Nintendo Wii U Thread

Are there any games worth getting the system for?

Not really that we know of yet. I think it's gonna suffer from 3DS syndrome, and have a pretty lackluster library at launch.

Maybe Super Mario bros, Chris but when Super Smash bros or a surprise comes out it then it will make the system worth the buy.

Yeah, I'm gonna wait. Consoles are rarely worth picking up at launch. Most of the games suck for at least a year

Holy rip, the WiiU sensor thingy that can read figurines and cards?

You can use it with a credit card, too.

I am very skeptical about Wii U. Compared to when Wii came out a few years ago, I really have no anticipation for this console. None of the games that they have talked about seem to caught my attention. I'm not a fan of Pikmin and I really don't want to see yet another New Super Mario Bros. I din't even care for that game on the Wii either. The technology is also not speaking to me either. Why would Nintendo make an HD console now when next-generation consoles are bound to come out within the next two years from XBOX and PlayStation that will have even better graphics? Nintendo will once again have the console with the least appealing graphics in a short amount of time, which makes me think that an HD console should have been released years ago when the 360 and PS3 were just being released. The only thing that might make me buy this console are the games coming out in the future such as the new Super Smash Bros.

Nintendo is going to "aggressively" support the Eshop:

Smash bros is further along then I thought I figured next E3 would be the first hint of the game so at least now e know it's being worked on. I also noticed Sonic and Shadow were on that picture and Snake wasn't. A coincidence or a hint?

Snake is right in the middle. It's just a collage of characters from Brawl.

Dude..how does that indicate that it's "farther along than you thought"? The article makes it quite clear that it's the complete opposite of that.

I wouldn't expect Smash 4 to drop anytime before 2014.

Because I thought they hadn't even started the game yet, the article tells me they have started on the game.

Amazon isn't something to go by. Shopping sites constantly put up products with a date and price and pull them down.

and the week of Christmas? That doesn't seem like a good idea.

Amazon doesn't even determine those kinds of things; it's all word of whoever the vendor is. And yes, it's very laughable, because "holiday" releases happen in November.

[Giga Kaiju]

I wont take that Release date as "Definitive" but if the Wii-U gets released around holidays then
it has to be between November and December. (November seems a better idea)

The launch titles have been leaked by Gamestop. Here are the games:

The list looks meh. I knew that the Wii U would have a weak section of launch titles. I will wait next year when more games comes out.

[GreenAiden555]

No launch titles were leaked. Everything is launch window or Holiday.

Which was confirmed by Reggie that everything shown for the Wii U at E3 would be launch window.

Reggie also said the launch window would be longer the Wii U than normal.

[Hellspawn28]

Still nothing that the Wii U has to ofter makes me want to buy one on the first day. I'm still going to wait until next year when the price drops and that they will have more in stock by then. I'm pretty sure the Wii U is going to sell on the first week everywhere like the Wii did in 2006.
