I bought one like a month before Monster Hunter 3U came out and it was extremely worth it. Now that various GOTYs have been released it is more so.

I thought the Wii U was going to be a big box of fail aids, but I bought the windwaker bundle last year, and hell. It's great. I had to suffer through my friend making fun of me for 6 solid months for it, but now they also own one. Who's laughing now?

I agree with OP.

The WiiU is a great console with great value, especially if you have family or friends to play games with.

as long as you don't have to actually use it as a hold-in-your-hands controller imo, just a biiiit too heavy for that (that or i have lame girly wrists, either or)

great for like maps, ui, etc though!

it's just an oversized second DS screen.

I still want them to patch out the need for the tablet to be on when you start up the console or want to select games/menus. They should give the pro controller the same function so the system isn't tethered to the tablet and needs two separate outlets. I mean it's just as annoying as the Wii being unable to use the menus or to start a game without the wiimote despite the game needing the controller or the gamecube controller.

You'd think after so many years a hot new company would show up and school the old dinosaur. Several of them have in terms of market share, but none in constantly good games.

It took 3 years for the Wii-U to have a somewhat consistant stream of games.

How long do you think it'll take for the xbone or PS4 to get going, because they have less than where the Wii U was standing this far in. Y'know, considering they came out actually more like half a year after.

Probably still quite a while. PS4 will probably start to pick up around Summer next year. I don't know if the xbone ever will, to be honest.

No, considering that loving Compile Heart of all companies is taking pre-orders for garbage being released towards 2016 already. You can count what's coming up in January to April.

Which is still not 3 years, or even 2.5, after the launch of the Nintendo Wii U Home Entertainment Console.

And has also not happened yet, regardless, so using the past tense is dumb.

Whatever

They still need to pimp whatever else is coming for the system because you have announced releases you can count on a single hand. There's like nothing coming in the first three months of 2015, even counting exclusives.

I mean if Compile Heart can announce their gay rear end magic elf game, Nintendo could have more stuff out for their own proper magical elf game.


Lord help them if Zelda Wii-U comes with a special edition only at NYC though, it costs me 40+ bucks in tolls and they just upped the mass transit fare again.

I don't know what Compile Heart is.

Also I don't understand why they only have their Nintendo World store in NYC when their HQ is in the Seattle area. You think they'd at least have one here too.

East Coast really does not have a ton of presence with big deal videogame guys outside of Rockstar and the satellite offices of major companies.

Yeah it is weird that the Nintendo World Store is located only there, but IIRC it was a Pokémon center before it became the Nintendo store.

What are people going to do about Nintendo not making GBS threads out a game every couple of months? Go buy games on the other consoles instead? There's a bit of a problem with that.

They have until next holiday season to really get people to start buying the consoles.

Wii U is pretty much relegated to Gamecube 2.0 but that isn't necessarily a bad thing (except that the Gamecube was powerful relative to its competition)
