Forums - Nintendo Discussion - 5 Reasons To Buy A Wii U

I'm happy about Wii U, simply because things can't get worse... In a good way. Even if the Wii U only sells a bit more than the Gamecube, it'll be remembered by being an underrated and undersold yet great console with some unique games and those things you named on this list. You know that situation where people in general is mean towards someone in particular yet that person is actually good, just misunderstood and you like him/her? Well, that's how I feel about Wii U.

Kind of lol'd at the CoD point. But Miiverse as a whole is probably the most positive online community out there.

You would be surprised if you checked miiverse in certain communities.



Made my own list, hope you don't mind.

1) Wonderful 101
2) Super Mario 3D World
3) Pikmin 3
4) Wind Waker HD
5) Upcoming Nintendo games (Even one with blood, guns, realistic graphics and FMV, now that's evolution)



I really think the Gamepad as a second screen just isn't understood well when playing multiplayer. We have both the PS3 and the WiiU and COD is far preferred on WiiU because of the ability to have the entire screen to yourself. No matter how big the screen, having something occur that isn't you on it at the same time is a distraction.

Another reason is just the ability to switch game play to the Gamepad. I walk into a room ready to watch something on the 65 inch screen, there's no argument. A few clicks and everything is still good to go in most cases for anyone using the WiiU.



Great points. Personally my top five reasons for getting a Wii U are
1) SSB4
2) SSB4 off screen play
3) SSB4 better online (hopefully)
4) SSB4 in HD
5) Mario Kart 8
