Despite what some may think, I've never been a big Nintendo fan. Don't care much for the major Nintendo series (3D Mario, Zelda, Metroid, Starfox, Donkey Kong). 

 I am a big Wii fan though.

I'm not a WiiU fan.

If WiiU had been an improvement and enhance of everything that made Wii great - HD, better online, enhanced motion controls (no more calibrating...), improved Miis, an innovative Wii ____ title, I'd be thrilled. I fell in love with how Wii made you feel more immersed in the game. Like you were playing tennis in Wii Sports or golf in Tiger Woods or beating the snot out of people in Godfather or actually aiming and shooting in Goldeneye, or slicing them to bits in Red Steel 2.

If you told me I could play AC3 or ME3 with enhanced WM+ and IR aiming and Nintendo made a bold new Wii___ title (I dunno, Wii Racing with places, boats, cars, horses etc for example) I'd buy WiiU day one and those titles (and Batman and ZombiiU and maybe Lego City) day one. I'd be it's biggest fan.

But WM+ is been cast aside for the gamepad. I hate dual analog aiming, and all the buttons. It's a idelogical course reversal from Wii and if you look at the success Apple has had with simplicity (ipads/pods/phones have one, count it one, button) they are going in the wrong direction. WiiU should have been the essence of the Wii realized in it's full potential. Similar, better, more elegant. Instead WiiU looks like a horrid compromise (between casual/core) no one wanted.

Man I am the complete opposite. I actually like the idea behind it and I do love that they are pushing motion gaming to the side on this, IMHO thats where it belongs, it should have never been the forefront, becasue their are simply too many games that will not work properly with that kind of controller or doesnt really add anything to the experience.(the entire fighting game genre for example). This is a compromise im glad they made. Thats why i like the Move approach and to a lesser extent MS. Here is our motion device, we wont make you buy it and we wont make too much games that depend on it(cause frankly most of those games are bad IMHO) It'll be used with games that might actually add to it or at the very least the games will be good already and if you wanna play another way you can(KZ3, Infamous2, etc.)
