A few months ago, a member on my forum said he can't justify spending money on a 3DS, despite the fact that he wanted one.

I was like "What? If you want it, get it!" but now I can see where he's coming from.

I love Nintendo. The first [Nintendo] console I think my family had was a 64, and we've had every console ever since.

However, I need to justify a Wii U purchase.

I want a Wii U, but I've seen graphics comparisons, and this NEXT GEN console seems to have worse graphics than the PS3, which is one generation before it.

The games I would buy would probably be:

Smash Brothers.
Super Mario 3D World.
Mario Kart 8.
Sonic Lost Worlds.
Zelda U.

Zelda U is possibly the only reason I'm considering a Wii U, but the other games would be nice too.

I'm wondering, what can I get out of the Wii U that I simpily can't with either PS4 or Xbox One?

If I choose the Wii U, I'm kissing away Killzone, Elder Scrolls, Fable, God of War and Halo. Is the Wii U really worth that?

Oh. Does the Wii U Pro Controller work with every game? The gamepad ****ing stupid.

Well, graphics don't make a game. I'm thinking getting either a PS4 or Wii U myself. Both systems have great exclusives IMO. It really comes down to which exclusives you like better.

I kinda like what the PS4 has already released more than all the games the Wii U has.

what are the games scheduled to release next year? looking forward to future releases?

sounds to me like it's not for you

Yeah, what SRT said. Your thread was basically being negative against the console. Why would you get one, then?

From the way you've described what you think of the Wii U, it sounds like you've already somewhat talked yourself out of wanting a one.

I'd say if you really wanna play Nintendo's first party games, then get a Wii U... unless the graphics and the Gamepad put you off enough to not be able to enjoy what the Wii U has to offer.

Are you able to afford/or eventually save up for both a Wii U and a PS4 or Xbox One? Why not do that?

I'd like to recommend it...but I can already tell the system probably isn't for you.

Here's a thing though. You don't have to buy a Wii U right now. You could wait for more price drops in a couple years or something.

GET IT!!!! GET IT NOW!!!!

I would buy it just for 3d world

Haha what? All of the multiconsole releases are last gen games, so technically only the exclusives are "next gen." I guess I just don't see any truth in that opinion, but of course that is just my opinion

If none of the games appeal besides Zelda U, then I would wait until Zelda U comes out. That may be a couple years. Also, the graphics of the exclusives will be great, since this is the first time Nintendo has output anything higher than 480i/p.

No, the Wii U Pro Controller doesn't work with every game, but I assure you the gamepad isn't ****ing stupid, at least NOT for Zelda games.

I think this thread addresses a question that Nintendo really needs to answer for its fans, the casual community and the dedicated community.

For me, simply the fact that the system has exclusive Nintendo games warrants the purchase. It's Nintendo in HD. Yum. And it's early days in terms of what the system is really capable of, since it takes years of tinkering to get the most out of a system. The fact that Wii U devs are already able to make the games look as good as (or slightly surpass?) late PS3/360 games should say something. But it'll have nothing on PS4/One down the line.

I really think you should keep an open mind about the GamePad. For one, you'll probably find it a lot more comfortable then you'd expect. It's kind of built for your hands to meld into its ergonomic design. The second screen functionality may seem unnecessary, kind of like a big DS, but it's so much more. It's subtle, but having menus, inventories, maps etc off of the screen and at your fingertips with the GamePad really makes games feel more fluent and immersive, especially with games like Zelda. The Wii U allows for much bigger games than the DS/3DS, so the advantages of not having to pause all the time and fumble around before getting back into the game are made much clearer.

But dude, you can forget third party support with this thing. It's been able to get a few of the games that the Wii missed out on, but after studios are done with PS3 and 360 and move on to their successors, devs won't bother with the effort it takes to port over to the Wii U. At least, that's what I expect.

If you're really aching to play the games you listed as soon as you can (and you have the money) then I say get the Wii U as soon as they start coming out. If not, wait. I'd say definitely don't write the system off. Nintendo isn't concerned with matching up to Sony and Microsoft, they prefer to do things differently, which usually means a great deal of compromise when buying from them.

I think I'd wait for Zelda U.

The gamepad just looks ugly and badly designed to me. But I guess I should keep an open mind. It might be as great as the Apple Pipin controller was!

Isn't the Wii U 32GB? The PS4 is 500GB, so I guess I'd be a fool to pass that up.

Oh god! You sound exactly like my roommate! Do you want to make your TV table look nicer or play games? If your answer is the second one then you should stop complaining about the Gamepad looking ugly and start looking at its practical use and its implementations.

