Just kidding.  Wii U rocks.  The hardware rocks, that is.  I need a new game.  Lately, I've only been playing Little Inferno (indie game), Batman (multi-plat), Ninja Gaiden (multi-plat), Call of Duty (multi-plat), and Game and Wario (party game).  I can't wait for the heavy hitters.  The potential is there, though.  When it hits its stride, the Wii U will be awesome.  Right now, I wouldn't recommend it to anybody except people who only owned the Wii.

Thats fair and its good you are level headed, Its good to see a Ninty fan that is honest about the situation. Seen to many fans (not just of Ninty) trying to sell their fav company's system like its their getting paid for it. Its a little pathetic.

Now that Pikmin 3's here I'd recommend Wii U, but I didn't before that, its lineup was just too weak.

alot of people were waiting for that. I never liked those games on GC so it doesnt do anything for me, but its supposed to be good.

No game appeals to everyone I guess. I would recommend Pikmin 3 to a wide variety of gamers though, which combines with its quality makes a system seller in my opinion, the first on the Wii U.

oh i def think it will move some consoles, but maybe not like say...a Halo would move some 360s. My days of buying systems for one game are over.

X, Sonic lost world and Bayonetta 2 catch my fancy, aswell as the zelda games.

I'm lol'ing at the people that aren saying nothing interests them when Zelda Wii U is listed there. If its anything like Aonuma teased, it will be an incredible game.

As far as I'm aware, there is not one concrete detail known about this game aside from the fact that it exists. I guess what I'm saying is that to ridicule people for not being interested in a game they know nothing about is somewhat petty.

Myself, after Skyward Sword, I'm not going to make any assumptions about quality before I see what the game has to offer first.

There is nothing petty. If you watched Nintendo directs you would know that the design lines have already been shared with us.

Maybe you should inform yourself better before calling others petty. :P I did mention "anything like aonuma teased" i even gave it off right there. Why do you choose to ignore that part of the post, i dunno.

Anyways, in short for you, its gonna be an open world game.

Okay, what is the name? The art style? The theme? The control scheme? The mechanics? The story? When it will come out? When it will be announced? I'm pretty sure none of those popped up in Nintendo Directs, and that's the kind of information that I actually care about.

And I chose to ignore that part because, unlike much of the gaming press, I don't get excited over scraps that don't tell me anything definite about a game.

Oopen world...okay, I heard about that months ago, and my reaction hovered between meh and disappointment. Either the open-world aspect is a lot less prominent than people are expecting, or one of the better-designed aspects of previous games in the series is being eroded because open-world games are now "in."

And yes, you being a bit petty. The fact you're excited about Zelda U is all well and good, but that's no reason to mock people who aren't as interested.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

Tank!Tank!Tank! Really!? And one entry is DLC for Mario. Hardly counts as a seperate game.

That's like listing Declassified as a reason to buy a Vita

I'm afraid I and Nintendo have grown too far apart. Mario, Smash, Mario [Insert name] don't interest me enough to buy an expensive console and I'm not at all interested in most of the other stuff. X is something I would get if I had a WiiU, but it won't make me buy one.


It can be purchased as a separate title from the stores, which do not require the original game to work.

Very few games moved consoles like Halo 3 did for the 360, haha.

The way I see it is, Pikmin 3 might be the one game to buy a system for, but it's not buying the system for that game alone; once someone has a Wii U games like NSMBU and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate are worthwhile purchases too. I would never buy a system for one game alone, but I can't really think of a recent system with only one game with getting either.

Ya very few people will buy a console for one game and it looks like Nintendo realizes that. Not many people will buy Wii U just for Pikmin or W101 or Wind Waker or DKC or Wii Fit or 3D Mario but when u combine all those in a short period of time then people will take notice.

I find it funny when people say NSMBU failed to sell consoles when thats the only major exclusive. Most people arent going to buy a $300 console just for a 2D platformer.



When the herd loses its way, the shepard must kill the bull that leads them astray.

I think you not watching the nintendo direct and not having any info yet still talking about it like you know is petty.

The art style shouldnt make a difference on the design of the gameplay. The controls are with the gamepad controls obviously, the story you will never know until the game comes out.

If I am in error, feel free to correct me. Simply saying "you don't know what you're talking about therefore you are petty" tells me nothing other than the fact you don't know what "petty" means.

"The art style shouldnt make a difference on the design of the gameplay." I didn't say that it would.

"The controls are with the gamepad controls obviously" Which says absolutely nothing of value about how it will be used.

 "the story you will never know until the game comes out." Because Nintendo never reveals concrete details about an upcoming game's story... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oyHTZkZLn9s
