There has been a lot of excitement concerning the Wii U here at Family Friendly Gaming. There has also been a lot of curiosity concerning NintendoLand. On paper this launch Wii U title sounds pretty arrogant. Nintendo wants their very own theme park.

The lovably grotesque Rabbids delve into tabletop territory in their latest misadventure. In a new twist, Rabbids Land frames its funky flavored mini-games within the confines of a traditional board game, aiming for a vibe that blends the feel of recent Mario Party outings with the look of a Trivial...

Nothing overly original; doesn't do as good of a job of showcasing the Wii U's power as it could have

When Wii launched way back in 2006, it did so with Wii Sports by its side. Whatever you might have thought about that game, your relatives probably liked it.
