Something about an average movie tie-in game from a year ago makes me think that might do poorly.

Has anyone had issues with the Wii U Gamepad not connecting with the console? Tonight when I turned it on, it gave me the message on the gamepad screen that I needed to get closer to the Wii U because it couldn't get a signal, yet I was 5 feet in front of it.
I tried unplugging the system and re-syncing the controller, but I'm still getting the message.
So my problem persisted and I called Nintendo. They said I'd need to send in both the system and gamepad so they could determine specifically what the problem was.
The good news is that they give you a pre-paid shipping label and after the console is repaired (one to two week turn around) and sent back, the one year warranty starts over, so good on them for that.
The bad news is you're required to pack it yourself, so box, bubble wrap, peanuts etc are the customers responsibility.
Overall the phone call was a painless process. I'm sad I'm going to miss the F-Zero release on the 20th.

Free downloadable Rayman Legends challenge mode with online leaderboards coming in April: https://www.facebook.com/photo.php?v=10151460128936211
My rage against Ubisoft is subsided for now, but the rest of the internet is being less kind. Lot's whining and *****ing still going on.

F-Zero was released to the virtual console today, get it while it's $0.30!!!
Unfortunately, it looks like garbage on the gamepad. Still fun though, and looks fine on the TV!

They are whining because the game is done. Just give us the ****ing game. Ridiculous.
BTW, Rayman as a launch title is one of the reasons I bought a WiiU on Day 1. Sooo... I'm a little upset.

What's sad is I will probably play this more than the two games I have that are made for wii U.
Today is all about demos. If you've wanted to see what the whole "Monster Hunter" sensation is about, today you can download demos of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate on both Wii U and 3DS. There are also demos of Trine 2 on Wii U and Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on 3DS.

Trine 2 is a blast btw. Highly recommend that one.

Downloaded F-zero today. I was surprised on how basic the first game was. Actually feels like a dumbed-down version of Mario Kart for the SNES.
But 30 cents can't be beat.
Kinda sucks the gamepad screen is kinda smushed too. Why would they do that?

F-Zero was even a launch title wasn't it? I downloaded it yesterday as well. I can't wait for them to throw up RC Pro AM. I could play that game for hours.
Great list of upcoming games. I will get them all. Although Kirby or Yoshi don't really interest me.
March – Punch Out!! Featuring Mr. Dream (NES)
April – Kirby’s Adventure (NES)
May – Super Metroid (SNES)
June – Yoshi / Mario & Yoshi (NES)
July – Donkey Kong (NES)

Kirby's Adventure is actually a very good platformer from very late in the NES cycle. A very good title.

The drought may be over next week: Lego City Undercover, Monster Hunter, Need For Speed Most Wanted, and Punch Out should all hit the Wii U.
Before the peanut gallery starts screaming "poooooooorrrrrrtttttt!!!!!" about NFS, Criterion has said they've gone through a lot of trouble to make this Wii U version unique. I guess there is off-TV play as well as a "co-pilot" mode where one person could drive using a Wii Remote while the co-pilot changes the environment using the gamepad. Also, this is supposed to be the first third party game to feature "full Miiverse integration", whatever that means.
