Wii U, Nintendo’s Next Generation Console-Try It Out!
My family could be the poster child for video game systems, always first in line to get the latest and greatest release, so they’re going to be super excited about getting to try out the new Wii U at a cool preview event coming to Atlanta in a couple weeks. It’s the Wii U Experience and it will give fans an exclusive sneak peek into the next generation of gameplay.
Think your family will want to be part of that fun, too? We can get you in the door to this invite-only shindig. We have codes to invite five winners (with three guests each) to check out the new Wii U when it makes its way to Atlanta August 2-5th. The event is happening in Atlanta and you can pick the time/day from the 2nd to the 5th that works best for you.
Just leave a comment below about your favorite Wii game. We’ll draw five winners at random on midnight EST July 30th. That only leaves a few days, so comment now!

Hi!
I’ve been a huge fan of Nintendo since I first played Super Mario Bros. in 1986, and I’ve owned every console that they’ve made since then, except for the Virtual Boy. There are a lot of great games on the Wii, but if I had to choose one game to represent the console, it would have to be The legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
Skyward Sword redefined what a Zelda game could be by emphasizing a stylish and cinematic approach to the game’s cutscenes in order to tell a more cohesive story. The unique art style combined with the powerful orchestrated soundtrack helped to deliver a beautiful and believable world for gamers to immerse themselves in.
If you ask me, though, Skyward Sword’s greatest contribution to the Zelda series was the addition of revolutionary motion controls. Combat was no longer based on a series of timed button presses. Instead, gamers wielded the Wii remote like they would a real sword, and enemies responded with the intelligence and cunning of a real-life opponent.
I could go on and on about Skyward Sword. It’s truly one of the best video games that I’ve ever played, and a shining example of why I <3 Nintendo!

We love Super Mario!

I have always been a Nintendo geek, so many original IPs its hard to choose which one I love the most… but if I could only play one game from Big N, I don’t know if any one game could give you a better experience than the Legend Of Zelda: The Orcarina of Time. Roaming Hyrule, conquering dungeons, and meeting friends all along the way… by far the best game I’ve ever played.

Wii play!
July 30, 2012 @ 1:58 am
Definitely skyward sword. It combines the lighthearted feel of wind waker with the more serious, in depth story of Twilight Princess perfectly, and gives a great origin to the series that could not be better.
July 30, 2012 @ 2:55 pm
Anything and everything Zelda and Mario.
July 31, 2012 @ 12:13 am
Every nintendo made game on the wii is awesome but if i had to choose one it would be Super smash bros brawl, because its all the awesome nintendo characters in one game!
July 31, 2012 @ 12:52 am
Gotta go with Resident Evil 4.
July 31, 2012 @ 12:58 am
