Title: ordered a wii u, 360 arcade recs, PS3 online FPS
Post by: sharpfork on June 16, 2014, 12:06:25 am
Nintendo
I'm really digging my 3ds and am remebering how much fun Nintendo is at the top of its game.  After watching some videos from Nintendo's e3 announcements, I ordered a factory refurbed 32 gig wii U with nintendo land for $199 off groupon.  I also picked up mario kart 8 form Amazon as well as New Super Mario Bros. U + New Super Luigi U Nintendo Wii U from eBay.  I think I'll have enough club points + some deal with mario kart 8 to pick up wii u party for the kiddos.  Any other recommendations for Wii U?

xBox 360
I'm also really enjoying having a couple x360s in cabs and for system link FPSes with my kid.  I'm really digging shmups in my tate cab and the SF series in my horizontal.  Any other x360 games that play well in cabs other than shmups and fighters?

PS3
I just picked up another unmodded PS3 and am looking for a good older game that still has a decent online scene so I can team up with my kid and have some fun.  Any recommendations for games I can pickup used somewhat cheap?

Wii U Party is exceptionally boring.  Opt for the 3D Super Mario Bros instead.  I really can't suggest any other games for that system.  Make sure you do the hacks so you at least get the 5 games on Wii worth playing.

I gave up on it and bought a PS4 last week.

I'm really digging the Wii U.  I also bought a second 3Ds (XL this time) so my kids stop fighting over the first one I got.
