The Wii U is looking so sweet. Unfortunately, I'd have to buy a TV for it, and I'm not sure I can justify that expense without knowing whether or not the Wii U can sustain my interest for a long period of time.


That makes no sense. All Wii U games can be played on in high quality on the gamepad. You honestly don't even need a TV.

I have no TV. Zero.

While it would be technically possible for me to play on a gamepad, I'm not sure that would be the best experience.

Then once again, that would make the Wii U the best option for you.

This article doesn't really help me decide between the ~10 games I really like from the launch lineup.



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

I'm not deciding between the WiiU and other consoles. I'm deciding between WiiU, or no console at all.

The Wii U has Tvii as well. Also, you can get HD tvs pretty cheap on Ebay. You can get a nice 720p flat screen about 100-150 bucks.

I'm debating on whether to get a new 1080p LED TV to replace my 1080i max HD CRT TV or whether to get a 1080p widescreen monitor. 19" 5'4 monitor.

I would say avoid everything from EA and Assassin's Creed 3. You can't lose that way.


Why avoid assassins creed 3? Its the best version in my opinion.

Dunno if theres graphical differences, but just the feature of having the map in the controller instead of having to interrupt the game a million times to pull it up makes it the best version in my view.

I want Mario and ZombiU day one. Good point about Tank Tank Tank. It does look like a lot of fun. I will pick it up in the January sales.

Yes, tell that to every person who purchases a Wii-U so third parties can stop supporting the system with future games, good idea /l0l.


So if EA doesn't support it, then all other third party going to jump ship out of sadness that they won't be ablet compete against EA's big name titles anymore?

Yeah unless you really want another "Wii" game library riddled with Just Dance games and poorly developed ports of other games (i.e. Call of Duty).

The sales of these games will possibly decide the fate of how future games will be released/developed or if any will be released by third parties and their distributors to the Wii-U.


I don't see it. EA isn't the king of 3rd party devs. the Wii U is still getting much support from Ubisoft and all the games they've announced seem good exept AC3.

Why, it looks like it is going to be solid


Because the devs(AC3 specifically) themselve have made it clear that they aren't really concerened with the Nintendo fanbas. They stated that the game will be missing features and they have shown no interest in fixing the problem.

This sounds very dubious. You have a source for it? All i hear is that it wont have the pre-order bonuses... but im sure they will be available on the Wii U. If not at launch a bit later. Its incredibly dumb to miss on the best version cause you're missing one extra mission. A mission is 15m of gameplay at best, the map function stremlines and makes your whole experience playing the game better from beggining to end.

Haven't bought a football game since I Purchased my gamecube and got QB club 2002. I'm a big football fan and was looking forward too getting Madden on the Wii U. How disappointing,they aren't even using their new engine on the Wii U version. Does anybody know why they chose not too?

I'm going to get Nintendoland, New Super mario bros U, Raymen, and ZombiU.
