Not at all! The Wii U is probably my favorite video game system I have ever owned.

Nintendo Gaming / Re: Let's moan about stupid wit less staff at video game retailers - ah come on!
« on: January 13, 2014, 01:42:18 PM »
First off I have to say I actually love my city's Gamestop. The people there are pretty nice and usually are helpful. And they all have DS's so I know I get to streetpass at least 4 or 5 people, even on a slow day there lol.
But, one really frustrating lack of Nintendo knowledge on their part happened not too long ago with me. My visiting mom brought her dog over to my house. A dog who thought it would be a good idea to crew through the cord that recharges the Wii U's gamepad. Asking them at Gamestop if they had any new ones, one employee told me that the recharging cord is the same for the gamepad as for the 3DS. I was fairly sure that was not right and when I said I think the plug in was much smaller for the 3DS another employee them jumped in and said that he personally uses the same cable to recharge his 3DS and Wii U gamepad all the time.
I go home and sure enough find that the cords are not the same. So I head back over there with the game pad and 3DS cord and showed them they aren't the same. After doing some "research", another employee told me that you can not buy the cord to recharge the game pad, and the only thing I could do is buy this recharging station made by Energizer. So like a fool I gave in and bought it for $30. It stunk given the short battery life of the Game Pad as you can not use it to charge and play at the same time. After about 2 weeks of this hell I did what I should have done in the first place, go to Nintendo's website, and literally the next day had a cord at my front door for $19.
So when it comes to the Wii U I think I will skip their advise in the future.

General Gaming / Re: 2014 Nintendo Prediction
« on: January 07, 2014, 12:26:54 AM »
My bold predictions:
1) The Wii U actually has a better year in 2014, topping the 10 million lifetime sales mark by the end of the year.
2) Nintendo stuns at E3 with a new game in the Earthbound series underway.
3) Work is announced that in 2015 you will be able to link your 3DS to your Wii U and play a wide array of 3DS games on your home TV (no 3d effect of course).
4) Animal Crossing for the Wii U is announced.
5) Mario Kart 8 will have a Rainbow Road track.
