Okay, here we go. I've not owned a nintendo console besides the wii, I've tried some of their other systems, but never owned them. And I'm on the fence about buying a Wii U. So I have one request: Nintendo fans, convince me! Post everything that might help me decide, games, trailers, upcoming stuff, or just general history that proves that it will be a good purchase. Try your best, you might bring another Wii U owner aboard!


Do u like Nintendo franchises like Mario, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, Zelda, Metroid, Kirby, Fire Emblem, Star Fox, Wii Series?

If yes, get a Wii U. If no, dont get a Wii U.

Wii U is just like the previous 3 Nintendo consoles, if u like Nintendo first party games then its worth it but if u dont then its not, simple as that.


From the OP: "I've not owned a nintendo console besides the wii, I've tried some of their other systems, but never owned them. "
and
"The new Zelda has me SUPER HYPED."

I think you need to be more helpful than that.


Why would he need more help? He owned the Wii U's predeccessor and has played other previous consoles by them, I would assume anyone who has owned/played Nintendo consoles has also owned/played Nintendo games. If his experience with them was positive he should get a Wii U, if his experience with them was negative then he shouldn't buy a Wii U.


To be honest even though I owned, the Wii II didn't use it all that much. I was a bit of a "hype buyer". My experience soo far with Nintendo systems has been good, it's just that my experience so far is quite low.

Third place. As in three. As in Half Life 3. Half Life 3 confirmed as a Wii U exclusive.

Glad to see you already picked up on the exclusive jokes. But only WIi U owners are aloud to make that joke so I guess to back yourself in a corner and now have to buy the console. Or else this game won't happen.


if that game were to happen, the Wii U would win the console wars. They could cancel all upcoming games for it, but it would still sell like crazy.

instant on to the main menu, the gamepad is amazing you can roll a joint on the screen while playing, most of the games are cheap as chips ,loads for under a tenner. I've had something to play games on since before zx spectrum 48k and this has some great games out now, i'm sure you've seen the future games. admit it you will get one sooner or later .

actually you should read "professional reviews" as you put it. Reason being if they can convince you to buy one you will enjoy it far more than those reviews state because we know most "professional reviewers" hate Nintendo.

It's a good *secondary* console if you like Nintendo games and you can get one refurbed from Nintendo for $199.99 (32GB + Nintendo Land). The refurbed units are apparently new too and come with a 1 year warranty direct from Nintendo.

Then you can buy Mario Kart 8 this summer and get another free game with it using their eShop promotion.

Oh and in October you get Bayonetta + Bayonetta 2 together in one package.

Some good deals going on in the immediate future ... I would jump in now. There's a decent library of content now. 

$259.99 using the offer I suggested above effectively lands you Nintendo Land + Mario Kart 8 + your choice of Pikmin 3/Zelda: WWHD/NSMBU/Wii Party U.

PS4 - over 100 millions let's say 120m
Xbox One - 70m
Wii U - 25m

Vita - 15m if it will not get Final Fantasy Kingdoms Heart and Monster Hunter 20m otherwise
3DS - 80m

Well, if you like waking in the morning and having some toast, you should get one.
If you enjoy long walks on the beach, you should get one.
If you have between 3-9 cats, and only have one bedroom in your home, you should get one.
If you have a member of your family in a nursing home, you should get one.
If you think Leonardo was still in a dream at the end of Inception, you should get one.
If you look at the moon and wonder "If X=34 and Y is 9+X/2.3, why can't Z be 2?", you should get one.



Ask stefl1504 for a sig, even if you don't need one.
