U.S. business and entertainment news website Business Insider’s editors say Wii U is the most fun they’ve ever had with console gaming. After trying several Wii U game demos, editor Dylon Love says his favorite game is Mario Chase, which is one of 12 Nintendo Land attractions.
“I’ve had relatively limited experience with console video games, so keep that in mind when I tell you the following: the Wii U is the most fun I’ve ever had playing games on a console hooked up to my TV.”
“I’m emphasizing fun. Not necessarily the best graphics (which are nevertheless great) or most in-depth storylines. Just loads and loads of unadulterated diversion.”

How much story could a minigame really have…
Though I agree the graphics of NintendoLand could be much MUCH better. Though, the Metroid attraction looks really nice.
No he said “which are nevertheless great.”
Somebody COMPLETELY missed the point of this article. . .
The only thing that looks like shit in Nintendo land is the ugly Mii’s
…and this is why Nintendo is the best at what they do. FUN. (not knocking the other companies)
thats Nintendo for you hahhhaha
In b4 comments about graphics
too late
Haha nice. Guess Mario dash is the first one to try once i get my chance.
That’s what I love about Nintendo games they are simply just a lot of fun.
Same. Gaming for me is a hobby. If its not FUN i dont really see a point!
exactly. 101% agree
I got to play a lot of Wii U games at the Los Angeles preview event, and the NIntendo Land games are really fun and addicting. I didn’t want to stop playing Mario Chase. The graphics looked pretty good for Nintendo Land as well, despite the fact that it’s really just basically Miis in a simplified background.
Rayman and the Wonderful 101 look spectacular, and I was really impressed by the gamepad’s screen. For Rayman, the small screen just popped with color.
My name is Walter White, and I approve this message.
MAD STACKS YO!
Sky high bitch!
Hahahahahaha nice picture where is malcoml? xD
And this is what the tons of rival fanboys constantly mocking Nintendo fail to grasp. Video game consoles weren’t created so that we can look at details in textures or to count the frame rate….they were created as an entertainment device. Therefore the primary aim is to have fun whilst playing…Nintendo succeeds because they have not forgotten this aim
(I am not implying in any way that fun games cannot be found on other consoles. Far from it)
You didn’t imply that at all; only an idiot [troll] would infer that from your statement. Anyway, I WHOLEHEARTEDLY agree with you. I couldn’t have said it better myself. . .
Unsurprising, games are supposed to be about fun. Yes, a story is good, the first time. Yes, graphcs are nice to look at, once. But gameplay is whats most important.
True Story
Yeh!! but his judgement on demo build graphics isn’t factual , lol. The wiiu will have slightly better graphics than what’s out there , we know this! but that’s not important as the controler and all that jazz!!
Trine 2 directors cut would have to be scaled down to work on the 360 and ps3 ??? that’s called better graphics. Rayman legends looking like visual sex on 2 screens at once ??? , that’s called better graphics.
Nintendo Land and NSMBU could look better though. After playing trine 2 I know for a fact they haven’t put full effort into the graphics of those games!
Shin’en have came out and said The wiiu is the most powerfull console right now. So yes the wiiu packs its awesome innovation and superb graphics :)
I dont care, i just want to play a game thats fun. The WiiU could have Wii graphics for all i care.
same
IMO, Nintendo land will appeal to the quick n easy distraction that Apps currently fill.
Rather than turn on an app for quick fun, pop in Nintendo land for some family/friend run & gun fun.
I think ‘fun’ is where it’s at and ‘fun’ is where Nintendo often prevails =)
Haha nicely put! :D
That is what counts in the end, isn’t it?
That’s right graphica aren’t everything. I read a review of Xenoblade Chronicles and the guy was bashing the game for the graphics, very pathetic. He said it should have only been on 360 or PS3 what a tool
Did this reviewer forgot that Xenoblade Chronicles is developed by Monolith Soft, who is a first-party developer of Nintendo?
Why in Dolphin emulator a game like Xenoblade looks hd? I have seen on YouTube and beyond beautiful! They need to remake it for wii U.
This piece was cogent, welt-writlen, and pithy.
I can’t wait to go to Best Buy after my classes today to try out one of the Demo stations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D
I forgot that Best Buy had Wii U Demo stations! Ill check it out during the weekend!
My Best Buy didn’t have them yet :( Oh well, i’ll be checking Best buy and GameStop to see when they get them.
That’s nice.
I’m about to go to Best Buy ater I walk my dog. I’m so excited..
Wii U is truly a FUN-tastic ass-kickin’, names takin’ gaming/social/entertainment console! I need to go directly to Best Buy right now!!!!!
In sure it is fun! I want to play it now.
How can I take someone who says that his favourite game is a minigame from Nintendoland serious… ?
Unless it’s the only game he has played, I find it a tad strange myself O_o
I think that means his favourite game from the available Wii U demos, not of all time.
Nobody does fun like Nintendo.
+2.5
SO damn ture :)
I wholeheartedly agree with you.
Nice :D
Wii U will catch on because it is fun, I hate the video game critics that look down on fun games they call casual. I loved Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort as much as any hardcore game I ever played. A lot of people are going to love Nintendo Land, I do hope it has more depth than Wii Sports, that game didn’t have enough content. Screw Xplay and Tim Turi from Gameinformer who are anti-Nintendo. They think video games have to be tailored to there interest only.
