I hope Nintendoland is not a pack-in. I don't even want to own this thing for free.
Hands on reports were positive. I guess you just hate fun.

Eh, honestly I think RR6 looked better. 720p and a rock solid 60fps.In 2005, that Sub HD looked better than anything on the ps2-gc-xbox.
That is yet to be seen, and I didn't say it fails, I'm just stating why there is a lack of true excitement around the launch (at least for me).So the WiiU fails for having games people want to play,
whereas at the start of this gen people bought garbage because it was shiny and they had new TVs?
I can't wait to play [P-100] tomorrow. The wait is killing me!
It can be the Wii U not anticipating thread.
People seem to forget this fact. It's competing against the PC, 360, PS3, and yes, even the Vita and 3DS lineup this fall. Throw in smartphones if you want. If the lineup of those other systems was garbage, then people would have a point. For a launch lineup, it's not bad. However, it's not competing against other launch lineups.As a launch lineup?
Yeah, it's pretty damn good. But it isn't being graded on a scale. It will be in direct competition with software releases on the other systems... of which... they're getting better releases.
As I've said before though. Quality isn't the winning factor. What the masses "catch" is what determines success. WiiSports isn't exactly the most fully-featured title in existence, but it was what the public wanted.
lol, I would love to see this
of course, circlejerks of negativity never actually work. you need some positive to hit back against.

NSMBU would be my dream pack-in. Famicastic.I think anyone who was expecting $250 + something like a pack-in game was very much mislead, and/or bought in to that "LOL WII U IS 2005 TECH IT SHOULD BE 99 BUCKS" nonsense.
I expected $300, but *with* Nintendoland turned into a pack-in game. I think Nintendo would be very misguided to forgo a pack-in after the Wii. Wii U has to appeal equally to hardcore gamers, and everybody else.
If it's $300 with no pack-in or any other kind of special incentive, then it's a bit much / presented wrong.
Of course, the hitch may be that Nintendoland requires an m+ wiimote for some of its games, so Nintendo would have to be packing in a wiimote + game.
It is always possible they'll go hardcore old school and pack in NSMB U. Now that would be something to see.
I was comfortable at $249. Not sure about this now.

"ZOMG, I'm not going to get Pikmin 3 because the graphics!"
C'mon, it's Pikmin 3. Seriously people...
The launch line up is excellent. I think people forget just how shit most launch windows are, yes Wii U has some old ports but a lot of people who only owned a Wii will not have been able to play them. The exclusives all seem to be of a high quality.

It's funny how people called the Xbox 360 the "Xbox 1.5" until they saw Gears of War, I'm taking it once people see Mario Wii U the "Wii 1.5" statements will be over.
At $300 Wii U will be sitting on store shelves this holiday season.
That's completely untrue. 360 launched while the PS2 and DS were going strong. PS3 and Wii launched head to head with all the other consoles, Vita launched Vs. the 3DS current line up and the Wii U will also have to face this. Comparing new systems to existing ones is futile (unless the comparison concerns multiplat games). The system's launch should be judged on two merits: Exclusives and future outlook... I hope now you can see where WiiU's problems really lie.
Not really feeling it. It looks like Pikmin, but it's actually an action game, I really have no idea what to expect from the title. It seems like it should be downloadable, but maybe the game will be more complex that my first impression is. In all fairness I haven't read up on it yet, so I'm probably missing the point (as it kinda looked really simple to me so far).
I have a crazy feeling it won't be.At $300 Wii U will be sitting on store shelves this holiday season.
The Mario on Wii U could easily be done on the Wii minus the resolution boost.
did anyone else but Shane S. say AC3 looks best on WiiU?
that's why they're called 'fans' ... the line up is not good . Gimmicky zombie game? seriously
$600 launch PS3 = bad but might as well
$299 Nintendo system = bad.
Meh. What are ya gonna do?
At least the launch PS3 was (surprisingly) the best version of the console.
I'm on the fence if its 300. Need to see the actual launch lineup and knowing the outlook of the upcoming year would have been nice but Nintendo had to lose their Minds and show nothing. It's discouraging.

Nothing I said is untrue...at all. The same situation that applied to the PS3 and Wii apply here. I don't see where you're going with this.
If the lineup for the other platforms was trash, the WiiU would look a lot more attractive. If you want to be someone to bank on future outlook and potential exclusives (not much wiggle room here, it's gonna be a lot of Nintendo games, which are fantastic), then buy it day one. I've already been burned by the Vita, and that had an AMAZING lineup. MMOs don't survive on potential, and consoles don't survive on potential. This is a blanket statement and has nothing to do with the Wii U in particular.
I watched ... I think two playthroughs and in both cases the gameplay looked kinda bland and simple, despite the cool art design. I'll give it a shot later, probably wouldn't have the money at launch anyway.
Care to speculate/elaborate why rather than making baseless, opinionated statements?
