Guys I have been pretty excited about the Wii U for a while now. I think the tablet controller culd bring of new gameplay elements to the table, but my one big concern is there are only about 2 games that I would honestly even bother to look at at launch...ZombiU and NSMBU. Other than those two, any games I buy would be multiplats like Black Ops 2, AC3 and NBA 2K13. Im just not sure if two games warrants a purchase out the gate of maybe I should just wait.

I'm not usually big on HD remakes, but...

If they remake (no just uprez) Super Mario 64 and/or Majora's Mask I will buy a Wii-U.

That's interesting Johnny, what caused you to change your mind about the Wii U as I distinctly remember you joining us in the Wii U hype thread declaring a great deal of interest?

It's natural for people to change their minds. I felt pretty good about Kinect, PSP, PS Vita and 3DS when they were each announced and then quickly lost interest. Similarly I felt pretty negative about the Wii and PS3 and then gained interest in them. So it happens.

Want to see if it can be the new SNES (aka the best third party + Ninty awesome 1st party). Also assume Nintendo have some crazy fun uses for the Gamepad. Won't be buying but eager to play. Also, on a SW note, I hope it's either an utter flop or massive success in games and sales, so that SW can go mad again :P

Controller actually looks fun, the launch lineup is pretty dam solid and i'm excited to see the future of the console! After the system is launched I think things are just going to pick and gain momentum and were just going to see a lot of good games coming out for the system.

I'll be getting it day 1, getting consoles on launch is always a blast most of the time :P

Launch Window

NintendoLand
Pikmin 3
Wonderful 101
NSMB U
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate (never played a MH before)
Rayman Legends
Scribblenauts Unlimited

Note that I'm very interested in this lineup whereas there are zero retail games announced/released in 2012 and 2013 for either PS3 or 360 that I want. Huh.

----

eShop games including 1st party originals (like Pushmo on 3DS), 3rd party DD games (like Mighty Switch Force on 3DS), Virtual Console titles played on the gamepad screen (ideal for me, I hate gaming on the big TV, I'll sit comfy on my bed and play NES/SNES/N64/GC games) and also some WiiWare games I couldn't be bothered to check out on Wii.

Miiverse and Miiverse interactivity in games.

Since I want Nintendo Land, a black unit/gamepad as well as all the stuff that comes with it; I'm excited for the deluxe version.

----

I'm getting Wii U in January due to uni. B/W 2 and Paper Mario: SS as well as Crashmo + other eShop titles will keep me busy until then.

Games.

Plus being able to play most of those games even if my girlfriend is using the tv.

I have a Wii U coming next month, a 360 shortly after (friend is on me about playing online with him).... after that I will get either a Sega Saturn or TurboGrafx 16. And the one thing they have in common, they all play games.

EDIT: And those waiting for a price drop might be waiting a while. Just saying. Nothing wrong with that, I do the same thing most of the time. This will be just the 2nd console I am getting at launch.

I doubt that.

Wii U is launching holiday as opposed to March, the console market is healthier than handheld, its launch lineup is insanely good as opposed to awful, eShop & various apps available day one as opposed to 3 months later, Nintendo already sold 3DS at a loss and most likely doesn't want to loose money on 2 systems in one gen.

Nope. It's gonna drop way later than 3DS did, but a little earlier than Wii.

Here's the thing. I think that Nintendo has by far the best 1st party developers in the industry and they produced many of the best games of this current generatiion on severely outdated hardware. I can't imagine what they'll do with this boost in power.

Also PIKMIN 3!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! insta buy right there
