Forums - Nintendo - Why should I buy a WiiU?

stop trying to teach people how to be a good Nintendo fan...it sucks :P

Nintendo is kind of dumb for not having strong games at launch.

NSMBU was an afterthougth, it wasnt a game they wanted to make because they had imaginative ideas AND features that justified making the game, it was just the only cheap million seller they could create in 12 months.

Pikmin 3 was already being developed years ago for the Wii.

WiiFitU was another cheap million seller they could create in 12 months.

Nintendoland is another minigame collectionwe have alreadys seen millones of times



you shouldnt, dont waste your money in something you hate so much. Instead use that money to get out, get laid & relax. :P

I'm seeing an unusually large amount of Wii U is doomed articles and posts, which means that the Wii U will be hugely successful, since these hardcore types that frequent the message boards are so out of touch with reality and tend to predict the opposite of what actually happens.. (remember the Wii and PS3). Wii to sell 150 million units confirmed!

Seriously, all you have to do to predict the success of a console is look at how much negativity it gets on gaming sites and message boards. Michael Patcher should take notes!

How is a brand new classic Mario title, Pikmin 3 - which looks gorgeous, A Wii Fit sequel that will probably sell like 30 million units, a new mature IP from Ubisoft, and a sequel to the one of the best 2D sidescrolling games in recent history not a strong launch? What exactly do you people expect from Nintendo? Smash Bros, Metroid Prime, and Zelda all at launch? Aint gonna happen.

How soon we forget the crappy launches of Xbox 360 and PS3. Seriously - Kameo, PDZ, Project Gotham Racing 3, GUN, Resistance?? Gross...

The Wii launched with a Zelda port, Super Monkey Ball, and *shudders* Red Steel.

Come to think of it, even the PS2, a console with perhaps the best game library to date, had a pretty mediocre launch lineup.

OK. I got a warning for the "Pikmin bastards" comment. I apologise for anyone who might have been offended by this.

However, bastard is just another word for illegitimate. Which is exactly what Pikmin fans are. Illegitimate Nintendo fans. If you like Nintendo because of the Pikmin era then you're not a real Nintendo fan.

You're a Pretendo.

You like Nintendo when they make computer games instead of console games.


Pikmin  2 is the best game ever but

2d mario >3d
2d zelda > 3d

So what I'm I O.o



Tag:I'm not bias towards Nintendo. You just think that way (Admin note - it's "biased".  Not "bias")

Switch is 9th generation. Everyone else is playing on last gen systems! UPDATE: This is no longer true. 2nd UPDATE: I have no Switch 2. I am now behind

Biggest pikmin fan on VGchartz I won from a voting poll
I am not a nerd. I am enthusiast.  EN-THU-SI-AST!
Do Not Click here or else I will call on the eye of shining justice on you. 

You shouldn't.

Spend that money on coke and prostitutes instead.



WHERE IS MY KORORINPA 3

3d zelda > 2d zelda
3d mario > 2d mario

3d metroid >>>> 2d metroid

Are you insane..? Or just trolling..?

The idea of a launch lineup is to sell consoles. Having a 2D Mario game, a third installment to the Wii Fit franchise and a game (probably packed in or available to download for free) that demonstrates the use of the new GamePad are strong launch day/launch window games.

Just have a look at what we can expect either launch day or during the launch window (in no particular order):

Pikmin 3
NSMB U
Wii Fit U
NintendoLand
Lego City Undercover
ZombiU
Darksiders 2
Assassin's Creed 3
Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge
Aliens Colonial Marines
Tekken Tag Tournament 2
Tank! Tank! Tank!
Project P-100
Sonic All Stars Racing
Just Dance 4
Rabbids Land
Rayman Legends
Mass Effect 3
Scribblenaughts Unlimited
Arkham City

And that's just the titles that I remember off the top of my head that have been officially announced so far - you can probably add BlOps 2, (maybe) Medal of Honor Warfighter, FIFA and Madden to that list too.

I personally can't think of a launch lineup throughout console history better looking than that tbh. It certainly pisses all over the launches of the Wii, PS3 and 360 this generation.
