I never understand the point of these threads let alone peoples replies.

I'll get it when zelda comes out or smash or mario kart.

Like they are coming out so buy the console. Be like Sony and Microsoft fans, they support their console knowing great games are coming.

Imagine if ever Nintendo fan though like the responses here then the Wii probably would have sold 500K units by now. Those kind of sales would probably lead to a discontinued console and no zelda, smash or mario kart.

TO be fair and you are not going to like this, so prepare to flame. BUt Sony and MS fans support their consoles because their consoles have been and is getting supported. You CANNOT say the same for all of Ninty consoles. I mean support across the board 1st AND 3rd party. Hell even when PS3 was getting whupped it was still getting games, sure they werent exclusives and were shared with 360 but thats a hell of alot more than what Wii U is getting, its not even getting some of the multiplats from PS360 and those have been around for years, NVM the next gen ports. Outside of Watchdogs, I dont know what its getting next gen wise.

OT. Buying a whole console for one game has always been foolish to me. I need about 3 games to even consider a purchase and honestly right now the only thing on WIi U that im interested in is Zelda and it better look close to that tech demo. Matter of fact ill just wait for that.


I agree with you in that regard about the support. However I didn't want to bring up the fact if your console sells well then 3rd parties are more likely to support it. This  would stir up other old arguments such as 3rd parties don't try on Nintendo systems etc.. and arguments around weak hardware which allows 3rd parties to port games etc.. these forums had all this argued to death already.

We already seen excuses on the forums for why people arn't buying games like COD ghost, poor frame rate = no buy. Hell PS4 had frame rate issues. Both versions got patches to fx these issues. COD ghosts runs pretty well for what the Wii U is hardware wise. However to be fair there are a few games which are total waste of time liek batman outsourced and being worst than the port. However BS excuses shouldn't be used on all games when a developer has put in effort.

Note my comments only apply to people with one console brand in each gen not multi console owners who have options. 

With scalable engines these days, there is no good reason for top publishers not to release games on WIi U, however the users must show support the games like you said otherwise they will not show interest similar to VITA, but even so VITA seems to at least be getting some decent games.
