1. A Proper Starfox game

2. An AWESOME F-Zero game

3. AN ACTUAL GODDAMN ACCOUNT SYSTEM LIKE EVERY OTHER FRIGGIN CURRENT GEN SYSTEM!!!! Honestly, the wii was so much fail because of this alone. if your system breaks (which admittedly was extremely rare) youre up screwed on online purchases...

you?

All they NEED to do is have a bunch of amazing exclusives that appeal to me, meaning core games that are not compromised. All they need is to have a Zelda game as good as OoT, MM, or WW to sell me :P.

If I was to buy one at launch:

  1. $300 max launch price
  2. Give me one game that shows the tablet has a good purpose, and I don't mean Wii Sports 2. I'd love one of Nintendo's classic franchises all purty'd up, and with great tablet integration. Pikmin 3 perhaps.
  3. Don't announce friend codes

If I was to buy one later in its life:

  1. Be exactly as the Wii is now. Have a fantastic selection of game experiences that aren't really possible to find elsewhere.

Well, my most anticipated part has already been confirmed (unified online structure with account system)


I would also like bluetooth headset capability.

The controller is a classic controller with a screen. It'll be fine.

1. Smash Bros with nice online and able to be patched. 2. Confortable controls, i dont mind having a big screen in my hands as long as its confortable and it better have R3 and L3 buttons -_- 3. Pokemon + Skyrim = Best game ever. Make it happen Nintendo To be honest 1 is enough for me. there are really only 2 literal system sellers for me and their Monster Hunter and Smash Bros

The controller looks BOSS imo, it's just a classic controller with an added touch screen for on-the-fly inventory management.

1. True next gen graphics. Not spending money on something that looks close to what i own since 05. 2. Proper controller or gtfo 3. Games. Kiddy games is okay when you have other choices but when its the only thing a system have, fak dat. 4** Online that is at least as good as PSN, if all of the above is available but you're still forced to use friend codes, not getting WiiU for sure.

They would have to do the opposite of what they did this gen....but why would they abandon the formula that dominated Sony and Microsoft?

I know Arkham City and Darksiders 2 will have Wii U ports, which is extremelly promising, but i just dont ever see Nintendo going back to the core gamers.

Better hardware

Better games and new IP's.

At this rate, its already lacking one of them so far.

You don't like reading do you?

Iwata already said that the Wii U will have a unified online structure using an account system

All developers have said that the hardware in the Wii U would be considerably more powerful than current gen systems.

Miyamoto has alraedy stated that he is working on a new Nintendo IP.

  • Reasonable Price (anything over $200 and I'll be waiting for a price drop)
  • Quality Games
  • Strong connectivity with 3DS??? (wasn't sure what to put for a third option)
  • EDIT: A strong online component as well. (This is something Nintendo needs to get on with. The 3DS is a step in the right direction at least)

Or, what would help:

  • Super Smash Bros Wii U
  • The Legend of Zelda Wii U
  • Mario Wii U

...

Those would push me towards a purchase.

Nothing, I don't plan on buying it at all in 2012. Relax before you call foul, although there really isn't much information on the next Playstation or Xbox, I feel like I'll probably get none of the three at their respective launches. Nothing I've seen or heard about the Wii-U is impressive or interesting to me.

1. A harddrive, the long talked about 8 gigs of flash memory isnt enough in this day and age. If Nintendo are gonna take online seriously this time like they claim there will be lots of DLC which we will need space for. Also the abilty to install games would be great and for me personally I like to put music on my consoles like ive done with my 360/PS3. Especially for installs, 8 gigs wont be nearly enough. 2. Gamecube controller support. Or even if they release a stand alone new wireless Gamecube controller. Two reasons for this, we will be able to download Gamecube games on the Wii-U, and also the main reason being the next Smash Bros game!! Any serious Smash player will agree, also while there at is, make the next smash more like melee and less dumbed down like Brawl. 3. An all round better online structure, eg something like a gamertag.

Since 1st party titles are a given, I will get it. Actual question is when. So, I will get it a few months later after it launches if:

1. Pikmin 3 has plasticine like graphics and it has been released.

2. Initial batch doesn't have too many malfunctions.

3. The range of the controller is good enough to use it at any place in my house.
