Forums - Gaming Discussion - Time: 13 Reasons I’d Still Pick Nintendo’s Wii U Over the PS4 and Xbox One

hated_individual on 26 November 2014

A year ago, the argument over which game console to buy went something like this: The PlayStation 4 and Xbox One were shiny black spec-troves of next-gen performance assurances glossed with wishful gameplay hypotheticals wrapped around the reality of comparably anemic launch titles, whereas the Wii U had Super Mario 3D World, LEGO City Undercover, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Pikmin 3 and The Wonderful 101. The best PS4/X1 launch game, Assassin’s Creed IV: Black Flag, was on the Wii U, too, and so the choice seemed obvious, at least through December 2013.

Time also picked a mobile game for their top game of 2014. I'm sure you agree with that?

Pretty bias opinionated piece... Ammibos as a reason? Nintendo doesn't need 3rd party like MS and Sony? They are in the position they are in now, because of no 3rd party.... 

Overall, a lot of that piece is pretty subjective. The Wii U to me, is a console FOR Nintendo gamers and no one else. Not saying that's bad, but it doesn't have that mass appeal.

Them reasons though.....

Well, the main reason why I have a wiiU over the other ones is cause I have a PC and the first party games, for the most part, don't interest me enough to spend $400 (+$60 per year if I want the "full games" of any that have multiplayer) paying for the x1/ps4.. But, if someone likes third party games and they don't have a PC, then I can certainly see why they would choose a ps4/x1 over a wiiU

Its all a matter of opinions and situations

How is it for Nintendo fans only?

Fun and polished games are not for every gamer...?
