off topic but crazy to see a 12 year old user. I've been lurking these forums since 2009ish... which seems a lot, but 12 years wow

I got a launch day Wii U. I think I'm buying another one because it's always being used by other family members and I never get to play it, I'm a waiting to see if there's going to be a Mario Kart bundle.


Games I got.
-Nintendo Land
-New Super Mario Bros U
-New Super Luigi U
-Assassin's Creed 3
-Wii Party U
-COD Black Ops 2
-COD Ghosts
-and some VC games from the eShop

Just make sure never to pay more then needed for your games.
Most of my games cost around 20 € incl first party games.
games like batman, assasins creed & mass effect I got for as low as 13 €
Be smart and buy online.

As for the Wiiu bundles :

Buy a white Wii and a good cheap USB stick for you saves and updates.
the bundles games go online NEW for about 5€ ( nintyland and SMBU ) MHtriU goes for about 30€ ( got mine for 25€ )
For third party games wait a year and get them from the budget shelfes ( Ubisoft and EA games )
I've got myself a White Wiiu and a 5€ 8GB sandisk cruzer and have not needed more save space yet. saved me 120€. ( canceled my 2 Black Wiiu preorders for this, + I got the consoles the next day, lol. Otherwise I had to wait +4 weeks for the black ones )

As of now the Wiiu is the cheapest console I have ever owned. ( reuse of wiimotes and classic controllers etc, cheap games )
Best of all, it's A HELL OF FUN!
Just face it: What's available is mostly top notch.

Next games on my list are : Deus Ex ( €18 now ) , and LEGO Marvel Super Heroes ( wait for bargain ).

How are the CoD games on the Wii U? I own every CoD on Xbox 360 and Ghosts was horrible frame rate and graphics on the 360 and I was thinking of swapping it out.

I haven't played ghosts on anything except for the Wii U, the Wii U version probably isn't any different than the other versions, except the online community is very small, I've seen anywhere from 800 to 2500 online at any given time, most of the players are in the USA so that works in your favor most of the time. You can imagine the kind of match making that goes on with a small community like this, it's a lag fest. I bought ghosts on release day and my first impression of the game was, get ready for this, Goldeneye for the Wii. I think that BO2 is a way better game. Don't let me stop you from buying it though, the Wii U community can use all the help it can get. I started playing cod games when mw3 was released, and I've only played cod games with a wii remote, I wont do it any other way. There's no cod dlc for the Nintendo consoles, and patches are few. I heard that the Wii U version was better than the PS360 versions, but cannot say from experience.

The DLC sucks anyways, thats one thing that doesn't effect my decisions with the Wii U. I seen Assassins creed 4 on the 360 before I bought it for my Wii U and on Wii U it looked much better especially water effects, waves, etc.
