Fanboy article is fanboyish. Loved the part about the lackluster launch lineup.

It is in the eye of the beholder. I am one of those who see the lineup lackluster at best. There is only few games which I would be interested in.

Assassins creed 3

Black ops 2

And then few games I already own.  I don't know much about wii u:s online system, but I am willing to bet that there won't be as many gamers as on 360 or pc. Assassins creed might be a reason to get the console, but then again, it is available on pc/360. Tekken might be interesting too, but that is also available on other platforms. Other than those games, there is nothing for me.


So get your games elsewhere. Nintendo can not cater to every single person on earth. If you only like neckstabshooters the fpsbox is the superior choice for sure. No contest. People with a broader interest in games will probably not call the launch lineup lackluster.

So what goes in to your neckstabshooter genre, everything where you use a weapon or what?

Other than shooters and action games I also like sports games, racers, strategy games, rpg:s at least. That isn't broad enough?  I guess not.


Wii U gets all the same sports games the other consoles get. A realistic racer is missing right now but Project Cars is announced. Strategy games are a rarity on every console, so I don't see how someone would choose another console on that premise. Sources confirmed already that the touch screen would work very well for strategy games. A big, meaty RPG is also mssing as of right now but it's confirmed that Monolith Soft is working on a Wii U game. ALso, RPG's are almost never represent in a launch lineup. At least I can't think of one.

I see only Fifa on the launch lineup, that is not getting all the same sports games. If you are talking about Wii U getting all the same sports games lets say before the end of the year, please prove it.

After checking the fourth time, I finally noticed that there really is a racer on the launch lineup. Somehow that has slipped my sight, must be due the automatic spam filtering.

You were the one who spoke about broader interest in games, I merely informed you of my favourite genres. Still waiting for your explanation of that neckstabshooter-genre.
