So I picked up a WiiU this weekend, the mario & luigi bundle (mario U and Luigi U packed in) as well as ZombiiU all for under $300.
I'm pretty impressed actually, and I know this will be a first party only type machine but there are some good games.
Mario and Luigi U - These are obviously as solid of a platformer you can find, the only downside to the game is the music, but it's very very good, fun to play.
Zombii U - Gritty and dark, the game is punishing if you try and play like stallone and take on everything. It's unique in that once you die, your character dies, and the next player you control has to recover the items the previous character had on them. Of course they have turned and you will have to kill them. Full of gore and violence, but upgrades for weapons, hammers for barring up doors, and great use of the wiiu controller, this game was a steal for $15
Demos/Wonderful 101 - I just got finished playing the demo for 101 and I will be buying this for sure. If you havent checked this out, make sure you do. I cant' remember the last time I had so much fun on a console, it's addicting.
Future purchases/ Mario 3D world - This is a no brainer, I've played the 3DS iteration and it was one of the best mario games I've ever played, will def be picking this up along with Wonderful 101
So yeah, I know there will be some time before another zelda or metroid drop on here, but it really does have some good stuff right now, and the price was right. If you're on the fence about the system, it really is a nice piece of kit and I'm glad to finally have it.
