@Jaysonguy: ...Really? I personally found the 1st Paper Mario to be the best, but I liked all of them minus Sticker

I'd love another Paper Mario! Pleaseeee not like the 3DS one though...

I'm having a similar problem :( My posts don't show up in the thread, BUT they do on my profile...not sure what's going on...

I bought my Wii U when Wind Waker HD was released. It was quite a dry spell back then...but now, I have stacked up more games than I can finish playing! The recent releases of exclusives have really made this system (finally) worth it! And I honestly was surprised at how amazing and clean the graphics that Nintendo pulled out of the Wii U was, when I got Mario Kart 8. If you love Nintendo's exclusive IP, the system is well worth it. If you're looking for 3rd party, you'll be sorely disappointed.

Assuming you enjoy Nintendo's 1st party software, the Wii U is probably the system with the most value currently, with the top notch quality in games that Nintendo releases. Also extremely excited for 2015: Zelda WiiU, Starfox, Yoshi, Kirby, Splatoon, etc.

I honestly have yet to understand why people want consoles to be able to run Youtube, Netflix, and all that stuff when their computer is right next to them. I buy a game console, to play games. And that is exactly what Nintendo delivers with their high quality software.

Twilight Princess is my personal favorite in the franchise. I've played both GC and Wii version, and have actually found the Wii version a much smoother and overall superior experience. It's probably just my personal preference, but the wii mote actually felt quite intuitive to use, especially with weapons that needed aim. Widescreen is always a plus as well.

The dungeons are fantastic in TP. I personally enjoyed the wolf form, it added an extra layer of thinking needed since there were elements that could only be done in wolf form. Apparently, TP has a slow start, though I honestly didn't notice it. Perhaps I've played the game too many times...

All Zelda games can be played individually and in what ever order you please :)

There is an official timeline (as posted above), but few of the games are actually connected as direct sequels. Even as direct sequels though, knowledge of other Zelda stories isn't really necessary to complete another Zelda game, since Nintendo designs gameplay first, story later I think.
