I have been reading through a lot of threads and I keep seeing the criticizing of Nintendo's e3 as only appealing to Wii U owners, but I don't get where they draw that conclusion from. What games did they announce that just benefits those who already own a Wii U? I am pretty sure the promotion of Smash Bros is to get those still on the fence to come over. The announcement that Bayonetta 2 will have the original packed in as well is also a way to get people to not only buy the software, but potentially move hardware as well. Unveiling Zelda for the Wii U was most definitely news for new users as we know very clearly that there are a large amount of people waiting for the new Zelda game to get the Wii U.

Also, many non-Wii U owners were asking for a new IP and they gave one. It's a shooter, too. Although it may not be the kind of shooter most people were expecting, it has many of the same elements, except it's a much more chaotic and faster paced game than most shooters (if you watched the actual gameplay footage, you would know this is true). What about that game screams "only for current Wii U owners" I wonder?

While they were focusing mostly on just 1st party titles, the thing about it is that 1st party titles is mostly what Nintendo has. 3rd parties are, in general, just skipping the Wii U right now. So the best Nintendo can do is what they are already doing with Bayonetta and Hyrule Warriors.

I was gonna get one sooner rather than later, but it just made the deal sweeter

Ka-pi for the win! 

Same here, it's commendable that Nintendo is supporting Wii U, and trying some new things, but nothing interests me really.

i thought it was a good console all along, now i just need money.

Didn't really change anything. Nothing new that they announced seemed all that great. I'm still gonna wait for at least one more price drop and then get Mario 3dW, Zelda (both), Smash, Kart, and possibly X (though that trailer really turned me off of it).

It has been a known quantity from day one and anyone acting like them announcing a Zelda for their system is some sort of megaton is fooling themselves or trying paint a false image of some great E3. I mean they ALWAYS have a Zelda so how exactly is it a surprise that they're following their policy of the last 25 years? Mind you it looks great and it's one of the main reasons I'm buying the system, but seriously not a surprise.

I could imagine a Gamestop employee helping you make that transaction without even blinking an eye.

I've been on the fence for a while on whether to buy one or not, after E3 I will for sure be getting one.

It looks very good for the WiiU, its the console that delivers this gen and the big N did great at E3.

Nope, it still didn't convince me.

They did convince me that the console is not doomed anymore, but only time will really tell.

I already own one. I'm not sure if it'll convince others to buy the console though.
