Re: The Wii U: From "cool" Sony to evil Nintendo

This game...



...is the bee's tits.

From the very beginning, it's a brilliant and hilarious parody of Grand Theft Auto and countless cliched action movies and TV shows. (I'll never be able to take Grand Theft Auto IV's opening cinematic seriously again after watching this game's version of it.) The level of ingenuity and inventiveness in the missions rivals Super Mario 3D World. The use of the Wii U gamepad in particular is genius. It takes a damn good game to pull me away from 3D World, but Lego City has done it.

If anyone's still on the fence about it, check out this GameTrailers review on YouTube.

I almost pulled the trigger on the new Wii U Deluxe system and Super Mario World 3D, but just couldn't due it with just getting the 2 next-gen systems and a bunch of games I still need to go through.

Snagged the Wii U Deluxe Wind Waker HD console setup and Super Mario 3D World over Black Friday. Looking forward to playing those two games for sure.

People are having trouble finding the Zelda bundle now and it looks like stores are selling out of the Mario bundle. If you're on the fence about the Zelda bundle, now is the time.

I did the same and they just delayed my shipping, lol. It's estimated to be delivered on Dec. 9th now, instead of this week.

I actually sold my old WiiU to a friend for what I paid. Got a Zelda bundle. The Nintendo rep I talked to said I couldn't move my account, so I created a new one. But, I just tried again and a new rep said I could in 48 hours, so we will see. I'd like to be able to use the old one.

Let us know if you're able to transfer your old account. Did you have any eshop purchases? I want to switch to the Zelda bundle, but losing all my old purchases keeps me from doing so.

Will do. Fortunately DuckTales was my only new purchase. I should know if I can get it back in a day or two.

Gamestop still has several thousand copies of the Zelda bundle online. Still got a while to procrastinate.

If that character is available at the very start of the game, I'll never start with anyone else.
