but i would miss out on halo, gears, forza, max cotb, killer instinct, quantum break, kinect sports, titanfall etc. games worth more than the entry price.
not gonna happen.

Nintendo just give you the same game time and time again..............that is better because?! Most games are shit now for screwing you over in some form. This is why you wait and get the game + all DLC on steam for $1 or bargin bin 6 months after launch. |
The good old, they never produce anything new argument.
Not only is this true but it's question begging because there are obvious new games which you will ignore. Then we have ask about gameplay.
If you produce a ip for years that are first person shooter and than you make a new ip that is a first person shooter that play extremely similar to other shooters is that really new? Does gameplay make something new or just name alone? This up to the person.
OP, currently I'm going Pc and wiiu. Same reasons why I am not buying ps4 or xbone1. Plus,never enjoyed Sony first party. Mircosoft ips I don't enjoy anymore.

There are a lot of great games on both .
I´m of the firm believe that when a person can´t find "anything that doesn´ look like crap" on the Wii, that says more about the person and their lack of awareness and/ or taste in genres than about the Wii itself.
:)
Man, I read the thread title and expected something interesting. All I got was "I'm gonna limit myself and I want to talk about it because you should care about what I do with my money". Enjoy your Nintendo only life. Regular folk like myself will look at what games and features we're interested in, what platform they land on, what our budgets allow, and make our purchases based on those parameters. I think that info is much more useful than a sticker/stamp/engraving of the word Nintendo on a box, but hey, to each is own.

For the foreseeable future, I too will be sticking with Nintendo. I don't plan on spending money to play online (alongside some other issues I have with the direction games are going) and if I really want a game, I'll get it on PC (in 5 years when I actually have a decent PC). For the time being, Nintendo+consoles I already own+indie games on PC will be more than enough to fill my needs.

I wish I bought a Wii, that way I would have avoided the WiiU entirely. At least it had redeeming qualities/games.

1) yes I did think 3rd parties would come 2) no that is not why i sold my ps3 I sold my PS3 because there was only one game coming that I was at all interested in and I would rather put that money towards a future console (wii u) while the PS3 could still get a decent resell value. |
you thought 3rd parties would come because you let wishful thinking trump logic, reason, and common sense. for fucks sake, you have to go all the way back to the snes for the last time nintendo had good 3rd party support. it's been almost 20 years now...
this entire thread you just come off as bitter. maybe you deserve to be for not getting what you want exactly how you want it but from my point of view you were an early adopter and as such you accepted the risks of early adoption by putting your money down on promise,.. not product. watching you try and dance around trying to paint nintendo as a savior and everyone else as evil is just soo laughable and pathetic. nintendo has had their fair share of good and bad moments just the same as everyone else.
but whatever, your entitled to your opinion. i just think your attitude and perspective is foolish. play the games don't let the games play you.

evidently so. Sony have been launching more new AAA IP's than nintendo do, every single year for well over a decade now.
edit: and when im buying uncharted, atleast I dont have to decide about picking between a red and blue version or X and Y, or whatever other bullshit they can think of. |
lol
Of course Sony has launched new IPs. Are we supposed to applaud that? If you make game series centered on the characters and the story, these series need to end. That is why Naughty Dog has made Uncharted and then Last of Us. Here is hoping Uncharted 4 doesn't suck. Sometimes stories just need to end.
And Mario games. First of all, there are like 10 Mario games. I'm sick of hearing people say that there are too many. I think this is pretty obvious, but a game like Mario KART or Mario TENNIS doesn't count. They use the Mario character. That's it. Because Mario is cool.
ACTUAL Mario games. They are only made when the hardware gives a new possibility, that's Miyamoto's philosophy. Compare Mario Galaxy to 3D World. They couldn't be more different. They are both groundbreaking in their genre in terms of gameplay. And they are both masterpieces of craftmanship (the music, the artstyle, everything). Yet people give Nintendo shit for continuing with this series, that should NEVER end, that is amazing in every iteration.
I'm not here to defend that Nintendo is perfect. Nintendo is formed by PEOPLE, every person is different, some geniuses, some just do a good work. That's why Mario 3D World is some of the best shit ever, and the New Super Mario Bros. games are merely OK. That's why Kirby for 3DS will be fun probably, but in the end is just a worse imitation of Sakurai's perfect entry for SNES.
But anyone who says the Wii U is not worth owning (I'm not saying right now, that's personal preference, I'm talking in general) doesn't know shit about videogames.

Kill la Kill is awesome.
"This game has been like a light finally shining into what has been such a depressing time. I feel like this game has given me the power to go on living," the player wrote. "It's something like a miracle. It's helped me remember pure feelings from a more innocent time. I want to thank the development team."

| BeElite said: Their greatness is opinion nothing more, i for one see then as a good dev not great. They dont make the type of games i want and other then one or two gems a gen if im lucky thus to me and much of gamers they are nothign special. Im playing fundementally the same Mario on U i played decades ago. I fail to see any greatness in rehashing same things over and over. |
"Their greatness is opinion nothing more, i for one see then as a good dev not great."
No, opinion is "I like them, I don't like them". Their greatness is pretty much a fact.
"They dont make the type of games i want"
That's an opinion, right there.
Credibility lost.
