Not at all. We all thought the wii would be lame, but I love the hell out of my
Wii. It seems gimicky at first, but that is the power of Nintendo. They take current game trends, laugh at them, then do their own shit. Sometimes it works, Wii, sometimes, not Gamecube.

Personally I think they will blow us away all over again.

***S14DB*** · 04-27-2012, 10:11 PM

Well, you got the Blow part right...

BOROSUN · 07-09-2012, 11:45 PM

Theres a price leak from amazon in euro 399 which is about $508 us dollars. Target price is Probably around $499 for us. I hope less.

*exitspeed* · 07-10-2012, 11:29 AM

$399 seems more realistic. Either way, I'll be waiting in the cold come October.

WanganRunner · 07-10-2012, 11:41 AM

$499 seems like a lot, considering it isn't exactly a quantum leap over a PS3 or anything.

I used to buy everything Nintendo at launch but after getting killed on the 3DS price drop a few months after launch, I'll probably wait 6-12 months on Wii U.

I'm still playing through Zelda, honestly. I'm so behind.

Daniel. · 07-10-2012, 12:08 PM

Yeah, i kinda stopped playing zelda. :/

Been playing Deus Ex, and the Mass Effect series on my new xbox instead.

The Wii U is looking less and less like it's going to be in my house unless they have some extremely compelling titles.

fullthrottle · 07-10-2012, 12:46 PM

I really like the idea of having a screen on your controller. Could be very awesome if put to the correct use in fps games and RPGs. Items and quick selecting different kinds of ammo or grenades instead of scrolling through.

I'm still playing through it as well. I'm at the very last part in the game finally. So close.

Yeah, but that doesn't mean there isn't incredible core games on Nintendo consoles. If you let the "It's for kids" or "it's for family fun" only kinda mindest you missed out on some seriously great games ie Wind Waker, Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime, Mario Galaxy just to name a few. I honestly don't give a shit about playing third party games on Nintendo consoles. I care about Nintendo's franchises. I can play Call of Halo Battlefiled Creed Post Apocalyptic World after Post Apocalyptic World games on 360 or PS3.

I'm wondering if i should preorder this at gamestop. not sure about the price, but i hear the wii u tablet controllers are going to cost $150+ by themselves. that's a good chunk of change to get a 2nd one...

They announced that gamepds will not be sold separately in the US.

So after all the announcements yesterday I'm still up in the air on whether or not I'm waiting in line for one in Nov. There just isn't a killer title for it at launch or in the launch window IMO. I might just end up waiting like I did with the PS3, even though it kills me not to support Nintendo out of the gate.

but it supports 2 tablet gamepads? how do you get another one without buying another console? i guess it will be sold separately eventually?

the game lineup is at least on par with ps3 and xbox now, even though some of the games are older except for a few (assasin's creed 3, tekken tag 2, etc.). i think this brings hope that nintendo console will at least have more mature title games offering along with their first party games.

the console specs don't overly impress me. its slightly more powerful than xbox and ps3, but those will be replaced soon. the only reason i'm thinking about getting one is to replace my obsolete wii (that I have a bunch of games for). have you heard anything about what older wii games it will play? i thought it was going to be all wii games, but the description i saw says "most wii games"

NissanEnthus · 09-14-2012, 11:38 AM

Nintendo franchise games are few and far between.....Which is why the Wii sucked, only the few franchise games were their hits. There is a sea of thousands of 3rd party garbage games.....Looks like the Wii U is heading in the same direction. 150.00 For an additional remote? Congratulations you just bought a 500.00 plus system with a good game every two or more years! I'm a Zelda fan and the Wii only had two...5 YEARS APART!

Yeah, Riggie said it won't be sold initially because non of the games hat are coming out support two gamepads so there was no reason to even offer it.

***Future240*** · 09-14-2012, 03:51 PM

Hmmm I wonder if I should pick up a few keep one and sell the rest on eBay......

***Future240*** · 09-14-2012, 04:44 PM

Multiple pre-orders. We have 3 gamestops, a Walmart, best buy and a target within 2 miles. Plus amazon, newegg etc. and family/friends.

BOROSUN · 09-14-2012, 04:49 PM

ionno...i'll wait till they have an interesting title.

im gearing up for planetside 2. starting another comp build.

Here's the company behind Nintendo TVii (spoilers: it's not Nintendo) -- Engadget

*exitspeed* · 11-03-2012, 07:02 AM

Anyone buying a Wii U on the 18th? I feel like this is the most underhyped Nintendo console in history.

I'm not even sure if I'm going to buy one or not and I'm a god damn Big N fanboy.

Pretty much every console only had two zelda games, and snes only had one. While I admit that on nintendo consoles, the nintendo franchise games are usually the best ones, in fact super mario galaxy games are some of my favorites. There are good third party games out there, you just have to find them in all the crap that gets released. Most of the games I have for the game cube are third party games.

Purestock240 · 11-03-2012, 10:07 AM

can you just take the controller with you and use it as a handheld?

No you can't.

You feel like that because it is. I have zero want for that console right now. I'm sure a zelda game will change my mind later, but right now it just doesn't feel worth the purchase.

fyneyoungstunna · 11-06-2012, 08:28 AM

So has anyone actually played the wii u, or are you all just bench racing again?

fyneyoungstunna · 11-07-2012, 11:22 PM

Wow I feel Nintendo dropped the ball on this one.
It is backwards compatible,however, the wii u will NOT upscale resolution of wii games?
Yes, you only get one game pad, but the wii-motion plus controllers work.
The new controllers look lime 360 controllers.
