That's one of the two Nintendos that i don't own yet, but i think i will buy first the gamecube (that's the other :P).
Nice that you got one, enjoy ;D

I never had a GameCube either. A friend of mine has GameCube, although he is a major SEGA fan, I played some games and I like Luigis Mansion, Star Wars Bounty Hunter and Tomb Raider Legend (but the last two are also PlayStation games.) I need to get a GameCube too :)
okay, here is a pic of the box:
I played Nintendo Land with my Wife. We laughed at the robot character Monita. I was impressed with the GamePad. The GamePad is a touch screen too. I like how tilting the GamePad acts as a viewer and how it is in sync with the tv screen. cool stuff.
I am happy to be up-to-date now. I will enjoy playing the Wii U.
I can't wait for the new games to come out. I want the DK game, SM 3D World, Luigi game and the Duck Tales remastered game.
I also bought a Wiimote, two Pro controllers and a headset.
e-brugal, I hope that you get the GameCube and the Wii U too ;D
please share pics and stories when you do get the systems.

I have not had a chance to play any games on my WiiU yet, but I've had a bit of fun in the Miis and Miivurse. I had a small internet connectivity problem I solved by moving the router.
I so far love the Wii U, I just with there were more games that utilized the gamepad.
Why did you not get the Zelda Bundle? Not a Zelda fan?
taigr81m:
Hello, Larry, I understand that the Zelda is a download only game. I hate that stuff. I want only physical copies of games. I think that downloads should be used for backup purposes. I have a 2TB and a 3TB external drive, so it's not about space to me.
I do not dislike Zelda. I am a fan of this genre but sometimes Zelda games have stupid parts to them and I am burned out with it. I tried Twighlight Princess and the graphics are awesome and the beginning of the game looks promising, then you get to the herding part. I never played beyond that part. I hate the herding concept. Earthworm Jim 3D made me hate the herding in video games. lol. I like exploration more than shooting and fighting. I will eventually get Zelda anyway because my Wife is a fan of Zelda. lol.
bottom line: download vs physical copy
I wanted something with my Wii U that has a box and a disc. Nintendo Land was only one available without travelling.
Speaking of GamePads
I'm trying to ask around to see if Donkey Kong Country Returns works on a Wii U.
I have not purchased a Nintendo system since N64 and I am growing frustrated about the controller aspect of the Wii systems. wtf? I understand that not all games are playable with the GamePad, yes? some may require a Wiimote or something called Nunchuck and Classic? I am confused. I wonder what Nintendo is thinking here.
My first thoughts about the GamePad - I thought that two players could play Madden footbal and not be able to see each others play menus. how cool. Then, I imagined all of the possibilities with other games. But apparently, noone else is daydreaming and many games are not even playable on this GamePad. very frustrating. I hope that this changes in the future. Game Developers need to be aware of Wii U gamers and start producing. XBox and Playstation are not the only systems in town. I want to use the GamePad with all of my games. Star Wars Bounty Hunter would be awesome with this pad, yes?

Thanks, i hope to get them soon.
I recently bought an Snes (page 2 of this thread)
