Agents of Geek: Nintendo’s understanding of fun is magical, and after all these years they continue to capture my heart. There is no wonder Nintendo earned a bit of praise coming out of E3 2014. The digital event, Treehouse: Live, and attention-grabbing games, it’s safe to say that the Wii U has generated a bit of genuine buzz.

But before you take the leap becoming a Wii U owner, consider taking some of these suggestions to get the most out of your Wii U ownership.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.
Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
A new list goes over eight of the the most useless amiibo, ranging from the Shadow Mewtwo card to the Qbby figure.
It's hard. It takes me about 10 of them to get a full glass of Wii U. It's pretty expensive but worth every penny.
