You can't stop the Nintendoom train of anti-hype. It's too powerful. It's like some giant, barreling, mega-monolith of epic, hateful proportions; a twisted, disgusting locomotive of unwieldy momentum.
Thankfully, there is one thing that can derail the Nintendoom train and it's called positive Wii U sales. How will this be accomplished? Easy. The Wii U just has to move off store shelves with good software, just like crack moves out of a dealer's hand when standing around Toronto's mayor, Rob Ford.
Mm, mm, mm. Look at all of that Mario Kart 8 goodness, surrounded by a bunch of gift cards that mommy and daddy are buying for little Timmy who wanted a PS4 after browsing through Neogaf and getting enticed by all those mindfully delectable propaganda pieces.
Even still, the pro-hype train for the PS4 and the anti-hype train of Nintendoom isn't enough to keep theBig 'N' down. It'll take a lot more than angry, gift-card-wielding members of the blue brand to hold back the moustache-wearing minority and his family. All the threats of doom and the signs of underpoweredness have no effect on the positive power of brightness and fun that comes with the Big 'N' and their first-party titles.
In fact, reviewers – even the far-low ones deep in the plastic of the Doritocracy – have mentioned that Mario Kart 8 is blowing them away... hard, and not just because they paid for it.
This is why I post and read Cinemablends' Usher written articles, blatantly biased, but creative and fun with it. I've always thought any kind of entertainment writing should not just be about the facts but in how articles are actually written. There's an art to making interesting prose, but most gaming articles are so dry and boring. And yes, he posts gifs in the 'articles'.
The Mario Kart Wii U bundle is $350 here, but the Mario+Luigi bundle that includes NSMB and Super Luigi is $300. As far as I could tell, it was basically the cost of the bundled Wiimote and plastic wheel. Seems like a crappy deal comparatively. Anyone know if there's some other perks to justify the $50 price bump?

Tell me to get back to rewriting this site so it's not horrible on mobile
If you don't own a MP Wiimote its not a bad deal. Plus don't forget about the free game. Once you register a copy of MK you can get a free copy of NSNBWU or other games. So st least in the next 2 months that bundle is still better.
You know if they released the Vita TV in the West I think I'd buy one. The idea of a micro console has been on my mind lately due to the way my home is set up. To have access to Netflix and games on all TVs is kind of appealing.
Yeah, I'd get the NSMBU+SLU bundle, and buy MK separate. It's easily the better deal. The Wiimote isn't required to play the game, and the Upad has motion controls too if you want to play that way. Plus the Upad has a virtual horn button on the touchscreen! Ya don't get that with the Wiimote/Wheel nonsense.
I'll hold off for a while. Maybe cross my fingers and hope for an E3 announcement. No Fire though. If rather have decent games available other than stuff on emulators, which seem to be the only thing on Android systems that are worth a damn.

Good to see they hired Samus Aran for the next Halo.
Didn't notice that. A Retro artist is working for 343 now, which explained some metroid-esque designs in Halo 4.

Or just get a Fire TV.
