I'm curious - After playing Nintendoland are your friends buying Wii Us

The Wii really took off when people started playing Wii Sports/Play round at friends houses. I can think of at least 4 that were bought after people had a go with ours.

I have read many comments from around the web saying that playing Nintendoland with friends is a real blast, with people spending whole evenings playing the Mario Chase, and Luigi games. If this has been your experience too, have your friends then gone off to buy their own? If so, we could see a similar growth pattern to the Wii, despite the low key marketing efforts.

OP : After playing Nintendoland are your friends buying Wii U?

To answer the question posed as the thread headliner.

No, my friends think Nintendoland is okay. They seem to like 2-3 of the minigames, but don't love them and certainly don't like all of them. I get the impression from my friends that they think it's a novelty and something they can play at my crib. Of course, lately, it hasn't been requested, so I think the novelty is wearing off.

The problem is we have parties/BBQs that last from 4pm to midnight +, and the Wii U tablet only gets playtime for approximately 3 hours before the tablet needs a recharge. So, we play other games like Rockband 3, Singstar, Wii, etc.

The opinions I've got so far from about 30+ people is that it's pretty cool, but not worth the asking price.

That's my experience so far. I have BBQs and things all the time.

one of them bought it literally the day after playing it.

I had four of my friends over, so we had some good five-player Nintendo Land action (which is some of the most fun multiplayer gaming I think I've ever done) and a couple of them left with the intentions of gettng one soon... so almost.:P

Only a few of my friends have Wii U's, the rest either aren't interested or are waiting for the next MS and Sony consoles before they decide on one. From my experience of playing Nintendoland as a guest, I did not go out and buy a Wii U afterwards.. so..

nope, the couple friends ive shown nintendo land to dont really play that many games anymore, or dont plan on getting any more consoles to my knowledge. But we had so much fun. So glad I got the wii u. Those 4 hours of fun that one day was just ridiculous. Maybe i should get more friends.

No Nintendo Land didn't make the same impact as Wii Sport to Wii, overall it was pretty underwhelming. My sister's family came, played it..thought it was ok, they said - "Need more good games" before they will consider buying it. :P

I know at least one has, but most just had fun with it and that's all.

I had a lot of fun with friends and family members, but the only one interessted in buying it is a cousin. Most friends say something like "I really liked this Mario chase thing, but it doesn't justify buying a WiiU"

No. Though all of my friends had nothing but positive things to say about the hardware and Nintendo Land, none of them have gone out and bought one for themselves. I think it's mostly because they can't really afford it in these harsh economic times and they know I'll show them all the awesome Wii U games anyway.

Only one of my friends have played Nintendoland so far. At first, he didn't know what to think of the gamepad, but after playing several missions of the Metroid attraction, he started to understand the idea. I don't think he's considering a purchase, but he left with a good impression.

I have yet to try the system in general =/.. but if it ends up getting GTA V and new super smash bros details I will sell all my electronics for a wii U lol
