Is it sad that I most pumped about playing some games on the shitter?


Not at all. Remote play is a big feature that gets underplayed.

Sadly my connection doesn't make it to the shitter.

It does make it pretty far otherwise.

I think it looks pretty good sitting on mine. Also you can turn the gamepad into a remote for the TV


My Xbone takes care of the tv, not to mention I only realized after hooking up the console that it doesnt support optical audio... Long story short, I have to run hdmi to tv then optical out of my tv which does not pass through DTS or dolby. Sucks.

I figure I can just trade in my old Wii + 360 + ps3 and basically get the WiiU for free.


I am doing this except gonna keeping my PS3. Hopefully they don't notice my 360 has the red ring of death and my Wii randomly freezes up. Ill be lucky if that gets me a fraction of the way there.

Even though skyward sword wasn't up to par, its still worth the play, IMO. Plus, you can replay Wind Waker now.

Congrats on the Digital Secs

Plying Windwaker HD on my gamepad while watching the NBA playoffs has been full of win for me. Love my WiiU.

After looking at the pricing on the gamestop site and then contacting my local store directly it looks like I'm going to get about $130 for my ps3 and 360 combined. I'm not even going to frick with the Wii now regarding trading it. I may get $5 for all the games I have to trade in. Oh well...the wife is so sold on playing MK8 that she doesn't care how much we get for the trade-ins that it's going to happen

and they will most certainly check to see if things are working properly so cross your fingers that the wii is in a working mood

Correct decision.

The other consoles are good only if you want to play some generic mainstream fps titles. And you're a pc gamer so you'll have access to most of them anyway.

just bought a Wii U partially because of this