Anyways, at the end of the line Nintendo won't let the fans down. We already know of some pretty good games that are coming up foor the WiiU and in my opinion, even some of the games that are already out (like Pikmin3) justify the purchase.
Gamecube sold badly but some of the best and most inovative Nintendo titles were developed for it.
The WiiU won't sink and Nintendo won't abandon it as many people tend to believe. Thealready announced games are only a part of what Nintendo has in mind for the system, there will be even more good games in the future. Miyamoto has already said that he is developing a brand new title for the WiiU, a new exclusive franchise and the studio that is currently working on DK Tropical Freeze has said that they will give high priority to a new Metroid title after they have finished with DK.

And no more of that crap: "PS3 games look better than WiiU games". No they don't! You can't compare The Last of Us with Pikmin3! Keep in mind that the best looking PS3 games were made 7 years after the console's launch. Wait for the heavy 1st party titles of Nintendo and then judge. I am sure that games such as X and Zelda U will blow our minds.

All in all, the WiiU won't have a big 3rd party support but the 1st party titles will be awesome as always. It comes down to what you wanna play...

So yeah, I hope that helped justify your purchase. If I were you I would still wait for Mario Kart 8 though so that there are even more games out when you buy it.

I can tell (like the others) that you don't want it, but here's some things I thought I'd like to add.

First of all, I think you should consider adding WWHD and Nintendo Land to the list.

Nintendo Land


Wind Waker HD


Pad


Btw, the Pro controller is really good in terms of controller. Better then Xbox or PS4/3/2/1 controllers in someways.

i won't get a ps4 untill they release a slim version a price drop and a extra controller. i bought a wiiu without worrying about any of that.

I thought so when I first saw it, but I find it is one of the most comfortable controllers to use.

I don't see any reason to buy WWHD. I still have the original.

I'm gonna buy a PS4 first, then see what happens.

HD visuals? Intuitive UI? Faster sailing? Tingle bottles? Whatever goats ur float :P

Good to see you made your mind up. Do you think you'll feel a little jealous when we're bathing in glorious Ninty gold?

I'd say the best way to go is a PS4, and then a Wii U. Unless you really care about Halo or GoW, but I'd say get the Wii U first after PS4. That's just my bias opinion though, I only have the money and time for Nintendo and I don't care for violent games. So there's like zero Xbox exclusives I care about.

Im a pretty big Nintendo fanboy...i would say buy a Wii U.

I really like being able to play a majority of my titles on the gamepad.

__________________

1) I don't care for HD visuals. The original still looks great.
2) I like sailing the seas at the original speeds.
3) I don't care for Tingle bottles.

Ninty gold?

The only Nintendo series I really like is Zelda. I play Mario when friends are around or when I'm bored.

The PS4 has Killzone, Knack, Flower, Resogun, and will have Rachet and Clank, God of War, GTA, Fallout, Elder Scrolls.

It will have a good number of series that the Wii U can only dream of.

I'd buy a PS4 just for Elder Scrolls, but I wouldn't buy a Wii U for all the games released so far.

Then why make this thread in the first place?!

I made this thread to see if I could dig deep to justify buying something weaker than my 360.

It's pretty clear you're in favor of the PS4 over the Wii U. Have you happen to test the GamePad at a retail store by any chance? If not, do that before passing it off as something "stupid".

As someone who prefers to buy an PS4, the Wii U's line-up for next year is pretty darn attractive.

The launch titles of the PS4 suck. Killzone looks pretty good but the gameplay is bad and Knack is a generally bad game (Wonderful101 looks and plays better than Knack). Flower is a short game, if it can even be considered a game and the rest are uninteresting. I would advice you to buy a PS4 after a year or so, when the real 1st and 2nd party titles will come out.

Now it's WiiU time. Super Mario 3D World is here to stay! And don't make me laugh! Nintendo systems always have the best series... The others just have more 3rd party support.

So in the first post, you say the graphics are worse than PS3. But in this one, you say you don't care about HD. It seems you have looked at the wrong things, because the Wii U isn't weaker than the 360. It sounds like you don't even like Nintendo franchises, so why even think about the Wii U to begin with?

Flower is a port and Knack is a platformer that Nintendo wouldn't dream of making. You seem biased towards Sony, so this whole discussion is ridiculous.

You really sound uninformed now.

Im guessing you just made the thread, to troll the people actually legitimately trying give you suggestions.

You obviously aren't worth the time.

Like I said, I only really like Zelda.

And, that's not so true. I don't have a bias, I've had every Xbox except the One.

When the Wii U gets 500gb, and can run Skyrim, call mah.

Adam3000 isn't getting a Wii U, and that's pretty much it.

Closing this.

Thanks for wasting everyone's time, Adam3000.
