The Wii U has no BUZZ

Seriously, the Wii U has no hype behind it.

It's coming out this year and most people don't care for it.

Not having an online service that rivals its competitors doesn't help either for people buying the system expecting to play online games.

With very few launch titles that aren't on other platforms and a successor to a system that most people considered mediocre(the Wii) it makes sense as to why the Wii U has no BUZZ.

Another poor attempt at trolling.

After the ad campaign starts up after Sep. 13th we will have a better idea if there is buzz or not.

Remind us again why you hate Nintendo and the WiiU so much? You've don't so many anti-Nintendo threads that I've forgotten.

How dare they promote people playing video games together! Oh the humanity.

Only on System Wars will Nintendo fanboys ever so claim ownage by making post that have nothing to do with the topic at hand.

I say why Nintendo isn't good and rarely ever get a revelant counter argument.

It's a casual gaming way of advertising, like the Wii.

Meaning it SUCKS for YOU the GAMER.

I stopped caring about Nintendo when they released the original Wii.

Same here dude, even camped out for the Wii at launch.

Defended the Gamecube so hard back in the day as it was a truely underrated console.

The Wii is the opposite, completely overrated and has terrible games with the occasional good 1st party game once every 6-8 months.

How dare they challenge the onslaught of online gaming! How dare they force us to play together in the same room like the old days! :evil:

I see.

While I'm a little worried that not a single one of my friends seems to give a crap about the WiiU. I'll let Nintendo do Nintendo and watch what they pull off. I thought the 3ds was going to tank and that is doing just fine.

Does that mean when I see Kinect and Move commercials that I should start hating Microsoft and Sony too?

Can you blame your friends not getting hyped about the Wii?

The Wii doesn't have a killer app, as in an IP that we haven't seen a million times.

What people would like to see from Nintendo is a shooter, yes a shooter that blows Halo, Killzone, and Resistance a way.

Nintendo needs to step into the modern day, honestly.

They'll have to work hard to convince many people that it's worth buying.

Shall I show you a list of known good shooters that outsell and garner more hype than the next Zelda game by 10:1?Zlychop

You're lucky that you can troll again.

[QUOTE="Zlychop"][QUOTE="Michael0134567"] So that means people only care about shooters?I see.Michael0134567

Pretty much, Nintendo needs an IP that will make people who own other consoles waiting for the PS4/Xbox 3 to be like "I need to get a Wii U"

In other words a Halo type of game that grabs a hold of the masses, this time being gamers since the casuals aren't coming back.

but why can't we have a company that does something different, rather than just making another FPS? also if the game is not Call of Duty or Battlefield, it's not going to sell anywhere near those titles. plus while nintendo is making that FPS, they need to make a football game as well, as they sell the most in the UK

[QUOTE="Michael0134567"][QUOTE="Zlychop"] It does not mean people only care about shooters, but shooters help define the console. Look what Halo CE did to the Xbox. There has to be 1 big game that people actually care about and play, no Nintendo IP really does that. You will say Mario! But really, never seen someone who wasn't a kid even mention Mario in a discussion of games.Zlychop

I agree with your first point, but I don't see shooters as an answer. In my opinion, they are just as oversaturated as some of Nintendos more popular IPs.

I want to see something new! No matter the genre so long as it's refreshing and fun.

I'm sure it will have a lot of stuf like this.

It's way too early to judge the buzz that surrounding the Wii U. Right now, there's no price, several details are still unannounced, and there is no clear idea of the games that are coming to the system in 2013. Wait until September 13th before people start saying the Wii U has no buzz. For all we know, Nintendo could announce games like a new Wii U F-Zero, Star Fox, 3-D Mario, Zelda, exclusive third-party titles, and a fairly low launch price point. The reason for the lack of hype is not due to a lack of interest, its due to Nintendo's refusal to reveal much of anything.

it was obvious from their E3 press confrence that they held back. They did not show off any titles that are planned for 2013, and they avoided telling us the price point of the system.

The hype machine could easily pick up come September 13th if Nintendo shows us their hand. For all we know, Kingdom Hearts 3, Final Fantasy XV, and other third-party games could be announced as exclusives and Nintendo could make their fans excited by showing off F-Zero, Star Fox, and a new 3-D Mario.

Its way too early to tell what will happen. Nintendo has been quiet about the Wii U, so there is little hype at this point. But if their Sept 13th conference blows us away, the hype for the Wii U will build. Its all in Nintendo's hands, and its simply too hazy to tell either way.
