Except it doesn't play Gamecube games. So its only 1 gen backwards compatible. Just to clarify.Adam Jensen said:
Have PS4, get Xb1 next or Wii U?

I might go with the 3DS over the Wii U. I like my Wii U, but 3DS already has a great new Zelda on it, as well as two ports. You also get access to old Game Buy games, which I really dig. Luigi's Mansion was a lot of fun. I feel like there's more stuff on 3DS that I'm wanting to play.
Can't defend or attack the Kinect here as I got the Kinect-less One, but all of that 'Xbox record' stuff is still available. Just snap the Upload app to the game you're playing and, instead of saying 'Xbox record that' you hit the Xbox button on the controller and then press 'A' on the 'Xbox record that' menu option. Personally I can't see why anyone would be interested in seeing my gameplay footage, but there are plenty of people who share pictures of their dinner with the world so maybe I'm just too old to 'get it'. :/Xiorell said:
If you never played wii, and if you like retrogaming, then WiiU is a pretty good deal. There´s a lot of really cool gba titles on the VC store, i barely play new games on it because i got a shit ton of cool VC games and Wii titles. The exclusives are pretty good too, if you like platformers and gameplaycentric games, not really the place to look if you prefer storydriven stuff. I´m very happy i bought a WiiU, fits my playstyle perfectly, and despite the lack of third party support i find it easy to find stuff to play thanks to the online store and acces to Wii library.
On disc games are pretty expensive though, that has to be said.

But atleast you can expect them to become cheap at some point, Nintendo games rarely drops in price. Atleast that´s my experience with Wii and Gamecube. Non Nintendo games are dirt cheap though, they are practically giving games like Arkham city and Tekken Tag Tournament 2 away for free. But that´s probably more relevant in 2-3 years than it is now (when cheap Ps4 and XboxOne games are taking all the shelf space).Xiorell said:I still got my normalcwii plugged inMrBaskerville said:
See at first glance Wii u games look expensive but, look at ps4/xb1 games. Same
Sorry I misread as turn off PS4. Idk about turning controllers off as I've rearly had the need so I will take your word on that one.Xiorell said:
I never trade in my games too but Nintendo are always expensive vs other systems, I can get PS3 games for $20, good luck finding a decent Wii game for that price.Xiorell said:True enough I guess.
I rarely trade in / sell games mind, so its only ever a one off cost whichever the console
Why are you torn? That theoretical Halo 5 isn't even out yet. This is a choice between nothing and something.
The WiiU has lots of good games. See if you like them and if you do, there you go.
It doesn't make sense to buy a console now and just hold onto it until it has interesting games some day which surely people who bought the ps3 in hopes of playing the last guardian on it some day can tell you.
There will probably be an improved, cheaper version of the xbone later too.

I hate that and don't understand why they made that change. So many decisions they made with the UI on the PS4 are a step backwards from how it was handled on the PS3. Sony has a bad habit of fixing what ain't broke, like the store on PS3... ugh.Xiorell said:
I was really torn between ps4 and xb1 when I brought that... Friends back home (I moved away) had xb1 and I'd enjoyed my 360 but I've been on something of a sony rampage the last 2 yearsloa said:
Now, I'm seeing it different... I've already got something to play most triple A games but there are still a few exclusives coming to xb1 etc
I think it will be the Nintendo option anyway now you guys have shown me reason!
I had a little demo on the new 3ds... While impressive and veery neat, the 3D effect isn't as pronounced as I remember (never owned a 3ds but played on one at work when they first launched)
I don't mind the facelift aspect... I preferred the PS3 look and feel but I think the new approach is perfectly functional, it just seems there's extra steps and presses, or menus for things that used to be a lot more to the point.Tank207 said:
What DID rattle my balls, is that I now need a cable to chat via my PX4 headset! That sucks. And even then, no mic monitoring for me on ps4.
