[Wii U] Will I ever update the community list?

SirUltimos

Lego Batman sold 11 million copies?

Capt Howdy

Lego games print money. This is proven fact.

Now, barring a complete cock-up, I think Lego City Stories will be a game I get no matter what. Looks like good shit.

H*R

Well I'm already buying Lego City, and I've been playing Lego Batman with my son on Xbox. As long as the price is within reason I'll probably just pick up the Wii U version of Batman 2. I'll probably have to pick up a pro controller though. I'm not sure he's got the dexterity for Wiimote+Nunchuck.

This is actually really good news. I'm trying to distance myself from my Xbox and it was already going to become my Lego back catalog machine. Now they just need to release Lego Star Wars The Complete Saga on Wii U and I'm set.

I can say that if they did the Lego back catalog available in the eShop for like $20 each I would probably buy the majority of them...again.

Oh man, that was my son's favorite part of the museum level in Batman 1. He's going to flip over this!

Oh man, the more I see of Lego City, the more I want it.

Drivable T-Rex? Why yes there is. 8->

Aaaaaand Sporky sells me on Lego City with one image...

SirUltimos

Welp, I'm sold.

It's kinda ridiculous to say that one game will "save" the Wii U.

Software in general will "save" the Wii U. Once games are available that people want to play, they'll buy the system, the same way they did with the 3DS.

Nah, the WiiU is doomed. Dooooooooooooooooooooooooooomed

Lego City sounds fantastic and I've been excited for it since it's been announced, but I can't afford a WiiU right now. I'll likely pick one up later this year along with the first big first party title (probably Wind Waker or the new Mario) and then maybe get Lego City for Christmas.

Lego City Undercover is going to have the advantage in that not only does it look like a great game, but because it's the first thing in a long time it should get a lot more attention than it would otherwise.

But at the same time the console is not getting a lot of attention, so the game won't necessarily get attention either. I think very few people are going to buy the system just for this game.

SirUltimos

I mean more among the people who already own the console. I'm not going to say that the game is in a good position overall, just better than it would be otherwise.

If they market it correctly, it might.

Capt Howdy

I shall predict Lego City to outsell ZombieU.

Bold, I know.

UncleSporky

I think it has a great possibility of having a long tail if they keep it on store shelves, but it's not going to explode out of the gate.

All they have to do is let people know the title of the game, that it's on WiiU and just plaster that T-Rex photo all over the place.

I meant leg wise. Stacey Keibler legs. And it will be the #1 WiiU seller for that week, and a few more after.

I am thinking about buying a Wii U. Stacy Keibler on the Wii U would make me buy the console faster.

If I were to buy a Wii U, what Wii must have games are there? As in, what games would be really hard to get a hold of later on down the road.

Xenoblade's already kind of up there in price. I needs me one. Also Radiant Dawn. I should pick up Last Story before it starts skyrocketing as well...

Last Story and Pandora's Tower when it comes out next month. Unless you're not in NA, then get that asap.

UncleSporky

Xenoblade is already hard to get ahold of. Honestly I would wait for a reissue or Wii U remake or something.

It's hard to say what else might be hard to get later. Currently The Last Story is reasonably priced and may become rare-ish, I recommend that.

Most games you might think would be hard to get are reasonably priced. Games like Muramasa, A Boy and His Blob, MadWorld, Resident Evil Umbrella Chronicles...all for like $20 each on ebay. Eventually that will dry up though.

The Dude With Herpes

I dunno about 'reasonably priced' but aside from the already mentioned Xenoblade, you could try to find a copy of Metroid Prime Trilogy; I understand it's pretty difficult to get ahold of?

Both Super Mario Galaxies for sure are must have, but shouldn't be hard to find down the road.

precisionk

I will have to look into those choices. What about party game wise? What is good on the Wii, beyond Mario Party?

Wii Sports Resort is a fun game.

The Dude With Herpes

I personally enjoyed Go Vacation; not necessarily a 'party game', but more of a ton of minigames connected with a big world you can explore and collect things in. Boom Blox was pretty decent too.

I specifically enjoyed the 2nd game, BOOM BLOX Bash Party.

The Dude With Herpes

Never played that one. Did it add much more?

Dirty

Yeah, that Prime Trilogy has only been slowly rising in price since it got discontinued. It was $60+ on Amazon back when I was looking for it, and now it's $80+.

I kinda got lucky and came across a local seller who was selling it for way less than average because it was missing it's plastic slip cover.

This is a trap. It's currently $180 on amazon.

I did manage to nab one for $130 last night though.

Better multiplayer and the ability to upload and download user created levels.

So glad I pre-ordered.

Very angry I didn't do the same with the other 2 Wii RPGs that were never supposed to come out here.

skeldare

To this day I'm so glad to have copies of both Metroid Prime Trilogy and Xenoblade. It pays to pre-order.

The Dude With Herpes

Huh. That does sound pretty good. I might have to get that as it's probably the game my wife and I played the most of on the Wii.

Foomy

So glad I got a new copy of Xenoblade from gamestop online 2 months ago, must of been one of the last few new copies they still had, as a few weeks after that everyone started to have trouble finding it, and the price is going up like crazy.

and I just pre-ordered Pandora's Tower yesterday, make sure I don't run into those same sort of shortages again.
