The only system I bought for myself at launch on pre-order. I saved it for Christmas. I was newly single that year after a long and fairly lousy relationship, had a good job for the first time and treated myself to a Wii U and a slew of launch titles. It was a wonderful self-indulgence and a happy time. That winter I played a tonne of BLOPS2, my first COD I owned, and Xenoblade Chronicles. I hosted parties and girls loved picking songs using the Wii U touch screen. Such happy times. Before the dark Wii U times. It's kinda sad that despite the great start I won't really miss the machine. After getting an XBOne everything about the old girl seemed dated.
