It might. But I'm not really interested in it. If they had a demo I'd definitely try it. I will agree with you though that the eShop functions pretty damn well. Hopefully soon they'll have demos.

The games I'm interested in are Nintendo exclusives and also multiplatform games that are better on the Wii U than they are on the Xbox 360 and PS3 because of the small but likely noticeable technical advantage it will have when developers figure their shit out.

the easiest way to add people is through miiverse and use the search function then when you add them that way the other person sees the friend invite.

Like that assclown who posted about how Mario games should be.  f*ck that guy.  What the hell does he know?  "The mushroom kingdom should be different with each Mario game".  f*ck off, duder.

Having a Mushroom Kingdom that feels refreshing with each new game isn't some retarded notion I have. I experienced the Mario magic back in '86 and with each subsequent game it always felt like I was experiencing something new and original. I know it can happen in this era because Super Mario Galaxy did it in spectacular fashion. Sorry if I offended you, man, but do we really need to go there?

I played the one player Nintendoland games... I'll probably never play the fzero, ninja stars, and yoshi games again. I'm assuming the multiplayer is where it's at as expected. The DK game was fun though- I could see playing it 'one more time' for hours.

Played more Zombi U last night. Man are these reviewers out there stupid. The game is great. I made it to a second check point last night, and i had such a feeling of relieve. It was like a weight was lifted off me. i had to play super cautiously, and i almost died a few times, But i was just so happy that my character got to save (sleep).

Finally played Nintendo Land tonight. Most of it was crap and I don't recommend owners of the basic system shell out $60 for it. It's basically "Wii Play", a bunch of demos. However there is balloon Trip Breeze included on the disc and it is awesome. Just like the classic but updated for the new millennium! It's like a DS game, but better!

Here's a screenshot of me playing this awesome game.

I've been hearing that Tank Tank Tank is pretty good. Anyone played it?

Tank Tank Tank, is that the game with all the Contra references & Contra'ish music?  I have it on PS3, though maybe I'm thinking of a differnet game, & I'm too lazy to check atm. :P

My girlfriend and I played Mario for an hour, was fun to get her on a game for once.  I admit the game is nowhere near as good looking as Rayman, but I hardly see any jaggies.

Scribblenauts has been awesome.  I am nearing the end, so I am a little bummed, but it has been a blast.

Played one game of NBA 2K13 today and it was solid.  No better or worse than the PS3 version, so it is refreshing to see developers doing so well with the system so early.

The jaggies are definitely there. But I look for those things. Anyway I found that putting the Wii U in 720p definitely helps it to look better, at least for these initial games. The TV has a much better upscaler than the Wii U does. When (and if) they actually start making games in 1080p I'll set it back. Nintendo won't release all of the specs so they must have something to hide. I'm betting we're gonna get a lot of 720p games like the PS3 and Xbox 360 with a few 1080p games here and there.

My WiiU locked up about four times last night when playing Nintendo Land. Anyone else have this problem? It's locked up before, but this was the first time it did it consistently. My son and I were trying to play another game of Luigi's Ghost Mansion, and each time we entered the door, the game would freeze and the console made a horrendous screeching noise.
