The problem is that there's absolutely nothing that interests me in the Wii U exclusives. Too kiddy, too casual, as per usual with Nintendo. Being a Mario-head is the only way to justify that console.


Too kiddy as in not enough blood and guts ?

hardcore ? Christ ! Ryse´s A for awesome is hardcore and the Wonderful 101´s super deep battle system isn´t ?

Why do people always jump to this conclusion when someone says something is "too kiddy"?

Is it that hard to believe that the light hearted style of Nintendo games just isn't for everyone? Maybe he just isn't a fan of cartoon style platformers.

'Light hearted style' and 'too kiddy' are very different descriptions. It's not hard to believe someone does not enjoy this particular style, but calling it kiddy and casual is not the proper description.

OT: I think it's a bit of a silly post. There are those who simply do not enjoy most of Nintendo's games, wether this be because of biased opinions or a genuine lack of interest in certain styles or genres. Even if the console had an unlimited supply of Nintendo games, why buy it if you don't enjoy them?

The price of the console does not matter, value is what is important. That said, the other consoles should cost more, as they have more to offer, as Xbox One with their kinect 2.0 being fully intigrated into the console. (Not that I'll ever come close to an Xbox One because I actually take the recent privacy breaches very seriously.)

As for multiplatform games, it's been the norm recently for Nintendo versions to be downgraded versions (with a few exceptions), lacking features and decreased online populations. It is more attractive at the moment to purchase multiplatform games on something other than a Nintendo console.

Graphics I must agree, they have not been important to me since the 6th generation of home consoles. That is for me the last generation where graphical power really contributed to the gameplay experience. As further advancements are being made in this department it is possible for significant changes to occur again but I very much doubt that one console will be vastly superior over another.

Including the gamepad at no additional costs is an odd statement. By this logic the PS4 comes with a new dual shock and Xbox One comes with kinect 2.0 "at no additional costs". It's included in the box because it is required to play the console, you can't buy a new Wii U without the gamepad.

 

All this being said, I will be buying a Wii U after another price cut or a bundle in a year or 2 as I have always enjoyed Nintendo exlusives the most and I do not have the money to purchase multiple consoles and its games. I also don't own any consoles from the previous generation so the Wii U will give me the best value.
