Already have 5 of the free games. Need to decide between Game & Wario, Wonderful 101, Wii Party U, Monster Hunter 3 and Mario & Sonic Olympics.

Leaning towards Monster Hunter 3 after watching all the reviews. Game & Wario and Mario & Sonic both scored horribly.

Got the Big W deal. Paid $358 for the bundle, there was a few people there all buying the game though so had no problem. Bought a pro controller aswell. Finally set everything up. Looking forward to MK8 :D

I'll add my ID later if anyone wants to add me.
Is that the 32 gig version?

Guys I need some help. Just got a Wii U (never owned a Wii before) and want to play through the old Wii games. Now, will I need the classic Wii remote to play these games, or will the new Wii remote plus work with the old games? Cheers

Nintendo have been canned for it but I actually don't mind the idea of selling consoles with very limited HDD sizes (8gbs probably pushing it, 32gb is about right) but making external HDDs work flawlessly from the start. Look how many people bought a PS4 and upgraded to larger HDDs on day one (on this, can you do it with a Wii U? Like buy a 1tb hdd and put it in, I'd probably do that). It allows them to sell the console a bit cheaper and people can just use their own external hdds.

Also starting to really like what the Wii U offers, while its been slow its starting to build up a pretty good library of quality games. Nintendo admitted they underestimated how long it would take them to step up to HD and we've had some delays and no doubt need big announcements at E3 but at least they are taking their time and releasing quality products. Perfect console to compliment a PS4/Xbone and just offers you something a bit different.

Really loving the off TV gameplay with the gamepad, never really used it that much before. When Nintendo release gamepads for separate sale I'd like to see an upgraded gamepad with full HD screen and bigger battery.

Anyone having issues with club nintendo? Keeps saying invalid password even after I reset it and use the temporary one, wanna play pikmin

You know what would be great if Nintendo allowed you to transfer your purchased Virtual Console games Snes,Megadrive etc to your 3DS and vice versa like what Sony did with there PSX classics also would like them to re-release upscaled 1080p Gamecube games for download.

Star Fox! I remember countless hours playing Lylat Wars with a buddy and making to the end boss before his little brother yanked the cartridge out mid game!

Not sure how much longer i can wait for a Wii U.....
It's first party library is looking really good and heaps more announced at E3.
Hoping to get a premium console new for $350 but i suppose a price drop won't happen for awhile.
