[QUOTE="superballs, post: 186880, member: 341"] Funny thing is, Wii U is taking over my life. I feel like I like video games again. I'd love it if TPA was released on it, but honestly don't feel affected in the least. I would purchase it in a heartbeat but for the first time in a couple years TPA has serious competition for what's in my wallet. Bayonetta 2 - It took me a month to play the game I actually bought because I was busy playing through the first game. Got into the second game and loving every moment of it. This is highly technical button mashing at its absolute finest. Super Smash Bros - Between all the previous games I've played a grand total of about 15 minutes, on the Wii. I've never really been into it. But I picked this up and I love it. Online is great as long as nobody has a shoddy connection (then it's bullet time smash), but the game is great and I have a blast playing with my daughter. Mario Kart 8 - Absolutely a joy to play, between new tracks and remastered old tracks (original rainbow road - hell yeah!). Online play is fun. The only disappointment is the lack of dedicated battle mode arenas. Even the DLC is awesome (as mentioned above, original rainbow road!!!)
