what is the Flood's opinion? Worthy successor to the Wii or the next disappointment in gaming? Is the new controller a new addition o gaming or a pointless gimmick? Is it fun and entertaining or childish and boring?

I intensely dislike it. Nintendo stinks.

Worthless.

Nothing about it is a 'gimmick' but The Flood will disagree...

Inappropriate. Went a little to far with the butt hole tearing.

Not the direction they needed to go in.

Don't LOL if you aren't L'inOL.

Halo: Reach
Halo 3
Halo ODST

I wanna try it out, but definitely not buying it. Unlike most people here, I like Nintendo, but the only Nintendo games I still buy nowadays is Pokemon.

I like shorts. They're comfy and easy to wear.

Ask me again after Christmas.

I really, really like it. I must say, in my opinion, Nintendo is far superior, and ahead technologically wise than Sony definitely. Everybody mocks the Wii, yet Nintendo and Sony were all vying for a rip off, Kinect and Play Station Move.

With proper marketing, and should they aim it at the right market, this could be big, hopefully.

Did you know that 93% of all statistics on the internet are made up on the spot, and that 68% of readers believe them?

Waste of a console and resources. They should've waited a couple more years and focused on a legitimate contender for next gen gaming.

Well, that's hopeful thinking.

Not a fan of gimmicky consoles/peripherals. I tried a display unit the other day and didn't enjoy the second screen, giant controller experience.

There just aren't enough moments in the day to rectify the wrongs of the past.

I havent purchased a Nintendo product since a DS Lite.

I purchased it. Since I put my money up, my opinion might have some more weight (or should).

Personally, I boxed it back up to take it back home with me over Winter break, but I have not unboxed it as I don't want to play it. None of the games appeal to me right now (I even got the Deluxe with Nintendo Land), and Nintendo's support for the console in terms of updates adding new features is frustrating.

That being said, the console is cool. The controller feels great and is pretty neat to use with Nintendo Land. MiiVerse is interesting. The eShop needs more content. Video apps can be used on any other device. I just want Pikmin 3 or any other Nintendo game that is not a New Super Mario Bros title.

I would say don't rush to get one and wait for some good software. Still, if you do get it, it's not bad. It just needs content.

I think it's a bit early to judge, so I won't say much.

So far though, I'm very satisfied with it. The controller is great and I'm really digging Miiverse (it's a great addition and Microsoft and Sony should totally copy it). Only real complaints are that the OS is very slow and the launch line-up was pretty weak.

As far as games go, I like Nintendo Land and Mario, but I can definitely say they aren't system sellers. I was thinking about getting the new version of Ninja Gaiden 3 but I don't want to throw $60 down on it. I don't have any interest in anything else right now, so I don't have much to play on it at the moment.

I'm pretty excited about new titles for it. Rayman Legends, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, Pikmin 3, and The Wonderful 101 all look great. Plus there's also Bayonetta 2 and future Nintendo titles, so I'm pretty optimistic about that. I hope the system gets the kind of third-party support that the DS got.
