But now, it's like: "Mmm, let's see what are the other choices". I love Ninty so much because these are games we grew up with. Who doesn't love Mario, Metroid, Donkey Kong or Zelda? Hell, even Pokémon!!. But this formula has been cooked and recooked over and over again. This seem to be working for them, as new generations grow to love them. But what about the old ones who have seen it all. Nintendo is about magic, making games socially playable but there seems to miss a formula for me to make it like it more. For the first time in my whole live, I thought of buying a PS3 because of the games, I've seen some incredible games like Metal Gear, Mass Effect, God of War.. Games that as developers say can't be run on a Nintendo console. But as my brother picked, the Wii U won and got Black Ops II and Mass Effect 3. have you ever guys, especially Mario fans, thought of it just for a glimpse? Did I make a great choice? Let me know. |
I think, in the end, your brother made the right choice because, though Mario may be recooked, his 3D iterations are always mind-blowing. I have not been let down once, not once. Zelda has been not as satisfying lately, but the hope exists that the U one will be epic just like we've always wanted. There are also great exclusives on the U that you will never find on the other two.
Having said that, if you're not a Mario, Zelda or Metroid fan, and are not a fan of more casual games, then I don't see much reason to get the U honestly, unless you're into the media center, e-shop stuff, but apparently Ninty dropped the ball on that (I heard it's pretty sluggish).
So I think you need to do some soul searching and ask yourself, as a Nintendo fan, why God of War is more interesting to you than Mario Galaxy, and wonder if Nintendo will steer the franchise in a direction you prefer.
