If those reviews are accurate looks like this game is another disappointment.

So what am I supposed to play now? Nothing good in the near future

Newsflash: Nobody cares if you were disappointed by the Wii and its awesome 1st-party games, and nobody cares if you're disappointed by the Wii U. I have also been playing Nintendo consoles for 20+ years - want a cookie?

If you were so disappointed by Nintendo last generation you shouldn't have been an early adopter of the Wii U. You should've waited and only purchased this offering if it turned out to be "less disappointing" to you than the last one.

Exactly and that is why I am getting a PS4 and spending my money there.
Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. In your narrow Nintendo fanboy mind if someone has an opinion that doesn't go with yours "nobody cares".
I got a Wii U because I was giving Nintendo one last chance. (I even said so on my introduction when I joined this forum).

"Another Wii..."

You mean the best-selling console of the generation with tons of awesome exclusives?

You mean the console full of kiddie games? I been playing Nintendo consoles for 20+ years and the Wii was a big disappointment for me. I'm tired of all the kiddie games. I am more excited for the PS4 than for my Wii U.

Hope not. I would have fallen for their marketing towards "hardcore" gamers. Lets get some perspective, however, the console has been out for 4 months. Not even half a year, out of possible 5/6 year cycles? Don't get carried away too early.

I'm not selling my Wii U. I will wait to see how it goes. But if the Wii U is going to be another Wii then I will jump ship. After being a Nintendo gamer for so long it not necessarily something I want to do, but they will leave me no choice. I am getting Need for Speed for WIi U on March, I like the extra work Criterion did on the Wii U port of this game, it looks good. I am hoping Nintendo will announce some games that appeal to me come this years E3. I would be interested in a 3D Metroid game. I am glad to hear the Wii U is getting Watch Dogs, (Disappointed there is no Bioshock Infinite even though they showed Ken Levine praising the Wii U on E3 2011).

The fact the fan boys aint ripping me apart says it all, im a fan boy and have had nintendos for over 15 years! I just cant believe tech giants at the top there game can let this happen. Heres what really bugs me,
Nintendo at the end of the wiis life obviously pitched wii u to investors, promising HD next gen graphics, like they did to us, they wanted to bring back core gamers, wowed us with clips of games (that have been canned now) and yet nobody has said "where is all this?" Win back core gamers ! What a joke, forget no gta5 theres no blooming fifa ! Mario kart aint gonna save Nintendo this time, and if heads dont roll at nintendo there properly f..........

 

I agree with all that.  I also been a loyal Nintendo gamer for the past 20+years.  I have only owned Nintendo consoles.  I am tired of missing out on all the triple A games that get released on other consoles and not on Nintendo consoles.  On E3 2011 Nintendo showed Ken Levine of Bioshock praising the Wii U, 2 years later Bioshock Infinite gets released yet we don't get a Wii U version...why?  I am tired of missing out on so many games that appeal to me, this is the reason why I am getting a PS4, it will be my first non Nintendo console I will ever own.  I will keep my Wii U for the occasional good game that might appeal to me (Retro's game, Eternal Darkness successor...).  And I also get flamed here for expressing my opinion because apparently I can't have one, I can't feel the way that I do because Nintendo can do no wrong.

 

List some games you want.

 

To name a few of the games that have been released since the Wii U launched...Crysis 3, Bioshock Infinite, Metro Last Light.  I'm not even sure we are going to get GTA5.  All those games appeal to me.

There's also other rumours among some people who worked on the game which range from QA to designers.

The game changed a lot and turned into something completely different for release because it wasn't working out.

 

That's what I mean by "barely", it was plagued by problems.

 Well all the excuses in the world can be made for each game that doesn't get released on the Wii U.  It was the same throughout the life cycle of the Wii.  I missed out on all the major triple A games because of the same excuses.

Crysis 3 was cancelled due to EA.

Bioshock was in development for years and barely got released on the platforms it did release on.

Metro was THQ published, which meant bankruptcy would dampen the possibilities.

