I haven't got my hands on a Wii U yet. But I'm sure gonna get one when Wind Waker HD finally comes out. This Zelda is my favourite in the series.

That Monolith Soft game also looks quite good. That footage sure got me intrigued.

I never doubted Nintendo would released most of the others games "announced". The question was "when" not "if". But I'm still waiting for the announcement of the next entry in the Metroid series. Hopefully, a classic 2D style one...

That would be epic.

As excited as I am for these games, I would be an idiot not to think that they are not in the works. 

How can this presentation possibly be spun into a bad thing? The lengths these haters go to is incredible. Then again, i suppose they have to convince themselves first though.

Expected
Zelda was the only reason i would buy a WiiU for and the new Monolith J-RPG is a 2nd good reason.
Everything else i don't care for really that much.

PS4+WiiU+PC will be the way to go for the whole NextGen.

Buying a console for one game smell pretty fishy for me ...

What's pathetic is making a thread in all caps about games that were known to be coming and freaking out about the unannounced Sony and Microsoft systems (except for the monolithsoft game which will be a niche seller).

Those comparing these announcements to games that failed to "save" the GameCube... to put it simply, that was then, this is now. These franchises -- Mario Kart and Smash Bros. in particular -- they're not the same franchises we knew 10 years ago. Mario Kart doesn't sell 7 million lifetime any more. It sells 7 million in its first year. Smash Bros has also grown from a 7 million-seller to an 11 million-seller, and more importantly, from a hit game to an absolute system-seller.

Add Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Wind Waker HD, SMT X FE, and Xenogame to the list; these are the kinds of games that made the GameCube a bit of a cult hit, a console many Wii haters reflect on with admiration.

Then consider the likes of Wii U Party, Wii Fit U, Game and Wario, Yoshi's Epic Yarn, Mario Kart U; these are the kinds of games that made the Wii such an enormous global sales success among the so-called "casual" crowd.

And unlike Viewtiful Joe and Resident Evil 4, there is ZERO possibility of these games finding a home on other consoles in the near future: every single one of them is directly funded or developed by Nintendo themselves. They have complete control over these titles, and every single one will remain a Wii U exclusive for the next generation.

What we have here is not history repeating itself. What we have here is a potential perfect storm of a console, one that demands the attention of all gamers, not just one group.

The conference confirmed tha the Wii U will be great system, but whether it will draw in those who are'nt sold by mario/zelda is still up for debate. I think Beyonetta and Monoliths RPG are the only games nintendo have shown which reach out beyond their usual audience but this is to be expected. Really it comes down to whether 3rd parties support the system with their next franchises because thats where the real diversity in games lay.

Nope nope nope.  NOOOPE.  MonolithSoft's X exceeds 360/PS3 in terms of its scope.

AND Mario Kart + 3D Mario DEFINITELY were what saved the 3DS.  There's an 80% chance Wii U is saved with JUST those titles.

edit:  I'm speaking from the point of view of others, you are speaking from your personal preference.  If we want to talk about games that look amazing, we don't even know yet about the games that aren't shown.  Just because they've released a Mario Kart, 3D Mario, and Zelda game before DOESN'T mean they can't blow our minds with these Wii U versions.
