Yes, as a matter of fact I was hoping for a normal controller to be the main controller

interesting question. i dont own a wiiU but i really want to know what wiiU owners think



Well, if it were exactly the same thing but with no gamepad, it would be cheaper as well. The answer would be "maybe." It really depends on what's offered. I really wanted the Wii U because I was intrigued by the idea.



That's just an impossible question though, isn't it? Without the GamePad it wouldn't be the Wii U, and as such Nintendo would've made something entirely different.



The Screamapillar is easily identified by its constant screaming—it even screams in its sleep. The Screamapillar is the favorite food of everything, is sexually attracted to fire, and needs constant reassurance or it will die.

I don't own one yet, but yes. I need my Nintendo games! (In HD.)

i think he ment it would have been a traditional console, or a more powerfull Wii that uses the same controllers but offers better graphics/social networking etc etc



yes because i lovez me some Nintendo gamez lol

it would probably be like the Gamecube if it didn't have the gamepad though(a system that i loved but didn't sell all that well WorldWide)

I believe the Wii U sales will pick up greatly when it gets back to their signature $249.99 price point

but yes i would buy it



I would have waited cuz I could have just painted my Wii and pretended it was a Wii U. HD alone is just not something that makes me jump out of my seat when I have a PS3/X360 that's collecting dust. Just for HD, PC blows consoles away..just not even close.

Half the fun is anticipating what kind of gaming surprise this brings to gaming. I still kinda wish somebody brings a decent MMO to Wii U cuz I definitely can see how the gamepad could add so much fun.
