It would be rather thick headed of someone to already decide not to ever buy the WiiU before the console even releases. Nobody knows what the console will be 3-5 years down the line.

That's the same tune being sung since the N64 and while that is my favourite console the line up compared to the PS1 simply was nothing.

I'm not sure. Borderline for me. The launch games do look interesting however it's the price i'm worried about. If it stays under 200 pounds then maybe. If they release a new metroid, xenoblade or samurai warriors 3 (similar like dynasty warriors/you vs pretty much an entire army) then i'd most likely get one.

I knew I wasn't buying Nintendo's next console when I returned my Wii a few years ago. Their E3 conference and statements haven't helped change my mind.

I'm on the fence about picking one up at launch or not but I'm almost certain I will get one eventually. Rayman Legends, NSMBWU, and especially Zombie U have my attention and I know many more games I will love will be on their way.

It all rides on Zombi U, from what I've seen its must have for my tastes but it could be a shallow flop. Nothing else I've seen is very interesting yet.

Nope, I'm definitely not getting one. I wasn't impressed at E3 for one, and I never was a fan of Nintendo's 1st party titles. Rayman was really the only interesting game I saw, but it's not enough to get me to buy the system. I'll just wait for the PS4 and 720.

System Wars Never Liked Nintendo.

They never liked the Gamecube when it was out, They never liked the Wii, They'll never like the WiiU.

System Wars is Nintendo Biased.

Even if Nintendo goes 3rd Party they'll still hate them.

Of course. Even though I hardly play my Wii ever, and there were big gaps at times where I wouldn't have anything to play on it, I still consider it worth buying due to the great exclusives that you can't get anywhere else. Unless you have serious money issues or just don't like Nintendo games at all, there isn't much of a reason to NOT get one at some point imo. I'm sure it'll have a solid amount of great 3rd party exclusives too such as P-100 which looks great.

It's too early to decide. But as it stands right now, the exclusives for it don't seem all that exciting. Mario/Zelda/Metroid all over again, with same gameplay etc etc. ZombiU looks interesting, but interesting enough to warrant buying a console just for that. And with the logical exclusives for the ps4 (maybe they won't be exclusives, but I doubt that) such as KH3, MGS5, propably FFvs13, holding on to see at least what's announced for that is much wiser.

No way in hell I will. Buy a glorified current gen system with "no reason to have graphics as good as Xbox 3/Ps4". Just...no. The controller is mind blowingly bad and I don't think their awesome first party is enough this time. Maybe in 5 years or more I'll pick one up for $100 or something, but that's just to play Mario. For now it's the dumbest thing Nintendo could do. All in my opinion which I know many disagree with.

People rag on MS for not enough exclusives while Nintendo hasn't put out a great new IP since Pikmin, with no signs to break that trend. Their ignorance towards older fans is painful.

I'll wait for Metroid or Zelda to be released. Well if Zelda looks too kiddy like Windwaker I'll just wait for Metroid.

Maybe they haven't done that because the last time they tried, Nintendo's fans riffed them because the old franchises weren't present? Seriously, it's stuff like that that makes me believe that Reggie Fils Aime was right to speak about this.

will be picking one up at launch, i love nintendo's first pary games and as much as system wars hates to admit it, the wii was a great stytem for playing wih people locally.

Some of the best times ive had this gen was having some friends over and playing smash bros, mario kart, wario ware smooth moves, or gasp the just dance games.

I'm buying a Wii-U, Nintendo has great 1st party exclusives and this time it looks like they are having great 3rd party titles as well (the AC devs said AC3 will be best on Wii-U).

I'm going with PS4 and Wii-U next gen, not interested in the next Xbox unless they make some changes for the better (reliable hardware next gen, free online gaming, better exclusives ect....).

The Wii-U alone will offer more reasons for me to buy one than a 360 does.

I want to get one, but it depends on the price. I'm also planning on getting a 3DS in the near future, so in that case it might be a while before I pick up a Wii U.

Maybe at 99$ will be a good buy, in 2020 or so

I dont need a pikmin machine for sure, the problem with Wii was that i waited 6 years to play a decent core game like Zelda SS or Last Story

I would never buy a WiiU at launch after Wii, only many years later and at half or lower the price

If the Wii U can get good support from 3rd party developers, I'll buy one because I find the gamepad very interesting. I can imagine a ton of new uses for the gamepad.

The mods probably knocked down his levels a bit so he wouldn't be allowed to make new threads.

Or it's just Glitch Spot again.

Why would anyone buy a console now or a launch console? Makes no sense, none of the consoles have much worth playing atm and launch games pretty consistently suck. blue_hazy_basic

Yup. Not since like the SNES or N64 days would I ever consider buying a launch console.

Ir's impossible to lose 15+ levels on this site.Usually if that happened you would be banned.Sorry for going of topic mods.
