Protoplasym Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 According to this guy its SEVEN YEARS LATE ALREADY! http://mynintendonew...ven-years-late/ Nintendo is so far behind tech wise, that I can see where this guys assessment stems from.

Rex Dart Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Ehhhh nope. Not unless some huge amazing game reveal occurs between now & launch. Nothing has wowed me yet, though I know there are bound to be some great titles eventually. Figure I'll pick one up after a price drop or two, as usual.

godslabrat Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 If it's anything like the Wii, and finding one for the first year is impossible, then I'll have no choice but to do without. I've got too much going on in my life now to chase a video game console. Otherwise, I'll probably wait about a year and grab it when a bunch of games I like have been released. Then again, if I happen to see one on the shelf a week after launch, and have a little extra scratch in my pocket, I might just give in to the "What the hell..." voice.

cimerians Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 (edited) No. Dont need yet another Nintendo console but I do want Nintendo games. Eventually like everyone else I will probably own one. Anyone know if Wii controllers etc work on it? Edited August 22, 2012 by cimerians Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rex Dart Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Wii controllers are definitely supposed to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

godslabrat Posted August 22, 2012 Share Posted August 22, 2012 Wii controllers are definitely supposed to work. Whew.....maybe I can save a buck or two then if I ever get the system. Sure, but I have to think there would be some gimmick to compel current Wii users to buy new controllers. Otherwise, the three controllers I've already bought for the Wii let me deduct $150 from the price of the Wii-U, and that's not even factoring in Nunchuks. With those at $20 a pop, the Wii-U would be very close to free. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shannon Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 So I'm not sold on the Wii U as of yet... For some of you that are, what's your main reasoning? ... Kinda still in love with the Wii, personally. There ya go. If you're liking the Wii, the Wii U is going to be more of the same. Hopefully, maybe even a little better. If you're not liking the Wii now, well, the Wii U is still likely to be more of the same, so dust off those old "Gamecube 1.5" jokes! Wii 1.5 or Gamecube 2.0? I feel a poll coming on...

GKC Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 (edited) So long as the rumored price point of $250-$350 is correct I expect that I'd be picking it up (or trying to) on launch day. Nintendo has a pretty solid launch/launch window of games scheduled for release. Ive held off on Darksiders 2 and Batman AC on the current consoles to pick up on the wii u. Aliens CM is looking pretty good and Rayman Legends is a Wii u exclusive. Plus all the Nintendo games which rarely disappoint. I have no idea what the next Xbox or ps4 will bring but if the next generation is anything like this one was for me I'll end up owning all 3 at some point anyway so I may as well start with the Wii u.

bomberpunk Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 as for Nintendo titles, i want to see another Mario Golf for the Wii U. i've been playing the snot out of Toadstool Tour lately. i'm sure the next Mario Party will be a riot with the tablet / 5th player. also, more Metroid please.

xg4bx Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Does anyone plan on supporting it at Launch? maybe not right at launch but i'll see how the landscape looks around christmas i.e. finances/availability. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted August 23, 2012 Share Posted August 23, 2012 Does anyone plan on supporting it at Launch? I was initially planning on it, but I am going to have a pretty hefty change in finances come a month or so, so I'm not sure now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Protoplasym Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 What surprises me is that so many are disappointed/jaded with the current affairs of todayGen Gaming, yet they're still willing to support companies at launch. I don't get it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Metal Ghost Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm not a jaded type of person, so if I see something I like, I'll support away! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GKC Posted August 24, 2012 Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'm not disappointed in current gen, I just like being an early adopter. Perhaps though this perceived jadedness or dissappintment stems from the extended length of this gen? Then the people jaded by this gen supporting the next gen so early makes more sense.

Your comment was that you didn't understand people buying next gen systems when they are jaded by this generation. I offered that my support doesn't come from being dissappintment in this gen but, rather, liking to be an early adopter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you were confused by people buying new systems when they were jaded by this gen. What surprises me is that so many are disappointed/jaded with the current affairs of todayGen Gaming, yet they're still willing to support companies at launch.I don't get it. I didn't realize you were looking to debate the risks/rewards of being an early adopter, since you didn't say anything of the kind, but you seem to be a person that really likes to argue and I'm not such a person so I won't be arguing with you about. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
