Do You Still Like Your Wii U?

Game Informer - It's almost been five months since Nintendo launched the Wii U. The system hit with some solid first-party offerings like New Super Mario Bros. U along with ports of popular games like Batman: Arkham City and Assassin's Creed III. Wii U owners haven't had much new to play since the console's release, and to

I like the console but not it's game library. Once I get more games for it and more games come out for it, I'll use it more.

darthv724020d ago

I will like it even more when there are more appealing games for me.

Im not out to change anyone's view of the wii-u. I like the idea, i see potential and I'm a patient person. I know the games will deliver.

Now if there will be some sort of update as to when 90's arcade racer is coming out.....looking so forward to that game.

showtimefolks4020d ago

i think to many wii-u will be a failure because it won't sell as much as wii, but that's like saying ps3 failed because it didn't sell as much as ps2 or psp failing even though it sold 60 plus million

all wii-u needs are games and a lot of games, i still don't understand how these publishers launch new systems without games. we went through the same thing with ps3

i hope MS and Sony are taking notes because we needs games at launch

i don't see wii-u selling 60 plus million but it will do alright, as always nintendo is stuck in the middle, they are not next gen and people are tired of last gen. and the message of wii-u is very confusing to those not 100% familiar with gaming. if they had called it wii2 or wiiHD IMO that would have been better for consumer awareness

kirbyu4020d ago

I still don't see how it's a current gen console.

It was the 1st Nintendo console after Wii, it improves on the Wii, it will compete with ps4 and 3rd xbox, and if ps5 and 4th xbox come out and if Nintendo makes a console after Wii U, said console will compete with other said consoles. So what's current gen about it?

N4g_null4020d ago

Just got a ps3 for the god of war collection but I'm playing a ton of need for speed and monster hunter with the 3ds also.

Being playing with java script on it a little also. Pretty impressive.

I usually don't get Lego games but wow I like this better than gta. Nintendo land Pikman made me a believer along with the Zelda and metroid games. It really is too bad people are simply ignoring this console.

I also still have to beat ninja gaiden and zombiu.

The graphic heavy games have not even started yet. So I'm good right now. Plus indies are doing a good job on this system.

kirbyu4020d ago

My brother hates the Pikmin & Metroid Nintendo Land games.

N4g_null4020d ago

The music in Pikman is some of the best in game music I've heard in a while. Why does he hate those games?

Shnazzyone4019d ago

Right now I really like it but it does feel like it's in beta. Zen pinball, blops2 and MH3U is keeping me busy for now. Until nintendo updates the system features and it gets a few more titles to justify it's existence. I still wouldn't recommend someone else to pick one up yet. Especially since by end of year (likely just before ms and sony drop their system) we'll likely see that price drop a tad.

Best system I've had since n64. and could surpass it once the hard hitters hits. the system is just pure fun. games had lost that for a while. at what point did games turn into trophies/achievements? I had missed the days of just picking up a game and playing it to enjoy it. and wiiu owners are the ones paving the way for its return. hence why cod didn't fair so well on wiiu. we love games for fun.

"Best system I've had since N64"

Wow, you've really been missing out all these years.

DigitalRaptor4020d ago (Edited 4020d ago )

Fair enough for you. However, if you think that Wii U is better (at the moment) than PS2, PS3, 360, even Dreamcast, I will just sit and smirk from behind my hand.

Kinda like this: http://24.media.tumblr.com/...

ARESWARLORD4020d ago

Nothing compares to Dreamcast

IIC0mPLeXII4020d ago

Its a slow burn. It will pick up steam just like all Nintendo consoles. Give it some time.

To me, Nintendo consoles have been secondary consoles for more than a decade. Ever since the N64, I've never viewed it as a primary console for the hardcore gamer.

I understand that there are people out there that still want to play Mario, Zelda, and Metroid games, but I the market for these games is dwindling IMO.

Pillsbury14020d ago

There will always be a market for Nintendo. Just because your not a kid doesn't mean Disney isn't going to make millions.

BitbyDeath4020d ago

Disney movies often have subtle adult themes/jokes in their movies which appeals to adults. Nintendo do not.

Not knocking Nintendo but poor comparision is poor.

truechainz4020d ago

@bitbydeath

clearly you havent played luigi's mansion 2 yet

@Logicwins

In the sense of third party nintendo has been secondary for me, but my favorite games have always come from nintendo consoles each gen. Just another opinion

HexxedAvenger4020d ago

I like my Wii-U. I wouldn't buy it if I didn't like it. Not to mention, I have monster hunter. I'm good. Can't wait for all the heavy hitters to be out.

Trunkz4020d ago

I love my Wii U, but right now it's dusty. Just waiting for some more good games to come out, thats all.

LOL_WUT4020d ago

Fair enough ;)

E3 is going to be very interesting.

Ilovetheps54020d ago

These might not be your types of games, but you should give Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Lego City a look. I'm thoroughly enjoying these games. I have 50 hours in Monster Hunter and I haven't gotten bored at all yet.

Studio-YaMi4020d ago

That's exactly how I feel about my Wii U too,but I've been passing time playing lots and lots of MH3:Ultimate,greatest game on the Wii U to date IMO.

Looking Ahead: The Lingering Questions About the Next Mario Kart

VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "10 years. It’s been almost 10 years since the last mainline release in the Mario Kart series. Mario Kart 8 came out for the Wii U in 2014 and became the best-selling game for the system by a sizeable margin, and later pulled the same magic trick on the Nintendo Switch under the stage name Deluxe. All in all, it's sold nearly 70 million copies over the last decade and is still selling like hot cakes to this day, so it’s no wonder Nintendo has been in no rush to replace it. However, with rumors of a new system being just around the corner, and reports a few years back that a new Mario Kart is indeed under way, it seems the era of 8 might very well be drawing to a close. It’s an exciting prospect to be sure, but after two Nintendo systems with Mario Kart 8 at their heart, a lot of questions remain about how Nintendo will choose to follow it up."

I hope they just keep building on Mario Kart 8; Add a track-creation tool, and probably open it up to more Nintendo IPs with new tracks and characters, so Metroid, Punch Out, Starfox, Animal Crossing, etc etc.

gold_drake7d ago

there wont be a new one until the switch 2 comes out.

nintendo needs their bangers early on
