Wii-U thoughts so far

[BoneSnapDeez]

Is there even a Wii U Metroid game in development? Would love to see one released in 2015, but that seems too soon.

Another Paper Mario would be great too.

So Darksiders 2 is now on sale for $10 in the eShop. Despite being strongly pro-physical personally and not liking Nintendo's policies around digital accounts, that's a really good price for the game if you haven't played it elsewhere.

I agree. While I liked the first game more, Darksiders II was a lot of fun. It's kind of God of War meets Prince of Persia meets Diablo, with a smattering of Zelda, although significantly less than the first game.

I just picked up Darksiders 2 from Amazon for $21 a week ago. I wish I knew of the sale I gotta save where I can. But my memory would have gotten destroyed!

Short story, got a great deal on a Wii-U and Smash Brothers. $300 with a $25 Target Gift Card.

Long story:

Target has the Black Friday promotion going on right now, where if you buy the Super Mario 3D Land Bundle, you get a $25 gift card. I thought that was a good deal, but my wife also pointed out that we had a coupon for 15% off anything on our registry that wasn't purchased after our wedding. Sub-spoiler, there wasn't a Wii-U and Smash Brothers on our registry. So she said, well let's try to add them and if it works, it works. If not, still get it.

Went to the store with the printout of the registry and the coupon. Cashier rang everything up, gave me the $25 gift card, and then scanned the coupon. $56 off. Left with a Wii-U and Smash Brothers for $300. My wife is brilliant! I'm not sure why Target lets people add things to their registry after the wedding is over, but I won't complain either.

The current and upcoming first-party Nintendo games for the Wii U are off the chain. Captain Toad drops in a few weeks, apparently with a $40 MSRP.

I noticed that the MSRP on this game seemed low. I wonder why that is? Maybe it's going to be short on content? I'm really looking forward to it in any case. The Toad levels were some of my favourite in the 3D World game.

Because no one is gonna buy it even at $39.99.

Of course, I don't care about that. I will be picking it up on day one with my GCU for a cool $34. The masses can have their Call of Duty, I've been looking forward to this game since it was announced at E3.

On the bright side, Darksiders 2, like Need for Speed Most Wanted U, got incredibly small production numbers and so at some point it might go on a rare list. Don't know that it'll be worth anything.

I almost want to buy Watch_Dogs WiiU simply because it's probably going to be extremely hard to find in the future. In the UK charts it was behind FIFA 13 for Wii U which has been out since launch...
