I have a giftcard to BestBuy and looking to pick up a new title. So far I've got-

Mariokart 8
New Super Mario Bros U
Super Mario 3D World
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
NES Remix 1&2

I have enjoyed the hell out of the system so far and enjoy all genres. I haven't played Zelda WW or Assassin's Creed 3 or 4 yet. Is there a game I should play before picking up either of these titles? TIA

If you like Zelda games then get wind waker

If you like assassins creed get wind waker


Seriously though, don't bother with AC3. I liked AC4. You cant go wrong with ac4 or WW, just comes down to preference.

Played the first AC and thought it was meh. That's why I haven't picked up either 3 or 4.

Never played the first one. I have only played 2 and 4 but enjoyed them both. WW is my favorite Zelda though. If you like Zelda games at all, get it

I think Rayman Legends is the best 3rd party game on the system. If you like platformers, it's gold.

Wonderful 101 is the most unique Wii U game.

Nintendoland is worth it both for the game and the controller.

DKTF is supposed to be awesome, and that's probably my next pick up. Again, platformers.

If you're ok playing an HD update, WW is the most underrated Zelda game.

Monster hunter 3 is supposed to be really good, as is Pikman 3.

Would definitely get those two at some point, but would get windwaker first.

Do NOT get Wind Waker. That game fricking sucks. It's monotonous and the story is terrible. If you are going to play a Zelda title that's recent, get an original Wii control and play Skyward Sword. At least in Skyward Sword you can laugh at how much Ghirahim resembles Michael Sam. Only problem is Fi can get REAL annoying REAL quick.

I think I just threw up a little reading this, you're entitled to an opinion but I severely disagree. Plus the fast sail in the Wii U version cuts down the travel time.

Also I second whoever said Rayman Legends, it's a great game.

also, before you go to Best Buy make sure you check out prices on Amazon so you can price match whatever you are getting.

A lot of the 3rd party games have pretty deep discounts right now.

Hell, if there is a Toys R Us near you I'd go check them out b/c this is around the time they do their summer clearance sales and you can often get some pretty kick arse deals (I've bought games for us much as 90% off) on Wii/WiiU stuff there.

I decided on Rayman Legends because WW was not available. I won't have a chance to play it until I get home from watching Chevelle at the HOB tonight. Thanks again for the recommendations everyone,
