So I've been playing mine since I got it on Saturday. I got both Nintendo Land and NSMB U, but I've only played Nintendo Land so far - and I'm loving it. Unlike Wii Sports which I never really played much, I'm loving this mini game collection and I like how most of them have more depth to them than you would expect. Currently trying to get a star on all 12 games -I have 5 so far, for beating (in order obtained) Takamaru's Ninja Castle, Balloon Fight Breeze, Pikmin Adventure, Donkey Kong's Crash Course and Octopus Dance.

Played through Pikmin with my girlfriend and her sister. I only have one Motion Plus though, so I need to try and get hold of another so we can play the Zelda and Metroid games together too.

I'll have to add all you guys soon too.

Only two games I have atm are TTT 2 and Nano Assault Neo.. Figure TTT2 would keep me the busiest and I was always curious to buying a game on multiple consoles to compare the two.. I like it on Wii U, but there are no player lobbies or world arena in comparison to the XBox 360 and PS3 versions.. Graphics seem identical though... Plan on getting Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper..

I tried it in a store but unfortunately they only had the Super Mario demo on. Kind of underwhelmed. The controller feels a bit too much like a toy instead of a high tech piece of hardware, and the software was really not the best to show off its potential. I am still craving one, but I will probably wait 2-3 years to see if it gets any support from 3rd parties.

If not I'll buy one at the end of its lifecycle for nintendo games. Gamecube business as usual I guess :(

Ha neat.

At first I was wondering what kind of trickery he was going to use but as the video loaded I had a feeling it was a connection from the TV Tuner.

Until Christmas time, highly unlikely. And even then I wouldn't count on it.

Nintendo Network is down for maintenance today and tomorrow. Shouldn't effect anything except eShop access for 3DS/WiiU, Pokemon Black and White, and Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper.

It also mentioned that it would disrupt the Wii and DS shops too.
