A Nintendo console is a must have
Zelda alone is my reason to buy those consoles and handhelds.
My parents bought the Nintendo for Zelda 1 - They bought the SNES at first for Zelda 3.Same with the N64 and i bought the Gamecube for Wind Waker.
The Wii came also with Twilight Princess and the other game that i own AND played on the Wii is Skyward Sword.
Of course i own Xenoblade and so on but never played it on the Wii(PC in HD *cough*)

This is enough for me - I don't need more on Nintendo Consoles cause i have usually enough to play on Sony Platforms and PC.

Being someone who has not grown up playing mario/zelda/dk and other infamous nintendo IP's, I see little point myself in acquiring it for the software. The hardware would have to be very compelling, and the support - online would need to be stellar, also depending if my friends actually get it, as we tend to game together a lot, however the tablet gameplay seems intriguing. If the price is good enough I might just buy it outright!

Oh, okay.  I was just confused by your wording.

I think the solution is a lot simpler then this list implies.

They need to have a wide range of high quality AAA which cover the vast majority of genre's. This is something Wii didn't do and the ps3/360 did.

I don't think a single 3rd party wii game has scored above 90 on the metacritic. This should give you an idea of why only 1st party games sell on the system and 90% of nintendo's 1st party titles in the last year have been platforming or party games.

If your a fan of WRPJs, FPS, TPS, Racing Simulators, Action games, games with an emphasis on story, games which aim to convey realism, games set in sci-fi universes, then the wii was serverly lacking. And I want emphasise the importance of both quality and quantity, because some may say that the wii had "mad world" or "No more heroes" which should cater to action fans, but both games had avaerage gameplay but got attention through their unique style. Also 2 games over 6 years is not impressive.

The wii however was great for platformers and for this year JRPG's.


The U is likely ammend this problem but now it faces the fact that nintendo hasn't showed any big 3rd party content which people cannot already experience on the their HD consoles. Generally the reason why you buy a system is to pick up a new generation of games, Nintendo hasn't shown that they are going to offer this outside of 1st party games.

ive bought the last few Ninty consoles. Dont see that changing in the future. Multi-console owner for life

Not too much, I really love Super Smash Bros. Mario Kart is awesome too. I'll probably go Sony next gen again, but if I got another console, it'll be a Wii U.

Suuuuure. We'll let you think that APM.

You say we don't, but what about exclusives. How many exclusive IPs (new or revisited) that have themes that resonate with you, would it take to convince you? Would you also need all the multiplats? would you need the kiddie ones out?

I like you post, but I'm getting very annoyed with some of you. I provided a list, I wanted you guys to use it, lots of thought was put into the list. I'm interested in your opinion, just quote the OP, and bold those you would want.

Why does everything have to be spelled out for you guys, is snowdog the only intelligent one here?

@the cursed kiddy vs hardcore debate. GUYS, I never used the word hardcore in OP. I used kiddy, or games that appeal to adults. Now GET OVER IT and let us understand what is actually going on instead of getting stuck at the same old roadblocks ffs. @MDMAlliance, homer was hinting at the cube, you missed it. Instead of trying to look smart, let others talk a little.

End rant

OP was updated with new items. Please use it, thanks.

Yes people, help out HappyD and post your reasonings and opinions.
