Ok, we all saw that nintendo did a bad job at getting us excited for the new hardware. Was just wondering if it actually changed anyone's mind in purchasing it?

I didn't intend to buy it but kept an open mind about it.. but this e3 made me sure i was not getting one (at least not at launch).

How about you guys?

So far all they did for me was give me strong doubts. Really worried for the next gen.

I will get one, but after their conference I've decided I'd be better off waiting until around fall of 2013.

I hadn't seen any reason to buy one before this E3, and I didn't see any reason to buy one at this E3.

I've always been eager to get new Nintendo consoles, but I'm definitely going to wait on Wii U. I want to see some great exclusives for it other than New Super Mario Brothers and some good third party games that don't consist of ports released earlier before I consider purchasing one.

I was planning on getting a WiiU day 1 but changed my mind. I can't justify the price what ever it is just for pikmin 3. I can get all the mulitplats I want on my PS3. I'm gonna wait till it has more 1st party stuff and a price drop.

I'm more excited than I was before. Have my pre-order almost paid off and waiting. A launch line up of Rayman Legends, Dark Siders 2, Ninja Gaiden 3, Mass Effect 3, ZombiU, New Super Mario Bros U, Pikmin 3, Lego City Undercover, Project P-100, Medal of Honor: Warfighter, Assassin's Creed III, Nintendo Land, Ghost Recon Onilne, Scribblenauts Unlimited is amazing. Yes, a lot of those games are launch or launch window games. This blows my mind. ZombiU sounds like a refreshing take on the Zombie game and Pikmin 3 is glorious. But I also understand that making games like Nintendo Land, SiNG serves a purpose and I didn't mind those portions of the conferences. I'm not the only gamer in the world after all.

I agree I was going to get it at launch anyway.

They announced a lot of games that look interesting. 3 games I definitely have to get when I purchase it at launch are Project P-100, Pikmin 3, and New Super Mario Bros. U.

I'm not trying to convince you or anything but I think third party exclusives like Project P-100, ZombiU and Rayman Legends is a pretty good start.

I may not get one at launch, but I will absolutely get one before the summer of next year. I never buy consoles within the "launch window" except for the Wii, because I wanted to play Twilight Princess on the Wii.

The only thing that has any hopes of swaying my mind into getting one is another quality Super Smash Brothers installment.

I was thinking buying wii u this year, but after that e3. Im going to wait year or 2 to see how well nintendo handles 3rd party support. Am I going to see games similar to the last of us, halo, gears of war, forza, gt, gta, proper versio of cod, skyrim, uncharted, tomb raider, RTS games (with that controller they should handle those).

I bought the e3 showing of wii and the hype. Worst mistake of my gaming life was bying that piece of sh*t hardware that is wii, though it had some good games.

Well I wasn't planning on getting one right away anyways, but I was open to the possibility of that. It definitely didn't convince me to get one though, but I'll give it time and see what comes out for it.

i am suprised someone voted for "I didnt want one before, but this e3 convinced me!".. each has their own opinion, but i just don't see how they werent convinced of buying it already last year (which nintendo did a much better job at revealing the wiiU)

Yes it did, and I will not get one, or at least not until the next 3D Mario platformer comes out.

So here's the thing, Pikmin is my favourite gaming franchise of all time and it's been missing for 8 years now. Announcing that Pikmin 3 is a launch game was actually the only thing Nintendo could have done to make me buy this thing day one. Otherwise I would have waited to see how things went.

I'm still not getting a WiiU. The potential is there and some of the games like Pikmen 3, ZombiU, and that P-100 game all really take advantage of the WiiU's tablet, but the whole thing is still very underwhelming.

I don't think it's making a 2012 launch, that thing just isn't ready. Nintendo had a very poor display of it during their conference.

It has to come out this year and is listed for Holiday 2012. Personally I'm calling November 18th.

I was playing with the thought. If it were an actual leap in graphics, some more interesting games (that interest ME) and it came with a blu-ray drive then maybe. ATM I'm not interested in it.. at all..

It doesn't "have" to come out Nintendo hasn't given a firm release date. If they did, they would have said it at the E3 conference.

No, the thing isn't ready. It doesn't have the development support they are gunning for and they have very few 1st party titles that are to the point of being shown off to the public.

I'm calling it right now, no next gen consoles in 2012. The developers and publishers want it but Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo aren't in the position to put a new console out yet.

IT has been a pointless gimmick since the very beginning, and it continues to be a pointless gimmick. It doesn't offer anything good to the gameplay.

No. I think they could do rts games with that controller very well. But this being nintendo... they dont seem to care about western 3rd party developers much. Its all about the "family stuff".

Maybe they're waiting to see when all their third parties will be ready and are gunning for the earliest release dat they can to catch stuff like assassin's creed III closer to when it releases for all conoles or something.

I will consider it when the other consoles are out, but it needs more of its own games. It would be good if they could get some real next-gen first-party/third-party IPs as right now they would blow away the competition if their graphics really are better than the PS3/360. Nintendo shouldn't rush the console out the gate it's clearly not ready yet.

If they make a holiday release, the console will be too rushed. I think they really want that holiday 2012 sales to give it a good start, but it's not appealing to the same audiences and they are not selling it to PS3/360 owners. It's not in a good position right now.

Wanted to, but they gave me little to no reason to believe in them. Then IGN's interview (pretty good interview on Rich's part) with Reggie kinda proves to me that they think core gamers just need third party. He talks about how they want batman and such. That is all well and good Reggie, but can you guess why 90% of core gamers buy your consoles? FIRST PARTY GAMES! You are not Microsoft. You cannot get away with releasing a console based around third party support. Nintendo consoles have always sold because of Nintendo games. If I buy a WiiU, it damn sure isn't for a multiplat I can play on my PC 10 times better.

Then Reggie goes on to act like SING is a frikkin core gamers game. Just cause Nintendo publishes it doesn't mean I want that crap Reggie!

I never wanted one, but I really wanted this E3 to change my mind. But instead, it actually managed to make me want one even less than I already did and I didn't think that was possible.
