I'm playing some NSMBU before class. Just got done with Soda Jungle's secret level. Died a few times cause I didn't know wtf to do.

Didn't know what to do? You run, jump, avoid falling into holes... until you get to the flag pole.

On topic, I already have one.

Something tells me I will eventually get one.

If Ninty gets their sh*t together with Third party support and exclusive IP's...a purchase will be in the works. :P

Probably

I need a

  1. Price Drop
  2. Bayonetta 2 out
  3. Pikmin 3 out
  4. Wonderful 101 out

StrongBlackVine

Why a price drop?

Because 300-350 for that system is
A: laughable at best
B: a price drop is coming sooner or later, and I hate that feeling where I buy a system and like in a few weeks the stupid thing has a price cut

Pigs will fly before that happens.

The 3DS exists as proof that Nintendo is capable of turning the tables and deliver legitness.

But who knows man.

Handheld space there isn't much of an option for third parties. As much as they would want to work on a vita, they can't financially justify it. I'd imagine making a 3DS game is cheaper(considering the lack of horse power in comparison), the system has a larger userbase, and the userbase on that system has supported third parties well enough. Basically it's a product of Nintendo's full on dominance in the handheld spae, and less to do with anything

Nintendo actually did for third parties On consoles? They have actual successful competition. While they kept losing in pure hardware sales, on a purely software front the PS3/360/PC combo offered them sales that the Wii absolutely couldn't deliver on. Hence it requires more effort on Nintendo's part to actually get third party(see them doing stuff with Platinum).

So unless Sony and Microsoft go out of their way to team up to make Nintendo competitive themselves I do not see pigs flying anytime soon.

As for new IPs? their current model seems to be they still do their franchises: their smaller teams do some unique wiiware stuff, and maybe they pick up some third party stuff for a big retail ip. Nintendo actually putting one of their go to teams on something that isn't a Nintendo franchise? At this point that's not happening anytime soon either.

     i come to this forum a lot and rarely post all. I see that a lot of people talk about the wii u not being successful and saying they will never get it. i thought the PS Vita was going to fail for being released in a market mainly dominated by the mobile devices and the ds thinking i should not get it since it will be a waste of money. When the system released i still ended up buying the system. i didnt buy it for the graphics or the brand it carried (well a tiny bit on the graphics and that i was days away from deploying to afghanistan) but i bought it for the fact that i must own all systems that i can possibly own. i realy didnt like the playstation 3 when it first released thinking that it was too expensive and lacked the games at the time but i eventually got the system when i managed to save money (granted i was in iraq and saving quiet a bit). Same thing with the first xbox, i didnt know much about microsoft's ability on the console race and didnt have a reason to buy it since i had a ps2, but a year after it launched i got the system. i got these systems to exerience the games that they offered. Now here is the wii u and i see it doesnt have much games and people say its too over priced for the hardware and so do i. eventualy i will get the system for the simple fact that the gamer in me wants to have it. now as for loyalty for the brand i am an xbox fan and will support the 360 for its services it offers. does that means that i will bash on the other systems? yes (but not like they do here) i still support the PS3, Vita, nintendo DS, and PC (i currently have an asus g73jh for the barracks and a gaming deskto that makes that laptop feel like its in the stone age back at home) because the gamer in me wants to support them.  

 

now what i want to ask you is do any of you feel the same like me and will eventually get it or will you guys shun it for all eternity?

ZombiU was not  a very good game. It was average. Now if ZombieU was amazing, must have Zombie game, WiiU would look a little bit more attractive to a lot of hardcore gamers right now.

I'm not talking about ZombiU being good or bad, he's saying that the WiiU is for children while it has games not for children ZombiU diversifies people

 

OMG 1 game makes such a HUGE difference... The Wii U has Zombie U and 2 more games that aren't aimed at children!  :shock:

Holding out to see what the price of the PS4 is or if it will do super dumb online DRM kind of stuff.  If the PS4 is actually legit, I'll get a WiiU down the line.  If PS4 is all screwed up and douchey and charges for online gaming...  Then I'll get a WiiU immediately.

No. Pretty much because of what was brought up on Rev3Games. Between the 3DS and the WiiU it just brings the question, why get the WiiU when you can get the 3DS. Where Nintendo even said that 2013 is suppose to be the best year for the 4DS (for games).


I agree with them. I haven't seen a single game I would want to play on the WiiU, while the 3DS actually has a good library and is getting some great games for this year.

I already have one, along with Nintendoland, New Super Mario Bros U, and Sonic and All-Stars Racing Transformed. Looking to pick up ZombiU, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and LEGO City Undercover. Haven't decided which version of Monster Hunter 3 to get, though. It's been a slow start and it looks like I probably paid too much (can't imagine there not being a price drop this year) but I don't regret the purchase. NSMBU is way, way better than NSMB on Wii, DS, or 3DS. Like, way better.

Nope, unless they make a pokemon game with the same animations as Ni No Kuni, of course it wont happen since this is Nintendo so if they wont bother then i wont bother with them either.

They need at least 5 exclusive games that don't involve typical Nintendo Characters that I would love to play.

5 Awesome games that feature Nintendo Characters (Zelda, 3D Mario, ect).

They also need a price drop to $175.

 

If they can do that, that I might consider it

Getting the Wii U right now is like getting a Corvette without gas. It's pretty, sleek and has potential but you can't do anything with it.

I thought it was a great game. Played through it once and on my 2nd playthrough. It's not perfect, but no game is. It is the most pure survival horror in terms of a zombie apocalypse that you're going to find right now. You actually feel as though you are trying to survive. That's my opinion anyway. Took 14 hours my first time through so it's also a lengthy game. I hope they make a sequel personally.

As for the original TC's post and this "kiddy" comment, I already own a Wii U (obviously) and am playing it more than my 360/PS3. The guy with the kiddy comments seems to be an insecure 33 year old that hasn't quite grown up from the age of 17.

Yeah but everyone is entitled to their own opinion but then again if he is in his 30s and thinks he is too mature for Nintendo games, why is he in system wars then?
