Nintendoland for me. It didn't disappoint either.



Initially, I wanted Pikmin 3. I was very disappointed by the delays, and even more disappointed by the things they needlessly took out (swarming/c-stick swarm movement, camera zooming, multiple save files). It's still a good game at it's core, but those things really should have been left in.

But I also bought it on the promise of new Mario, new Zelda, hopefully new Star Fox, Wave Race, etc.

And since then I'm also very happy by the continually expanding list of indie games that will be available for it.



Have not gotten one yet but plan to get the Wind Waker bundle.

Bayonetta 2.

Why no option for that?
The moment they announced that last year, I knew I had to have one.

I'm sure more people would have bought one for Rayman than Sonic though



I bought the console for 3D Mario, Zelda U, Smash Bros., Mario Kart, Retro Studios Games, Monolith Soft.

While waiting for these titles I will play all the other amazing titles such as Pikmin 3, Lego City, Bayonetta 2, Watch Dogs, etc.

EDIT: Also the gamepad, I loved it since the reveal of the final design.

I bought the WiiU for ZombiU and the promise of Smash Bros 4 coming
