Yes, their Hw is usually more durable and their controller designed to their flagship games. I'm a Sony fan but if money and space wasn't a problem I would buy ninty hw to play their games where it's supposed to be played.

Lol no. It's not a desirable machine for me. It's acceptable hardware (unlike the Wii) but the draw is the exclusive Nintendo games.

I have not wanted to buy a Nintendo console since N64. If I could finally, play their games on one of the many other more capable products I have, I would never look back.

So far this gen I have been able to hold out, but MK8 is just feeling like a super magnet. May end up buying the U once it hits. Although I do dream of playing MK8 with the DS4 on PSN.

Stop hate, let others live the life they were given. Everyone has their problems, and no one should have to feel ashamed for the way they were born. Be proud of who you are, encourage others to be proud of themselves. Learn, research, absorb everything around you. Nothing is meaningless, a purpose is placed on everything no matter how you perceive it. Discover how to love, and share that love with everything that you encounter. Help make existence a beautiful thing.

I'm telling you now, if Nintendo released a wiiu bundled with a pro controller and sold tablet as extra or kept tablet in a premium bundle sales would sky rocket

£179 with pro controller yes please, or £199 with nsmbu, possibly even cheaper if a re design is round the corner, the longer they hang onto the notion that the tablet is the future the worse it will be

so ot I think Nintendo games should be on Nintendo platform, but they need to post out wiiu ASAP

...not much time to post anymore, used to be awesome on here really good fond memories from VGchartz...

really miss the VGCHARTZ of 2008 - 2013...

No and that's the point Nintendo should think about. If people only buy your system for your own software, and you don't really make any money on the system itself, what's the point in releasing your own system?
