jerseystyle Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 SO excited- picked it up in Canada and just got it hoked up this morning in my apartment in Cairo. Thus far have played a bit of Mario 3d World, and it is amazing. Also, Zelda WW looks fantastic in HD. I also bought AC 4, Lego Undercover, and Pikmen 3 but have not played those yet. Any games I should watch out for? I have already picked up where I left off with Fishing Resort on the Wii, so life is good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+atari2600land Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 New Super Mario Bros. U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xg4bx Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 I'd say that you bought easily the best games currently out for it. There's a new Donkey Kong Country in February and Smash Bros/Mario Kart later in the year which are looking pretty top notch. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Ghost Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 Agreed with posts above. Also, I've spent a lot of time playing Rayman: Legends with my girls as well and have had a blast with it. We played through Rayman: Origins last year on Xbox 360, so this was an easy choice for us. I will say that if you're going to play it primarily solo, one of the other versions (Xbox 360 or PS3 I believe are the other choices) may be the better option, as the Wii U version forces you to play as character Murphy sometimes, which may not be everyone's thing.

Austin Posted January 6, 2014 Share Posted January 6, 2014 If you like fast-paced racing, Need for Speed Most Wanted U is nice. Seems that nobody bought it so it is a budget title already, only costs us about $20 over here in the 'States. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mckafka99 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Rayman Legends is a lot of fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tep392 Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 I just bought my daughter a Wii U for christmas. Excluding a DS, it's my first NEW console since getting my 2600 back in the early 80's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Algus Posted January 7, 2014 Share Posted January 7, 2014 Congrats. It is a great system that I really hope pulls in more developers and really gets a chance to shine, though I'll be fine with just Nintendo's regular entries as well.

DaytonaUSA Posted January 10, 2014 Share Posted January 10, 2014 I'd say you got the best that's out there atm, other than New Super Mario Bros U (though don't expect anything groundbreaking with that title). I wouldn't go for NFS, personally. The lack of anti-aliasing makes anything in the background look like it's built of freakin' legos. Seriously. There's other issues with it too, but that's the one that bugs me the most. Honestly, DK, MK, and SSB are your best bets for this year so far at least. I know you want to get tons of games for your new system (I know the feeling), but honestly at this point, there's not much more to recommend that's really worth your time. Well, that is if you have a 360 or PS3 already. If not, there are many third party games at your disposal that are a bit gimped. If anyone recommends Wonderful 101, I'd consider trying the demo or giving it a rent before purchase. It's kinda polarizing. Some love it, some hate it. Not many in-between.

NE146 Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Wow, I forgot that even existed. I'll have to pick up and give it a try. If you like racing I'd suggest Sonic All Star Racing Transformed. Yeah it's not an exclusive, but it's way better than the original Sonic all stars racing, and if you're a Sega fan of any sort, there's lots of cool homages. One of the the best games for the Wii U before WW/Mario 3D came out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) Can you get the Outrun Bay track on the Wii U version? With it being exclusive to the limited edition, I wonder if I'm too late to get it for a fair price on any platform. Was it just a voucher code? Can it be purchased for those with the regular edition? Edited January 11, 2014 by Atariboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 There was a limited edition of All-Stars Racing Transformed? Huh. I didn't know that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Looks liked it was tagged as "Bonus Edition". It's my understanding that these are the copies that had the Outrun 2 inspired Outrun Bay bonus track present. No clue if it's on disc, an unlock code, or a download voucher. Also don't know if you could just buy this add-on although a quick visit to something like the Xbox Live marketplace would answer that quickly.

Austin Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 Huh.. I thought the "bonus" edition was the only edition on the Wii U? Maybe I'm wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atariboy Posted January 11, 2014 Share Posted January 11, 2014 (edited) You very well might be correct. I was only paying half attention to this when it released so there easily might not be a normal edition of the title. Pre-release though, Outrun Bay was portrayed as a sort of preorder bonus that wouldn't be included with later copies of the game when Sumo Digital discussed it. So I just assumed at this point that there would be a normal edition available without the extra. For those of you that own this on the Wii U, did you have to input a code to access Outrun Bay? Seemed to be an unlock code over on the 360/PS3 to serve as an incentive to purchasing it new but looks like it's available by default on the Wii U.
