WII U!!!

OK, quick updates: I am currently working on a couple of videos (one of which is uploading as we speak) and I realized I haven't updated my blog either.

My sister has recently taken up archery, and it's been decided that she needs a Link outfit to wear when using her bow. Basically, this, sans violin:

(Yes, that's Lindsey Stirling. She made THIS.)

In other game related news, I finally got to play some Wii U stuffs. And it has replaced the PlayStation 4 as "New Gaming Console I Want Most" (this is a real thing, I'm sure of it). My brother picked it up earlier in the week. He told me that he found one on sale with New Super Mario Bros. Wii U and New Super Luigi U, and how he nearly had to be pried out of the store with a crowbar. I immediately ordered him to return to the store and buy it at once, FOR GREAT JUSTICE. After much arm-twisting (read: NONE AT ALL), he did exactly that, and for less than the price of a PS4, he got the deluxe Wii U (32 GB memory) and 6 games (yes, he added a few on). He then declared that he and his girlfriend would bring it over that week,because GREAT JUSTICE.

And it was a blast. We played some Nintendo Land, which is a collection of fun minigames. One which involved using the tablet to control 2 characters at once. That was pretty interesting.

Following that with Mario Kart 8, we began a romp through the game's various tracks, old and new. Mario Kart never seems to get old. He managed to win most of the races. I came away with one victory, in Dry Dry Desert from the GameCube version, which is not only one of my best tracks, but one of his worst. We had a really good replay after one race, but alas, we neglected to set up the wifi and were unable to save it for posterity. Basically, he finished the race by ramping off another vehicle.

It was then on to the game with the overly long name,New Super Mario Bros. Wii U. Which could probably be called Super Mario Bros. 3 3. Or 4, I'm not sure which. Anyway, in an odd twist, I (the older brother) played younger brother Luigi while he played Mario. His girlfriend took the tablet to manipulate the level (YES, THIS IS AN AWESOME FEATURE). While there were times we seemed really in sync, alas, we did run into some trouble and hilarity ensued. If only there were more time in the day. Then we could punch more airships (apparently you can destroy airships by punching them a lot. Get the game, you'll see what I mean).
