It's the best controller I've ever used.

Change scares idiots.

Red and Green, they got his name right this time?  Wow, that automatically makes me interested in this.

That was difficult to watch.

To all you saying Nintendo is always looking to pinch a few extra Pennies out of their customers i have to say, "Y'all never had a Microsoft console, did you?"
Nintendo is one of the best for reasonable prices. It's the same people complaining that this year club Nintendo platinum rewards weren't good enough. Wanna know what Microsoft gave me for buying all the halo games and the gears of war games? Nothing! Absolutely nothing! They charged me extra so i could play the whole game (online), even though the online development is part of the cost of the game already.
Adding $2 is not that big of a deal. Relax y'all.

Better question is.. How the hell can you hear that whisper quiet fan????

 Neither for me.  Wii U for console goodness. PC for anything else.

 

 My brother may end up getting one of them however, so at some point I'll probably get a chance to check them out.

I'm not so sure it would have mattered. Two important patterns we see in gaming history; one is that the most powerful console is never the winner. Master System was more potent than the NES. SNES had a bit more juice than the Genesis (I know that's a controversial one in the "who won" arguments department. Most people would say its a tie, having reviewed the Genesis and its library extensively I argue Genesis won in sales by a few hairs) PS3 trumped 360 and wii in tech but couldn't overcome in sales and is probably the best example of this. Secondly, perception is everything, tech means little, when it comes to numbers. Sadly Nintendo is such a polarized issue most people with a passionate stance one way or the other aren't going to be swayed by tech, the brand has a fixed perception for everyone good or ill. If Wii U had been the most powerful of the 3 I think it would have done nothing but hurt them. On top of all the stigma people who swear by Sony or Microsoft give Nintendo they would now add to it the wasteful price point for technology that will never be fully exploited.

 

On a side note, I've seen a couple people say the wii u should have had a normal controller. I can see a legitimate complaint in that it will be a hard controller to replace.... Am I the only one though for which the controller was actually the selling point? The wii u controller, weird as that may seem, is my killer app. I love it. And I think its a matter of perception maybe we just aren't ready for it. To understand the wii u one must embrace the concept that the controller is just as much a part of the machine as anything else. It IS the console. Just curious though if the controller was something anyone else got excited about or if I am just nuts.

love that anime

I like indie games better than I like AAA games anyway, more personality, more gameplay variety. It isn't just aim and shoot like most big blockbusters are today. Screw EA, I'd take minecraft over any EA game anyway!! I'm glad wii u is supporting the small guys, rather than catering to the fat rich guys that don't give a crap if there game is made for the gamer, only that they get money.

Haha, I thought this would be another hate thread saying that Wind Waker HD has too much bloom lighting. xD

 

Misconceptions aside, I like my Wii U because it has my favorite franchise(s) going for it. Mario, Zelda, Smash, and so many other IPs I haven't even STARTED on! There are a ton of games coming for it in the near future, and there are TONS of Wii games I still need to play (that's another, it features backwards compatibility). Miiverse is cool, too.

i don't care about graphics, the Wii U offers a new way to play games... am satisfied

I hate the way people keep complaining about the graphics of the Wii U, in the past 17 or so year when has ANYONE gone "ooh I should get that nintendo console for its graphics" NO ONE, so why is it such a giant deal now??? We go to Nintendo for their games. So STAP!

...I'm not hating on the Wii U but I can pretty much say that it's not going to be anywhere near as powerful as the next consoles from Sony and Microsoft, and that's fine as power
isn't the reason I bought a Wii U.

The fact that people are getting so defensive over people stating the fact that no Wii U game has shown the console to be a huge leap into next-gen performance wise is confusing me, did you buy the Wii U, a console with a controller which has a touch screen on it for $300 expecting it to be some huge graphical leap?

I bought a Wii U for the controller and the exclusives, any third party support is just a bonus to me.

those zombies in ocarina of time. whenever they screamed and grabbed a part of me died inside.

I mean wii animal crossing on wii u. Will i need a sd card or not... I'm confused because everyone is saying different things.

No.

none id rather have new gamez
