We do not have a Wii. I'll definitely PM you. Thanks.

Also, on the game pad, does that break into 2 controllers? I guess, practically, how do 2 players play at the same time with 1 game pad.

Sorry for being an idiot.
No, the gamepad has the same buttons as a normal controller, just a little bigger. So, one person can use the gamepad (and in some games look at the screen on the gamepad) while the other uses the nintento controller that also should come with the system. So your system should come with one of each of these:

Ah. Got it. I didn't realize the other one came with the system.

True Story. We actually bought 3d World as a separate game because the bundle we planned on buying at the time had "New Super Mario Bros U" in it. I didnt realize until i typed the post above that the bundle we bought had 3D World. So now I have 2 of one and hope I can exchange it :/


Red Mosquito just saved Christmas!

If the GTAV/Last of Us PS4 bundle is still on sale after I get married, I am probably going to get it. My fiancee (then wife) will kill me.

Played the demo for Tales from the Borderlands. Now I'm excited to play the full episode. Man I love Telltale.

Well I went in on Black Friday and got myself an Xbox One, and I'm very pleased with it.

A Microsoft Store had just opened up here in New Orleans, and I learned that they do trade-ins (many of the values were a bit better than what GameStop was offering)

They had a good deal where they'd give me $100 bucks for my old PS3, so I got the Assassin's Creed bundle, and they gave me a free game along with it to boot (my choice of any game in the store, so I went with Dragon Age: Inquisition Deluxe Edition).

I'm playing the hell out of some Dragon Age and Shadow of Mordor right now, it's been a good holiday!

Episode 1 of Tales from the Borderlands was awesome. Funny, atmospheric, cinematic, and featuring very appealing characters. Plus a truly epic and exciting action climax. It felt like a self-contained movie...and it's just the first episode! Some of Telltale's best work.

I'm assuming these are the types of games that I'm going to miss out on by going with the Wii U, huh?
