Forums - Nintendo - I bought a Wii U! First impressions inside.

F0X on 02 April 2014

Why yes, I do plan to buy a Wii U eventually. However you must understand that I held off on DS/Wii until 2009/10 (respectively), and that I deeply regret purchasing a 3DS at launch.

Best case scenario: I buy it when Smash Bros. comes out.
Worst case scenario: I buy it when X comes out.

I was going to buy a ps4 ...blah blah yada yada.... took a look at my kid and wife and blah blah....yada yada.....picked up a Wii U and boom. Best decision I ever made. The local multiplayer is amazing, the graphics, amazing, games, amazing!!

 

GET RAYMAN LEGENDS!!

 

The down side to the Wii U? Any absolute shite that EA released for it. I bought mass effect 3 and I feel like they must have tried to make it jumpy with a bad frae rate. I bought fifa 13 just to have a fifa. Again, randomly jumps. I feel like EA did this i purpose or else they just are horrible at making games. Everything is is awesome on this little machine. I even have a COD game and can play it in bed on the game pad against someone in my living room.

I'm still gonna say you have the system and I'm glad you're enjoying it. The Gamepad is pretty sweet. Awesome console, really. Hope more people give it a chance.

Sonic Lost World, Super Mario 3D World, Rayman Legends, NSMB U and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze all conspire to give the finest platform game lineup in a good decade.

The fact that they look so good in HD is just the icing on the cake.

I do need to get WWHD, I'm a bit miffed though as it joined other staple IPs in having an uncharacteristic price reduction before Xmas, but those retailers have sold out and not restocked leaving just GAME wanting 50% more >_<


How is Lost World though? I hear it's shit.

Yeah, see you in a month or 2 when you run through those few games and it becomes a dust detector.

Edit: well maybe longer, forgot about MK8 Finally coming out ffs.

Reviews are so off the mark for it. It's a very fun little game. Not perfect, but the reviews were just damning for the sake of clicks and jumping on the "Sonic doomed" nonsense.

I don't know anyone who actually owns it who doesn't like it. Solid 7-8/10 from me. Just let down by some cheap level design in some places. First 4 worlds are utter bliss though and the visuals are vibrant and really pop. Also has a great soundtrack. Not quite up to 3D World's standard, but very good none the less.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

Good, I like the art a lot. It's on my list for when I get my Wii U.

What if I'm actually lying about not owning a Wii U?
