Lego City Undercover? Windwaker HD? Zombie U? Do you already own Pikmin 3 or NSMBWU?

And those 2D super mario game names have gotten pretty rediculous :/
Already have/had Lego city, zombie u, and mario. The sale will not include Windwaker HD as it comes out after the sale ends. I was not a fan of what I played of pikmin on the gamecube.

what didn't you like about it? There have been some changes (maybe improvements depending on who you ask I guess) since that installment.

Either way it is a solid title and if you really end up disliking it, it was free and would be easy to resell or trade it in.

There's really not much else to get then that is around $60 of value. I guess maybe Splinter Cell?

Maybe go with Monster Hunter? I know there are a few people here on the forums that LOVE the game and will probably play with you, making the experience all the better.

There are other choices too, if you haven't played Scribblenauts Unlimited, that was fun. If you have a hankering for a fighting game, Tekken on there is entertaining... they added a lot of features that are just for the WiiU like costumes, and crazy battle modes that use mario power ups.

Also if you have had mario, maybe grab Super Luigi U if you haven't already. HAving a boxed copy makes it all the better!

completely worth it. I finished the first dungeon and there is one thing that stands out as awesome... the camera.

I am having so much fun taking pictures and sending them via the tingle bottle. Also, using the gyroscope on the pad makes using the grappling hook a lot easier and feels more fluid.

I mean...could you ever hate a game that lets you do THIS!?

Is the camera unique to the WiiU version? I don't remember that in the original.

The camera was in the original. remember the island where you could submit your pictures of characters to get them made into figures with a bio?

They made changes in this version, allowing the pad to control the camera similar to ZombiU's scanner or how the Zelda mini-game in Nintendoland works. Also they allow you to take selfies like what I posted and you can control Link's emotions.
