on a related note, any exclusive eshop games i need?
Honestly, right now? NES Remix 1 & 2 are pretty fun in my opinion, but they seem very hit or miss amongst people.

Other than that, I'd say no.
That's a shame. You'd think that with a year and a half on the market, there'd be more there...

I've heard decent stuff about Chasing Aurora, but it seems to be made for multiplayer only really.

There's also some good stuff in general - Trine 2, Toki Tori 2, Bit.Trip Runner 2, Little Inferno, Dungeons & Dragons: Chronicles of Mystara, DuckTales Remastered, Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams etc. It's just they aren't exclusives.

Nano Assault Neo
Toki Tori 2
Mighty Switch Force
and the NES Remix games are all pretty good.

Mutant Mudds Deluxe is decent.

Also have Runner2 but it's multiplatform.

Pushmo World comes out on June 19. I loved the 3DS game so I'll be grabbing that for sure.

So the only two games I have to choose from the Mario Kart 8 'free download' deal, are Game & Wario and Wii U Party. I asked before, but which of those two do you think is the better game? Both, I gather, are relatively similar and both are reasonably average.

Attention those who have received Mario Kart 8 early, don't register your copy yet, otherwise you won't get your free game!

So apparently Nintendo is releasing a 4 Gamecube to 2 USB port device this winter. Looks like I need to go find four wavebirds.

Yeah, sev just posted it a few posts up - looks attractive. Typically I don't like a lot of clutter, but with the wii u being small, the adapter being small (can rest on top, i'm sure) and wavebirds being wireless, it won't be a hot mess.

Hopefully price point is in the $30 range and i'm a day 1 buyer. It'll probably be $70 though, in which case i'll wait and get 2nd hand or after the price drop.

Why on earth would it be $70? :shock:
