TheSixthAxis: Hands On With The Wii U

"Nintendo’s latest console isn’t too far around the corner. Next month, in fact, is when Nintendo fans will be able to link one up to their televisions. Not that you’ll need to use a television for some of the games, mind; the console’s GamePad comes with a built-in 6.2 inch touchscreen, which can be used to play some of the games without needing your TV in the equation at all."

I'm going to buy one just for Monster Hunter. Plus, the wife and I can do some casual gaming on the couch. I'm going to wait until the spring, though.

I'm honestly not trolling here. Did they make this Monster Hunter fun? I have yet to enjoy a Monster Hunter title. Strategy is important, but you don't have to sacrifice fun.

I think you mean "fun for me."

Just because a game is not fun to you does not mean it isn't a well made game that others can enjoy.

Monster Hunter is a very niche title and it takes a while to get into. The first time I played it on my PSP I absolutely HATED it, but after the release of Monster Hunter 3, I decided to give it another chance and found it to be rather enjoyable. Is is a lot more fun to play with friends, though.

You mean there are people out there that enjoy Monster Hunter? I have yet to meet one. I have friends from all walks of life. From fighting fans to JRPG fans to Call of Duty/Halo fans to strictly-retro fans. Most people tend to enjoy most games though, regardless of genre. I just don''t know any Monster Hunter fans. Obviously, people buy it. It's just that...it's sort of a joke among my friends and I. We've all tried it multiple times on multiple platforms and just can't seem to enjoy the series.

You're right. I meant "fun for me"...in the same way that Superman 64 is not "fun for me".

Cant wait...Zombie U is going to be interesting to try.

i bought a 3ds on launch and wow did i get screwed over....over priced,a new xl model out already and no games worth buying except zelda. I will wait until all the nintendo games are out to buy a wiiu. Tired of getting screwed by nintendo. In like a year they will have a new wiiu model out with a more better controller (like wii motion plus) or something better than the overpriced launch model. or it will drop drastically in price. Just something to make launch buyers feel like they are getting ripped off. Love how pikmin2 isn't a launch title like stated either. And how they said the wiiu zelda game will take the skyward sword art style instead of the "HD" zelda video they showed. Not that skyward sword looked bad but they shouldn't show something that there not going to release

i feel your pain bro.. I got ripped off too.. I bought the 3ds at launch & upgraded to the xl & for what? there aint a damn thing on it or in sight for the next year or so.. Sure theres 1st party games coming but not the ones i was expecting like zelda or metroid.. & now castlevania has been tainted by mistwalker developing it?

it pisses me off sometimes to the point where i wanna sell it.. & i WILL NOT buy anything from nintendo ever again until i see at least 5 great games i want.. Not recycled games either.. That tech demo of Zelda on wii u had me excited until i heard about that skyward sword approach.. WTF are they thinking? Twilight sold the most yet they tease us instead of building on it? just like gamecube tech demo & then windwaker popped out.. Sorry, just venting a bit but i totally agree with u bro..
