first sequence. After a while of playing it, I got used to the controls. Bieng a PC+Wii gamer, I am NOT a fan of aiming with a thumbstick. I would have rather had the ability to move the game pad to aim. I feel like thumbpad for aiming is a regressive step in gaming. That said, the game is quite fun after you get the hang of the interfaces. The graphics are pretty impressive for a console game, I'd say equal or better to Lefot for Dead 2 on max settings, which is an accolade frome me.
Blakc Ops 2 might be on the near future list. Any other good reccomendations for games out there in the US shops?