GTA5 is unlikely, for the same reason Bioshock never happened, and tomb raider etc. Games in development with years are unlikely.

 

Nintendo could have moneyballsed them all if they wanted to though, doubt it'd pay off but they could have.

 
Bioshock Infinite barely got released on the platforms it did releason on?
I wouldn't call selling 3.7 Million units since launch "barely"...

Its no skepticism but my opinion what I believe to be the reality. Coming from a fan boy like you I expect such an immature and biased response. Incase you you have no clue this is a forum where people post their opinions and views. I have just as much right as you to post here. I suggest you stop being such a blatant fanboy and so blinded by what Nintendo does as well as believing they can do no wrong. If you don't like what others have to say then maybe you should stay away from these forums.

Agree with you completely. I also been attacked by the fanboys on this site. In their eyes Nintendo can do no wrong, and there is something wrong with me and not Nintendo. I been playing Nintendo consoles for 20+ years. The Wii was a big disappointment for me. I have a Wii U, enjoyed Zombi U but what else am I supposed to play? There nothing on the horizon and that Nintendo Direct from a few weeks ago didn't show anything that interests me. I am seriously considering getting a PS4 for the triple A games and just my Wii U for the ocassional good game that might come its way.
Where is Bioshock Infinite for Wii U? Why did they show Ken Levine praising the Wii U on E3 2011 and now we aren't getting Bioshock.
GTA5? Are we going to get it?

There is a 9 minute gameplay vid from IGN

^^ Exactly, Its all about the games not which machine has the most power or best specs. If Nintendo can produce some killer first party titles then all will be good. Don't forget Nintendo has already stated that the second a person purchases a Wii U title they have already made money even with losing out on the initial console purchase.

Not true. It takes more than one game
http://mynintendonews.com/2013/01/08/nintendo-actually-needs-to-sell-more-than-one-wii-u-game-to-profit-from-its-new-console/

The Wii U is doing games at launch that the xbox360 is doing at 7 years of its life, the Wii U is definitely more powerful than the 360.  Give it some time for the good developers to start pushing the Wii U's power.  A Metroid game from Retro would definitely look sweet.

I have Zombi U and Assassins Creed 3.  Both are good games.  Game I'm looking for in the near future the most is Aliens Colonial Marines.

No Mature Games??!?! ManHunt 2 ring a bell? I mean come on you use the nunchuck and wiimote to hold a plastic bag on someones face and slash a dudes throat with a knife. There was an over abundance of kiddie games basically a 1 out of 15 ratio.

Manhunt 2 is just one game.  Where the others?  There are less than 5 games in all the Wii's history that appeal to me.  Mario games don't appeal to me, all those shovelware crap games the Wii got don't appeal to me.

If you like kiddie games I guess you liked the Wii.  I myself are one of the ones that was really disappointed in the Wii.  No mature games that appealed to me. I have less than 5 Wii games, my Wii was a dust collector.  I am giving Nintendo one last chance but if the same thing happens with the Wii U I am jumping ship.  I am already disappointed that we wont get Bioshock Infinite.

Kiddie games? The Wii appealed to gamers of any age and it has some of the best games ever: Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Zelda Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime Trilogy and the best Monster Hunter game yet and the list goes on.

It's funny, a lot of people who appreciate quality games would never say the Mario or Zelda titles are "kiddie".

Also I see more damn kids playing Call of Duty on Xbox Live and that is supposedly a "hardcore" and "mature" game isn't it? LOL

I played all the Metroid games on gamecube.  Why did I want to play them on the Wii?  If the Wii would had been an HD console I would, but the Wii is pretty much a gamecube in the graphics department.  I have played the Zelda games on the N64 and the gamecube, and while I do think they ok they aren't my favorite games.  And I wouldn't consider them "hardcore".  As I stated before the Mario games don't appeal to me.  And I never used the term "hardcore" to begin with.  I want games that appeal to me.  I'm not a kid, I'm an adult.   And I'm not that interested in the Call of Duty games.  I might get Black Ops 2 but only for the multiplayer and zombie modes, I played one of them on the Wii and in my opinion the single game campaign wasn't anything special.

