:qq: but but the wii u sucks and mario kart 8 is no fun and all people should do is talk about how much the xbox one sucks and not think im retarded for putting in thousands of hours into dota 2 and eve :qq:

Realtalk though the Wii U is amazing and MK8 really makes it shine especially with local multiplayer

Wii u sold out everywhere. Wii u backordered. Wii u is gaming's hottest product. Parents picking up their kids from school trade wii u acquisition strategies. Reggie appears on morning news shows above a banner that says "Nintendo does it again". Wii U Mania causes fatal robberies in Michigan, Kansas, and Florida. Sony and microsoft look on as a sales bar with mario's grinning face on it mocks them as it ascends triumphantly into the heavens. They hold hands and weep. Iwata redeemed. Gamers rejoice.

Well, yes. There are a lot of quality single player titles as well, even if you do not have friends.

The Wii U is the only console worth buying. Play everything else on PC. Only smart way to do it.

This really is the way to go this generation honestly

I can't think of any reason not to keep investing in my PC and keep to my 3DS/WiiU for anything console related

Just purchased a refurbished Wii U. 2 day shipping is 10 dollars, standard (5-11 business days!) is 5. I will be saving approximately $70 minus the Wii Remote (but thats ok because I have no friends) all the while receiving Nintendo Land and Mario Kart 8

I know that feel OP, I went hunting for one a week ago and the store only had a Nintendo Land bundle and a Windwaker bundle.

They had maybe five PS4s and like twenty Xbox One's though lol.
