Absolutely adored the snes, N64 and Gamecube but then when the wii came out it was quite a few years before I bought one cheap and then most of the time I was still playing gamecube games at least at the beginning. I bought a wii u at release but I've never had the value out of it that I got from earlier Nintendo consoles. It's piss-poor hardware quite frankly and I'm not keen on the gamepad at all. Yes there are some great games that I've enjoyed but the overall package is not great. I wouldn't recommend it to most people only those who are real fans of Nintendo games like Mario and Zelda because there isn't a lot else. Some of the so called great wii u games like Bayonetta 2 seem utterly rubbish to me but then I didn't like the earlier Bayonetta game.

I won't be getting a NX until its built up a reasonable amount of must-have software and if that doesn't happen I doubt I'll get one at all I guess.

I'd love to see the NX as a reasonably powerful console with beautiful and ambitious Mario and Zelda games and Nintendo competing with Sony and Microsoft again across all game genres.

What about Lego City Undercover, W101, Pikmin 3, Donkey Kong Tropical Freze, Bayonetta 2, Yoshi Wolly World, Splatoon, Fatal Frame, Xenoblade X, Mario Kart, Smash Bros..

Zelda U seems like a beautiful and ambitious Zelda game.

Played Lego City Undercover instore and enjoyed it but not in a must have way. I wanted to get it but it never appeared cheap.  Don't like W101. Have Pikmin 3 and its ok but not amazing.  Need to get DKTF, YWW, Splatoon and Xenoblade X when out.

Zelda U looks amazing but that's a gaming experience for future me.

As stated I don't think the wii u has the must have software than earlier Nintendo consoles had and this is reflected partly in the very low sales of the wi u.

On this thread its clear many wii u owners are disappointed and thats on a very low install base I suspect many people who bought a wii u will be hesistant about buying NX because of this disappointment.  Nintendo really have a huge job to do in getting people interested again, getting developers and publishers on board and releasing the right hardware that can fulfill consumer and developer expectations.

I'm certainly keen to see them do it though.
