"absolute garbage"
oh boy
yea, no. they definitely have their flaws but none of them is anywhere close to garbage.
I'll have to admit I'd make a similar thread if I bought an Xbox One or PS4... Except I'd play all the games I bought first, and I wouldn't have bought either system in the first place as I know I don't care for the games. So no, I actually wouldn't make a similar thread. :L
Seriously though, like I (and most of the sane people in this thread) have said, keep the system, play the games (the ones you got and the other amazing ones out now and upcoming), have fun, ?????, profit!

I think the Wii U is great because I love the games. I can understand that if the games aren't your thing, it might be lacking in other areas. What I can't understand is why you would buy a device and 5 of the best examples of media specific to said device, play none of them and decide its shit and you don't want it. Weird.

Where did I lie? It's a recent observation. Markets change y'know.
Nintendo has had a recent great run,but Sony has just hosted a fan event where they revealed a lot of software that is enticing enough for a PS4 purchase.
IIRC Wii U was critiqued for everything, including it's very name since release. I know, I made a thread about that and posters told me I was 2 years too late with the criticisms.

I'm thinking about grabbing Windwalker. I never played it on Gamecube and it looks so beautiful
Maybe your taste is the garbage. Think about that. Even PH which is a mediocre Zelda game is still an overall good game.

I normally ignore such posts but as it was shortly after my first contribution and takes quite a few liberties, the hell with it.
Will you please stop referring to "everyone", "GAF backs", and stating opinion as fact?
Aside from the obvious contradictory nature of the second and third sentences, you don't speak on behalf of me and others for that matter. "I believe the Wii U turned out OK, and think it's the best current generation console" would be far more appropriate and much appreciated.

What was good about Skyward Sword? I can't think of a single thing other than upgrading items.
For me Nintendo threads are "Count the Splatoon avatars"
Zelda SS was "absolute garbage"? Though I absolutely loved it, I can understand what people didn't like in it. But I have a hard time understanding how can one find it THAT bad.

People are seriously defending the OP ?
This guy don't blame the games, he blames the OS !
PS3 OS is a nightmare, it's slow as hell, the new PS Store has so much loading I can grow a beard before buying a game. AND STILL I like this console because it has good games.
Consoles by themselves are nothing, it's just a fucking low tier PC with a OS older than Windows 98, when people will start to give a fuck about what's important (hint : it starts with "G"), humanity will progress.

The console Zeldas have been great and the handheld ones have been pretty solid.
The biggest thing that hurt Skyward Sword were certain motion controls like throwing bombs but it was a great game.
I agree that Wind Waker on the Wii U is great though.
Also Zelda U is likely going to be great. No motion controls = win. It will also be nice to get a new Zelda in HD.

I bought one a few days ago with mario kart 8, nsmb wii u, mario world 3d, zombii U, nintendo land and some party game thing. I've only played nsmb wii u and mario kart so far and I'm so happy with my purchase it's been foreverrrr since I played a console mario game. Can't wait to get some nes and snes games on this thing too.
I don't think the DS games were horrible, the problem was the stylus control which made it annoying to play (especially for someone like me with a DS Lite and big hands)
I never owned a Nintendo home console so I missed out on all the Zelda games
Looking at some UK retailers, most Wii games are not in stock and the few that have a game or 2 in stock that I'm interested in don't send overseas (pretty sure)
Don't supposed these games are up on the Eshop or whatever its called?

I have this weird feeling that I'm going to stop reading GAF for 6 months once I have my TV and consoles set up again at my new place, with my comfy new couch to sit in after work every day. This period of time where I can't play anything is driving me crazy.

The motion controls were pretty 1:1 if they were set up properly.
Other than that, it was a dull Zelda game with lots of sky and no place to go.
I enjoyed the hell out of it, and I've been playing since the original Zelda.
I liked the more puzzle styled overworld and the sword combat. It has a couple of great du geons too.
The music. The story. The art direction. The combat. The dungeons. The level design. The boss battles.
There's your garbage, lmfao.
"Set up properly"? I was never able to get them to be 1:1 they worked roughly 80% of the time which is completely unacceptable. Not to mention it was billed as a " true sword feel" when really it was 8 possible preset slices. Not really dynamic at all. :/

Everything aside from empty sky, Fi's dialogue, swimming controls and slow UI navigation.

Very odd topic. I don't understand how people can be so fickle..
Like this guy: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=142990498&postcount=360
Bought the console and several games, then threw it up on the gaf B/S/T thread immediately.

I didn't have a problem re-aligning my controls when I needed to, Bow controls felt ok. Using the shield and moving functioned competently.
I know another Gaffer had trouble with SS, maxcriden, and people were able to help him realign the controls and orient himself.

Some people know what they like and don't like. For example: if a book or show doesn't grab me by the first chapter or couple episodes I'm done. I know what I like.

Does that refer to the OP or the Nintendo Defense Force in this thread?
If it's the latter, it's pretty funny; if the former, I'm disappointed, as I have never witnessed such a petty, vindictive act by the NeoGAF mod team.
Usually they are really professional.
That being said, I don't understand OP's dilemma here. If he only bought the console recently and hasn't opened most of the games, returning it should be quite simple.
I liked the game but my biggest problem for some reason was rolling bombs. On one hand motion control was neat. It added immersion (swinging your sword in certain directions to hit weak points) and on the other hand it hurt the game.
Still a great game but when motion controls sometimes failed it hurt the experience.
We won't have this issue with Zelda U though

I don't understand the original post, at all. I tried re-reading it several times, but no dice :-/
I had been eyeing the Wii U for a while, because of the strength of the games, but nothing pushed me over until they had the Mario Kart 8 bonus game deal (I used that deal to get Wind Waker HD). I jumped in, and have never looked back. In my eyes, at this point in time, it has absolutely the strongest software library of this current generation, by a country mile. And that's coming from me, a lifelong Nintendo skeptic.
Since I take my Wii U to various friends' houses quite often, I'm even thinking of getting a second Wii U down the road that will be my "at home" console.

So accurately re-titling a thread is petty? :/

Hate to be that guy, but they're initialisms, not acronyms. To qualify as an acronym, you need to be able to pronounce it as a word. For example, COD is as acronym because you say it like "cod", the fish. DKC: TF is not, unless you try to pronounce it as "ducks tough" or something similar.

Objectively speaking, regardless of the system in question, what the OP did was dumb.
I dunno what to tell you man, I wasn't a fan and it wasn't just that they didn't work but the controls weren't fun. Everything about it broke immersion so it wasn't engrossing but everything felt like a chore. "Go here find these song things" "go here scout this area" "go here fight this same boss 3 times" etc. It just felt like everything was padded and extremely boring.
There were some cool things (that desert oasis level) but overall as a game it's one of the worst Zelda games to me. Only the horrible DS games are worse.

I think it is petty for moderators to call a user stupid over a pretty standard decision; I don't see what's dumb about regretting an impulse purchase, even if the purchase itself was not without merit.
none of those games are 'absolute garbage '

You've been here six months. GAF mods keep shit really. They aren't ABC.com mods.
