Forums - Nintendo - Is the Wii U actually anyone's main console?

 

So?

Hell No! 68 32.08%
 
Total:212

It's my only console, if you don't count plugging in an older console every once in a while. PS3 and 360 are awesome, but I can't justify spending more time and money on gaming than I already do. People think it's just me trying to make sour grapes out of missing out on third party hits, but I've felt like every single Nintendo console has had enough content to keep me satisfied all generation long.

Yeah, it's going to be my main home console for the foreseeable future, as it's bringing games that I want to play. Shocking revelation, I know.

Right now I own the following games:

Batman: Arkham City Armored Edition
Disney's Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two
Little Inferno
New Super Mario Bros. U (with New Super Luigi U add on content)
Nintendo Land
Scribblenauts Unlimited
Trine 2
ZombiU

And this year I'll be buying the following games:

Pikmin 3 (August)
Rayman Legends (September)
The Wonderful 101 (September)
Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure (September)
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD (October)
Sonic: Lost World (October)
Batman: Arkham Origins (October)
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze (November)
Super Mario 3D World (December)
Wii Fit U (December)

Lookin' forward to it.

It's somewhat shock that the wii u is so many people's main console on this site. No worries added a game you forgot to put in!

You're lucky, Scribblenauts Unlimited still isn't available in Europe on the WiiU...



Gonna stay in this way. No plans for any other console, thought.

Well if you could tell from my avatar and games I'm looking forward to in that last, the Platforming genre is my favorite genre in the whole wide world. Love it. Can't get enough of it. Etc. Etc.

I can't speak for anyone but myself, but when a console offers me the big four of platforming all in one holiday season (Mario, Sonic, Rayman, and Donkey Kong), man... it's a beautiful thing.



il get a WiiU down the line but it will probe be my 3rd? PS4> PS3 > WiiU in all honesty i think. for me the PS3 just has way to many games i need to play and catch up on



Well, i don't think it will be my 'main system', but if Nintendo manages to pump out more core games (consistently) at regular intervals then it may command anywhere between 40% to 50% of my attention (with the other 60% or 50% going to the PS4). I might be generous here since PS4 will be my source for multiplatform games and online play, but I am first and foremost a solitary gamer, and I think Nintendo's games excel here ( they do well in MP too).

I have a feeling I'll clock more hours into Smash Bros. Wii U than any other game next gen (based on the trends I set with previous installments).



 

Playstation = The Beast from the East

Sony + Nintendo = WIN! PS3 + PSV + PS4 + Wii U + 3DS


yep it is and will be for the rest of the gen. And for those ''migthy'' third party titles (from 10 games only 1 or 2 are good) i have a good pc. Maybe i wont be able to see lara croft thong's mark in her pants in the next tomb rider( that's the selling point of the PS4: graphics) but i will be able to play the game and have fun.



Wii U is and will continue to be my main console this coming generation, i don't really see myself getting either PS4 or Xbone, no games other than KH3 and FF15 could convince me to get those consoles, and with the slight possibility of FF15 on PC, i don't really see the need for any of the consoles if that happens.

My 360 has been boxed for e few months now since i only bought it to play Blue Dragon and Lost odyssey, and my PS3 is practically just a blu-ray player and PS1-classics player, it will however get some use when FFX/X-2 HD Remaster releases.

Wii U will most definitely be my main console, all multiplats i might have any interest in will be bought on PC.

i already have a lot of games for it:
NSMBU
Nintendoland
ZombiU
Sonic Racing Transformed
Tekken Tag 2
Runner 2
Trine 2
Assassin's Creed 3
Fifa 13
Lego City Undercover
Virtual console titles too many to mention.

i am looking forward to the new games coming towards the end of this year, for me it is probably gonna be my best console experience so far.
