Ahhh. There I was on Christmas of 2012 excited and thankful for the gifts I was about to unwrap. What's the perfect gift for a 15 year old gamer anyways? My Mom gives me this big box and tells me I "may like this one". So I unwrap it and BOOM... the Nintendo Wii U console!
I remember that Christmas exactly when I got the Wii U and it was very exciting! I remember showing my Mom on how big the Wii U gamepad was and I told her that it was the most powerful console out right now (for like a year lol) and it was great. At that moment I thought it was the begining of another sucessful 100 Million units sold console! Like I was buying 3rd party game son it, Black ops 2, Assasin's Creed III, The Amazing Spider Man ect ect. I was enjoying the hell out of 1st party games that were out at the time. It was great!
Playing Nintendo Land was very impressive. I remember sitting in my room walking around the carnival-like place being sooo amazed with the graphics. New Super Mario Bros U was also beautiful too. I did the Wii to Wii U transfer so I can play my Wii games too. Why would I start all over on my Wii games? I enjoyed the Pikmin movie that was displayed while it loaded, it was great! The music was cute and it suited my cup of French Vanilla coffee I was drinking. My 2 cousins came to visit the day after and we had A LAUGH with my Wii U. Super mario chase was soo fun and the Luigi Mansion mini game too. It felt like I was going to have this laugh for the next 7-8 years. I couldn't wait for the next Mario Kart, Super Smash Bros, Pikmin, Donkey Kong(sadly), and ZELDA to come out for this new system and I thought this would be the best experience ever!
At this time the Wii U was soo full of life and energy and everyone was expecting it to replace the Wii's success. Best days ever. I did have a blast with the Wii U, but the blast was shortened. Wii U, you were amazing.
