-NSMBWU/LU is not a good set of pack in games. Feeling pretty bleh about the game so far after a half dozen levels or so. I'm debating selling the physical dual pack and just using my free download code to grab it with MK8 instead. Anyone interested?
I'd kind of agree, though more in the sense that the game is terrible at demonstrating the system. It's a solid 2D Mario game though, and I don't think the download includes Luigi U.
Gamestop sells that disc used for $69.99 for whatever reason, so if nothing else their trade-in might be decent. Or it could be a foreshadowing of the definitive/collectible version of the game down the line (if you care).
-Also, I can't use my Wii Classic Controller Pro in NSMBWU as far as I can tell (and I have tried). I don't like playing with the giant gamepad, especially since it just reproduces what is on the screen (needlessly at that). I don't like playing with the Wiimote since I need to use more than 2 buttons and a D-pad. Guess I need the Wii U Pro controller.
For whatever reason I thought they patched that in. Turns out, it was the Pro Controller support they added.
There is an extended battery for the Gamepad you can get too, as an option.
-At least in my house, remote play with Vita works better (and further) than remote play with Wii U, whose range is very limited. The PS4 and Wii U are next to one another and on the same network, but the Vita trumps easily.
I've only tried PS3/PSP remote play, but yeah, same kind of thing for me. The Wii U can't quite reach far enough for the feature to be useful in my house.
-MK8 and Super Mario 3D better be fucking awesome, or I am gonna have buyer's remorse really, really quick

If nothing else, 3D World feels like it's mildly taxing the system, and has a bit more variety to it

Though, it will force you to swap back to the Gamepad for Captain Toad levels.
