Are Wii U games going to have light blue boxes? I like!
I give it a 7/10
First of all, the price is perfect IMO, I was very happy about that, and NintendoLand looks really, really cool. It looks like a good game which would get new gamers into Nintendo Brands, and I'm happy for that as games like Pikmin and Metroid deserve more sales.
However they didn't confirm launch titles, or confirm which games would release in 2012, but they gave a list of games releasing in a "launch window." I didn't like that because now I don't know if Pikmin 3 will be a launch title.
Bayonetta and The Wonderful 101 were really cool, and I'm happy that Black Ops 2 was announced for Wii U, but I think this was a very late announcement for something as big as Call of Duty. Sales will not be big, and what about other major 3rd party releases? What about Resident Evil 6? What about Skyrim (They could have released an ultimate edition for Wii U)?
Also no new 1st party game was announced, which really annoyed me. Wii, Gamecube, and the 3DS realeased with close to a dozen 1st party titles announced, and with screenshots. Wii U has a dozen games published by Nintendo, but only a handful developed by Nintendo. I was really hoping to learn about Retro Studios next game, or Smash Bros.
So this press conference actually threw me off getting a Wii U anytime soon. Why buy a Wii U now when there are only a couple games I am interested releasing any time soon, and nothing, except Bayonetta 2, announced for 2013. I will get a Wii U, probably before any other next gen system, but if Sony blows me away with their next gen console unveil then maybe not.