Sorry but the Wii didn't appeal to me at all.  It collected dust.  The Wii is perceived as a kids console and I agree. If it appealed to you then good for you.   All the major franchises games were never made for the Wii.  Resident evil 5 and 6, Grand Theft Auto, Bioshock, I could go on and on... if this trend continues I will jump ship.

I think what you mean, rather than "kiddie" games is mainstream mature games. Wii had some of the goriest games this generation. Mad World, Dead Space Extraction, etc. What it lacked was GTA, Red dead redemption, fall out type games. The ones that were blowing everyone away on the other consoles.
I love those games, but the Wii offered something very different than the others. I actually preferred the wii experience, but I think most were wanting a more sooped up traditional gaming experience.

Everyone of us as different tastes in games and I respect your opinion and so should you respect mine.  While you may have been happy with the Wii, I wasn't. I been gaming for over 20 years and the Wii was a big disappointment for me.  There simply weren't any good games that appealed to me on the Wii.  That just the way it was for me. I wanted to buy games for the Wii but there was simply nothing that appealed to me. That is the way i felt, you saying what your opinion is isn't going to change the way I felt.

as its been said there are mature game for the wii and if they did not appeal to you then thats fine I do respect you honest opinion.

Lets hope wii u gets the games that you want as well, I do think that if the wii U has exactly the same games on it as xbox 7?? and pS ?? then most poeple might not see why they should get a wii u at the same time they dont want to miss out on games ?
but for me my brain has been brain washed for the big N now so I am looking forward to what ever nintendo do

buy the way I want to thank every one for commenting on my post

Your welcome lol.  I am hoping the Wii U does get good 3rd party support.  I hope the Wii U will be a success, time will tell...I am hopeful lol.

Fallout on the wii u would be amazing using the pad as the pitboy hell yeah beautiful game changer



Honestly though, gamings not just about m rated games. I personally dont know what genre your into in terms of games but i promise you once you find that space the wii has a lot of games to offer in those areas. I bought the wii on release day and have been though alot with it. but i have to say that the wii out of all consoles brought a lot of fun times. From drunken mario kart to the intense skyward sword story line I have found great use of the wii, not only in events with only myself playing but to strait up having a fun time with friends. My Xbox nor PS3 has never given me as much fun with my friends.

I liked games like Goldeneye on the N64, Perfect Dark was amazing,  on the Gamecube I liked Rogue Squadron, the Timesplitters games,  I loved Timesplitters 2, the Tony Hawk games back then were good too. I liked the Resident Evil games for the gamecube, Resident evil 4 being my fav.  Wave Race, all the Metroid games for the gamecube, I really liked those.

I like Zombi U for the Wii U.  I beat it on survivor mode already.  I was looking forward to Metro Last Light and Bioshock Infinite on the Wii U (those games do appeal to me a lot), but apparently we wont get any of those.  I am looking forward to Aliens Colonial Marines, hope it will be good.  Looking forward to a Metroid game on the Wii U too, I think the gamepad will work great with a game like Metroid.

Zelda
COD personal view not as good as i wanted...
Cold Mountain
Silent Hill
The Grudge Ju-On (warning makes your insides blow out from fear)
No more heros 1
No more heros 2
Madworld (if you havent played this. do it, superb game)

I did play Madworld, I did play Silent Hill.  They were ok games.  But there really wasn't that much more.  I did play Cold Mountain too, but the controls were terrible.

Thank you Criterion for the extra work into the Wii U version of this game. Will definitely get this on day one!
(and yes I have Burnout 2 for the Gamecube, all those awesome crashes...loved it )

2) It seems the U is aimed at the more serious gamers? Does this mean new activity games will be forgotten, and everything will be battlefield games (sorry, I don't know the names of the titles).
 

