Did this e3 change your mind on getting a wiiU? *POLL*

[QUOTE="Wasdie"]

[QUOTE="bonesawisready5"] It has to come out this year and is listed for Holiday 2012. Personally I'm calling November 18th. bonesawisready5

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.

I can play the majority of games on the WiiU on my current gen consoles. Getting a 9 month late port of a game isn't selling me the thing. ZombiU is a proof of concept and everybody is pretty much convinced it's a Red Steel showing. A redon version New Super Mario Brothers isn't doing it for me.

The launch is pretty weak so far if those are the only confrimed titles. I mean really really weak. Those 3rd party games won't take any real advantage of the tablet controller.

As I said, the WiiU is not ready for a 2012 launch if that is all they have to offer.

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!

I will give it time to see what it has planned coming towards it's first full year on the market so E3 2013 will be the deciding point for me on the WiiU but after this showing and what it has coming I'm not in the slightest bit convinced and neither do most of the people on here considering a WiiU unless your a die hard fan of course.

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

I'm expecting it to release this year, as I thought that was the plan. Though it would be interesting if they waited until next year to release it.

Yeah not a lot for it, but I thought the exact same way about the 3DS at first, and it's doing pretty well as far as games go now. The console looks nice and I think I'll like using the controller, but yeah I just want to see some games for it.

Though what if their mentality is "We're getting a lot of games late to the party." and they want to have it out now to have 3rd parties release games on the WiiU alongside the 360, PS3 and PC releases?

[QUOTE="bowserjr123"]

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.

bonesawisready5

If done right, they could be a good start. But then again, they could all become flops like Red Steel with the Wii.

I won't be getting one.

It's generally a bad idea to get a console on launch.

It's better to wait a few years to get an idea if the library will catch up or if the library will be lacking in the long run.

Zombie U looked quite interesting, but I'm not easily convinced by an incomplete game, and even if it turns out to be great I don't ever get a console for a single game. Most of the Wii U library are completely unappealing to me. In terms of hardware fidelity Wii U is still miles behind a PC, so to me it's just another console.

The WiiU was terribly underwhelming and so was Nintendos E3 overall

Yes. In a bad way. Or in a good way, actually, since I'll be saving myself some money.

I wanted one, but this E3 was so unimpressively boring I might wait for a price drop.

They have shown me absolutely nothing so far to be excited about.

Waiting for them to have a game big enough to get me to even want to buy it let alone spring the cash.

There's always next E3 to sell me something, but I wasn't sold on it this E3.

I decided I was getting it when they announced it last year. This E3 didn't change that. The only thing that would make me not buy one is if Nintendo said they wouldn't be making any first party games and only third party games would be availabe for the system. But that would obviously never happen. :P

Grey_Eyed_Elf

It kinda did at first, but it's like... w/e now. I still want it. So if thou launch in black, then I shall drop a stack. Might wait a year though.

I was just baffled by the lack of any really impressive new games. It's making me wonder if their development budget just isn't up to the task.

If you're Nintendo, why in the heck aren't you coming out with, for example, a brand new Pokemon game that plays either on the 3DS or the Wii U with HD graphics and seamless online multiplayer? Why not a big budget new IP title? Why not an impressive new HD Zelda/Mario? Why don't they give people what they want?

Shinobishyguy

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.

bonesawisready5

Wow, I didn't know you could pre-order consoles, that's sweet, wish I had the money.

I don't get why people are complaining about the ports, did you expect it not to happen this time for some reason? The lineup is pretty solid, better than the PS3 was, from what I looked up. The first party titles are looking pretty great, especially Pikmin. I remember renting that game, forgot about it for a while though, got to pick those back up, wish they were longer. ZombiU looks promising, I don't get why anyone would compare it to Red Steel seeing as ZombiU had a playable demo. I think people just don't want new games to be good, what a shame.

Also, Bonesaw, you are right, I didn't own any of those multiplats, so now that they are coming to Wii-U I don't see a reason not to pick them up for that. SiNG (?) and all that, I don't care about, but it they want the console to get off the ground those are great games to show. They do have an audience.

But, yeah, the conference was about on par with Sony's, which wasn't very good either, I kind of overreacted at first myself, especially when they showed SiNG and stuff, but then I realized, "I'm not the only gamer in the world after all.", well put.

[QUOTE="Grey_Eyed_Elf"]

Well unless your a die hard Pikmin fan... but that game never sold well on the gamecube to begin with, just a bunch of fake boys running around saying its amazing but when it was out on the Gamecube it was completely ignored.

Grey_Eyed_Elf

Or maybe the game actually looks good :|

I never said it didn't... I'm just saying that there's a lot of fanboy's running around claiming that its enough for them to buy the console and how it was amazing yet the Pickmin sold TO THIS DAY 1.7million copies world wide. They making it out to be a must have. Its not. Never was, it was a niche game that no one really bought.

Maybe the people that did buy it thought it was that good, I don't see your point.

I'm satisfied with the hardware and the controller, I just need to see better games.tomarlyn

Nintendo only showed launch titles at E3.

YOU never will...

"I never said it wasn't good, but it didn't sell well and people like it a lot, they are lying.", there is no point here to miss other than you trying to put down a game without any reasoning or logic.

I'm done on this thread.

Seem's like fanboys will buy absolutely anything Nintendo s*** out.

I love how close minded gamers are i really do. How did we all get so conservative? I know so many far lefters in real life that are soooooo conservative with there games.

Its fun to watch all the pretendos and haters make stuff up about wii u.

Slightly. I'm PROBABLY going to get one..I'm a sucker for new consoles.

"Just a bunch of fake boys" praising Pikmin, but "I didn't say it was bad, but it didn't sell well so it isn't a must have." you generalized everyone who felt Pikmin was a must-have in those posts, Pikmin is a really good game, just because it didn't sell well doesn't mean it wasn't something people think would sell a system to them. You called them all liars, insinuating that the game is bad, but it isn't?

Shadow of the Colossus didn't sell much, but how much do you want to bet someone bought a PS3/PS2 to try it out? I know I did. I'm not even defending Nintendo here that is just really contradictory.

Guess what else? Whatever system has The Last Guardian, I will buy, but I must be lying, Shadow of the Colossus didn't sell well. See how that sounds?

lol at people that really thought Wii U would be next gen. Sheep will never learn.JohnnyCageMK

Was going to get it but now I'm not. They really need to show me some good **** if they want my money.

It made me want Pikmin 3 more. That's about it really.

I wanna see more of the interface, chievos, online system and I want to see more games for it. What they showed at E3 quite simply wasn't enough.

Well Nintendo failed atthier big chance this year, they did not manage to sell me the Wii U, infact they did the opposite, the hardware I do not care all that much about, but it is weak.

The true problem is what they showed, nothing really sold the Wii U, it was mostly run off the mill, it was a safe showing, and completely underwhelming.

If they have no wish to do new things, and deliver that hardware, they will fail with the Wii U. if it had the hardware, but showed me something new and exciting, I would be hooked.

So to me, Nintendo almost killed the Wii U by that reveal. too safe, too little excitement, and too little.

I was on the fence before E3 and right now I'm still on the fence.
