Great game. Battle mode with friends is invaluable. How fast it starts up makes it so convenient, in addition to how flexible this console is, allowing you to play at your computer desk while listening to videos, on the couch while someone is playing something else, in bed relaxing, or just on the TV. So undervalued. Get this stuff.

Had a great time playing this and at this value it's hard to pass up. Another Wii U gem. Once you get past the monotonous simple tasks that they call challenges, you get some good old times.
I was torn on this game and didn't think it was worth it. Then, at a store, I saw a kid playing it and having the time of his life. My friend decided on a whim to purchase it and we had many great times ahead of us.

If you like amiibo, these are great. Well made things. Good cat/dog toys if you want them destroyed. I would advise against that. I used my set as ornaments on the christmas tree. Was the greatest idea I've ever had.

This game is a masterpiece. I tried to replay the original, but the controls I just couldn't readjust to. This one have better controls, better camera and is a great use of the gamepad. Yes, you can also continue your adventure off screen. Must buy for Wii U owners. :)
