That's what I did. Luigi game is harder than Mario by the way.

My stepdaughter's eyes lit up. Totally worth the money already.

Thanks, bro. It's doing an update right now. I guess after that I will download the Zelda game. I'm not sure how to do that, though.

Redeem the code in the box in the Nintendo store. Plug in the game pad now and reduce the brightness to save yourself some battery life. I'm not impressed with the battery

Yep! There aren't any features behind a paywall too. While there isn't a bunch of the store, you'll find some older Nintendo games on there to play as well.

Any trick you can do that will increase battery life. Do it. It does not last very long.

Cool.

Well, I tried downloading Zelda, but it hasn't downloaded. What's the deal?

hit the home button and a button to the right should say current downloads or something. also check to see if you have a new icon on your home screen

HD.

Wii U plays Wii games. Wii U has the new Nintendo eShop which is much better than the old VC (except for the fact that they re basically rereleasing everything on a slow schedule, kind of mad at that one). The gamepad is unique and allows for a lot of cool connections and ways to play.

HD Wind Waker is awesome + All the new stuff coming out, new 3D Mario, DK, Kart, SSB, etc. Other than sports games (and NBA 2k13 is actually solid, sadly) it has a decent selection that will hopefully grow once the console sells a bit more.

It's a Nintendo console through and through, if you like Nintendo, it's worth it.
