Yup. You'll need a Wiimote though.

Cant I just play on the gamepad pro?

Hotukdeals had the Zelda Wii U console up for £199!
All sold out very quickly though as expected

My copy of Windwaker HD has been posted also ive just purchased the extra Pikmin 3 missions via the Eshop ...... Nice

Pikmin 3 DLC is announced...available now

Nintendo has announced the first piece of Pikmin 3 DLC is available to download now.

During today's Nintendo Direct presentation, it was announced that an update is now available that'll add one free map to the game's mission mode at no additional charge.

Alongside this, a "Collect Treasure" stage pack containing three further levels will also be available for £1.79 / $1.99 / €1.99. This is only the first of such packs, as Nintendo has confirmed more will be released in due course.

One Mission is free for the mission mode/challenge maps

Paid for DLC too...seems to be the challenge maps

Anyways I like the fact there's an additional map for free...pay options...and more on the way Nintendo seem to be getting the hang of this DLC stuff

Just so impressed by these videos today...Nintendo look to have knocked it out the park with this game

that cat suit chasing after the bird, made me laugh, it looks right on the money i was worried it was just gonna be slightly updated version of the 3ds game

3d world looks good from those trailers, impressed they've gone from announcement to release of a 3d mario game in under a year! (obviously they will have been working on it longer than that, but still)

[merlin]

Not had an email but my Ganon figure edition of Wind Waker is showing as shipped in my account.

Not bad for £49.

So the update to the screen shot feature is pretty neat. It produces really nice high res captures:

EU figure is better than the US one it seems.

EU

American

American version even requires assembly.

My WiiU and special edition Zelda have shipped, fingers crossed for tomorrow now then . Looking forward to playing this, and looks like I've getting the console at the right time Mario 3D looks very good.

Any guides to doing the screenshots ? tried photobucket but not working ...maybe its just me http://s158.photobucket.com/user/budgio/media/WiiU_screenshot_TV_01436_zpsbe103e7f.jpg.html

Yeah that works you just need to copy the URL into the tags for it to display here:

Either you picked the gamepad screenshot when you uploaded or photobucket has resized the image.
