Lolwut - is a feature of the wii U not the fact that it has a tablet-esque controller? Also:

Hating =/= honest consumer feedback bro. Calling all criticism hating is denial.


I don't understand why people still insist on calling the Wii U controller a tablet. Tablet's don't have buttons. Wii U's controller is much more like the bottom half of a DS controller than a tablet.

If it looks like a tablet, is meant to be portable like a tablet etc, I'll call it a tablet. There are a few differences but that doesn't change my main point that it simply isn't a selling point to me, and by the looks of things, many other people.

But, think about it, the point is, it doesn't look like a tablet! Have you ever seen a Nintendo DS? Now take the top half of it. See? That's what the Wii U's controller looks like, not similar to a tablet. Tablets are square, Wii U's controller is wide. Tablets have 7" to 12" screens, Wii U controller has a 6" screen. Anyway, you are entitled to your own opinion, and as this discussion is completely off topic, we can end it here if you are willing to.

Lol so the ipad is now square? Bro, tablets are not square.

The price doesn't matter to me. It's not too expensive right now. I'm just waiting for the Nintendo games I want. A full Zelda sequel, 3D Mario, FPS Metroid, On-Rails Star Fox and Mario Kart. Give me a couple of those and I'll buy in.

Instead of doing this whole DS cutting just say it looks like Vita. Cause that's what it looks like, since DS doesn't have analogs.

Still, I see no problem with calling it a tablet, since that's pretty much what it is. A tablet with more buttons to control games.



Wii U is a GCN 2 - I called it months before the release!

My Vita to-buy list: The Walking Dead, Persona 4 Golden, Need for Speed: Most Wanted, TearAway, Ys: Memories of Celceta, Muramasa: The Demon Blade, History: Legends of War, FIFA 13, Final Fantasy HD X, X-2, Worms Revolution Extreme, The Amazing Spiderman, Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - too many no-gaemz :/

My consoles: PS2 Slim, PS3 Slim 320 GB, PSV 32 GB, Wii, DSi.

I'd pay $199 for one after 3d Mario comes out.

Price really doesn't matter, if it had great exclusives it would sell.

A system is as valuable as the games it offers, ATM there isn't much for people with multiple consoles to get the system.

Simply put I can't see the point in a Wii U for myself. If I wanted a tablet, I'd buy one. If I wanted to play 7th gen games, I'd buy the much cheaper 360 or PS3. Until I start seeing 8th gen games on it, I can't see the point of it meaning that no matter how low the price was, I wouldn't buy one. Right now I'm interested in the PS4 and/or a Mini-ITX rebuild. 


My thoughts exactly.  Btw I reccomend an mATX build since they are usually the same size as a gaming mITX build.

I don't get why RazorDragon is so opposed to calling it a tablet. That's what it is.

$200-250 would be good for me. I'm not spending more than $300 dollars for any gaming system, though, no matter how powerful.
