I will get to it this summer!), but I recently returned to Hyrule Warriors after playing about halfway through the game. Everything recently clicked, and I'm enjoying it immensely! The fan service in this game is really excellent.

I like the game... but recently I just have not been able to make myself continue clearing the adventure maps due to the repetitiveness.

I love my Wii U. I never even bought an Xbox 360 or PS3. Some day... Then their successors. I agree that every game mentioned in this thread is awesome, but I don't really play any games too much anymore, it seems. I use the gamepad all the time, just to play Youtube videos on my TV, and browse the internet. I don't know what it is, I just don't enjoy playing games much anymore. I'd rather watch movies, TV or just browse online. Back in the NES and SNES days, you couldn't get me to stop playing. The last game I played all the way through was on NES. Nowadays, I just play for like 5 minutes and get bored. But the Wii U is still the best current system to me.

I keep on ALMOST buying a Wii U, mainly because I'm a sucker for complete series. I can't have a complete Pikmin/Donkey Kong/Mario/Zelda series without a Wii U.

The Wii U feels like an also-ran, even though it's still out and new games are still being made for it. That's probably a side effect of pretty much everyone in my circle of friends having gone exclusively PlayStation. It may also be because the relative lack of third-party support makes it seem like no one is making anything for the Wii U other than Nintendo. It might even be a subconscious result of their low sales numbers - after all, who wants to buy into a failure?

Ah well, I'm sure there will be some kind of sale this holiday season, and I will probably get one then - I need the series' to be complete! 8)

The lack of third party doesn't bother me really. It's the Nintendo games that make a difference. The sheer number of shitty titles that flooded the wii library due to third party support made it a minefield when trying to find any hidden gems.

The Wii 3rd party situation was the worst. It reminds me a lot of the budget bins you'd see for the PS1/2 back in the day. Games that no one seemed to buy, that were getting made by the hundreds.
