Not games but franchises. Zelda, Mario, smash, are one of my favourite. I just NEED to play the next installment of each one xD.

The number one thing that sold me the Wii U AT LAUNCH, was backwards compatibility. This gives me the ability to play old Wii games that I wanted to replay, or newer Wii games, like Skyward Sword, or Xenoblade.

Game wise... at launch nothing excited me much at all. I wanted to play 2D Mario because I haven't played a 2D Mario on a console for years (my neighbors friend's SNES). For the longest time, I had only Mario, Scribblenauts (meh to me), and NintendoLand (okay). Rayman got delayed and only thing I had until this past August were those three games plus LEGO City...

Goes to show, when you buy at launch, you buy at a premium; bugs, glitches, slow OS, game droughts are routine.

None. Got a wii u on a good deal couple months after launch... I had intended to pick one up anyway when games that interest me were out, whatever they may turn out to be.

I still have never put a disc in or played any games on it. It is pretty much now only used for netflix and lovefilm - even though the software is buggy and locks up the system.

Was really looking forward to play watchdogs but guess my first game will be SM3DW.

However I know good days are ahead.



NSMBU to be frank.
I love my 2D platformers.

Super Luigi U is also a nice addition.

Next up is Mario 3D World and hopefully a new Zelda in 2014.



Need something off Play-Asia? http://www.play-asia.com/

im waiting for Smash Bros. not for it to come out, but to see if its worth me getting a system for it.

NSMU
I'm a ucker for Mario games



3D World, WW HD, and pretty much everything coming in 2014 will be reason enough for me.



I am sad to not see Wonderful 101 in the options. It is the best fun i had with games in some time.
That and WW:HD are the best at the moment, but smash bros, mario world, sonic, X and bayonetta are really looking great.

After playing splinter cell on it and on my PS3, i am really considering to get rayman and watch dogs for wii u instead of PC. The gameplay with the gamepad is really nice. Backwards compatibility also sold it to me.



Combination of 2 things...

3 Games I wanted: W101, Wind Waker HD and Pikmin 3
Reasonable price: 300 dollars with a game included



WWHD Bundle :D
