Hey, I have some WiiU codes from a Humble Bundle ages ago that I can't use because I don't have a WiiU. They're probably poo poo but they're also free, help yourself!

I LOVE SEEING DEAD BABIES ON 𝕏, THE EVERYTHING APP. IT'S WORTH IT FOR THE FOLLOWING TAB.
I'm deciding between buying Pikmin 3, Yoshi's WW or Captain Toad. I'm kinda leaning towards Pikmin or CT, whichever one is more of a chill session. I could be sold on YWW if it's a really good platformer in the vein of NSMB Wii U. Any recommendations?

Captain Toad is perfect, all the little levels are tightly designed and relatively brief, so its great for picking up and putting down whenever, puzzles are fun and unique, good ramp of difficulty + the usually mega difficult hyper twists that they put in after the credits roll, if you want to delve deep. I loved that game

Good choice. I'm also seconding it and really hope it gets a sequel on Switch. Such a charming little game.

The other two games are also must plays though. Make sure you play the Wii U version of Woolly World since it's gorgeous and has co-op.

If you have a Wii u start with Return to Dreamland. Triple Deluxe and Planet Robobot are the same style of game and each one is better than the last. But they're all amazing

Kirby Superstar is a pretty good introduction to the series. It's the one I was recommended to start with. It's actually several shorter games in one. I think I started with the top left one? Anyway, it's very charming and cute and has a nice variety of enemies for Kirby to copy and mow down.

Kirby Superstar, definitely

I don't even play Kirby all that much, but it's broken into small fun adventures and mini-games. And the coop is good in that game

Recommending Kirby spinoffs to Kirby virgins is Very Dangerous, I have learned. I was talking to someone awhile ago that said they hated Kirby games and turns out the only one they'd played was Canvas Curse, and now she's addicted to Robobot and says they love Kirby

Kirby's Dream Course was originally being developed as a generic minigolf game until Miyamoto told HAL to rework it with a Kirby theme, but once it was released they went back and completed the non-Kirby version for release on Satellaview as "Special Tee Shot" - the mechanics are the same but the courses are all new and there are a few new gimmicks. You can't buy it anywhere but the ROM's not hard to find.

The themes and metaphors are too complex for those without the proper Kirby background and training, you must be a level 2 Kirby fan to appreciate this good game

I GOT CRABBY ABOUT PHONE GAMING
I am in love with all of the games I've got so far for my Switch, but I really can't wait for them to flesh out the e-store more as soon as possible. There are so many Nintendo only titles they could throw us PLUS a huge library of Indie games. Just imagine if we could get a taste of whats going on with PS4/Steam/iOS. We already have some of these titles but so many more would adapt PERFECTLY from a playability standpoint, although the technical details might be a bitch since I haven't explored a lot of that end of poo poo. I'm not saying they are lazy. I'm just saying there is so much potential and I hope we continue to explore more of it. Anyone exchanging codes here?

I think there's a NeoGeo shmup dropping, plus that non-Jackbox party game and 3 others, but I forget what they are.

Seconding the guy who said not to suggest spin offs for someone looking to try the Kirby series. I hated Dream Course and love the Kirby series. It's really not a great idea to suggest an isometric 16bit golf putting sim when someone is asking how to get into a powerup based 2D platformer.

The best part is that you can multiplayer this on the go with a New 3DS, since you can actually change controller port in-system.
