Hell no. I probably won't be buying a Nintendo system ever again. After their lackluster showing with the Wii, it is clear to me that this new Nintendo is done. They have turned into the Justin Beiber of the video game industry..except they actually have a feew hits here and there.

Europe has to wait a month so I will gauge how the console is based on the Japan and North America reviews and make my decision from there.

The Justin Beiber of the video games industry? You mean Young, Rich and Successful and hated by those who are jealous of there success? Sound about right.

Nope, I doubt I'll ever buy any system day one. But as of now, I don't really have any plans to buy a WiiU, at least not until the next Zelda or Metroid is released.

Haha! Nice one. On topic: Definitely buying it day one also Nintendo made a bunch of games I enjoyed this gen and with a more powerful system and their creativity I'm sure they can pump out some classics even if the next box and PS4 are much stronger.

No I meant, talentless, rich, successful and loved by little kids. I am not jealous of their success, I am mad that their success is keeping them on the casual path because I loved their games a lot. But its k, saves me money from now on. lol

Even though i have trashed the Wii U in the past, the kid in me is still interested. Here is what I am thinking......If the Wii U is priced $299.99 or less I will pre-order 2. Then sell one to cover at least half of the Wii U's price. Though I'm not sure there will be a crazy demand as with the Wii. Worse case I just return one or both!

I'm aiming to get the Wii U day one. Mainly for Pikmin 3, but New Super Mario Bros. U, Project P-100, and Rayman Legends all look really good. This is the strongest launch lineup I've seen in a while actually

Definitely not getting Wii U day 1. Nothing looks absolutely fantastic to me for launch. I'll end up getting it way down the line when it has more games to play. Until then, I'll just keep gaming on my PC :P.

Well, we have a difference of an opinion, especially concerning why franchises shouldn't be on a new gaming console. The more the merrier, that is what makes a console sale; diversity in software. Instead change all of those no's to yes. :)

The WiiU currently lacks a must-play (like Twilight Princess) or something novel and exciting (Wii Sports). So, unlike the Wii, I don't think I'll be purchasing a Wii U day one. ... I will eventually, thought!

Yeah probably. I'm interested in Pikmin 3, P100, ZombieU and Rayman Legends so there is a lot to keep me going! No doubt I'll grab some of the multi plats on it too.

If Pikmin 3 is a day one title, then I'll get it day one. Basically I'll get a WiiU when Pikmin 3 is released.

Pikmin is, almost by definition, the opposite of casual. It's very much a niche game, To answer the OP's question: Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends, and Project P-100. At least one of those have to release at launch, and the rest have to be in the launch window, then I'll get a WiiU day one. In other words, yes, I'm getting a WiiU. I'm also having a "wait-and-see" attitude towards ZombiU and NSMBU.

I am buying the Wii U on day one. Hope to camp outside a store in the early morning hours to be the first one in line to grab one. :-)

I know no one has announced any midnight launch, but if the Wii U release date is near Black Friday, that won't matter. You pretty much have to wait outside at midnight then. If it's not, I can do it anyway because I'm awesome!

No. I don't have the money to get one and even if I did have the money to get one I would wait a while because there's not enough games that coming out for it right now that I am interested in.

At this point I wont be buying it at all, there is literally nothing appealing about the system or its launch window games for me. The uses for the tablet that we've been shown look really tacked on and shallow, even from Nintendo's outings so far. But as always, teh gamez will decide, unfortunately nothing right now is a must have... Once Retro and Monolith Soft show their hands though, maybe my excitement will spike.

I get why you would, all the hype and excitement for the new console, but if you get past that it's a poor decision.

No or next to no games worth buying (though I admit, I don't actually know what it's launching with, probably not much) and all those 1st batch hardware issues that are bound to happen.

Not to mention all the games from current systems you have to play already.

Best thing to do, wait a year or so to get caught up and let the issues of the new system get ironed out, and also for the system to build up a substantial library.

For me it probably has most to do with how much cash I have to throw around in november and how much this thing will actually cost.

I'm intrigued by the mario admittedly and rayman legends but the game thats going to probably be the system seller for me is Zombie U and the more I'm hearing about this game the more I'm loving.

Now while buying a system for basically one game people would argue is pretty silly the way I see it I can only play one game on the system at a time and personally I like to be into only one at a time to get the full experience. Hopefully when I'm done with Zombie U something else that sparks my interest will be on the shelves. For me its pretty damn safe to assume theres going to be at least a handful of other games on nintendo's hardware I'm going to be into.

Even if I could spare extra money for it I always wait a good year before purchasing new hardware. Usually by that time, price is better, bundles are out and hardware issues get decently sorted out.

Games that are originally released are also cheaper and there is a solid game library to purchase.

When that happens I will gladly purchase WiiU, the same goes for PS4. I'm in no rush, the backlog of current generation games I still have to play is will last me long time to finish.
