So regarding my list of games, I had to make do with what I had... like, Watch Dogs was sold out, and sometimes I also might be gaming in front of kids.

 

I also wanted to experience the games now, not some time in the future. Sunset Overdrive and Scalebound are too far away for me. But I did pre-order Halo Master Chief Collection.

 

Zoo Tycoon seemed cool because it's a game not on PS4. And having played it now, I'd also say it's alright.

Zoo Tycoon (actually a good game)

That new UFC fighter by EA

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Kinect Sports Rivals

Regarding Kinect Sports Rivals, I love the idea of motion gaming. And I wanted something to test the Kinect 2 on, really test it. Spider-Man was just something I threw in on a whim, but I like the game having started playing it.

Yeah, if there was any platform, anywhere, in existence, that had quality games of the genres I have been mostly denied for the past.... 11 years... I would definately cave to the instant gratification instead of waiting another year for the ones Im waiting for on wii u.


But... Thats only if that happened.

Dont you feel you deserved a little better than 'It's all right'?

I mean, I feel bad. I want things to go back to being as great as they were. But at least I GOT TO experience games when every system had something mind blowing. Generation after generation. I couldnt IMAGINE not having all systems back then. The games were just so worth it.

But now, youve gone from not having anything to play on one system to selling it for another system and all you get out of it is 'all right'.

Its horrible.

Wii U holding you hostage?

 

 

This topic so far lol.

[BrosBeforeGardenTools]

So according to you guys, I:

 

1. Should have kept my Wii U

2. If I did sell it, to choose more quality titles like Sunset Overdrive, etc

 

Did I mention I got more for my Wii U than I thought I would? That right there is pretty much enough for me. I took a chance on some of the games, but they turned out pretty good

Well I am glad you got a good value for the wii u, I was afraid it would be ratjer abysmal.

I just wish there was something really really exciting for you. Im glad they turned out 'pretty good'.

But man, back in the early 2000's with the cube, ps2, xbox, or any gen before, I could find anyone, selling any system mind rending games for whatever platform and price they wanted to put the money towards.

Now youve got 'its all right' and 'turned out pretty good'. And Ive got absolutely nothing I can suggest thats not way out in the future.

[BrosBeforeGardenTools]

I actually think I understand where 3Dude is going with this. And I might agree with it. However in any case, I am happy. I really, really like the Xbox One. All you will probably hear out of me is "pretty good" and "alright" unless I get a 10/10 game, because I'm pretty objective. But 3Dude is still right. We do see some problems on Xbox One and maybe PS4. I think all consoles have their problems.

 

Looking back on it, maybe it wasn't the wisest decision trading my Wii U. But what I did isn't completely permanent - I mean if I start to miss the Wii U, I can buy a new one.

Call up the place where you traded the wii u in at and see how much they'll give you for the following games:

 

Zoo Tycoon (actually a good game)

That new UFC fighter by EA

The Amazing Spider-Man 2

Kinect Sports Rivals

I'd ballpark $100 or less. Where you going with this?

To see if i can pick that Wii U of yours up for a good price. 

[BrosBeforeGardenTools]

Anyway guys, I should tell you what I "got" for the Wii U, for discussion purposes. I traded:

 

Wii U 32GB
Nintendo Land
Wii Fit U
Wii Motion Plus controller
Wii U Pro controller

 

Got $205 tradein credit, with sales tax paid on that $205, and also got enough points for a $10 off coupon.

No wonder you didn't like your Wii U....You had Nintendo Land and Wii Fit U

 

I realllllly hope you had given other (actual) games a try before abandoning it so quickly; Owning a Wii U with just those 2 games would be like owning an Xbox One with Kinect Rivals and Zoo Tyc...Oh wait....this is awkward o_o

Haha.

 

I tried Zelda Wind Waker, Mario 3D World, Sonic Lost World, the 2D Mario with the Luigi DLC...

See you in 2015

 

If this sell 100 to 500k, then the hype would be lulz worthy. 

[LinkKennedy]

Well at least you got what you wanted, plus the X1 ain't a bad system(I own all 3 current systems) and the future looks bright for all of em.

Why, what do sales have to do with whether a games quality is worth the hype it generated?

The entire gaming landscape today is full of morons who are so incredibly stupid they cant differentiate a great game from their bum hole, and are kept that way by a publisher owned games media doing everything in their power to keep them docile and indoctrinated.

A games quality has never reliably been correlated with sales.

But it should do all right, Xenoblade has already undoubtedly sold over a million (Probably closer to two), with the fourth reprint now out in stores, and people still buying it and having their minds blown that there could be more to gaming than the constant flow of crap publishers constantly spew out today would lead them to believe.

with the vast majority being sold in NA, and that was only available in one single store, and mostly for 90 bucks a pop.

Sucks to see you leave the Wii U flock and I hope we see you back again next year when the E3 games will be out
