There are no friend codes with the Wii U.
Everything needs Gears. Even the Gameboy Colour needs Gears.
You're missing out on some great titles then! Super Mario Galaxy 2 is one of the best games ever.
I kind of agree with you on that. I don't know how much better the game can look, to be honest. Hopefully we'll just see added things such as map packs with the Wii U version.
I'm glad to see so much support for the Wii U already, to be honest. I can't wait to see what else is in store of the Wii U.
The 3DS version was awesome and the controls made it pretty easy to play. I'm hoping for more of the same.
