Super Mario RPG: Legend of the seven stars sequel. Nothing else will make me buy one.

To be honest I'm already considering buying one later this year instead of an XBOX One (Although eventually I'll have all three I reckon), but there's a few things putting me off at the mo...

- The HDD seems really small compared to the PS4/XBOX One, I'd like to see a new model with a much bigger HDD.

- I'm not a fan of the Wii U tablet, it feels awkward in my hands, and it also has a pretty short battery life, and apparently you can only charge it from the mains, which is a disadvantage really... I suppose I could get used to the feel of it, but meh.

- So far there are very few titles that appeal to me, and most that do, aren't even released yet, lol... infact, Nintendo rarely have any luck when it comes to software that interests me on their home consoles... their handhelds on the other hand always have a great selection of games, I'm a huge JRPG fan, and it seems Playstation is always the home console of choice for the genre since the PS1 days.

- The price at the moment, if they could release a new model with a bigger HDD for around £150 tomorrow, I'd happily purchase it with Wind Waker HD, and wait until Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros. both release, lol

The HDD issue - I actually think it is enough since you are not forced to install games, it can be a bit of a bitch if you like DLC though. To me PS4/XBOX ONE isn't enough as you are forced to install 20gb+ games. I think overall they all need to boost their space.

I agree the control pad could use better battery life. 



 

 

Cheaper price tag, and new IP's.



I was walking down along the street and I heard this voice saying, "Good evening, Mr. Dowd." Well, I turned around and here was this big six-foot rabbit leaning up against a lamp-post. Well, I thought nothing of that because when you've lived in a town as long as I've lived in this one, you get used to the fact that everybody knows your name.

I have one.

The answer: Kids and a wife who enjoy Mario games.



Time. I don't think I have the time to play two consoles.

A Pokemon MMO like legit, Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros.

So it's gonna happen sometime in future



I definitely plan on getting a Wii U down the line, as it does have some games I would like to play. But, it's going to be at least another 2 years before I do. This year I'm saving up for a PS4. For the Wii U, it will have to drop to $149 before I consider it low enough to be my 2nd console this gen. Hopefully, by then they will have a larger HDD, as well.



Got one at launch so I'm good and I like it a lot. Just ps4, ps3 take up more of my time, just because I like them more.



Make it compatible with a ps4 or xb1 controller. ..

hate all the gimmicky controllers... I had every nintendo system until the Wii. After that it pained me to not play Metroid...

at the lower price I dont mind that it isnt as powerful as its competitors



I don't think its worth the price right now at all so a price drop to $200 or less. I don't like many of nin ip's either so there's that. I mainly just like smash, metroid, and something else I forgot lol.
