No, I mean Wii U's thirty party (Not import ones from PS3 at all) is weak.

Yeah third party like Batman, COD and AC right? I already have most of those games on my PS3. Wii U's 1st party games are good enough for me. Can't wait for Super Mario 3D World!

No. As I said not port ones from PS3.. I rather to buy Wii U for first party, yes, but i rather 3rd party that made games for PS4 and xbox 1 for WIi U or a brand new games for Wii U. No 3rd party enough for Wii U will make me delay further not to buy Wii U.

Yes, I bought Wii U and arent happy with it so I returned it to the store for a full refund and wait a little longer. One more thing.. I hate Mii. Its ridiculous!

Oh. Sorry didn't quite understand you there. Well yeah Wii U's 3rd party is pretty weak (even including the ones on PS3), but the 1st party games are enough to keep me satisfied, with games like NSMBU (and the Luigi ver.) and Wind Waker HD, can't complain about that. I'm just still not interested in the PS4 and Xbox One, the next console I'm getting will probably a 3DS, which will make my 3rd, as I'm getting more interested in Gateway and looking to try it out. Of course I'll have to hunt for 4.5 or lower versions.

But, you know, opinions, to each his own. I don't see anything wrong with Miis. Seems similar to Xbox's avatars, no? I don't own one so I don't know.

That's cool. I dont liked the luigi ver. which is too short and almost the same as NSMBU but I like NSMBU the more. I am into zelda as well. Anyway, I dont like Miis.. its really ridiculous, yes. Really silly looking. I will get PS4 but not anytime soon since there are no games that interested me just yet. I am staying with PS3 and I just sent Wii U back to the store for a full refund until there are enough games for me to play then I will buy it.

Maybe you can try PAWN shop in your country for 4.5 or lower versions.

Pikmin 3 is amazing! That's the kind of title you want when you have a Wii U ... as you said, you can play ME3, AC3, all the Batman on your PS3, but games like Mario 3d world, Pikmin 3, Zelda Wind Waker, Wonderful 101 are amazing! I didn't dislike Zombie U .. I was expecting so many bad things because of the reviews and all the people complaining, but I think it's actually refreshing (I'm tired of the action RE). THE main reason why I bought a Wii U is for X (Monolith Soft) If you are into JRPGs, it will make you forget what Final Fantasy is :D 2014 will be an amazing year for core gamers that has a Wii U!

Gambia, The
the machine is dead dont bother....

are you referring to the WiiU ?
hmm strange, mine seems to be in use every day... you can play WiiU, Wii, (to some extent) GC games on it, also there are quite alot emulators for vWii (NES/Famicom, SNES/Super Famicom, GB, GBA and more), it's usable as home theatre entertainment system (PLEX) and you can still browse the web at the same time... hell, I can even take the gamepad with me and keep reading/browsing/watching whatever I do, while I cook in the kitchen or go to the toilet
hmm, dunno about other people, but my WiiU certainly is not dead, it may someday die on old age, cuz it's working its ass off couple hours a day =)

Hey guys! My Wii U finally came through DHL today! Finally, after days of refreshing the tracking page every few mins.

It took a while to update and download the WW game, about 5-6 hours I think.. But it was all worth it! Really loving WW so far! Its like the first time ever I oggled over the graphics of a Nintendo game! Gonna continue playing some more on the gamepad while watching WWE on the TV :P

See ya guys! Thanks for the suggestions and recommendations! Definitely worth all the troubles I went through to import this one!

P.S.
the machine is dead dont bother....

I don't think thats gonna happen to mine anytime soon ;)

Looking to buy the Wind Waker HD edition. Currently thinking of buying it from superufo.com because its the cheapest so far. Around USD390 including shipping. Local stores here sell the normal deluxe edition for about USD 500+. Should I just go with it? I ordered a Vita MMC from there once and it arrived just fine. Any other cheap/reliable sites you guys recommend that ships to Brunei (South East Asia, near Malaysia).
Buy a Wii U...and have everyone you know buy one;-)

If you have a friend in the US, eBay is doing deals almost weekly with Wii U console bundles at $250.

Even if shipping is $50, that would still save you $100 over what you are going to pay.

I already bought it.. Besides, I don't have a friend in the US, and I'm not in good terms with eBay as they suddenly suspended my account without a clear reason (I only bought stuff there and got only positive feedbacks, always paid on time and such, didn't break any rules). On a side note, I also found a cheap one on a Canadian site but sadly they don't ship to Brunei.

Pikmin. Easily. It looks simple but I sincerely doubt that you could get those kinds of textures on a PS3/360 without sacrificing something in return. And the fact that game runs at 1080p 60fps is nothing short of astounding.

Also, 360 also had a long time before the "cutting edge graphic game" came out, more than a year.

Isn't it always gameplay over graphics? I only have Wind Waker HD and in my opinion the graphics are very good. I think its just because most Nintendo games have those different cartoony art styles like Super Mario 3D World and WWHD, and not those realistic looking games like Last of Us.

But I remember ALL of my friends bashing me when I first bought my Aqua Blue 3DS at launch, with them saying how the graphics look like shit and how the Vita is much much much much superior than the 3DS. Lol yeah right, I don't see the Vita prospering much in terms of games now. Apart from the 2 good launch titles, Uncharted and Gravity Rush, and a few others such as Killzone and Soul Sacrifice to mention a few, the others are just "ports" from the PS3, like Project Diva F, MK and Injustice. Well they're not really ports but you know what I mean. I think even the sales chart between the two will prove that it is gameplay over graphics. Buuuttt, thats just my opinion.
