The next year. I am not ready to upgrade next year. With the Wii I was ready in 2011. Here there still has not been that game that made me completely I satisfied with my Wii u. Hopefully xenoblade x and Zelda does that. After that horrible Wii u drought and their slowness with hd games waiting a year sounds about right.
Luckily the ps4 is in the place the PS3 is when I got that so my next system is that.

In any case I chose Never because nintendo consoles have been a poor choice for general entertainment for years now. I used to get all brands but from the wii generation, Nintendo Stopped caring about parity as the wii's games looked like Game cube games. That was the begininng of the end in third party support. And I grow tired of Nintendo's rinse and repeat reahashing of their old games. The same thing happened with the wii u, but it's far wose. a console that's support has been dropped in such a short time and a new one released in the middle of a generation has doom written all over it. Even if they manage a system more powerful than the ps4 and regain the 3rd party support they were lacking, I'd consider it a dead investment. For one thing, I believe I have bought my last game console. With each generation it feels more and more of a waste to get a console over a pc. I don't know how else to say it, but I honestly don't see it being a worthwhile investment. |
That's my point though. It's far too soon to say whether it's going to be a worth while investment or not. We know nothing about it.
As for the PC thing, I actually went the complete opposite direction as you. I found keeping up with PC gaming became far more expensive than it's worth. Gotta upgrade the GPU every couple years just to be able to play the newer games reasonibly, or at all in some cases, plus upgrade the RAM. Every 5 years or so you pretty much need to rebuild a brand new gaming PC from the MOBO up. The other option is to go all out on a high end gaming system that will likely set you back 2000-3000 bucks but should have you set for quite a while. In the end I ended up spending far more on my gaming PC than I did on the games I played on it. Sure you can make a very basic gaming PC for pretty cheap, slightly more than a console, but it won't have the longivity either, then you fall into the nearly constant upgrading. That's my experience with PC gaming anyway. I was very heavy into PC gaming for the better part of 20 years, that's why I have happily fallen back to console gaming lol.
Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.
Day one for me, but if they fuck up again for the last time...

this is alot shovelware and if they increase the handhelds hardware on wii us level they wont be able to put that many good titles on handheld as they do know. nintendo is just one publisher. they cant. Nintendos ead teams are 50-100 men strong. their biggest project was zelda skyward sword with 120 ppl involved. on games like the division or star citizen 400-600 people are working on. nintendo cant compete on this level. |
Just because u don't personally like them doesn't make them shovelware, there are many different demographics outside of the 13-35 year old male audience that Xbox/Playstation cater to. Kids, females, families are audiences that Nintendo aims for, games like Happy Home Designer or Art Academy may seem like shovelware to u but to a 9 year old girl, they may be the best games around, same goes for something like Pokémon Rumble World or Little Battlers for a 6 year old boy, then u also have things like Super Mario Maker that may appeal to a 20-something female or Majora's Mask 3D & Xenobalde X that appeals to a 30 year old male, games like Mario Party & Splatoon that can be enjoyed by the whole family playing together.
Nintendo wouldn't have sold 60+ million units of hardware so far this generation if their games were shovelware.

That's a shame to hear, but as with any system, I think you are missing out on a whole lot of great games, maybe you just need to be less picky about what 'kind' of game you play. Some are really great. I can think of about 10 must buys on the Wii U. |
I'm not picky. I've played most of what Wii U offers. Maybe I'm no more into most of the games Nintendo develops or maybe their Wii games were way better. But I'll make a list.
NSMB U: The worst disappointment on Wii U, it had almost nothing new and it felt the same as NSMB Wii and NSMB 2.
Nintendo Land: Not interested in playing.
Pikmin 3: Didn't like Pikmin 1 and 2, so passed this one.
W101: Not interested in playing.
SM3DW: A great game, but not a must-have.
DKC: TF: The best 2D platformer of this gen. It was what I expected out of NSMB U. A must-buy.
MK8: A fun game but ridiculous and lacking the competitive spirit of other racing games. A gorgeous game and definitely fun but shallow and doesn't require real skills. Fun but not a must-buy.
Hyrule Warriors: Hate Dynasty Warriors. Hate Hyrule Warriors.
Bayonetta 2: A really fun hack n slash game that lived up to the hype. A must-buy.
SSB U: A really fun fighter with tons of fan service. A must-buy.
Kirby And The Rainbow Curse: Not interested in playing.
Mario Party 10: Not interested in playing.
Splatoon: I might buy this when it has more content but the rest of the year has more important games to me.
It won't launch in 2016 but if it does, I won't buy it or any other Nintendo console.

they sold because of their good games. Pokemon, mario/mario kart, smash, zelda, xenoblade.
I doubt home designer will sell any systems, like 80% of games in your list.

I guarantee Happy Home Designer sells over 1 million. But anyway, not every game is meant to be a system seller. Most games are support titles, games u get once u already own the system. Animal Crossing on 3DS is on track to sell 10 million, it was a system seller, u don't think some of the people who are interested in Animal Crossing may also be interested in Happy Home Designer?
I'm sure 80% of Xbox One/Playstation 4 releases aren't individually system sellers either.

I've never been disappointed with a Nintendo system. Why wouldn't I? The day that Nintendo robs me with a shitty system, I'll stop blindly purchasing their systems. But so far, I have a 100% satisfaction ratio with them on their hardware. |
I wouldn't call the Wii-U or Wii shitty but when it comes to the hardware robbing the devoted Nintendo fan is exactly what they have been doing for these past two generations. Wii was a slightly spect up Gamecube for $250 and was succesfull thanks to the motion control hype. With Wii-U Nintendo again produced an underpowered and even more expensive system, purely in the hope of scoring the interest of casuals once again. These decisions were against the interests of the tradittional Nintendo gamer. If any it's comparable with what Microsoft did by bundling Kinect with every Xbox One at first. It made the system unnecessarily expensive for people who were not interested in motion controll.
Again i'm talking hardware here, game wise Nintendo has delivered some great titles. Though lately even on that front they seem to be losing touch with their fan base(new metroid game).
I'm going to pretend it's not a hybrid and say whenever Mario Kart or a different Mario game comes out for it. (That's not a sport-themed Mario game...)
If it's a hybrid I don't know when because I despise that idea.
