ok finally got the wife to agree to let me get a WiiU on top of my ps4(not literally) but we went to the store and there were so many freaking bundles, theres a 8gb console for 200.00  a 32gb for 300$  is it worth the extra $$$ to get the 32gb model or can i save the cash get a few games and upgrade the 8gb down the line somehow, the guy at the store had no clue if that was possible, also he was telling me the WiiU doesnt use the same controllers as the Wii and i would need to rebuy the wii motes that look the exact same to me, also is it true my Wii library including accesories like wiifit balance board wont work on the wiiU as per the bestbuy employee.  i havent paid much attention to the wiiU but i saw that they had SSB coming soon along with a slew of mario and a luigi game out now.  Plus windwaker in HD which was my fav Zelda game.  just looking for some info here.


The employee is a Gobshite

1. Wiimotes and Wii games will work on the Wii U. So will the balance board so sell your Wii.

2. I bought the Mario/ Luigi bundle for $299, then got a Nyko pro commander controller for $14 on amazon (awesome piece of kit)

3. The Wii U is awesome. If you want a local multiplayer experience try black ops 2 with dual monitor (one on tv one on gamepad) and/or Rayman Legends Both are really fun multiplayer local with the wife. Try the wonderful 101 as well.

4. The best buy employee and people like him are the reason that the Wii U doesn't sell. Also, don't listen to people saing there is no games. I'm waiting to get super mario 3D world when I have the dosh and awaiting the release of Abe New N Tasty and Bayonetta 2.
