Id say the The future looks pretty bleak once you get past Bayonetta and Mario Kart.

when its at the magic ?100 mark i can see a lot picking it up and appreciating its charms maybe then they can do a 3ds style turnaround on it.

Well yeah, I 'only' own eight games myself with Luigi and Wind Waker (so-so about that one as it's my least favourite Zelda) on my radar, so "a dozen" may have been a tad exageratived.

[Golgo]

But to be fair to you, dataDave, the Wonderful 101 must count for more than one?

[danstan21]

Those Mario Kart 8 screens look amazing. Might have to make that a release day purchase.

Will it ever hit that mark though? don't know what it costs to make etc buy guess it's around that?

[speedlolita]

They should sell one without the gamepad.

I'm sort of planning to offload my machine when I'm done with Bayonetta 2.

Watched all the footage today.

Got really excited. So excited. That I cancelled my Watch_Dogs pre-order as I don't think much else will get a look in once this arrives.

I saw a second hand 8gb model in cash converters the other day for ?129.99. Looked in good nick too

Done my bit and bought Metroid Fusion and Advance Wars, really was worth the wait as the emulation is superb, I was worried about the brightness as the screens that nintendo released looked dull and washed out but it's not a problem at all, the games look glorious on the wii u pad and although it might not be a popular opinion I'm actually glad nintendo decided to release GBA games on wii u instead of the 3DS.

[shaffy_oppa]

I noticed game website has the basic at ?99.99 but unfortunately out of stock.

My niece just suddenly asked to play mario and so I'm on the hunt for a basic seeing as it's her bday today. ?189 for a pre-owned basic at Game seems a bit ridiculous and I don't think ?200 plus on a Premium seem like a good idea either... she'll probably play it like once a month... she's only 4 :/

[Guts]

Just get her a Wii. There's more Mario for it too. Problem solved!

[shaffy_oppa]

She has a Wii... but she says "it's fuzzy"... lol

[Guts]

Bwahahah! Talk about HD era kids! Of course it's always been the same really, kids want the new, (seemingly) better stuff just as much as the adults if not more so.

[shaffy_oppa]

Haha shes not too bad... She's got no real clue about gaming, she probably doesn't know what she has is a Wii let alone a Wii U (like most people ). My nieces play Dance Central here on PS4 and Xbox and mentioned that at their place it didn't look as good.

I think she mentioned Mario because she'd been watching the cartoons on netflix.
