Here's the game-

I never play online so I'll glady save the extra $10.

Hell I'd just go pick up the figures for a buck a pop, it's not like Target takes down your information or anything.

I've been seeing posts on various sites that this bundle is already out in the wild at places like Walmart and Best Buy.

I've only played it for a bit so far but the game is surprisingly challenging. My only real complaint so far is that the camera zooms out a bit too far sometimes which makes it difficult to avoid attacks. Other than that it looks great, runs great, and plays like a far more hectic Pikmin.

Very cool article. As trite as it may be to say, Nintendo games just seem to have that little extra spark that no other developer has ever been able to match imo.

Well a price drop and finally releasing some games helps lol. I think the multitude of exclusives this fall, as well as a lower price is certainly going shift some units. Yes other new consoles are coming out but not only will they be relatively scarce through the holiday season, the barebones consoles start at $100+ more than the U.

If I had a kid a $300 Wii U, which comes with a game, and 2 extra games for the price of a PS4 alone would be a deal that's pretty hard to pass up.

Unfortunately there hasn't been any more news about it released as far as I know.

It's not Pac Man VS but maybe this would be of interest-

''Pac Man Museum: The final title is Pac-Man Battle Royale, something that is much more noteworthy since it has never been available to the public outside of the arcades, despite being a much more recent title. At first glance, the game is nothing more than a multiplayer version of Pac-Man Championship Edition DX, as it only puts up a string of dots at a time and puts up another string when either the current one gets finished or when fruit gets eaten. Eating a power pellet changes things, however, as you not only get to eat ghosts but also become a much larger version of yourself that eat the other players as well. The game only ends when all but one of the Pac-Men is eaten or defeated by ghosts, making the whole affair more competitive than before. It is a brilliant take on the formula and can easily become a local multiplayer favorite in the same vein as classics like Bomberman and Worms.''

I will be buying the Zelda HD remake for sure which could be my third game for the Wii U. I'm highly looking forward to an RPG on the Wii U and how the tablet can be featured.

Unfortunately it's in Japanese but this video shows off some of the gamepad usage-

Skarrj, on 03 Sept 2013 - 11:28 AM, said:Aside from the time I played xenoblade, the comparison of the wii to excersize equipment is pretty accurate. Comparing the wii u is not though. All my other consoles have taken a backseat to the wii U. I love this system as much as I loved the dreamcast when it was released. Monster hunter is getting the most playtime, but the new splinter cell is closing in. Ive seen alot of talk about nintendo land. I think as a multiplayer game it can be fun, but by yourself it has only a few standout games. The donkey kong level is pretty unique and I do play that one alot, but the Pikmin mini game could almost be a stand alone title. That is probably the best game on the disk.

I've gotta say that I love this console as well and I haven't found consoles to be anything more than a means to an end since maybe the SNES or N64. There's just a charm to it that I can't put my finger on that makes it incredibly appealing.

The more I see this the more I want one even though I have zero need for it.

Granted, Nintendo does skew more to the family friendly but to say that video games are "mostly for kids" is just plain wrong.

These days it seems like those are the games that most of the kiddies want to play whereas aging farts like myself are craving Mario, Luigi, and Donkey Kong lol. I'd dare say that I think Nintendo's Gen X consumer base is just as large as its younger consumer base.

Not sure if a price drop will help at all. It needs games....
On the other hand I'm kind of liking the slow pace of games (even though it hurts the system). It gives me time to enjoy the few I got on the Wii U and keep up with other stuff.

I just bought Luigi and Pikmin, I ordered Splinter Cell, and I've got 6 games preordered.....and there's still more coming that I want. It has gone from 0-60 almost too quickly.

I honestly really like the look of this. As much as I like the 3D on the 3DS it's just too damn cramped for my ham hands.

August 28, 2013

Not only has the MSRP dropped to $50, but there will be a limited edition with a Ganon figure available-

I preordered it. I had been keeping an eye on this since it was announced but the demo cemented it as a must buy.

August 25, 2013

Bought this today when I picked up Luigi U. I had never played a Pikmin game before but holy crap is this fun. I had to force myself to stop playing.

July 31, 2013

I'd be interested to know if they still carry the Vita in their stores.

July 20, 2013

Cool idea for a video. The only ''plug n play'' I've ever owned was one that I bought at KB years ago for like $2. It contained Commodore 64 games.

Modern games kill classic gaming skills. I've learned this first hand when it took me a dozen tries to get past the first red gargoyle in Ghosts n Goblins.

...and I can't say that I disagree-

I have a backlog of 360 titles to play as it is and I don't see running out to buy a next gen console that has a limited number of games and unproven reliability.

The last part alone is reason enough for me to wait and see. The image quality of the next gen consoles is appealing but not so much I'm going to risk that much money.

If I run out of 360 games I can always dig out some PS2 games I never finished.

I'm behind on games as it is, I just finally started playing Skyrim and that came out a year and a half ago. There's plenty left for me to play.

It's a hard thing to put into words but I'm finally satisfied with where I am in the hobby, I don't crave or want anything more.
