Just Bought a Wii U

[Madmanchris1]

So yeah i bought the wii for splatoon mostly as it looks fun to play and i think my gf will really enjoy it too. 

 

Can you guys recommend any accessories i need? Or games? (got splatoon & zelda wind) or good sites for cheap codes.

 

or if you wanna play with me drop me your name i think mine is madmanchrisr 

 

also bought it from Argos for £199 (premium edition with zelda & splatoon) also got a £20 voucher with it. Every where else its like £250 so a pretty good price i think.

Every Wii U owner should have:

- Splatoon

- Mario Kart 8

- Smash Bros

- Bayonetta 1+2

- Super Mario 3D World

 

Other than that, I'd suggest you get a Wii U Pro Controller for multiplayer and for single player stuff when you don't want to use the GamePad. Then if you don't have it a WiiMote + Nunchuck combo is probably worth getting both for backwards compatibility (it'll allow you to get Wii games, some you can download) and for some Wii U titles. NintendoLand in particular is a pretty decent party game which requires WiiMotes. But really, 90% of the time I'm playing games on mine it's on the GamePad. A quick round of Mario Kart during half-time, that sort of thing.

 

With Amiibos, it's complicated. Mostly the value in them is the fact that they're nice little figurines. I wouldn't think of them as "DLC" but in a way that's kinda what they are. Mostly you use them to unlock largely cosmetic features in games, often stuff related to the character it is. For example if you scan MegaMan into Mario Kart you get a MegaMan hat. There's a Yoshi game coming out where you can unlock different patterned Yoshi's when you scan an Amiibo. Then there are some games where they have specific unlocks. In Splatoon the Splatoon Amiibo unlock a challenge mode which gives you access to more gear. Basically if you really like Pacman, for example, you can buy a Pacman figurine that will also unlock Pacman related things in some games. That's how I'd look at it.
