So is it good to buy Wii U NOW ?

[the_randomizer]

I'd say no as well, wait until it's cheaper and actually has games worth purchase of a console.

Ah, guess that means I shouldn't buy a PSVita for a while yet.

Great to hear the Wii U is more powerful than consoles released nearly seven years ago.

I'm saying no, as much as I want to play NSMBU, ZombiU and as much fun as Nintendoland looks, and personally I feel it had a solid launch line up, there doesn't seem to be much else on it's way. Pikmin 3 has a vague "Q2 2013", Game & Wario...vague 2013, Wonderful 101 again vague 2013 and we're left with Rayman Legends in Feb and NOTHING else. Some games are "this may launch at the same time as the other versions" but again it's very vague and well those games are on other platforms. What else is there...erm Bayonetta 2? A niche title that probably won't do well and so far we have a teaser trailer and that's it, I'd doubt that'll get a release for a year at the very earliest. Iwata says that 3D Mario & Zelda games are being made...but it's very vague and there is that Retro Studios game that no doubt will be fucking awesome but again no info on that at all.

Nintendo are keeping things way too close to their chest, I know they want to prevent anger with game delays but this is a new console they need to show these titles off sooner! I'd rather sit impatiently, looking at Mario/Zelda/whatever trailer over and over and get disappointed with hearing about a delay then have vague "we're working on something".

Wii U has the potential to be awesome but so far, Nintendo is keeping way too quiet with it's own titles.

I voted "maybe." It's got some cool launch titles, but not enough that truly catch my eye to make me want to buy it now. But that's just me. I'll definitely grab it eventually (especially when Zelda, Metroid, or Smash Bros. comes out).

Game choice wise I'd say no. Sure they have quite a lot of games to choose from at launch..but they're not particularly great and some you may already own on other consoles (if you own them).

If you're a hardcore Nintendo fan then I'd say yes. Mainly because it's a new console, there's that hype and excitement of trying it out, even if there isn't a fantastic array of material out yet.

If it has games you would like to play, such as the exclusives, then go get one. Otherwise, don't. While some of the "ports" seem to not hold up to the games available on other consoles, they aren't that terrible. Some have enhancements but also have some performance issues, but in a sense, that balances it out. The system does have bugs, most which seem to revolve around Miiverse, but people have been able to temporarily remedy that by not having their console connected online, so if you don't mind not going online with it, you've got that option until they fix the issue.

I have one, and am enjoying it very much.

I bought a PSvita and I love it , I recommend that you buy one.

Rather get a PS3 because of the amount of games it already has, and most multiplatform games coming out for the Wii U will be on the PS3 as well.

okay lets look back , at the end of 2008(in 31st of December exactly before 12 o’clock) I bought my first Wii and as far as I remember it was released in 2007 so I waited a year , so my experience goes like this I didn’t find any good games at all except the Wii sports , I did buy some games for the Wii but all of them where really bad thats in 2009 , in 2011 I soft moded my Wii and started to play best games I ever played and didn’t finish Half of them, so my conclusion is buying the Wii back then was great and I wished that I have bought it the year it was released,also when I bought my 3DS I bought it a week after it was released and nintendo enrolled me into the ambassador program where I had some of the best classic games that I wished that I play like the legend of Zelda four swords,so does every body think that buying the Wii U is bad at this moment.

DON'T BRING UP BAD MEMORIES MAN.

When a maaaa-aaan... loves a Vita...

Seriously though, if you already have a PS3, you'd be buying the WiiU for its exclusives, which are rather low in numbers as of today. The PS3 offers the same games, and often at lower prices.

I'm always at the midnight launches for these things, but I usually wind up regretting it somehow. I got my Wii at the 2006 midnight launch at Toys 'R' Us in Times Square, but it's no longer the same Wii; it's been in for repairs so many times that my warranty extended to 2011. I have the Deluxe Wii U, and no problems yet, but if I didn't have such severe upgradeitis I would have waited for the killer app and cheaper, more stable hardware. Just don't wait until there's a Wii U mini that lacks Wii support.

This thread needs more soul.

I never faced any problems with my Wii ever in fact it never broke,I bought in 2009 , the only device that I bought on lunch date that had some issues was the 3DS I bought two of them and mine had this problem with a black screen because of he wireless card was causing the issues I think,I also bought the DS on lunch date and it actually never broke after all these years you know the bulky Silver one

Alot of the people on here saying no are just nintendo haters. Dont listen to them, if theres a game u really want to play buy it if not wait it out till the spring there will be more games and newer firmware on the systems.
