I ordered Pokemon Y and Mario and Luigi: Dream Team. Waiting for my next paycheck to get Pikmin and Wonderful 101, although given how little time I have to play, I might just stick with the 3DS games.

So it jumped from 5600-ish to about 38000-ish?
Edit: Oh, wait the UK.
The Wii U sold 1,268 units the week before Wind Waker HD. 685% would put last weeks sale at 8,685 units.

Did this get posted here yet? Blows always the E3 trailer and will probably be THE game that will sell systems this Christmas.

I will freely admit that I'm looking forward to Super Mario 3D World more than any of the launch titles for the Xbox One or PS4.

Super Mario 3D World looks fine and all but people should be buying Rayman. Do we know if the gamepad serves any purpose in Mario?

Amazing, amazing, amazing game. It inspired me to finally knock out Rayman Origins too; I got stuck on the last level a couple of years ago and learned enough through Legends to figure that tricky jump out!Unless they've added more since E3, this is it:
You can use the touch screen on the GamePad to interact with hidden coins and blocks and reveal them. Or you can activate the gyro camera controls on the touch screen, which you can use to look around in the game, much like you would look around in Super Mario 64 or Super Mario Sunshine with the camera controls in that game.
3D World finds a much better reason for gamers to utilise their GamePad functionality as well. While three others can control Luigi, Princess Peach and the mushroom-like Toad via Wii remotes, the last is able to rub the screen of their tablet to reveal secrets dotted around each stage. Whether through hidden coins or invisible platforms, players utilising it are given good reason to interact with the environment rather than simply rushing to the finish line.

The new trailer upgrades Super Mario 3D World to a must purchase. The E3 trailer had me worried with all of the 4 player levels shown. I don't want my Super Mario to be another New Super Mario or Mario Party clone. The new video lays those concerns to rest and definitely says this will be the upgrade that I wanted to the 3DS game that I love. As far as Rayman, I'm sure it will be $19.99 next month.

It's a great problem to have.
But dumb of Nintendo to have the same dates. Maybe Mario will digitally come early?

Zelda will get priority from me. I managed to take down Windwaker in a week, do hopefully I can do the same. Mario will get the next priority.

Picked up Wind Waker on saturday. Played it until the battery ran low on the gamepad. Such a great game.

Yeah, a majority from the last week. With the release of the Zelda bundle and price cut it managed to sell 94% more last week (worldwide) than the week prior, which was also up.
Curious to see if it sustains through the holidays or if it's a temporary bump.

Awwww...! I was excited about Sonic: Lost World, but the reviews thus far have been pretty brutal.

On a side note, I recently picked up Sonic Generations on 360. That's a pretty damn good Sonic game.

The left stick on my original gamepad isn't working right. Moving it in the down direction doesn't register, most of the time. The first Nintendo controller that I've had problems with, and of course it's the most expensive 
I use my Wii U enough that if I send the gamepad in for repairs, it would definitely be missed. If they really add in dual gamepad support at some point, I'll be all set. If not, I'll just have a backup.
