I am a bit late to the Wii U party, mainly because it was released not long after I acquired Elsie, my original Wii console. But, the time has come to upgrade and while on vacation in Everett Washington, I got it!

Say hello to Wilf, my new Wii U system. The name comes from the dog named Wilf, from an obscure British kids cartoon called "Wilf, the Witch's Dog". I chose the name since at the time I reserved it, the Wii U gamepad seemed like magic to me.
Now, it feels more like a gimmick than anything else, but there is nothing else like a Wii U gamepad. Well, there is Sony's method of controlling a PS4 with a Vita, but I digress...

So far, the only game I played is Zen Pinball 2, a wonderful eShop pinball simulator. The HD graphics are superb. I intend on giving NintendoLand a spin soon. I also want to play Super Mario 3D World, but I haven't played Super Mario 3D Land for 3DS. I also been getting through Yoshi's Island for SNES, so it will be a while before I can get to 3D World.

The namesake.

I love foxes, especially the one in my avatar.
