Yes, and the game is a bomba, you remember that? Another prediction to crush.



Bayonetta 2 was my reason.

idk, it's a fun game, but I'm not sure if it is THE reason to get a Wii U for a lot of people. But then again, what do I know.



nice

Coming from a person who is terrible at shooters, I love Splatoon.

When I'm on a roll in a Turf War match I can rack up my kill count on the front lines, but when I start getting owned I have the option to fall back and focus on painting my team's part of the map. Depending on how badly I am playing, I can paint areas closer to my base away from the shooting and still make a real contribution to my team. Using the splattershot I can paint walls that almost always get missed by my team-mates using the rollers (I am surprised how many unpainted walls there are right next to the re-spawn point, as this is literally free territory).

I know this is a small gripe for most of the people on this forum as you are the hardcore, but for someone like myself who takes 25 hours to finish a game that takes other people 15 it's really nice to be able to play a game that is this approachable for people of all skill levels. Even Mario Kart 8's online modes are not this approachable to new players. Who ever thought Nintendo could take a genre known for being highly skill-based and make a game that not only welcomes but thrives off of players with varying skill levels.

haven't bought these games but part of my wishlist - Lego City Undercover, Wind Waker HD, Captain Toad, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Wonderful 101, Arkham City Armored Edition

you've forgot DK: Tropical Freeze :)

i'll also try to check 3rd party games like NFS: MW and COD

Indeed I did :P 

Funny thing about Wii U is that it has introduced me to so many great third party series despite having crappy third party support. I definitely wanna try out COD.



1doesnotsimply

Splatoon is way to expensive for what it is, Nintendo should of sold the game at $50.



As someone who has a Wii U, no real interest in Splatoon. I have plenty of other systems that have shooters.

Smash Bros. on the other hand, has barely been out of my Wii U since I got it.



Bet with Adamblaziken:

I bet that on launch the Nintendo Switch will have no built in in-game voice chat. He bets that it will. The winner gets six months of avatar control over the other user.
