Where's the "I wanted one and I still want one" option? I'm a broke ass student that spends his minor disposable income on guitar gear. Gotta get that sweet ass tone!
Dang, I made the options pretty frigging narrow, huh? Though I suppose I'd still pin that one under the most positive option, given that you'd probably have one if you didn't have other things you need to get buy, huh?mitchell271 said:Where's the "I wanted one and I still want one" option?

My mistake; I thought I worded my post as "The only new announcements I looked at that actually show promise," since saying there were absolutely no promising announced Wii U games would be unfair without me having watched every single trailer. As it happens, every game you just mentioned were ones I didn't look at apart from the new Hyrule Warriors trailer (and in its case, the gameplay difference between hack-and-slashing dozens of enemies and doing so while someone next to you does the exact same thing is negligible). After having watched the trailers for the rest of the games, Splatoon has appealing aesthetics that, after you've played fifty matches, will no longer distract from the fact that, apart from being able to disappear into the paint, the gameplay appears to be fairly basic and standard multiplayer third-person shooting underneath. Xenoblade Chronicles X apparently didn't consider showing any gameplay whatsoever a priority, just cutscene footage and voiceovers talking about things that no one who didn't play Xenoblade Chronicles will understand, so who knows what to expect there. But I will say that Devil's Third looks like it may have pulled off being able to quickly and easily switch between first-person shooting and third-person action and keeping things sufficiently high octane and fast-paced that both types of gameplay seem equally enjoyable and useful (though there remains the possibility, particularly where the story is concerned, that the end result will just end up being exhausting).FillerDmon said:I'll give you that I hope that the open world Zelda doesn't fall short of the showing it just demonstrated (though I didn't know emulation could even be talked about in public without mod interference). But nothing else looked interesting at all?
The Wiiu Exclusive Devil's Third, brought to you by the guy who made the good Ninja Gaidens? Multiplayer Hyrule Warriors gave a lot of info a lot of people knew nothing about: Multiplayer alone, not to mention Zelda or Midna being playable. Xenoblade Chronicles was dull looking? Splatoon not interesting either? Miyamoto and his secret black projects?
Eh, I guess I'm just too easy to impress.
Yeah, I realized this way back when I was talking to a coworker about it. Specifically, how the Wii U is not an add on to the Wii, but a whole other console (he didn't know that). Then, he asked me a question. "What does it look like?"anthony87 said:I think the same of it now as I did before.
Hell, I still don't even know what the console looks like.
I would've clicked that. Sure the wiiu has a lot of good Nintendo games on the way so if you like Nintendo games, you're all set.V4Viewtiful said:There's no "I was holding off for a larger library" Option?
Who's talking about porting over? I agree, that was part of their problem. I'm talking about new original games from cool franchises like Borderlands and Fallout. I'm not going to buy a Wiiu to replay Borderlands 1 or Fallout 3, but I would definitely get one if it had some weird spinoff like Borderlands 'the next vault' or Fallout 'Motown.' You dig?Dexterity said:What's the point though?GonzoGamer said:I like Nintendo games (have since the nes) but it's got to get some more (interesting) third party support before I go in. Things like Bayonetta 2 or how the DS got GTA Chinatown Wars. Maybe they could get a Borderlands, a Fallout game, or (put that tablet to good use and) get a kickass RTS like a Dawn of War; some sort of franchise I'm interested in.
Nintendo ported over a lot of third party games as launch titles for the Wii U, but they didn't improve sales.
Nintendo have always sold their consoles on first and second party merit. Their consoles rarely have much third party support, and if they do, the third party games never really sell very well.
