Just bought a Wii U !

Just bought a wii u with mk8 this week and it's one of the best buys I've ever made ...This console does not get enough praise, everyone is far too busy complaining about graphics and sales figures, ah but can it run at 1080p 60fps etc etc .. Everyone seems to have forgotten about how the actual games play ... Can't remember the last time I had this much fun playing on a console, atm this is the best console of the 3 imo , just wish I'd of got one earlier ! Does anyone else feel the same as me or am I on my own ?

Not got a Wii U but had a games night on one with MK8 on Friday and it's just an all-round very decent game.

A classic example of fun over fancy graphics.

I think the graphics really suit the games though, really bright vibrant coolers and a nice art style , granted not as good looking as the top end pc games .. But they look amazing in comparison to the wii !

Agreed. It's the prettiest game I've played in a while. Stills don't do it any justice - in motion MK8 is stunning.

Definitely ... The slow-mos during replays look so good ! Especially if you time it well !

You've probably got one at the right time, I wish I got mine later as it's only now that a decent game has been released on it (IMO).

What about mario 3d land ? Suppose to be good I've got that

.. And gonna get wind waker hd with mk8 which is the best zelda game ever !

I completed DK but in the course of playing it I accidentally taught my kids some new words.

Haha might have to play this after I've completed all the others on my list !

Yeah sounds like my cup of tea will get it after I've completed the mario and zelda games

Thinking about getting a Wii U with MK, where is the cheapest place to buy this right now (if we can ask here?)

Got mine from Argos the nsmbu premium bundle was 250 , got the luigi game aswell with that and mass effect 3 , then bought mk8 and mario 3d about 335 I think it was for the lot, and I also got wind waker hd free with mk8 ! Too many games to play haha also thinking about getting DK .. This console is amazing

You should get commission

What game does everyone recommend to get as the free download? Zelda?

Haha your not the first person to say that to me

... I got wind waker hd , because of the art style and updated textures it is still looks good , never finished it though so I must complete it this time round , as above though I've mostly been on mk8 ! What a game ! Pc and ps4 are currently gathering dust haha
