Nintendo Wii U

[mr_woo]

A couple of days ago I bought Super Mario Bros U, even though I don't own a Wii U.

Thus begins a slippery slope.

I'm just filling my basket online... Wii U Mario Kart bundle... Bayonetta 2... all I've got to do is click CHECKOUT...

Kirby's Epic yarn is superb! I bought it secondhand in Game last year for £9.99 or something, and what a bargain that was!

I got it for £6.99 from Argos

I of course shall play many different games, I have a PC and PS4 as well, but there's something magical about playing Nintendo games at xmas for me. It's very big on the nostalgia (Nintendo and Sega games/consoles at xmas time) but I at least know that every game I listed above will be pretty damn polished and not need loads of patches and actually fucking work. Plus the fact that Nintendo always put gameplay first and generally strive for 60fps, I appreciate that

If cutting my lawn was as fun as going outside and swinging a sword around whilst yelling 'ha ha HIIIIIYAAA!', I'd have the shortest lawn on the street.

Any new Wii U owners or people searching for new games should go for Lego City Undercover, incredibly fun. Never owned a game in which I've consistently laughed out loud and generally just enjoyed the experience.

[Lorfarius]

LCU deserves a lot more love. People always go for the big Nintendo titles but its one of the best games it has.

[Captain Kelsten]

You know, one of the reasons owning a Wii u is awesome is because you get to listen to tracks like this as you play

Has everyone else known about this premium points thing all along? I have just discovered that I have £25 in download codes, which is a very pleasant surprise! But I had absolutely no idea I was accruing this. And then they put the website link halfway down the store page, not at the top...

Not complaining at all, quite the opposite, but it does seem to be being handled in a very, well, Nintendo way...

Lucky you checked when you did because if you haven't redeemed them by the end of this month they'd be useless.

[Not Thread Owner]

You've until The end of March to claim them:

"Please note: the deadline for earning points in the Nintendo Network Premium reward programme is 31st December 2014. Only eligible purchases or eligible download codes used in Nintendo eShop for Wii U before 31st December 2014 will qualify for this promotion. The deadline to exchange your points for an activation code is 31st March 2015."

[Hitcher]

That's better then.

I've got a wii u basic coming for the kids on crimble day. I think I probably want a recharge stand and batteries (high capacity?? For the gamepad and a hard drive. Anyone point me in the right direction please? Also any other accessories deemed very useful to have? I have a wii so already have remotes and nunchucks.. Help!

I'd definitely get the Pro Controller.

[womblingfree]

I just realised I've not turned on the PS4 or PS3 since the WiiU arrived a couple of weeks back. In fact I've not stopped playing Mario Kart 8.

[HarryBizzle]

My Pro Controller showed up 12 days after I ordered it from Nippon Yasan for £23 delivered. And it's a white one, so looks nicer than the black, too. Worth it. Looks lovely.

Is xenoblade still worth purchasing in this day and age?

[SMD]

Yes

[mdn2]

Definitely yes.

[dataDave]

Yep.

[Alexlotl]

Looks pretty damn nice upscaled too, at least on my 32 inch telly. I've been slowly playing through it for the last few months - my Wii U is mostly just a Wii HDMI at the moment.

[SMD]

The graphics hold up because the world is brilliantly realised. It looks like a turbo PS2 game but they managed the limitations fantastically. It's why I can't wait for the 3DS port and the Wii U sequel.

I miss this game.

[Calashnikov]

I watched that and closed the tab chucklng just after Luigi bounces her off the track and the screen fades to black. I didn't see the final Bullet Bill humiliation until I went to post it myself on Facebook

[The Fox]

Bought wind waker HD. Absolutely adored it on GC and it was only a last minute change of mind that it wasn't my free Mario kart game (went for monster hunter in the hope it finally clicked and my god, did it ever!). Can't wait to play wind waker again, though.

Where did you get it from? I'm regretting not getting it for £25 from Tesco a couple of weeks ago.

[Yewone]

I don't suppose anyone has any spare codes for Club Nintendo Points? Having rifled through my collection (and having to submit christ knows how many of those awful surveys) I'm now just 100 points short of getting the Mario Kart 8 Pin Badge set.

I could even send you a code back once I make my next purchase.

[Graham S]

I've got some. Pm on its way.

[carlospie]

I have some if needed

[Yewone]

I've got some. Pm on its way.

Awesome cheers

I have some if needed

Cheers for the offer, should be okay now, Thanks again guys

[Yewone]

Despite Graham's generosity I didn't realise that you can't enter points for a game you already own (although it makes sense) which unfortunately rules out the majority of the WiuU titles.

Don't suppose anyone has any from DS/3DS titles, as I dont own many of those. Sorry for clogging the thread, this last 100 points are bugging me though

I've got fucking tons of them. Want to PM me some DS/3ds game suggestions and I'll have a root about.

Why on earth did you delete the NNID? Any console platform will stop you playing games if the purchasing account isn't on the machine.

[alex3d]

Have you deleted it? Then no chance.
