I hope the Wonderful 101 keeps selling as more people buy the system. I really do not understand why you wouldn't get the game if you own a Wii U.


Well, I have a Wii U and haven't gotten Wonderful 101. While the reviews aren't bad, I think they're the worst of the, like, core games that have come out this year, and there's a lot of other games I want to buy and it just hasn't made the cut yet. It's near the top of my GameFly queue, so if I get it and play it and adore it I'll pick it up, but right now I'm just not convinced by the gameplay I've seen.

Games are expensive - if I buy a game I like to be convinced I'm really getting a return on my investment. That it will have tons of replayability, that I'll still be pulling it out a year or two from now. With a game like Wind Waker HD or Super Mario 3D World (or even some more random titles I have like Tekken Tag Tournament 2 which is good when friends are over) I know I will. With Wonderful 101? I dunno. 

Frankly, I've got that problem with Pikmin 3, which I also haven't got yet. I'm sure it's fantastic, but I'm also sure that I'll play through it once and probably not want to play it anymore. Thus, it's at the top of my GameFly queue, but not my shopping list. 

It's definitely not the kind of game you play through once and forget. It has far more replayability than any Zelda or Mario game. I've spent twenty hours with it (only just beat it on easy) and feel like I haven't even started to touch upon some of the gameplay. There is HEAPS of depth here.

This game is a far better value proposition than Wind Waker.
