Can't say I have, but the other ones look horrible.

I 'm reading it now and it doesn't do that well at all...

I like the look of this one http://www.amazon.co.uk/Classic-Wireless-Bluetooth-Controller-Nintendo/dp/B013B2UCDS/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1439806733&sr=1-1&keywords=Afterglow+Wii+U+Pro+Controller

but the lack of reviews has me a bit skeptical...

If you take into account shipping that probably comes out more expensive, even considering the yen.

Me too, and I hated it, I sold it and bought a Giotek one instead, that has the sticks and buttons in the same places as the 360 pad. Also it doubles as a Wii Pro pad as well, with the flick of a switch.

Convince me not to get the 8gb Wii U and Mario Kart 8 for €200 in Smyths and then buy Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 and Twilight Princess (games I've never played).

Please. Convince me.

Mr E

I think your sig says it all, Keno.

Mario Kart 8 can be pretty frustrating and hard, especially online, cause of the bloody power ups.

Ye both failed spectacularly in your given mission. Instead of convincing me to not purchase the above, you've done the opposite and then some.

I ordered Galaxy 1, 2, Twilight Princess and Wonderful 101 on Amazon and tomorrow will purchase the console with MK8 and also Super Mario Bros Wii U and Super Mario 3D World. I think I'll also pre-order the Mario Maker with the amiibo.

Thanks for nothing.

Wright

Err ok, congratulations/commiserations, I think?

I'm assuming you don't have a Wii so you need to get the Wii Motion Plus and nunchuck. You also need Wind Waker HD, Lego City Undercover, Wii version of Prince of Persia Forgotten Sands, Okami. Guessing Bayonetta 1 and 2 and just so you don't feel left out, you will also need Splatoon

I have two Wii remotes and a nunchuck. Will these not work or do I need the motion plus?

I have so many games coming and so many more games to buy! I was looking at Bayonetta as it's on sale in Argos but it's out of stock!

I'll be walking up to the counter tomorrow full of Wii U goodies like Al with his twinkies.



*Cashier stares*

Me: "Eh, they're for my pregnant wife little cousins.

Cashier: "Sure"

Me: "Just bag it"

Wii games can be played without Motion Plus, except specified games like Skyward Sword. But I think all Wii U games that use Wiimotes need Motion Plus, though I may be wrong. Maybe someone who has tried it can correct me

Don't forget Skyward Sword if you haven't played it.

And.... and... There is a long list of great games from Wii and Wii U. You made a wise decision.

Get a taste of Splatoon's thrilling ink-flinging 4-vs-4 multiplayer in a new Testfire summer camp event starting August 22nd

17/08/2015
No matter their age or skill level, everyone can enjoy some good clean fun in the unique action shooter Splatoon, only available for Wii U. Two teams of four players compete to cover the most ground with their ink in Turf Wars, fast-paced online matches where it’s mind over splatter, and tactics and teamwork win the day!
Anyone yet to take the plunge can sample the ink-flinging fun for themselves this month, with a special Splatoon Testfire summer camp event open to all Wii U owners. By downloading the free demo, available now from Nintendo eShop on Wii U, players can jump into one-hour Turf War sessions at certain times each day from August 22nd to the 28th.

• 19:00 – 20:00 on Saturday 22nd
• 19:00 – 20:00 on Sunday 23rd

• 09:00 – 10:00 on Tuesday 25th

• 15:00 – 16:00 on Thursday 27th
• 15:00 – 16:00 on Friday 28th

Meanwhile, Splatoon continues to get bigger and better, with a recent major software update introducing new ways to play with friends, two new weapon types, new gear and much more. For more information about the game, please visit the Splatoon website and stay tuned to the official Splatoon Facebook page for ongoing updates.
Splatoon is available from shops and as a downloadable version from Nintendo eShop now, only on Wii U.

The one I got in Smyths came with a game for €200, so if you account for that it's cheaper there.

Anyone else having problems getting online on Wii u or 3ds tonight? I can't even get onto the eshop nor can I play games online. I can however use the Internet browser on both systems.
