Here is a question for those with a Wii U: is Nintendo Land going to blow up big? Wii Sports pretty much made the Wii when it went viral with the casual crowd. Seriously, I can't tell you how many non-gaming adults I had come into work and tell me about this crazy new game that told you if you were over-weight and it let you play tennis and how they went out and bought one the next day. Does anything with the Wii U have that kind of potential?

I hear Nintendo Land is a lot of fun but fun doesn't always translate to casual interest.

Nintendo Land once you play it is very appealing to casuals and expert gamers. The funny thing is that you really have to get Nintendo Land in the hands of people for them to understand what its about. Personally I did not get it until I was showing the console off to friends and then I got into NL myself. And because it is a set of mini games rather than motion gaming like Wii Sports, it has that much more of a learning curve depending on the mini game you decide to play. For example the learning cure on the Metroid minigame might be higher than for Chase Mii - however both will appeal to casual gamers.

The reason I think Nintendo Land would sell just as much as Wii Sports is because once Nintendo builds a fanbase with NL, all they'll have to do is keep adding different mini games and repackaging the thing.

Also, if you check Miiverse, there is almost always more people in the NL community that any other including the NSMB U and Zombie U communities. So NL definitey is attracting people IMO.
