Remember to download your free game when you register Mario Kart 8 on your Club Nintendo account.

Free game choices are NSMBU, Pikmin 3, Zelda WW, or Wii Party.

Played about 3 hours after work with my son, two nephews, daughter, and daughter's friend, as well as a bit of single player. Absolutely one of the more enjoyable gaming experiences in a long, long time. Tons of laughing and screaming.

Tracks are excellent, graphics are gorgeous, along with plenty of challenge, luck, and strategy. What a stellar game.

My copy arrives on Monday and can't wait. I've lost interest in this hobby over the years with the exception of Nintendo franchises.

Club Nintendo site is swamped. Took me a while to sign in, then took a while to register my game. We are getting Zelda Windwaker. The free game offer ends July 31.

Played a few races today with my son. Fun game as always and the upgraded graphics are nice.

My boys and I are enjoying MK8 immensely.

The new courses are sublime. Shy Guy Falls....just wow...and the Sunshine airport level, my 6 year old was beaming.

It is so much fun to play a fun work of art with them.

I downloaded Pikmin 3 and they are entranced with it as well.

The WiiU is becoming my favorite console of all time.

Anyone planning on picking up Super Smash Brothers? Reviews have been great. My concern is that as most a single player, I won't find as much enjoyment other than playing against my son and daughter.

Yep, I pre-ordered and downloaded it a couple of days ago. Looking forward to checking it out tonight. Depth looks incredible. My 21 and 18 year old son's have been playing in some local SSB tournaments, so I'll be asking them to school me up this weekend!

Picked it up today for WiiU! My son already has the 3DS version. He also got a Link amiibo. I might get a Mario or DK.

I tried SSB on the Wii and couldn't get into it especially with Nintendo's online account setup BS.

Yes and painfully bad. The same goes for pretty much all of their consoles.

If you want to talk Next Gen based on only games then :

WII U 10X > PS4 AND XBOXONE

I am going to pick it up but won't play it until Xmas as it is a gift for the boys and I.

They watched IGN's video review and can't wait to play it.

Still playing Super Mario 3D World, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3 and Mario Kart 8. LOVING our WIIU!

The Wii U is officially dead with the Nintendo announcement of their NX console system. Hopefully they can catch up to Sony and Microsoft with tying your games to your account instead of a hardware address.

Why not just make DS handhelds, mobile games and software for the PS and Xbox systems?

Splatoon demo is out and comes with a 10% discount off the digital game. It'll be broken up into three 1 hour sessions. If you find someone wearing a white lab coat, that's one of the games devs.

My boys are itching for this one big time. My 7 year old has become a really good Mario Kart/Smash Bros player and I think he will do well with this. The 30 minute video that came out last week had them glued for 30 minutes.

Between it and Lego Jurassic World in a few weeks, my boys will be set for the summer.

Then it will be time to same $ for a PS4 as my 9 year old is salivating over Star Wars Battlefield.
