Hi guys! So, I was planning to get a WiiU by Christmas. It would be my first Nintendo console that I own myself, so I guess I am becoming a Nintendo fan :). Since this is a day of mourning, I thought that I would celebrate Nintendo by buying my WiiU now instead. So my questions is:

- What games should I get? I like most genres excepts sports.

- Should I get the pro controller as well? Does it work with all games, Wii games as well?

Pro controller doesn't work with Wii Games, works with Virtual Console games and some Wii U games.

These are all physical games and exclusives:

Super Mario 3D World
The Legend of Zelda The Wind Waker HD
Mario Kart 8
Super Smash Bros.
Splatoon
Bayonetta 2 (also includes 1)
The Wonderful 101
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Hyrule Warriors
Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
Lego City Undercover
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
New Super Mario Bros. U
Pikmin 3
Rayman Legends
Nintendo Land
Zombi U

Mario kart 8.
Deus Ex: human revolution directors cut.
Super mario 3D world
Zombiu
Batman Arkham city (I actually think the games combat and story are overrated but it's still pretty great)
And download
Metroid prime trilogy (need a wiimote and chuck)
Steam world dig
Shovel knight
Plus there are a bunch of great indie titles on sale until the 27th
Games I Still want to get and you may want to consider
Rayman ledgend
Bayonetta 2
Splatoon (actually definitely get the splatoon bundles if they have it)

Bayonetta 2
Super mario 3D world
Mario kart 8
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

As on the pro controller... Its very good. BUT if you will play alone, and don't plan to play COD competitevely its not necessary, WiiU pad is very comfortable. Better get expanded battery for it.

Yoshi's wooly world
And Devil's third when it's out

In order:

Mario Kart 8 > Bayonetta 2 (&1) > Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze > Captain Toad Treasure Tracker > New Super Mario Bros. U > Super mario 3D world > Super mario 3D world.

Get an Iwata decal ;p

Zombi U is a great game to start with as it uses the gamepad well and will scare the living crap out of you...
*Thinks of the nursery stage...... Shudders*

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is a great challanging platformer, i would highly recommend you get it.
