My son would love the Lego City game. For when I do bother to buy a WiiU of course.

You need to catch up on awesome 3DS games, bucko, before joining the Uverse.

Yeah that too. Although I'm not sure how I will do with either since I want to move but need to bring some debts down to make that happen. :/

I have to say, I'm actually a bit disappointed in the NFC stuff, since I actually sorta like these games, if it requires you buy the stupid figures to get the stupid Pokemon--thanks Activision...again...for nothing:

Why BK doesn't play this game is beyond me:

I don't know if this is worth a WiiU deathwatch thread yet but it is selling like a Vita right now. Maybe worse? Only 57k units moved in January, 80k at best in Feb although likely lower than that. Ouch. m.cnet.com/news/wii-u-unit-sales-jump-40-percent----and-still-disappoint/57574502Granted the article points out that gaming in general is on the decline and yes the WiiU is a bit more in cost than other consoles but still got handily thrashed by the 360. So what do you think Nintendo will do for a turnaround?

CONSOLE GAMING IS NOT IN DECLINE.
I give up. I'm not explaining this anymore. Nobody listens.
GOODBYE!

I guess it depends on what they mean by decline. I noticed that they did not define what they mean by that (perhaps that a lot of studios are closing or that a lot of developments are moving to non-game traditional platforms like tablets?). I mean, 302k units on the 360 this many years into its life is still pretty freaking good. But it does seem like the WiiU is having some trouble gaining momentum, based upon those numbers this soon after launch (unless it keeps going up 40% each month)

The "gaming" press and other sites have been saying nintendo is death for years now. Also, once more, every single site claiming tablets and mobile phones are the "future" of gaming are choke full of bs.

Here's hte problem with banging the "decline" drum: the market was artificially boosted by the Wii for several years. The entire past gen was filled with people who would otherwise never have bought a console (and probably will never buy one again). If you take the Wii out of the equation and assume Nintendo would have only sold 50-million of a machine comparable to the PS360, you end up with the same sized market as the previous gen. Using a phenomenon like the Wii as a baseline is highly misleading.

Yeah I remember a game magazine running a cover with a cracked Mario back in N64 days about Nintendo's fall or something. Was it EGM?
