@wolfblademusic: Actually that's not true, I know plenty of people who have a Wii U that won't buy this thing if it's not worth the coin, myself included. $400 is not bad if it has a good amount of third party support, since it's practically a portable console.
I'd be willing to pay $399.99 for it, but that's only if I feel that it's worth it at the time. I'm not betting on potential like I did with the Wii U, because that was definitely a bet that I lost. Nintendo has to prove its worth the value, and that the games will actually be there. They need some serious third party support to win me over this time, and Skyrim and NBA 2k17 don't cut it. At this point we'll have to wait and see.
I hate to say this but it looks good. I'm still jaded about the Wii U and Nintendo abandoning those of us who plunked down our money for that system. However, this to me is what the Wii U should have been. I like the idea of not being chained to your TV to play a game. I've already got both the PS4 and the Xbox One and I like that Nintendo didn't just make another box to sit next to my TV and end up collecting dust. Again I'm not looking for a gaming PC or graphical beast, which I feel is causing stagnation in the gaming industry, it's all about how pretty you can make it, and that to me doesn't equal a great game. This thing I could take with me to work and play on my break, or over to a friends house for a little local multiplayer fun. I will though hold back my judgement until I see something more concrete and just what exactly this system is capable of and what support it will garner.
@unreal849: More then likely the lackluster sales of Syndicate and the disastrous launch of Unity brought this into being. They probably realized that an annual release was hurting and exhausting the fanchise.
Anyone who bought the 8GB Wii U did that to themselves. Everyone pretty much knew you were going to need an external HDD with that model. Hell I bought the 32GB and still added the old 500GB HDD from my PS4 when I upgraded it to a 1TB. Use your brains people.
Mr. Miyamoto is 100% on the money. I still love games, but the games just don't give me that feeling that I used to get playing my NES, SNES or Sega Genesis. Developers weren't afraid to take a chance on something new. Now all they do is make cookie cutter copies of same genres over and over again. Every now and then there is a spark of genius but it's so far and few between it's ridiculous. People can hate on Nintendo and Mr. Miyamoto all they want but the truth is the truth, and the man is brilliant no denying that.
