Eh I should just wait a few days I guess but I guess I'll edit this after E3. Also I should mention this will be a Xmas gift but it'll probably technically be bought on launch day or Black Friday, so close enough.

Although I want a first party title... I'm not too into Mario games. I was really hoping for Pikmin 3 at launch, but with all the rumours against it, I'm left unsure. Are games made by Retro second party? Cause they're probably making something I like. I love Starfox, so I'm hoping it's that. @_@

I also kinda want to get at least one third party too. I like the Alien movies but that game got pushed back. Was kinda hoping to have fun trying out a more "hardcore" title, as I've never really played a true FPS before. I forgot what happened to Killer Freaks. But it looked like a nice silly game to play. Haha, I'm just cursed or something. I'm sure Nintendo will announce a few games that I'll like, however, since they're promising they won't have another 3DS situation. Then there's always that Cloudberry Kingdom thing, if the online shop is available day one.

As for accessories, probably a pink protective controller skin and nothing else. I'm never able to play with anyone irl so no use getting a second controller. :( Hopefully my friends will buy their own to make it at least possible though. If I have to choose between a black and white console, I'd probably choose white. I really like the Wii's aesthetics.

Okay. Now that we've found out basically everything...
  • White Wii U
  • Possibly the Pro Controller, in white (might wait for it to drop in price first since most launch games should heavily use the Game Pad)
  • Pikmin 3
  • ZombiU?
  • Even less sure for a third game but maybe Rayman Legends or Scribblenauts.

Well I'm either going to add a Pro Controller, NSMB U and Rayman to my list...or I'm going to change my entire list to "nothing." Will probably still pre-order the system and give Nintendo the benefit the doubt leading up to the release, but if the rest of the time between now and the release is anything like E3 was, I probably won't be spending the money right away. I'm not a Pikman fan, and I'm not about to buy a system for 3rd party titles I can already get on the 360 and PS3 I own.

No wow factor any way you spin it so far. I still don't even know if I'd bother using the Gamepad now that they're offering the Pro Controller.

I'm gonna get a black Wii U with NSMB and Pikmin. That's all I know for now. Now I'm just wondering when we can pre-order the Wii U.

The Joestars always have a strategy. And that is to...

Guys there is a rumor Nintendo will not have the black one at launch... If so I won't be getting it at launch. The black one is so sexy. Can't get that dull looking white one. Nintendo better offer both at launch I not its a fail.

Agreed. White shows dirt and stains from aging and handling. I clean my wii weekly but I'm starting to notice the glossy white it used to be is yellowing in some parts lol.

I want black, but anything dark is acceptable.

A Wii U, black or white doesn't really matter to me.

Rayman Legends
New Super Mario Bros U
Maybe ZombiU or Assassin's Creed 3...we'll see.
Batman: Arkham City - Armored Edition, also playing the waiting game on this one.

But it really depends on what else is announced, so I'll leave it to Nintendo to announce a few things in the future.
