Listen man when you buy a Wii U you absolutely MUST get Mario Kart 8, Smash, and Super Mario 3D World

and probably also Splatoon if you're into the online shooter thing or even if you're not it really is pretty fun

there's a lot of other good poo poo but this is the ABSOLUTE MINIMUM!!!

I don't know, only have one of those four (SM3DW) and I don't think I'm missing anything.

I don't play multiplayer games, though.

MK8 is very good as a singleplayer game too, and the online is great if you're into that. Smash and Splatoon are totally multiplayer focused though

Smash games also have lots and lots of single player stuff to do as well, so I'd say it's pretty satisfying too as a single player thing.

Smash 4's single player isn't very good, it's a huge step down there.

Splatoon has a decent single player, but it's certainly not worth buying just for that. On the other hand, if you buy it you might realize you really like online multiplayer more than you thought.

As a guy who played the poo poo out of Smash Bros in the past and never cared much for Mario Kart, Mario Kart 8 is really good and better than Smash 4.

I don't know, I used to play Mario Kart 7 a lot. But I guess I kinda burned out of Mario Kartin', since even if I did buy Mario Kart 8 full-price, I just can't find the motivation to play. Compared to Splatoon, where I'll happily sit hours playing until the battery dies.

Compared to Brawl I'd agree, but idk, I found Smash single player stuff more enjoyable than MK stuff. I am biased though since I vastly prefer smash.

Mario Kart 8 offers hours of fun in the form of the playback tool, which lets you look at Wario's face in slow motion as long as you want.

The manger babies don't have feelings. You said it yourself.
Mario Kart 8 (specifically the Luigi Death Stare meme) and Dex01's LP of SM3DW was what pushed me into buying a Wii U for myself last year.

It was a good decision.

Mario Kart 8 is a load of fun, and it gets exponentially more fun when you add more players on your couch. I think Mario 3D World is the better singleplayer experience, but those two games alone justified my purchase of the console. The HD Zeldas, Smash, Splatoon, Virtual Console, Mario Maker, and Captain Toad are just multiple cherries on top.

Mario Kart 8 is extremely good but has a limited shelf life - even with the DLCs there are only so many maps, and there's basically no battle mode.

Smash 4 on the other hand has so many characters that I feel like I could play it for the next 40 years!

I genuinely don't know where they could go from Smash 4 aside from making more robust single player content or including yet more anime boys.

Bought a WiiU recently and I was curious, how exactly do I get my hands on Bayonetta 1? From all accounts it looks like people still sell Bayo 2 but it's no longer the one that ships with a Bayo 1 disc. Is buying the first game in digital really the only option unless I pay about 100 bucks for the first print or whatever?

Bayonetta 1 is alright and all, but not great, so please don't buy some inflated price copy. If you absolutely must play it on Wii U, just buy both digitally to get both games for a total of $60. With the Bayonetta 2 reprint being what, $30? I'd just get that. It's a better game overall.

Yeah buying digitally is the only way at this point. If you're concerned about hard drive space, keep in mind that the Wii U will accept any USB hard drive.
