Your Reason to buy WiiU?

In your opinion, what do you think what be a good reason to buy the WiiU, that is if you plan on buying it.

There's only 1 reason that I would,

If Nintendo adds Gamecube games to the virtual console.

But I've got no idea if the WiiU and the Wii's VC'll be connected, and there are also countless rumors that the WiiU'll bring GC to VC

It's Nintendo's new console. I'm buying. Everything after first party is pure gravy.

Pretty much what everyone else has said. I purchase Nintendo hardware to play Nintendo games.

multiplat games taht arent ruined or cripppled but run better and smoother without burning 100000000000000000000000's of KWatts of power like most gaming rigs.

My reason to getting the WiiU?

It might be something to do with 1st and 2nd party games... yes I think that might be it.

Better 3rd-party support

I've got a GameCube, with many 1st party and great 3rd party games.

It's just some of the cult classics are hard to find and/or very expensive nowadays, so by adding GC to VC, it's making GC games way easier to obtain.

Software. Like any of Nintendo's console post-N64, which were usually 'weaker' hardware-wise than their counterparts, I'll be getting the WiiU because of the Nintendo exclusives. The innovative controls in the Wii played a big part in my purcashing of the console, of course -- I love motion controls if they're tied to good games (as in, Skyward Sword or Red Steel 2, not Star Wars for Kinect!). I'm not sure the tablet-thingy the WiiU has for a controller will appeal to me - it seems much more a gimmick than the big change motion controls were, for instance - but I'll still pick it up to see the new Metroids, Marios, Zeldas, Donkey Kongs, Kirbies and whatever new exclusive games they release :) .

Well we skipped on getting a Wii. (my gf and I)

We both grew up playing awesome games on older Nintendo systems. (NES, SNES, N64) So we would like to have the backlog (VC) of a lot of those older titles to share with one another, also maybe try some we never got a chance to back then.

I Also want to play newer Zelda, Mario games that were on the Wii (which we never got to play), As well as the inevitable awesome Zelda, Mario, Mario kart WiiU titles.

The controller intrigues me, I also feel it would be fun for everyone in the house to play.

Something in me sparks, like when I was a kid looking forward to the N-64, when I look forward to the WiiU.

So all in all, we are getting it for several generations of gaming, even before we get into the WiiU's actual title lineup.

I also feel the the ps3 and 360 graphics are good enough in my opinion, I just wish the performance was a little better, which is what I am hoping for in the WiiU, more so than better graphics.

I have always bought nintendo consoles and will countiune to do so I love every nintendo made game and my mom is going to be nice enough to get it for me with 2 games. Also for the gamecube VC and the great third party support they are getting wii-u will porlly be my only conolse next gen of choice.

Nintendo games. There's really no other reason to buy a piece of Nintendo hardware at this point, although it also means the WiiU will be (like the Wii) a supplementary console rather than a primary one.DJ_Lae

Spot on.

As of the time of typing this, I have no reason to buy the WiiU. The information that would prompt me to make the decision to buy the system is either scarce or non-existent at the moment. Without knowing how much it'll cost, what it'll eventually do, and what games that will be available to appeal to me, there's no incentive to consider buying the WiiU at this very moment.

Sure, I could use the tried-and-true "I've been a Nintendo fan for *this many* years, have all the other consoles, etc." speech, but for all I know, I could be verbally signing up for a $599 USD system that features games where I'm reenacting ancient Japanese battles with Giant Enemy Crabs. A dramatization? Probably, but I'd still rather not risk it. Not to mention that the 3DS hasn't done a whole lot to get me excited about Nintendo's direction of late, so unless something ground-breaking comes around, I could be sitting it out for a good while.

Hope this answers your question, TC. :P

For me it is all about the games. I'll hold out for the first year or so and see what direciton its game library is heading in.

GCN virtual console with Pikmin 2 (with some add-on to use my GCN controllers).

Period.

Its made by Nintendo and I am a Nintendo fanboy, thus there is no question pertaining to the buy.
