Pikmin 3 is a wonderful game full of digital fruit that made me hungry to look at, though I preferred the GamePad controls by far, wasn't keen on the Wiimote in Pikmin 2 or 3 at all.

Ive never had an issue with VC prices, set against the cost and hassle of finding a decent working original console and cart, its generally cheaper and easier to go VC. Thin they should be cross buy though.

Ive had probably 5/6 VC games through the program as I cashed most of my stars in for wii points, I also grabbed a multicart 3DS case. Was a bit annoying filling the surveys out but I didnt mind, it was free stuff at the end of the day. I imagine the new system will be similar to the Deluxe Wii U Pr...

Saw there wasn't a topic for Amiibo, thought i'd start a thread. So has anybody been collecting them? And what are your thoughts on implementation? I bought Captain Falcon, figure is really nice and the levelling stuff in Smash Bros is fun. Tried to pre-order Lucina from Shopto and didnt in the end ...

Any games you recommend? I'm looking at monster hunter as I have never really played one but the few hours I have played of it, it seems like a game I would love. Anyone have the NES remix game? I have seen it on then 3ds but only on YouTube for the wiiu, is it as good as it looks? NES Remix is gre...

Ive seen a few deals about for the 8GB white console + a game for round the £170 mark

Bought Weapon Shop de Omasse on the 3DS eShop sales. Quirky idea, gets a little old after an hour or so but its interesting and undemanding, can see myself dipping in and out of it.

Got Smash Bros U for xmas, goes nicely with the Capt Falcon amiibo figure I picked up a few weeks back. Really enjoyed the amiibo levelling stuff, def gonna get a couple more of those. Online is pretty solid too, none of the slowdown I had on the 3DS version. That said, I'm finding it really difficu...

Would love a code if you got one spare please Morkin

By the way, for those that bought the Wii-Us bundled with a game (ie in the box, not a store bundle). Is the game a download or do you get a disc? I'd assume you don't get a disk case, but then again I'd assume it's a download anyway. Cheers. Depends on the bundle. Wind Waker HD bundle is a downloa...

Toxie and Roo, see you both got Tekken TT2 - would you recommend it? I'm not huge on fightérs outside Marvel vs Capcom and Smash Bros, but its on offer on the eshop.

Well now we're talking about Blue Shells. Trailing an item behind you never stopped these (unless it does in MK7 which I haven't played much of). I think just because you're in the lead at any given moment doesn't necessarily mean you're the best pure player and deserve to win. Anybody has the righ...

Just in case anyone was thinking about grabbing another copy of Mario Kart 8, trading it, and keeping the Club Nintendo code for a free game - it works, I did it yesterday. Bought for £39 of amazon, traded for £32 credit at CEX (which nabbed me Tropical Freeze) and registered the CN code on a new ac...

I personally wasn't thrilled with what was shown during Nintendo's E3 Digital Event. In my opinion, the Wii U needs a fresh injection of new games yesterday - as an owner it largely feels like time has stood still. All that was featured will likely wind up in my collection, but for the immediate fu...

Anyone with a 32GB Wii U and got their free game with Mario Kart 8 might want to check their Nintendo Network Premium account thingy (You know, what gives you points for when you buy stuff on the eShop). I checked mine and it seems I got points for my free Game&Wario download! A whole near 300 poin...
