grinded out about 10 in a row on sunday afternoon to get to 2726/platinum
felt great

Damn!  Nice job.  I've been stuck in 2350-2470 land for what seems like months.  I blame TTHOTUC.

thanks....started the day at 2,350 or so and hooked up with 5 other guys (some of which i've played with before), we all had mics and communicated and it took us a couple of hours before we lost our first round

Scorpio is basically going to sell nothing it looks like.

If Nintendo could bottle up everything that makes the Zelda games great and apply those concepts to other games they wouldn't be hurting right now.

Playing the show as of now franchise mode. I have destroyed the twins on veteran dynamic difficulty.

What? Nintendo titles aren't the problem for them at all, it's that their consoles suck for third party titles.

Got it today.  Pretty great to be playing at KC Bier Co while my nephews/nieces ran around throwing rocks and acting a fool with all the other spoiled BKS kids then come home and play on the big screen.

I fear I'll like Zelda and then nothing else great will come out (like a full featured FIFA) and I'll tire of the switch.

Yeah, I'll probably get Mario kart but I don't know that anything else will interest me on it

Need some advice. I want to get a game console for my wife and kids for Mother's Day. We don't have anything currently. The last time I bought a game system was the N64 (no crap). I'm not a huge gamer, my wife isn't, and we don't really want our kids doing this much, either. But I want to get them a few of those motion dancing/sports games they can play together. They had a blast doing some dancing game on a friend's old wii a few weeks ago. So that's what I'm going for. I'm not looking for cutting edge - in fact I'd probably rather avoid it. I'm looking for easy to use, relatively inexpensive, good for motion, and good for wives and young kids.

With that in mind, what would you recommend? I was thinking a Wii U? Plus a dancing game, sports game, and maybe MarioCart? Does a Wii U come with the motion stuff, or is that extra?

[star seed 7]

Wii-u probably. I don't think any games will be released for it going forward though, but that might not be important to you

[DQ12]

make them enter the competitive world of overwatch.  my crew needs a dependable tracer.

[GregKSU1027]

Buy a Wii. The thing also plays GameCube games so if you want the GOAT Mario kart game Mario Kart Double Dash. Then make that purchase also the Wii has fun motion control games like Rayman raving rabbids and Mario party. The Wii was my first big purchase as a kid and will always hold a dear place in my heart. The Wii also has smash Bros and two amazing Zelda titles. Also Wii sports comes with everything and you could also buy the NBA jam reboot. Dang what a great system
