I think it might succumb to the "3rd Console Curse" just like the 7800, N64, Saturn, and PS3 before it.

But it could surprise me and be great.

I loved two of the consoles that had a 3rd console curse N64 and PS3; I wish I had a Saturn.

Shenmue III

Phantasy Star V

Lunar III

Shining Force IV

A proper sequel to Manhunt.

Phantasy Star V or Shining Force 4 for next Gen consoles is what I'm hoping this is. But it's probably PSO2 or something that I don't care about.

Wife decided were going to keep the 360 so I'll probably just get a 3ds for now for the rpgs and so I can play with my son since he just got one recently. I'll hold of on a Wii U until Christmas if I can. Thank you everyone for your answers except the troll lol.

You don't want the Wii U

It has literally nothing you're looking for

In most cases multiplats (like Black Ops) are inferior and/or missing content

It's message system is poor compared to elsewhere

It's chat system is clumsy where the pro controller isn't even supported

What you're looking for the Wii U does not have and will never have, it'sd a different kind of animal

Just stick to hardware that has the things you prefer, if you want something different that lacks the things you like pick up a Wii U ALONG with whatever else you have.

For you the Wii U is a mistake

What content is missing from blops2 other than nuketown and the first map pack which only 360 has right now. Wii U has plenty for me such as free online, and off tv play which has been the major selling point for me as I have three kids and a fourth on the way in April. Plus a wife that likes to watch tv. But also it gives me and her something to play together since she loves Nintendo games and hates fps games which is pretty much the dominant genre on the 360. I'm just asking some general questions so I know what to expect. And most of those features I never used much on 360. The majority of my friends were always on Netflix and the only game we really played a lot when we did was blops2. I'm also looking for something with a good local multiplayer option and Nintendo usually excels in that area.

You'd think OP had a traumaticevent in the past where his parents were murdered by yarn of something.

Dude, it's only an art style, calm yourself. At least you're getting a Yoshi game, right?

It's like getting a new Metroid game, but Samus and all the enemies and creatures are made out of poop.

I can see it now: POOP METROID


How about Salami Kong Country, where Donkey and Diddy and everyone are made out of salami?

The Legend of Zelda Toilet Paper where Link and everyone are made out of toilet paper?


See? See how ridiculous this all sounds? Now you guys know how I feel about this. Creatures made out of inanimate objects is stupid as hell.

This **** is hellarious. I would play all of those, and I ain't gonna lie, I lol everytime I read stupid yarn. Good thread and looking forward to the new yoshi game. and and hopefully Nintendo sees these other game ideas. Poop metroid day one!

Thank you everyone for the helpful answers. Sucks about custom soundtracks but to be honest I barely used the feature on the original Xbox and 360. Hopefully they add a music service although I'm sure the bluray player I purchase will have something to cover that avenue. I forgot to ask also does the gamepad have any kind of built in mic for voicechat as the only headset I saw on gamestops website is like a hundred dollars. And does the online service have things like parties, messaging, invites in game and out of game, and cross game chat like Xbox live does? Sorry for all the questions but figured I would ask people with hands on experience.

I can answer some of those. It has triggers, they are digital triggers, not analog but that doesn't really seem to make much of a difference except maybe in racing games. Yes you can play while charging, the charge cord is pretty long too. I dunno about the soundtracks Don't think there are any music services, but I could be wrong Black ops is basically the same as the 360 with a smaller userbase. Outside of core team deathmatch matchmaking goes a bit slow or is non existent. No idea on arcade sticks You can use regular wiimotes for most things unless the game requires motion plus, like some attractions in NintendoLandmorattorm

What's the difference between digital and analog triggers?

And will the motionplus adaptor work or does it have to be the wiimotes with it built in?

I'm looking into ditching my 360 and going Nintendo only. I plan on buying a Wii U and 3DS XL in the next month or two, but I have some questions about the system.

Does the gamepad and classic controller have triggers like the 360 controller?

Can you play on the gamepad while it is charging?

Can the Wii U do custom soundtracks and rip music to the HDD like the 360?

Are there any kind of music services available on the Wii U like last.fm?

How is Black Ops II compared to the 360 version?

Are there any arcade sticks for the Wii U yet or will the Wii arcade stick work with it?

And finally can I use regular Wiimotes with the system or just motion plus wiimotes? I never bought the motion plus adaptor or the motion plus wiimotes all I have are the standard wiimotes.

Thank you in advance.

I've run into more people that believe all the fake concepts of the PS4 are confirmed Sony announcements than I have people who are clueless about the Wii U. The problem is all of these people are too lazy and stupid to properly research things and will come across one false article on the internet or on television and take it as fact. Their loss though.
