I think people anticipating Bayonetta 2 will be just as disappointed as those that were anticipating Wonderful 101 The same team of people behind both games and while I thought Bayonetta was a cool action game, it was ultimately just a lot of button mashing and flashy visuals and just insane spectacle. That kind of thing is interesting when it is fresh, but would it really feel as good a 2nd time around? I still think Platinum Games best game was Vanquish.

To me the question would be what trio of games would make me buy a console.

I would say X insterests me alot.

Zelda U would interest me alot if it kept the visual style of the teaser trailer.

number 3 is still in the making.

X is definitely one one of upcoming Wii U games I'm looking forward to.  Loved the hell out of Xenoblade so I look forward to what Monolith Soft makes in the future.

Oh, oh! Also I need an account system unified with the 3DS and trophies. It's ridiculous Nintendo is still in 6th generation when it comes to this. As if PS360 haven't been out long enough...

I'm juggling too many games and too many consoles at the moment, so it would need to be something really special to convince me to get it now.

I guess I would get one next year if X turns out to be a 90+ meta game and it gets a 30% price cut.

I think most of rhe Wonderful 101 buyers liked the game.  For me, Bayonetta was one of the games that defined the generation.  I should be happy.  Can't speak for anyone else.  Oh, and Vanquish DID rock!

Despite all the negativity surrounding Wii U, i have found that a lot of their games feature heavily in my personal favourites list.
W101..breath of fresh air,never seen or played anything like it.
Zombi U...best true survival horror game since Resi remake on the Cube.
Mario 3D world.. on par with the galaxy games, simply perfect.
Pikmin 3..best entry in the series, looks gorgeous and has really good DLC
Wind waker HD..tied with Xenoblade as my all time fave game, now perfected on Wii U with lush visuals and gameplay tweaks
NSMBU..best entry in the series, looks great in HD and has Luigi U DLC.
Lego City Undercover..Best lego game ever made, a surprise hit and hopefully the start of a new franchise.
Rayman Legends..definitive version, great gamepad usage, platforming at its best.
All the above-mentioned are deffo reasons for getting a Wii U.

It was available on launch day, ZombiU. I bought the ZombiU bundle on day one and haven't been disappointed, even during the drought this year.

Like they are coming out so buy the console. Be like Sony and Microsoft fans, they support their console knowing great games are coming. Imagine if ever Nintendo fan though like the responses here then the Wii probably would have sold 500K units by now. Those kind of sales would probably lead to a discontinued console and no zelda, smash or mario kart. TO be fair and you are not going to like this, so prepare to flame. BUt Sony and MS fans support their consoles because their consoles have been and is getting supported. You CANNOT say the same for all of Ninty consoles. I mean support across the board 1st AND 3rd party. Hell even when PS3 was getting whupped it was still getting games, sure they werent exclusives and were shared with 360 but thats a hell of alot more than what Wii U is getting, its not even getting some of the multiplats from PS360 and those have been around for years, NVM the next gen ports. Outside of Watchdogs, I dont know what its getting next gen wise. OT. Buying a whole console for one game has always been foolish to me. I need about 3 games to even consider a purchase and honestly right now the only thing on WIi U that im interested in is Zelda and it better look close to that tech demo. Matter of fact ill just wait for that. I agree with you in that regard about the support. However I didn't want to bring up the fact if your console sells well then 3rd parties are more likely to support it. This  would stir up other old arguments such as 3rd parties don't try on Nintendo systems etc.. and arguments around weak hardware which allows 3rd parties to port games etc.. these forums had all this argued to death already. We already seen excuses on the forums for why people arn't buying games like COD ghost, poor frame rate = no buy. Hell PS4 had frame rate issues. Both versions got patches to fx these issues. COD ghosts runs pretty well for what the Wii U is hardware wise. However to be fair there are a few games which are total waste of time liek batman outsourced and being worst than the port. However BS excuses shouldn't be used on all games when a developer has put in effort. Note my comments only apply to people with one console brand in each gen not multi console owners who have options.  With scalable engines these days, there is no good reason for top publishers not to release games on WIi U, however the users must show support the games like you said otherwise they will not show interest similar to VITA, but even so VITA seems to at least be getting some decent games. Heres the thing though, those old arguments were never true about 3rd parties not trying, ever. They were just the rantings of Wii owners who were mad they werent getting GTA5, RE5, AC, etc. Either completly ignoring the fact those games couldnt be made for the Wii(not even close to as powerful as either PS3 or 360) or ignoring the different demographs that WIi had(sales support this, especially sales of Wii U multiplats) 3rd parties put the games on the WIi they thought would and did sell, pretty much your dancing, minigame exercise stuff. So 3rd parties supported the Wii alot anyone who says otherwise was just too cheap or too much of a fanboy to buy a non Ninty console or even PC. I disagree with the last paragraph, engines only play a small role, if the games arent going to sell on Wii U(and right now they really arent) then publishers have a great reason not to release games on Wii U.

Perhaps my choice of words was not well written. Engines can be scalable however as I said, developers won't invest the money to do it if they know they will not get enough sales to warrant it. If they knew a game that sells say 5million each on xbox one and ps4 could sell say 1million on Wii U, then they MAY invest the money into a more scalable engine optimised for the Wii U to port their games over as it would still bank them a nice little profit. However evidence to date has shown misreable sales and lost profit.
