Forums - Nintendo - I was on the fence about WiiU but.......

happydolphin on 21 July 2012

@OP. Agreed, ZombiU looks awesome. I'm also looking forward to Rayman Legends and LEGO City Stories. Pikmin 3 and P-100 will be curiosity rentals for me but I'm still looking forward to them. NSMBU may be a first day buy. We'll see I may not be able to afford it tho, probs will wait till later. I think I'll get ZombiU and NintendoLand first day to show it off to my friends and ZombiU mostly to have fun.

Yup, me too. The Wii is the first Nintendo console I've ever owned and it's my favourite console out of the three that I own this gen. The last two gens I've had a PS1 and PS2 but like many other people Sony priced themselves out of the market for the first two years of the PS3's life.

I can't stand Mario, for me he's the most annoying video game character I've ever had the misfortune to experience...there's only so many 'woo hoos' and 'whee hees' I can stand before I want to throw something at my telly lol. But this gen I've played the Zelda and Metroid Prime for the first time and they're both right up my street. I love them. Really looking forward to seeing what those games are going to look like in HD, the Zelda lighting demo was stunning.

I know what you mean about the 'woo hoos' and 'whee hees'. For NSMB I was able to get over it, and also for Galaxy, but the intros always get to me. I'm still learning to just not expect anything epic anymore and ignore them. :) I love both games.

Can't wait for HD Zelda and Metroid, I hope good TP sales will help Nintendo give more still more epicness to Zelda.

One question. You have a 3DS so why would you get a DS lite to play Pokemon White 2??.

Because the 3DS sucks at playing DS games.

I could probably live with it but I don't really want to. (Plus there is a GBA slot.)

Is it really that bad Pie? Save your money bud, or buy a DS Lite second hand or something if it's just for this.

Really??. i never noticed anything wrong with them :-/ . just seems kinda like a waste of money imo unless you really want that gba slot and in that case maybe it would cheaper to buy a gba xD.

For me it does. The colours look kind of wishy-washy sometimes and everything seems dull. It just doesn't look as good as it used to.

That's what I was going to do. (Even though I justified buying a new DS Lite because it's almost the same price as most used ones on eBay.)

In my opinion it's pretty bad. The D-Pad placement is annoying and it doesn't look too good.

So...you'd rather spend your money buying a system to play games you could already play...but that look a bit nicer, than buy a brand new system to play games which you can't get anywhere else?

Am I the only one seeing the flaw in your logic?



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

No you are not. Even if I wouldnt have enough money by the time the U releases I would not dump everything for an old system and go back to zero. This would set you like 2 to 3 years apart from getting a Wii U. Back in the day when I did not have my own steady income, I delivered newspapers and worked part time after school harvesting cherrys, strawberrys and potatoes to afford buying my N64. I guess people don't do suff like that anymore....



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

Exactly. If you don't have the money, wait another few months and you will. If you decide to 'blow' it on a system you don't need, it'll delay you by a couple years, then if you REALLY want a game on it, you won't be able to get it.

Crazy.

I want to buy the Wii U. But if I don't have the money, what's the point in not buying something else?
