This afternoon/early evening after getting out of work, I bought a pre-owned Wii U from my local GameStop, as well as a $35 eShop card, of which I bought the following Virtual Console titles:
*Super Mario World
*Super Mario Bros. (Although I already have this on my 2DS, I actually have somewhat of a better time playing this through the Wii U.)
*Super Mario 64 (Although I already have this for my N64, I got this one for the Wii U anyway in case I ever do give up my N64 (or the SM64 Game Pak save battery dies.)
The aforementioned Wii U turned out to have Mario Kart 8 pre-installed. Hopefully some time in the future when I get more money, I'll buy myself a Wiimote (hopefully also MotionPlus) and one of the Wii Sports series titles.