 

 

Nope, it the same kiddie game console the Wii was.  I already have missed multiple triple A games since the Wii U launched.  No Metro Last Light, No Crysis 3, No Bioshock Infinite and probably no GTA5.  

If having a bunch of excessively violent M rated games makes something more mature and adult, then that is just sad. As much as I enjoy Gears of War and Bioshock, I don't believe that not having those sorts of games makes something 'kiddie.' 

  Well, as I have said before, I been gaming on Nintendo consoles all my life.  The Wii was a big disappointment for me.  For the first time in my life I am getting a non Nintendo console (a PS4).  I am tired of missing out on all the triple A games that I never got a chance to play due to them not being released on Nintendo consoles. I'm not interested in Mario, Pokemon, Kirby and whatnot games.  I'm an adult, those games don't appeal to me at all.  Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and that is the way that I feel.  But each time I state my personal opinion I get flamed here because apparently I can't have one.  I will keep my Wii U for the occasional good game that appeals to me that might come its way.

You are certainly entitled to your own opinion. I hope you don't think my reply was an attempt to flame you, because that's not how I intended it. I just disagree with what you say, that's all. I can understand the appeal of games that you never get to play. That's why I bought a 360 last time around. However, I am an adult as well and I love Pokemon and Mario. No shame in that.

I didn't take your reply as a flame at me.  But many  times that I have stated my opinion I have gotten flamed and attacked here (like if I was some "troll" that never played Nintendo games, when I probably been gaming longer than a lot of those people attacking me have).  I loved playing Goldeneye on the N64, Perfect Dark, Wave Race, 1080 (I liked Wave Race and 1080 for example, it not like if all games that appeal to me have to be mature).  I liked the Gamecube... Eternal Darkness,Timespliters 2, all the Metroid games, even the Tony Hawk games, I have dozens of games). I been gaming for years.  I was disappointed with the Wii, not many games appealed to me.

  That is also for example when I say Mario or Pokemon or whatever games don't appeal to me,I'm not saying they wont appeal to others, or that they are "bad games".  They just don't appeal to me.   There lots of games that do appeal to me that I have missed out on, and I am tired of that.  (and I did miss out because I was a loyal Nintendo gamer).  I liked Zombi U, currently I am playing Resident Evil Revelations also on Wii U.  I would have liked to play all those games I mentioned on my post above but they didn't get released on the Wii U so I missed out on them.  Right now the only thing I look forward to on E3 is Retro's game and probably Bayonetta 2(and I hope it is Metroid or a new IP  that appeals to me), all the other things they have showed don't appeal to me.  I hope they have some surprises.

They have done a terrible job.  Why they show Ken Levine at E3 2011 praising the Wii U and 2 years later we aren't getting Bioshock Infinite.  I am tired of misssing out on so many games that appeal to me.  I am getting a PS4 for the triple AAA games and my Wii U for the ocassional good game that might come its way.

I actually been doing that all my life (buying 3rd party games on Nintendo systems).  I only have owned Nintendo consoles and most of the games I have are 3rd party games.  A lot of the Nintendo games don't appeal to me  ( I don't care about Mario games and Kirby games and Pokemon and etc). I do have some first party Nintendo games.(I have Wave Race on the N64 and Gamecube, 1080,  Goldeneye was published by Nintendo,Perfect Dark, etc).   I like mature games that appeal to me.  The Wii was a big disappointment for me , because not many games on it appealed to me.  But I am tired of missing out on all the triple A games that don't get released on Nintendo consoles, so I already made my mind and will get a PS4, (it will be the first non Nintendo console I will get in my 20+ years of owning only Nintendo consoles.)  And I been saying this since I joined this forum  ( I said so on my introduction when I joined this forum), but each time I give my personal opinion on this site I get trolled and flamed and attacked by everyone because apparently I can't have my own opinion and I can't feel the way that I do.  I feel Nintendo is out of touch with the type of games that I like, that just the way that I feel, it is my opinion and I am entitled to one.  I hope Retro Studios is working on a Metroid game or at least a new IP of a mature game that appeals to me.
