-The greatest Mario kart ever.
-The Gamepad is perfect for non-gaming activities such as YouTube.
-Nintendoland, which I at one point regretted buying, turned out to be FANTASTIC when I played it with friends! We played it for 3 hours straight and had so much fun! Perfect way to use the Gamepad!
-Did you see that Smash Direct today?
-It shows that you do not need a ton of power to make games look great. It takes dedication, not specs.

Amen brotha, one of my favorites as well, only surpassed by the classic 2D Mario series. Still haven't played the Wii U version (as I'm waiting on a price drop), but loved the Wii game. Not as good as the original 3, and especially the first 2, but still a solid 2D platformer. Love the sig too heh..

I personally love browsing the internet on the pad.

I only wish people weren't so obsessed with graphics when gameplay is infinitely more enjoyable.

To be fair the graphics on WiiU are gorgeous, super colorful and happy.

I love it because it's well rounded. It has what I call the "Nintendo Charm". It's also a beautiful console, in its simplicity of design. The GamePad is really handy. I think the implementation of the console's features could be better linked together, instead of being disjointed like they are now. It would be nice to be able to continue playing, while being able to go online and look things up on the store or wiiverse, etc...

But the main reason why I love this console as much as I do is because this is coming to it:

That's the magic of art style: can still look good after years.

To play the best games of the industry.

2 words, free.. cable. Sure the games and all that are great but the wii u has one of if not the best web browser out there. There is a website I visit that streams just about every cable popular cable show(HBO and netflix included but doesn't have movies). Ps3/ps4/360/xb1 browsers can't really handle it. Shit just doesn't play but the Wii U plays it just fine and it's great because it keeps all the web stuff on the controller and streams the video on the tv at 720p and honestly can't tell the difference if ya had 2 Tv's next to each other, one with cable and one streaming from the wiiU. well except the wiiu doesn't have commercials. Obviously a Ruku/Chromecast is better/more affordable but along with the games the streaming feature is a really nice touch and sadly I've watched more tv with it then played games but that's only because I don't buy many games for it anymore. Really loved ZombiU tho and I hope they continue that franchise.

Yes, Zelda NES is stilll very interesting to look at. The gameplay reminds me of Demon´s Souls in how unforgiving it is. But, to be fair, Zelda is harder cause there is a cheat code gllitch in Demon´s souls that duplicate items...
