What Game Are You Playing Right Now?

Wind Waker on Wii U is vastly improved just because the second screen functionality.

Switching weapons is instant and you can even aim with the gyro.

In addition, you can play as first person (thanks to 2x sticks), you have a faster sail, and a few things I'm not remembering.

I'm a cheap person so I got it with the Mario Kart deal, and sold Mario Kart on ebay once I was sick of it. Ended up getting Wind Waker for about $10.

The new sail that they included in the HD version makes the game so much more enjoyable. Not saying it ruined the original, but it did make going from island to island a bit annoying. Then again, once you have the cyclone teleport song, traveling on water isn't really that necessary.

It's what I can almost always applaud them on and why they still have my business

Same with me. I got my Wii U a few months ago, and I can say that every game experience i've had with it have been fantastic to amazing. Mario Kart 8 admittedly was a bit of a let down mostly because it was pretty easy to unlock everything, but the online capability makes up for it. I recently got Super Smash Wii U, and that game is fantastic. Already mentioned Wind Waker HD. Super Mario 3D World is also fantastic. Been wanting to finish that one.

Smash 4 Wii U kicks ass and Mario Kart is fun enough I'm not to dissapointed with it, I picked up 3D World after seeing the Game Grumps play through it thinking it looked fun.

It's fun, but it can get hard as ****. I'm on the last "world" on mine, but haven't played it much.

The coolest part about 3D World, for me, was how it's the first multiplayer 3D mario game. It's really quite fun to play with your pals.

That's what i've heard as well. Haven't had the chance to play multiplayer yet, but it looks awesome.

Doing a Let's Play of this with the hopes of having it done by next Tuesday so I can start one on the remastered edition of Grim Fandango

^I've been watching a let's play of that and I really want to get it. It looks fantastic. Anyway, what have I been playing?

I bought into the early access of this game because I seriously have a soft spot for the 7 Days To Die / DayZ / zombie survival games. I don't know what it is, but I get a lot of hours of play out of them. This one looks very promising, and it's very very early in development, but I think it'll deliver.
