Mario Kart, haven't played that in years used to be so addicting.

KatsumiPosted:

Tomodachi Life for the Nintendo 3DS seems pretty cool. Seeming that i have one lying around somewhere i may consider picking it up

XsplayPosted:

Might have to get a wii U a bit ealy love that promotion there offering

BoarPosted:

-Tupac I used to love playing Mario on the wii.


All about that Gameboy life. Mario Sunshine bruh, that game was my childhood.

I still hear the happy music from time to time :')

BoarPosted:

Underneath This update is gonna bring some more life to Nintendo.


I think thats the plan. Nintendo have been going down a steep slope lately, good to see them recovering a bit.

BoarPosted:

Mario Kart 8.. Wind Waker HD.. Yup I might be buying a Wii U now ;-;

KixaPosted:

I agree since mario kart is a pretty popular game.

This is really neat. I think that it really gets people to buy things when they do promotions like buy a game and get another full game free. Plus the games they are offering for free are really neat. I don't see why everyone thinks that the only good game for the Wii U is Mario Kart, I really like Super Mario Bros, Legend of Zelda, and the Wii Sports, we all played them as kids and it was very fun and I still enjoy playing them to this day.

TomPosted:

I never knew that this would happen. Really want to play this!

SmurfsPosted:

I didn't know that the Wii U had something like this.

Maggardo If I had a Wii U, Mario Kart would be the first game I would buy. Actually, it would probably be one of the only games I'd buy.

Same here, it looks really fun too, but I'm not gonna buy the console for just one game.
