Subject: Thinking about getting a Wii U

My name is from Star Wars. Now you know.

Feel free to follow me on my twitter and stalk me.

Hey, flud. I was considering buying a Wii U, but have heard mixed things ranging from incredibly awesome to overwhelmingly meh.
Thoughts on the Wii U? Is it worth it? Because New Super Mario Bros U looks pretty awesome for a good casual play with friends. I have a -blam!- ton of Christmas money and I've already bought my books for this semester, so I won't really be needing money soon. Just want to treat myself.

If I get one, what are some of the best games?
Also wich WiiWare/Virtual Console games are currently best to own?

Hey, /v/.
Stuck in /v/ mode. Oops.

Seriously Xizor, don't do it. 3rd party support is god awful, with only terrible ports now and little to no support going into early next year, not to mention what will happen when Nextbox/PS4 hits. It just isn't worth your money.

Doc: "i'm a pacifist"
Caboose: "your a thing that babies suck on?"
Tucker: "no dude, that's a pedephile"
Church: "tucker, i think he means a pacifier"

I'm waiting until there are some games that justify the purchase. Not to mention, in about 6-9 months they will most likely re-hash what comes in the box.

Mostly bad.

Thanks, rokker.
Also I know for a fact you don't own one, so I'm not taking your advice. <3

Challenge me to a 1v1 standard on Halo Wars
1v1 standard record: 5-1

Just send a voice or text message to the Gamertag: A Hungry Dino

The only reason why I would want one is for Pikman 3.

-blam!- Nintendo for having to release it only on the Wii U. -blam!- em hard.

Not any games out yet that look like it's worth purchasing. I mean if you have that much money just to spend and it won't affect you, go for it. You won't be putting that many hours into it because of the sheer casualness of those games.

But because of the Wii U's capabilities, I envision much better games to come out. So if you really want it now, go for it. But I would personally wait for the price drop. And I will be getting that console for Super Smash Bros.

  • 12.26.2012 10:19 AM PDT

Stop banning me please.

im gonna get one eventually

  • 12.26.2012 10:19 AM PDT

I got one a month ago sometimes I love other times I regret it most of the time I feel its meh I have super mario bros U its pretty good only played the first two levels. I only suggest getting it if you really, really want it other wise hold off.

  • 12.26.2012 10:21 AM PDT

Its pretty cool, zombie u is fun, its a odd getting used to the wii pad.

Of course with all releases the librarys small so if you want to wait for a little longer it couldn't hurt to get it for cheaper later on.

If you do get zombie U, its actually got horror done right

The thing is that I'm not really wanting it for a hardcore gaming experience. I want it mainly for a little causual gaming console to play on a whim and just have a good bit of fun with friends who don't really share my taste in other console games.

I am really wanting NSMBU as well and maybe Ninja Gaiden, which I've heard some good things about.

  • 12.26.2012 10:25 AM PDT

It's definitely a cool machine and it's super friendly to independent developers, but I'm waiting till there are some games I can really sink my time into.

Doesn't look like it has many games yet. But you're right Mario U is probably pretty fun. Other than that I don't know what you would get it for though..

  • 12.26.2012 10:28 AM PDT

It's pretty cool. Only real problems are the lack of games right now and the slow OS. Other than that, I've been really enjoying mine.

New Super Mario Bros. U is great. It's my favorite NSMB so far, it feels a lot like Super Mario World. It's really good even if you don't do co-op. Nintendo Land is a lot better than I expected to. I wouldn't rush out to buy it, but if you get a Deluxe model it is worth playing.

Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge is a ton of fun. It's a million times better than the original NG3. The bosses are awful and the game still isn't perfect, but it's got a lot of content and it's just fun. Also picked up Trine 2: Director's Cut, but I haven't started it yet.

Plus next year there's Rayman, Monster Hunter, Pikmin, and The Wonderful 101, so it's getting more games soon.

If pro is the opposite of con, then the opposite of progress is...

I don't think it's worth it. :/

What about Arkham City? I'm not really one to trust reviews too often, so I want to hear what actual players of the game think of it.

Currently there aren't many games on it worth getting. You might want to wait until more come out.

I'm not sure about the WiiU edition but It's a great game on other consoles.


I honestly wouldn't buy a WiiU now. I would wait until Nintendo usually creates a bundle or a console with a bigger HardDrive.

Honestly, only games I plan on buying are: Whatever 3D Super Mario they come up with next, SSB4, Mario Kart, the basics.

  • 12.26.2012 10:50 AM PDT

I've got one because I have a working GC and no Wii, love it but dat initial 5GB download is brutal.

  • 12.26.2012 10:50 AM PDT

The cake is a pie

OP I don't know how rich you are, but I'd put that money to something more important. If you already have a Wii, I can't really imagine that you're missing out on much. Just speaking as a guy who once brought the Reach legendary edition and now knows that he could've used the money for something far more useful, even a games console.

I'm not getting one until the new super smash comes out on it. I'll be picking up a 3DS soon though.
