My god what a ghost town of a thread.

So many WiiU threads, nobody knows with with one to post in :lol
Adding to the confusion by bumping this.

All the talking is happening in the specs thread. And that's the same merry-go-round as always. I'm glad that it's separated from the "game talk" but apparently nobody has something to say in that regard ...

WiiU has no games confirmed.

NintenGAF is fragmented because of way too many threads

And the spec thread is always pushed - it's just such a boring thread that gets bumped and bumped.. maybe we'll have better luck with Rösti's thread

I think ZombiU is going to be a great game to show off to 360/ps3 owners and maybe convince them to pick up a wii u (if they can find one LOL). I already have a few friends who've shown interest in the system just from some videos and are very happy with the price.

He's making a new general thread? Cool.

don't know why I looked that up.

I find it weird how those timeframes aren't consistently referring to the same window in terms of the Killer Freaks/ZombiU switch.

The wii u thread is back

 

[Metroid Hunter]

I say this should be the new Wii U thread. Lock the old one and make this the Wii U thread. It's full of new information, while the other one only has old one and this one is waaaay better.

Nobody posts in here thats why reopened the old one.

Agreed, this one (with its handy list of updates in OP!) should have been maintained instead of the less informative and more often pointlessly misdirected Wii U thread.

The old one got boring fast when everyone just started talking about Wii nostalgia (and beyond) instead of getting hype for the WiiU. They could easily seal the deal with me if they just announce a new Smash Bros. Then even further if they claim it will be like Melee and not Brawl. Melee was one of my favorite games to play. Ever. I would also like to know way more about the proposed internet service. Local-only multiplayer on ZombiU is a bit disappointing. I'm also worried that a lot of people will be lured in to getting BLOPS2 on the WiiU since it will have true HD graphics (supposedly) then the online experience will be broken as hell.

Be interesting to see what blops 2 will be like on the Wii U network wise as there's normally always some issues or complaints from ps3/360 versions.

If the wii u version ends up having the more solid online experience would that be enough to make the cod diehards jump ship?

For me, it would be a lot to ask. I've been playing COD on the 360 since 4, so that's where all of my friends are. I actually don't know of a single one of those people who are planning on picking up a WiiU. If it meant playing by myself, I would not convert.
