Bayonetta 2 announced as an exclusive. (After the shittiness of E3 2012, this was the thing that finally got my pumped for the system)

The reveal of Xenoblade Chronicles X.

Splatoon defying the odds and becoming a smash hit.

I'm a fan of itagaki, but i'm having a hard time convincing myself to buy the game. is it worth it?

No, it most certainly is not.

The controls are clunky, the framerate runs like a three-legged hippo, combat is shallow and dull, and the whole thing is just a tacky bore, like the video game equivalent of a straight-to-video crapfests like Snakes on a Train or Anaconda 4.

Do not listen to him onionberry. Why? Oh, because he watched a video of some kid playing it in his mothers basement with a 56 k modem. Curl or whoever it is above who post this really has no idea about the game. In fact I think I will make a thread announcing that anyone paying attention to some dude who based his hatred of a game off some random youtube video, is dead ass backwards. Now if you want to know anything about....splatoon.....Mario KArt 8 and possibly SMash U then by all means ask curl all about it since that is probably the only wii u games that he plays. Like many on this site.

 

WHAT NOW BRO!

I've played the first mission; unless the controls, framerate, combat, VA, writing, etc all change drastically from the second mission onwards, (all the footage I have seen indicates they do not) then I don't need to play any more to know it's not going to be worth my time and money. And the playthroughs I've seen were by very thorough players who almost never died and went out of their way to find collectables. 

Maybe we just need to come to terms with the fact that you love the game, I hate it, and that's okay.

As to playing only Mario Kart and Splatoon, I own and have extensively played a wide range of Wii U games, from Bayonetta 2 to Lego City, ZombiU to Hyrule Warriors, Fatal Frame 5 to Rayman Legends, Call of Duty to Sonic Racing Transformed.
