Gamestop has sold out preorder deluxe Wii U stock nationwide

[Langin]

Man man man, same goes here in my country, the shop I work has sold out as well xD I've got one! And well I continuously hear people talking about it in the store: 'Hey, there's a new Wii coming, the Wii you or something.' I am so happy I work at this store ^^

Wii U is a lock on for kids.

It's not supposed to though. This is the console Nintendo designed to bring back the Core Gamer to Nintendo hardware, and if it should do anything or attract anyone then it should be exactly them. Previous Nintendo owners will get it regardless, they should focus on how to bring the other crowds to their brand, which is why we see titles like Batman: Arkham City and Mass Effect 3 on the list - well-recieved global hits. Admittedly late for the party, but they're there.

It's not something I would really fight a case for, cos I don't give a damn whether it gets those core gamers nor not. I'll be happy with my HD Zelda, 3D Mario, metroid, high quality RPGs, better multiplats support over the Wii down the line when others release their next gen consoles.

If you wanted "high quality RPGs" then you kinda chose the wrong console.

I mean the Wii was far from a RPG haven. I mean it got like Xenoblade (which I thought was blah) and Last Story (which I haven't played) late in the game but it doesn't have the massive lists like its competitors did.

I mean it's getting ME3 which is a high quality RPG but the Wii U is the last console I'd play it on considering a lack of the last two games.

The Wii had many "High Quality" RPGs. Xenoblade, a few Tales games, several Wii Ware VC ports and "from ground up" RPG titles, not to mention what I consider to be the best Fire Emblem so far. It may not have had Mass Effect or Dragon Age, but the Wii does not lack in the RPG area.

Well, nintendo is going the innovation route rather than the technology route of microsoft and especially sony. The technology route will be the death of console gaming, because it is becoming too expensive to produce games at an affordable price. We now live in a world of innovation; a failure to do so means ur obsolete. It's simply how it is.

We're counting WiiWare/VC ports? If that's the case then it's really outclassed. Xbox 360 had KOTOR and Jade Empire, PS3 had all those kick ass PSX RPGs.

Otherwise I'm seeing like 4-5 RPGs you listed. That's far from "not lacking". Also only one Tales game was localized last time I checked (which was the shitty Symphonia sequel). I mean if we're talking like 5 RPGs, then we've already got 3 Mass Effects and 2 Elder Scrolls games on the Xbox 360.

I'm just pointing out that Nintendo has been rather miserable when it comes to RPGs since the N64 era.

I listed my highlights, and those are very quality titles. Of course the 360 has the ES games and Fallout titles. If the Wii wasn't absolute shit in terms of hardware, then it'd have those too. Mot of the quality RPGs on the 360 and PS3 are multiplatform titles that the Wii doesn't get. My favourite game of all time is Fallout: New Vegas, but I'm not so blind as to say the Wii is lacking in the RPG department when it's not. (Check the lists for more than the 5 RPGs I listed. The Wii has quite a few traditional and non traditional RPGs.) Don't spew misinformation like facts Guild. You don't like the Wii's RPG selection, but it has not by any means been neglected in that area.

EDIT: Also, I have yet to play Jade Empire or Knights of the Old Republic. I've heard they really showcase what Bioware was really capable of, but they really haven't aged well from what I've seen.

Also if you "only owned a Wii" for that generation you are literally retarded.

Now, I want to hear how, and why, am I literally retarded, please, enlighten me!

Because Guild McCommunist declared you so! I say you missed out, but you're not retarded by any stretch of the imagination.

Do you at least own some type of gaming PC?

If not I shake my head at you.

I own PC that can do anything I want, I haven't played PC game since Worms Armageddon got out, I'm not interested, so it's not a gaming PC......I don't care for your head shaking, I'm interested in my retardedness! I want' to see how am I retarded?

Did you at least play Valve's games since then.

Otherwise I don't have an official ranking but it's not boding too well.

Last time I checked only owning a particular gaming console did not give you a mental handicap no matter how much you'd like to believe that to be the case.


Could you please stop with these absolutely ridiculous personal attacks based on little other than hatred for an electronic device? It makes you look stupid.

You're not getting me, I'm not what you'd call a regular gamer. I haven't played ANY Valve's games, noup, not even a Half-Life. Soooo, I'm retarded? Because of that?

You can be converted.

My point however was that people are seriously missing out on like a bagillion better games if they only own a Wii. Like I can't even fathom being a Wii-only owner now that I've converted to the master race.

If that is indeed your point, then why the hell do you go around insulting people instead of just conveying that in the first case?

Edit: Not only that, but do you understand the concept of having different tastes? Just because you think something is bad doesn't actually mean it is bad, that's just an opinion.

 

[Clarky]

Maybe people are happy with what they have on a Wii?

 

[Toni Plutonij]

To make it clear, I'm calling you out for the post you made, that's making you look stupid (I'm not saying you are stupid, but it makes you look that way), and with that, you're making this place quite hostile, and unpleasant.

I have other interests in life then gaming, I do it out of fun, none of the Valve's games seem to fit in my vision of fun with gaming, soooo, who are you to make labels, rank people and insult based on that?!?! Can your brain accept that there are people with DIFFERENT VIEW that yours, and that your definitions aren't universal.


EDIT: Converted? to what? dude, I'm 24, I've been playing games for last 15 years, I know what is and what isn't out there.....can you understand I DON'T HAVE ANY INTEREST? I don't want to play half life, I had the game, I never even installed it.

 

[Guild McCommunist]

It's kinda my thing. I'm generally a bit brash.

If you all are really so offended by my indirect comment then remove it. You have the power to and I have no objections.

 

[Just Another Gamer]

You don't like the Wii's RPG selection, but it has not by any means been neglected in that area.

But when compared to the consoles its competing against and the RPGs they get both W and JRPGs it is lackluster so fans of the genre wouldn't turn to a console that wouldn't have the games they want in the first place.

Personally I could care less whether it's "your thing" or not. Not randomly insulting people is what I'd call the absolute tiniest amount of common courtesy. I also do not believe that just because someone might have the ability to remove your comments means that you have a free pass to randomly insult whoever you want.

Personally I found the terminology broad enough that I didn't find it all that offensive. If a moderator finds it offensive they have the ability and duty to do it. The way I talk to other people doesn't translate well to people here, color me shocked.

I'm just saying there's no reason to go on a crusade over a post you think is offensive. Remove the portion and be done with it, maybe send me a sternly written PM saying I should say things nicer.

Now that I understand that my comment wasn't taken the way it was, shall we move on?
