I just bought a WiiU!  Saw that Nintendo was selling them for $200 plus tax and shipping and pulled the trigger almost right away.  It comes with a pro controller as well and Nintendo Land (which I will most likely sell AFTER TRYING OUT as I don't like minigame collections).  I heard great reviews from gaf about the refurbished Nintendo sold consoles so I figured now was as good a time as any!

Also found WWHD on Ebay for $30 so I've got something to go with it aside from Wii games.  Now I've always told you guys I'm a Nintendo and Sony fan and I said I would get WiiU when it had enough games and was at $200 or so.  Luckily Nintendo afforded me that very opportunity.  Can't wait to catch up on DKC, SM3DW, WWHD, Zelda TP (I'm going to get it for Wii and use BC since I never got to it), and of course MK8 (can't wait to play it this Fall with roommates).  Just a few questions for you guys aside from celebration.

EDIT: Questions have been answered thanks everyone!

1. No
2. Yes
3. Pretty fast
4. Slightly out of the way, but still fine.

yeah I figured not but that's fine since I have classic pro and wiimote available.

Congrats, mine comes tomorrow.

That strange moment when you payed half the price i did on release...
Congrats though!
I hope you enjoy it! :)

I had to wait I'm afraid.  I love Nintendo games but not a fan of the new 2D Mario.  I was shocked by how low they were re-selling it for and apparently they are in basically new condition.  I know that feel though.  The only PS4 launch game I have kept is Resogun.  KZ was fun and AC4 was even more fun but I simply couldn't wait lol.

3DWorld is a masterpiece and everyone should play it.
invite a friend over and play 3d world and prepare for memories.

It was my post right that made you aware of the $200 refurb on their online store right?

Buy Super Mario 3D World immediately. It's one of my favorite games of all-time. A true masterpiece.

3D World and MK8 are great with friends. Tropical Freeze is awesome (the soundtrack is one of the best I've heard in a while) but the co-op isn't that good.
