So, I had to convince my wife for months to get me a Wii U. I showed her trailers, talked up the Gamepad, took her to Best Buy and GameStop to show her the demos in person, etc. She was still unconvinced. Fast forward 3 months and it's now hands down her favorite system. I was woken up this morning to the opening music of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze! She grabbed the Gamepad from my bedside table and started playing. Here's a list of her current favorite games:
- Assassin's Creed IV
- Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
- Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker HD (picking it up today!)
- New Super Luigi U
- New Super Mario Bros. U
- Nintendo Land
- Rayman Legends
- Super Mario 3D World
Also, after realizing it woke me up she plugged her headphones into the jack on the Gamepad and was able to play for an hour while I rolled over and went back to sleep. Anybody who can hate on that and doesn't see the value in the Gamepad just doesn't get Nintendo.
