Just buy one, otherwise you will stress about it for weeks and then buy it anyway...

I'll wait until Dragon Quest X gets released over here. Other than Mario U I think the software line up looks pretty naff.

Really liking the Wii U so far. In addition to NSMB, I quite like Nintendo Land and Nano Assault Neo as well.

Mario U is rather :awe:
Zombie U - Not so much. Looking at the gamepad is quite distracting, but I haven't given it much of a chance due to the Mario love.

I'm tempted to get Nintendo Land. Hoping it will drop in price a little next year, so I can pick it up.

So you went for the cheapy model? I'm not buying, but thought the premium bundle is worth the £50 extra for the pro controller, charger & nintendo land. The extra 16GB is nuffink, but still.

I got the Premium Zombie Wii U pack that has the pro controller, sensor, charger etc. It is well worth the extra dollar imo.
I was told Nintendo Land was a little meh so opted for this one instead.

Ah, makes sense. I'm sure it will be getting sold for £10-20 in January. I thought both the premium packs came with Nintendo land and zombie pack was more. My bad.

Resisted 1 whole week before i gave in and purchased :palm: ,
so far loving it, controller is very comfy to hold, not to heavy either, Nintendo Land is nice, good fun with the daughter.
Zombi land is poor for visuals, cant help but think its just a Tech Demo, rushed out as a launch title.
Still it makes the 360, and PS3 look very dated, i like the Sci Fi look, and give them 10/10 for being bold once more.
I said to myself after the Vita Turd that i would not buy another new machine, but for a tired and jaded of games chap, this is just the ticket to re-ignite my passion for games.

I still don't get the Wii U. The one selling point about the Wii was it was cheap, £350 for the HD version seems over priced to me.

basically you are paying for the HD version of the Wii with probably the best idea for a controller since the N64 one came out - it really makes a huge difference to the way you play games, particularly multi-player. I cant get the kids off Mario at all - they have everything - 3DS, iPads, iphones and 360 but dont touch them since we got the Wii U (they never touched the PS3 anyway befor we got it :lol: )

Best console and games around - much better than playing the latest generic 3-d shooter on the 360...

So take the new controller away as sitting at home with handhelds is not my thing & does that make the Wii U pointless ?
