Im a huge Nintendo fan but I have yet to buy a Wii U. In the first 9 months the only major Nintendo franchise to appear on Wii U was 2D Mario which is a great series but its not enough for me to spend $300+ for a new console. I dont give a shit about Nintendo Land or Game & Wario. ZombiU and Lego City look pretty decent but thats still not enough and every other game I could play on my PS3 or 3DS.
My plan was to get one this holiday now that Pikmin, Wonderful 101, Wind Waker and 3D Mario have made the library more appealing to me but a few months back work got really slow and they started laying people off and cut my hours back by a good margin so money has been pretty tight lately. Work is starting to pick back up and at the start of the year ill be back to my regular schedule plus ill be getting a pretty big tax return so ill probably buy a Wii U around that time. Also Donkey Kong and Mario Kart will be released around that time so that increases the value of Wii U by alot as well.
I know alot of hardcore gamers expect people to just blindly buy there console of choice at launch but im not one of them. I wait until there is a nice collection of games I really want and cant play on my current consoles, for the majority of this year Wii U did not fit that criteria.
When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.
