A little info on what you like would help us help you find new experiences to love (And not just for wii u....)

For Wii u right now there is a lot of truly high quality stuff. Truly truly high quality stuff.

For skill based action games, Wonderful 101 and Bayonetta 2 are some of the best in the genre.... Ever. The games are chock full of content and replayability, with tons of unlocks, and reasons to replay levels again (And find new things you couldnt before).

Hyrule warriors is an action based romp with lots of meaty content.

Mario Lart 8 is a fantastic kart racer, even if you are single player only (although the wii u has free online gaming, so if you have internet, you can play with others). The track design is... Most unlike most racers you have played, and is very entertaining, even without the zany combat antics.

Captain Toad is a fantastic looking puzzle platformer with aastounding production values and visual design.

If you need your exploration adventure itch scratched... We still have some waiting to do, but man does it look like it will be worth it, Xenoblade chronicles X, and Zelda Wii u look amazing, and to be coming out within the next year or two.

You must have been living under a rock if you haven't heard about the first two. That said their lead platform was PC where most of the focus was so unless you're a big PC game player you probably wouldn't have heard much about them. I saw a half hour demo presentation for it back in August and it's definitely turning out to be an epic RPG. With the power of the PS4 and Xbox One it's also going to port over to consoles far better.

I wish this pr BS from MS and Sony had any truth to it.

If the game remained PC only where it belonged, it would be even better looking. The game already suffered a downgrade at the hands of parity for the pathetic ms and sony 'high end' consoles.

Hell, if the game remained PC and with an actual game company publisher like Atari, it probably wouldnt be suffering from its pathetic console-esque design shortcomings right now either.

That pathetic combat.... Such a shame...

PC, needs to become PC only again. Shake off the Parasites...

I dont think nintendo would ever do that.
 
They just have to give a more powerful IBM cpu... A 3 core 4 thread per core cpu, would be enough  or 4 cores 16 threads.
 
IBM cpus have 4 threads per core.  So a 4 core IBM cpu is like 16 cores for amd.  But Nintendo cut wii U cpu down, they cheaped it very much. So its not the IBM we should blame here or to consider IBM as a weak cpu.
 
We have to blame 2 things for why wii U lucks in 3rd games..
 
1) Nintendo play safe and they end up without 3rd games. Also nintendo cares allot of making profit from hardware. Cheap hardware and sell it very expensive. Thats what they did with gamecube and wii....
2) Gaming companies, cheap productions costs at maximum.  They create 1 game and they just look to do easy porting, to make more profits.  That is why they dont support wii U.

I will definitely buy this eventually. It wasn't at the top of my last because I'm just not very good at combo-based action games

Fair enough. The quote is still making it sound like this isn't something that LoZ has a history of and that open worlds were invented by Bethesda

Also, I wouldn't call this Link's attire "very different." It looks to me like the Outset Island attire from Wind Waker without the lobster pattern on the front.

They are damn good.

I feel kind of bad for how harsh I have been on the Witcher 3, in that I dont think ive made it explicit enough I am convinced these shortcomings that are bothering me so are the direct results of the interference of the publisher, making sure the game conforms to 'the list', and not aimed at Cd-projekt (One of the unspoken reasons I think they are so keen to put an end to the franchise now, its no longer REALLY in their control anymore).

That, combined with this being the last, is why I am so dissapointed in what ive seen (Not talking about the downgrade, the game is still gorgeous). Somehow, whenever people like cd projekt end up getting a modern publisher, things that should be pure gold end up guilded instead....

*Looks at what Activision did to bungie*  

The art staff is still completely aces though. What a gorgeous looking world. I just don't like the game design direction, their self comparison to monster hunter/dragons dogma hyped, and then devastated me. I feel like I can literally see the scene: the suit is being shown this amazing beasty hunt and fight gameplay footage, and then saying 'No, the dum dums need to be able to play this. Make it like the rest of the aaaaaaaaaa games.' And then... the griffon hunt demo....

I like your thinking. I just don't know how Nintendo can get popular again, although I feel they should be popular since they have games with actual entertainment value.
More advertising could certainly help, but gamers these days don't even consider Nintendo as a viable alternative and instead scoff and claim it is kiddy.

So how long do you think until Platinum's contract runs out with Nintendo so they can release Bayo 2 on PS4 and make up all the money they sunk into the Wii U release?

This is clearly Roys revenge.....
