Forums - Nintendo - Is Wii U worth buying?

If you're willing to wait for Nintendo's major first party and don't have any other consoles then yes. If you have any of the other brands then no, because the libraries they've amassed are much larger. The PS4 and Xbox One will amass larger libraries within the next two years than the Wii U and surpass it because of its lack of third party. The plus to that is that more games will have to be made personally for the Wii U.

No



This is like the guys standing around gamestop when i go in to buy a wii u game. Everybody wants to know if i like the system. The answer is in the eye of the beholder. For me its a family system. We loved our wii and we love our wii u. But everyone at my house loves nintendo games. Everything from wii sports to mario, luigi, zelda, and most things in between. So what i tell people who ask is that if you like the games nintendo makes you will love the wii u. Its gott allot of cool features and the gamepad is great but it doesnt matter if it could wash your car. if u are not really into nintendo games you should get something else.

Wii U: Should I get one?

 

I haven't been playing games too often at all this year. I have no idea if it's because I lost interest or if it's just I have nothing new to play. For Christmas, I have a chance to possibly get a Wii U if I want one. As Nintendo fans, you guys will likely say yes just cause but I want honest answers and good examples of why I should give the Wii U (and gaming in general) a chance. If no, then explain why not.

 

Thanks in advance! :)

This is what's making me buy one this holiday season. I just... couldn't pass that up. Especially with friends to play with. It looks like fun even without friends! Here's one reason I can think of if you like Mario and games that is.



It really depends on what games interest you, If you like Nintendo first party games then I would say that the WiiU is worth it as there is a bunch of quality titles out already and a lot of great games coming.

I'd say if you do like the content WiiU has to offer, then buy WiiU at Xmas, I'd wait on getting a PS4/XB1 if you are thinking about that since nearly every system has a software drought for a while after launch, WiiU has good games available and a lot of Nintendo's biggest games coming in 2014.

I think it's important to note that I think WiiU is best as a second console, with a PS4/XB1 being your main console for next gen since Nintendo console's miss out on a lot of third party content, That being said I do think it will take a little while for PS4/XB1 to really get going fully. So that's why I suggest WiiU this year, then PS4/XB1 sometime in 2014/15.

But yeah, that's what I would do in your situation. But ultimately it's about what games you prefer and if you feel WiiU offers what you are seeking in a console :)

If you're a casual gamer and are ok with owning a machine that will pretty much only feature Netflix and Nintendos first party offerings, then it's a great deal and perfect for your needs.


this again...urgh !

I didn't mean casual as in like, candy crush casual lol. I meant someone who doesn't play 3 games a month. Nintendo games are amazingly fun but they don't come out that often. That's all.

Why would you want a Wii U? Wouldn't you be much happier with an iPad, an hd clone, a bunch of tv remotes, credit card debt, and no offtv play or webtv content? HD Nintendo, not much to say there.  Besides,  theres lotsa original ideas and good gameplay coming for nextgen clones, the Wii U has no games.  

mm...kay

No. Reasons why:

-Ps4 and Xbox one coming out soon are much more powerful. Everyone knows power = fun.

-The Vita is currently available.

-Ratchet and Clank Into the Nexus coming out soon will provide you with 100+ hours of entertainment.

-You can get a Wii for like $40 to waggle all you want.


Totally wrong?!! Power its not fun lol

 

Nintendo=Fun
