Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Who is NOT Buying WiiU? And Why?

not buying it, honestly before the conference i thought about it a couple of times, but after i was very unimpressed. thing is Nintendo's first party games dont interest me one bit, they also seem to treat everyone like they are a 12 year old. honestly even there approach with the OS seems targeted to kids. "create your own Mii!!!" you know what nintendo im not f#*king 13.... there focus on "Mii" and that general style of nintendo land just puts me off, A lot!! everything feels dumbed down. nintendo im an adult, i like to be treated as one.

I'll definitely buy a Wii U down the road but that won't be because of third party titles or 2D Mario games.

I want my Zelda and my 3D Mario.



no buy

it can play BO2 in 1080 @ 60fps and beyoneta 2 is exclusive, big deal

i dont like the controller the hw specs arent impressive and nintendo has a history of only strong starts, the other two manufactures have consistence support throughout a gens cycle

games suck (for me) currently and i dont see any new AAA ip's coming from nintendo anytime soon.



Me. Lack of games that I care for.

I won't buy one, I'll wait for PS4. I don't like the style of Nintendo games. And third party games, I can play them on PS3.

After the recent hyped Nintendo conference on the WiiU many peoples opinion about the system changed, including mine. It went from a no-buy to a definitely buy at some point.

What about the rest of you...is anyone still NOT gonna buy the WiiU? If so why? And what do you need Nintendo to do for you to buy it? 


I'm not going to buy it, yet. I'll get it down the line when the games I want come out.

I've bought every Nintendo system for the same reason. Nintendo's main franchises. When the 3D Mario, Zelda, or Metroid hit I'll buy a Wii U. But even NSMBU isn't enough to get me to spend $350 plus more for the game. By the time the games I want come out it will probably be a lot cheap to compete with the full next gen consoles anyway. I care even less about the touch screen controler than I did about the motion controls of the Wii, and that's saying a lot becuase I still don't like motion controls. There's no reason for me to spend any money at launch.

When Nintendo gives me a reason I'll be happy to play my favorite games again.



too costly for what it is, most of the big games are on ps360 anyway so no need to upgrade. il be waiting for ps4 720 as only them 2 consoles will be driving game development



...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

PSN: Skeeuk - XBL: SkeeUK - PC: Skeeuk

I control my own destiny....don't underestimate the power of the force. 

I want to know why people may not want to buy it after that great press conference & after the price is less than I expected. 

You came into this knowing what the answers would be. We all did.



I will wait for atleast two years to decide weather i would buy the console or not. Three to buy it if i choose to do so. Its too early to tell whether the console is of anyone's preference or not
