Don't forget to watch porn on it! Such a good feeling..... Also, you  should get Rayman Legends! The game's multiplayer is such a blast to play!

IDK if the Wii U gamepad would make Rayman better on the Wii U than on the PS4 but if I was getting Rayman it would absolutely be on the PS4. Wii U is 100% for exclusives

In this case you should get Wonderful 101! The game is charming, fun and pretty underrated ( just look at the sales.. Nobody bought it sadly.. :/ )

Welcome aboard, enjoy the ride..i recommend Zombi U, Pikmin 3, W101, Rayman Legends and try Luigi U once you have finished both Mario games. You should have the necessary skills to tackle it by then, its one tough platformer.

I went to pre-order a PS4 today. I'm still unsure about what im gonna do about the Wii U.

I would like one, but i'm a bit annoyed at Nintendo's passiveness of late. They need to try a bit harder to get me to cave in. God know i really want X.

Anyways congrats on the nice new purchase. I love the wind waker. One of the only two zelda games i enjoyed enough to finish. The other one beeing ocarina of time.

Congratulations on your purchase. You got to a great start, but I would skip New Super Mario Bros U, go for Pikmin 3 and give the chance to something different like The Wonderful 101, since you are also getting DKC: TF you may get a little saturation of platform games if you also get NSMBU. Also start saving for Mario Kart 8 that is a mandatory game purchase to play with your GF, and you may need additional controllers by that time.

If anyone is sitting on the fence about whether to get a Wii U or not here in the UK you might want to check out this deal on Amazon

http://www.hotukdeals.com/deals/wii-u-basic-nintendo-land-just-dance-bundle-wii-party-u-pack-plus-two-extra-remotes-1829293

A Basic console, 3 games and 2 Wii remotes for £180. And if you visit flubit.com you'll be able to get it a few quid cheaper than that.

NSMBU works with GamePad, Pro Controller and Wiimote (horizontal). Wiimote+Nunchuk,  Classic Controller or Classic Controller Pro don't work.

3D World works with GamePad, Pro Controller, Wiimote (horizontal), Wiimote+Nunchuk, Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro.

For DK: Tropical Freeze, GamePad, Pro Controller, Wiimote (horizontal), Wiimote+Nunchuk are confirmed. Not sure about Classic Controller and Classic Controller Pro.

I wouldn't buy a Classic Controller Pro because not many Wii U games are compatible and you have to plug it in a Wiimote.

Buy a Wiimote + Nunchuk and you can play all Wii games + NSMBU + 3D World. It's also the best method for Pikmin 3.

A Pro Controller would be the better choice if you only play Wii U games, I have several games that only support GamePad or Pro Controller.

Method to get a cheap Wiimote: buy http://www.amazon.com/Wii-Party-U-nintendo/dp/B00DC7FWRE/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1392664898&sr=8-1&keywords=wii+party+u and sell Wii Party U + horizontal stand.

I'm not sure if the PS4 version of Rayman Legends is better. It's already 1080p 60 FPS with razor sharp textures on Wii U. Asymmetric coop is amazing. If your girlfriend isn't very skilled, she can help you on the touch screen or vice versa.

Don't listen to these guys. Don't buy ANYTHING until you devote a fair amount of time to the games you already have. You don't want to be like me. I'm so overwhelmed I don't play anything. Three games still in their wrapper as we speak.

Congratz! You picked up easily the best games. Like you I never played the Wind Waker before, so playing it in HD on Wii U has been an outstanding experience. That title and SM3DW almost make owning a Wii U worth it on their own. They're both outstanding games.
