lol pikmin, gameplay over graphics..smh. i guess u guys are truefan boys. (your entitled to yr opinions)

Well in my opinion you sound like a fanboy too. Hating the Wii U because of the absence of 'cutting edge graphics games', but then refused to acknowledge both of the mentioned Pikmin and NFSMW. Why? Whats wrong with Pikmin? I've only seen screenshots so far but the game does look good graphically. Running with those textures at 1080p and 60fps is an impressive thing, as ShadowSoldier said. Is it that you don't like Pikmin because of its gameplay? Is that why you're hating it without a valid reason here? Seems to me like it is. All you've been saying are 'smh.. pikmin? for real!' 'u guys are truefan boys'. Why don't you say whats wrong with it instead of shaking your head all the time. Just sayin'. I don't have a problem with PS3/X360, its just that I don't think Wii U is 'dead' as you stated.

Buying for its exclusives is definitely worth it and now even more because of Super Mario 3D Land 2 *cough*, I meant Super Mario 3D World.

Also, if you hack the Wii Mode then you'll have an awesome gaming machine with a ton of games to play on it.

SD Cards are pretty cheap, so I'd go with them over HDDs.

As long as you're doing announced games, may as well include X on there.

I remember afterwards that I forgot to list "Xenoblade 2", my bad.

I may be wrong but considering the atrocious grammar you have in your comment it makes me wonder if you're around 12 years or something.

The games that I listed aren't just for kids or teens but everyone, then again, there'll be jackasses who think "Oh that looks like a kids game so I won't like it".

Edit: I remember being at a Nintendo kiosk and they had New Super Mario Bros. U on one of the HDTV's for people to play, you want to know which was the most fun kids had with NSMBU? Running around from map to map, rather than the stages themselves because they were too hard for them.

Lol, super mario hey? Smh
The catalog on the wii u is terrible, half baked ports. No cutting edge software, ok all games are rehashes etc in general on all platforms. But no major titles, no FIFA no pro no mgs no kingdom hearts no battlefield no nba (and I'm talking. Ew versions of these sports titles I.e nba 2k14, no hockey....
You get my drift?

The machine is going to be gone in 2 years IMO.
It will be like the Nokia lumnair mobile phone

 

[paulee123]

They should just cut their loses IMO, xenoblade 2, beyonetta 2 I wonder how these will be released cos I don't see them making money on these. As the install base won't grow as much to gain a return in my eyes.

They say the market is driven by software but look at wii u software sales. Tells it all.

 

[grossaffe]

Troll go home.

"SALES SALES SALES SALES SALES"

Forgive me for asking, but why do you guys care about this so much? Do you all work in that kind of field as analysts or something? Sales have no direct impact on consumers.

You sound like that retard Kirito-Kun who nobody liked and he finally got banned.

Isn't it always gameplay over graphics? I only have Wind Waker HD and in my opinion the graphics are very good. I think its just because most Nintendo games have those different cartoony art styles like Super Mario 3D World and WWHD, and not those realistic looking games like Last of Us.

But I remember ALL of my friends bashing me when I first bought my Aqua Blue 3DS at launch, with them saying how the graphics look like shit and how the Vita is much much much much superior than the 3DS. Lol yeah right, I don't see the Vita prospering much in terms of games now. Apart from the 2 good launch titles, Uncharted and Gravity Rush, and a few others such as Killzone and Soul Sacrifice to mention a few, the others are just "ports" from the PS3, like Project Diva F, MK and Injustice. Well they're not really ports but you know what I mean. I think even the sales chart between the two will prove that it is gameplay over graphics. Buuuttt, thats just my opinion.

I know it's nitpicking, but I just have to mention that Project Diva F (the PS3 version) is actually an improved port of Project Diva f (the Vita version)

Well... I am 30 and I can safely say that the level design and general gameplay experience of Super Luigi U is impossibly better than anything from EA
Older gamer care less about super graphic grimdark military sport shooter and just want to play well designed fun games.

Since I own a fast PC I think the wii u is the best console to own this generation.

Here is a cool list of some of the technical atrocities of your beloved PS4 and Xbox one

Now go play your favorite shooter racing game at 720p and/or 30fps on your superior nextgen for another 10 years.

I'm a lot closer to 40 than to 20, and I'd very much like to have a Wii U. At this point I'd rather have one than a PS4 or Xbone. That may change in a year or two, but pretty much nothing those have out in the launch window really thrills me, while Wii U's got Zelda WWHD and various Mario titles, among others.

I think it doesn't matter if the machine isn't as powerful as the other two, nor does it matter if it's not the smashing success Wii was, it's got plenty of Nintendo-y goodness instead of BROWN SHOOTER #456. But hey, that's my opinion.

I can't tell if you're being serious or just trolling around, probably trolling for the sake of trying to annoy people.

So "cutting edge" to you is the early EA games and let me guess, Activision games too? Well gee that's some amazing games you got there, sport. Those yearly games are rehashes with little to no improvements, because other than the updated roster there really isn't the need to make them better, except fixing the bugs and glitches.

Although I can honestly say that I like playing FIFA but the truth is that I'm no longer a football gamer/fanatic so I couldn't care less really, neither about any of the other sport titles.

Kiddo, just stop embarrassing yourself it's degrading.

P.S.: Kingdom Hearts should have stayed as a PlayStation exclusive for its entirety of the franchise as it makes no sense to being released on Xbox One considering a lot of those players probably never played the original KHs.

 

[paulee123]

wow some people here are so sensitve here.

And no i'm not here to annoy ppl, i'm speaking what i see.

The machine is doomed, nintendo will be the only main supply for games by next year imo. but heh i could be wrong.
People say they like playing FIFA the like playing this but those game are now not coming to the machine, so where you gonna fget fix for those games? Not to say you cant have the Wii U.

I just find it funny how people go on like they dont like genre's of game that don't come on Wii U.

smh

this is just a discussion, no name calling lol.

 

[WiiCube_2013]

You're pretty much asking for it with those troll comments that you're constantly making without any logical sense at all.

Nintendo gamers in all honesty don't care about EA's or Activision's crap so that's the reason the consoles (plural) work out fine without them. Activision is trying to milk COD Ghosts on Wii U but unfortunately for them the Nintendo gamers don't buy that garbage.

Paul, if you have no common sense then don't bother to leave a comment because those troll comments that you've made are only to annoy people.

 

[WoJjTeK]

Screw FIFA,hockey and all that crap, I'm buying a Wii U for exclusives from Nintendo and partners, for the rest I'll just buy a PS4. I have never expected the Wii U to be 'ultimate console for this gen'. Hell, none of 3(PS4/XBone/WiiU) is. As long as Nintendo supports it I'll be satisfied. Games like theirs can only be found on their console, and this is why everyone buys a Wii U, not for new NFS or anything 'multiplatform/mainstream' like that. It is a nice addition to the collection, but if you are going to play only games like that ( and argue about the graphics ), go buy yourself PS4/XBone. You'll be more than satisfied.

Didn't log in for a while, things are slowly turning ugly here...

I know it's nitpicking, but I just have to mention that Project Diva F (the PS3 version) is actually an improved port of Project Diva f (the Vita version)

Really? I have both and I can't really tell the difference, apart from those EXTRA songs on the PS3 version. I still love both of 'em though~
