If I buy one of those little Wii Fit U pedometers for my girlfriend, does the Wii Fit U software I downloaded ages ago, but never used, still fully unlock itself?

That offer expired yesterday. You needed to have at least run it once before then to activate the initial 31-day trial.

I've just ordered one of these off Amazon with Nintendoland, Zombi U and Rayman for £200. Don't even know if it's a good deal but persuaded my wife it was, and that the kids will like it.

So what should I be getting first? Any deals on anything else, any essential accessories needed?

Is it totally backwards compatible? To the extend of working with the Disney Infinity or Skylanders stuff?

As for the wiiU itself, sort of reminds me of buying a 3ds in 2011, and having months between games I wanted enough to buy.

How many games do you have already!? I've had one since launch and even I'm starting to get a pile of shame right now....which is about to have Runner 2 added to it as well given it's just gone cheap!

Theres not a *huge* pile granted, but if you've only just picked one up you can't surely have worked through what there is already!?

You given that ZombiU demo a download yet ;)

When Mario Kart comes out, they should relaunch a new "Wii HD Upgrade" premium pack.

Wii U console preinstalled with Wii Sports, Wii Fit U, New Super Mario Bros U and Mario Kart on disc.

Market it to the 70m+ Wii owners as "the games you love. In glorious HD. And you can still play all your old games."

Those 4 titles sold more than 100m copies on the Wii.

So everybody already has it.

But everyone already has Tomb Raider. That's not stopped people rushing out to buy the 'Super Hair and New Outfits Edition.'

But I agree really that it wouldn't shift consoles. I don't know what could help the Wii U at this point. A price cut, definitely, but I doubt it would help enough.

I personally think that their immediate business priority is to distance the WiiU brand from the Wii brand.

In my experience too many people think that they are essentially the same thing. That's certainly the case with people that I speak to including family and work colleagues.

By no means is this a complete fix for their current situation but it's a start... Isn't it? :/

I've finally got round to buying the Wonderful 101. I won't get much chance to dig into it until I finish at University at the end of May, but I have a lovely WiiU collection of games to play now. I would say, even if I never add another game to my collection, that the WiiU has been worth the outlay. Some of my games will last me for years, and I still have the Wii catalogue to dig through - I wish Nintendo would have put an upscaler in there though.

They don't. Didn't it only just break even in terms of sales?

Can anyone recommend a good screen protector for the gamepad please? The Hori and official ones seem well reviewed on Amazon yet cost over £7 for just one which seems a bit steep, especially as it's possible to screw up fitting it.

You don't need one.

I just bought the cheap Gameware one. It's not even noticeable.
