And as the cherry on the cake, they also started what is becoming a very disturbing and frustrating trend with Nintendo, giving the player only ONE save slot. I found this out the hard way, not having previously heard about it, and naturally ASSUMING that, like all well designed modern games, it would have multiple slots. I went to start a new game to show my friend the opening parts, and oops, "Do you wan to overwrite your data?" It was a slap in the face.

You could theoretically have an infinite number save files on Pikmin.  You just have to sign in as a different user on the home screen first.  Yeah, it is kind of a pain you have to go out of the game and back in every time you want to change, but it is possible.

Asymmetrical game play ... LOOOOOVE it. i had a lot of fun with Mario chase and Animal Crossing, hearing my son squeal and start spitting out marbles as my two guys closed in on him ... Nintendo Land was underrated.

My WiiU will still serve me well in the years to come. I have a bunch of retail games I haven't even opened yet (watchdogs, xeno and several others). I have hundreds of games for it and it is my go-to for NES and SNES games on the virtual console. Without a doubt I spent more money on software for that console than any other before it and likely any other after it.

As for MiIVerse I was constantly amazed at the artistic talent I would see on display there. MiIVerse will be missed but the WiiU will still be played quite a bit in my household.

I need more asymmetrical game play in my life.  Some of the most fun I ever had gaming was playing Pac-man Vs. with my siblings on the GameCube.  One person played as Pac-man on an attached GBA.  They could see the whole maze.  The three ghosts only got to see a small portion of the maze around them up on the TV.  It was great.

Too bad I don't really have anyone to play with me like that anymore.  I love asymmetrical game play for local multiplayer when I can though.
