Nintendo Land is not Wii U's Wii Sports

I just played a bunch of Nintendo Land games and I firmly disagree with the OP. Nintendo Land if bundled with the Wii U will have a similar effect and a much more solid one than Wii Sports. The games are better and the new controller does provide a new "wow" factor. The games are intuitive and at the least interactive physically giving the game a solid feel that helped separated motion controls from traditional ones. It has multiplayer games, ones using their big name IPs. I see Nintendo Land being the ultimate mini game collection for the Wii U and it will do wonders for the console if they bundle it in. That ninja star game alone would bring in the "casuals".

That's great, Chark.  Does it persuade you to buy one?

I'm thinking about it. I was really dissapointed with the Wii but have still considered getting one to play some games I missed out on. It's been hard catching up to what I missed this gen only having a PS3 for less than two years and now a Vita. I don't know when I will be buying a next gen home console, and I wouldn't get a Wii U until seeing what Sony and Microsoft have to offer (nix Microsoft unless they eliminate XBL gold). Wii U is really shapping up to be a much better console for the traditional gamer, even with its new gamepad the console has good graphics, controls, and the gamepad itself is a better device than the Wii mote ever was. That and the pro controller is a better option.The Wii U is backwards compatible too.

I personally would skip Nintendo Land if it wasn't included and just go straight for Zombie U, now that's a game! For the casual feels like a Wii but better and Nintendo shouldn't be over complicating its machine to discourage them through a learning curve. I think. I wasn't able to use the UI, just some games.
