Purchased my first ever Nintendo home console from Pbbseller yesterday and received it today! Really surprise for the fast shipment! Took some time seeking for confirmation that the power adapter actually support multi-voltage even though it is labelled 120V. Another thing I noticed is the power adapter is to humongous! It is definitely the largest adapter I ever saw among the consoles (handheld or home) that I owned. Among the games I purchased are Mario Kart 8, The Legend of Zelda - The Wind Waker HD, Super Mario 3D World, and Super Mario Bros that came with the bundle.

Being a Nintendo 3DS owner for quite some time now, I am very pleased with the neat and simple interface and glad they streamlined it across their game consoles. Kudos for that! This is contrast with PS4 interface which for me, looks quite typical for its modern theme. Did I say I like Nintendo fonts very much? icon_idea.gif Couldn't comment much on the game *yet* because of the system updates that took almost 3 hours now, and counting.... cool2.gif Meanwhile I'm killing time by taking some photos of it biggrin.gif I should have update it directly from the Mario Kart 8 game that came with 4.1.0. Even if I do that do I still need to have the latest system version in order to access the online features such as multiplay and e-shop? Does it work similarly as 3DS? If so I would be beaten myself for updating it via Internet.

When I look at the photo again, I can't help but noticed that the aesthetic of Nintendo games are so bright and colorful! rclxms.gif

Total ownership cost is around 1.7k. I'm sure it will bring joy among my friends and family altogether.

Indeed all the Nintendo games that I purchased (especially Wii U titles) are really vibrant in colors. Easy for people of all ages to pick up, even my parents tongue.gif IMO, Playstation titles could be hard to reach for casual gamers.

Hi there. I myself purchased a Wii U Mario & Luigi bundle and a couple of games from Pbbseller for RM1150, which is the standard pricing currenlty. Another seller would be ^ Kyoyagami or wiiseller smile.gif All of them are very reputable in their service smile.gif

To answer your other question, now is definitely the best time to buy considering the upcoming game roster, namely Super Smash Bros (which unfortunately I'm not a fan of anyways, no flaming please tongue.gif), Yoshi's Woolly World, Captain Todd Treasure Tracker (kind of like the Tood's special world in Super Mario 3D World), Xenoblade Chronicles X (The prequel is awesome!), Bayonetta 2 (Wii U exclusive), and so on.

I would definitely recommend you to get The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD if you're not eyeing on it already. I've been clocking almost 50 hours now and the open world and cellshading is very well done. I have not played the GameCube version before so I can't compare between them. But oh jolly, this game is awesome, in every way possible for Wii U. Definitely the best RPG game on Wii U thus far!
