I'm actually liking it, not as much as other Nintendo games on the console, but still I'm liking what I'm playing. 


Yeah it's definitely decent, I just got a bit bored of it halfway through.  This has made me realise I haven't played a bad game on Wii U yet

Waiting for the price to go down significantly before purchase.


How low would you want it to go?

The $350 bundle with Smash, Mario Kart, 3d World and NintendoLand was a pretty good deal.


It's only a good deal if that's how much you value the games and the console. Like compare that to the 330 XBO. Games as well(whether as good or not is opinion, I'd prefer the Wii U games) but at least with the XBO you're gonna get great 3rd party support and games with a higher fidelty.

Like, if you look at November and October, including 3rd party games, the choice of a Wii U and XBO at the same price, IMO it's very hard to justify getting the Wii U.

Oh I know! I was just wondering what he would think is a good deal and if those would be games he would plan on getting the Wii U for.

I think it's a really nice deal, but like you said it depends on if you want those games and value it for that price.

I don't think that deal was available in Canada but my friend really wanted a Wii U and ended up getting a deal at Wal Mart with Mario Kart, NintendoLand and Wind Waker HD for $299.99 which is a pretty similar deal.

I didn't even know these bundles were available. Geez I missed out. I was gonna buy my little cousin a Wii U for her upcoming birthday, if I had known about this deal I would have snagged one up now. Are the games digital or physical?

I'm not sure about the $350 deal, I'm gonna take a stab and say 2 out of the 4 are physical, maybe 3? It would be tough to have more than 2 digital though with only a 32GB hard drive.

I know the Wal Mart Canada one at least one game was physical, if you bought the bundle you could go grab a copy of Wind Waker or Donkey Kong. I think Mario Kart was physical though, and Nintendoland was probably digital.

I'm sure there will be a few more deals upcoming though, I'll let you know if I see any! Just gotta keep an eye out :)

Breaking the quote tree before Cone yells at me.

Thanks for the info and I appreciate you looking out for it. My cousin saw my playing 3D World and was very interested in getting a Wii U. Figured it'd be the perfect console to get a 9 year old into gaming.

What is the worst Wii U game you have played? There seems to be a fair amount of terrible ones


Ava and Avior recyclers. The title is something like that. Terrible game! Red Riding Hood gets a close second.

What about worst retail?  Mine was Splinter Cell Blacklist, which wasn't really bad, just extremely average

Uh, yes I agree. Also Game&Wario didn't meet my expectations.

Check out The Letter to know what is bad. 



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

Do you feel accomplished or sad when looking at your Wii U library?

I actually made the mistake of quoting you when I meant to quote the person after you haha sorry! I didn't mean to imply that you didn't know value. I actually meant to reply to the other guy who basically said give up gaming if you weren't willing to buy a Wii U for 350 :/

FWIW I also think the deal is pretty solid!
