Forums - Nintendo Discussion - I Finally Got A Wii U! <(^o^<)

That's right! On my way back home today, I stopped by Target and picked one up for exactly $301.74! (Red Card eliminated most of the tax) In addition, I also got a free $50 gift card! That right there was the reason I got one now instead of waiting for Mario Kart 8, since even if Nintendo bundles it, this is still the better deal! I'm basically paying $310 for Wii U + NSMBU + MK8 afterall! Now unfortunately, imghost is being dumb so I can't upload a pic of it atm, but I can still give some impressions!

Well I actually haven't even opened the box yet, just left it sitting in my room, but I have played the Wii U numerous times before, and from that fact alone you already know I liked the system a lot, since why else would I buy it? :L
Anywhos, the Gamepad looks and feels great! Plenty of room for my big hands, and the buttons are soft yet responsive! I also remember that the touchscreen worked very well aswell. Had no problems at all with it in that Pikmin game from Nintendo Land! From my time with Mario Kart 8, the gyro thingy seems to work well enough, but hard to tell since I'm no longer used to using motion controls to play Mario Kart thanks to MK7. I of course can't comment about the OS or it's multimedia features yet, and I haven't fully played any of it's games yet either, so I guess that's all I can say for now!

Once I set-up the system, I'll get Super Mario World from Club Nintendo, and between that game and NSMBU, I should be moderately satisfied up until Mario Kart 8 releases. That's when I'll really start loving the system!
Other games I'm looking into getting include Pikmin 3, Sonic Lost World, The Wonderful 101, Super Mario 3D World, Hyrule Warriors, X, and so ons!

Welcome to the club! Many good games already out, the wonderful 101 should be a must on any list, same as pikmin. Looking forward to Mario kart 8 as well, hoping to see a lot of fellow vgcharterz there!
