Elliot Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 wut It's an exhange rate thing. We all know that the UK pays more than the US for technology, the Eurozone pays more than the UK, Australia pays more than the Eurozone and NZ pays more than Australia. So after you've gone through all that you'll be looking at like a bazillion dollars or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xBiG_BoSS-911x Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 The Wii U will be a flop unless some great games are made for it. I'll buy it if there are great games for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elliot Posted July 11, 2011 Share Posted July 11, 2011 The Wii U will be a flop unless some great games are made for it. I'll buy it if there are great games for it. I don't agree. The Wii has bugger all good games on it (5 at last count), and it's still a great success. The Saturn had some true gems and it still flopped, as did the Dreamcast. I wish it were as simple as "it'll do well if it deserves to do well" but that's not how things work in our weird-ass industry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casuals (read: >60% of the Wii userbase) are happy with their current Wiis though, and won't upgrade to the Wii U, especially if it is expensive. It'll flop.

Nagflar Posted July 12, 2011 Share Posted July 12, 2011 Maybe. Depends on whether there'll be actual third party support or not, and how expensive it is. This pile of dirt will sell respectably, though not as well as the Wii has, and everyone will praise it for its supposed "innovation" despite it being a pile of crap.

jackattack1398 Posted July 13, 2011 Share Posted July 13, 2011 No way will I be getting this. I already have a Wii, and I honestly think it sucks. I'm someone who has never really been a fan of Nintendo games (it's before my time, I guess) and I just really disliked the Wii's motion control. I don't think I've played the Wii in about 2 years or so, so why would I buy a new device? Besides, I'm already gonna be outta money after this fall and winter with all the great games coming out, AND the Vita being released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nintendo's first party lineup is better than Sony's and Microsoft's, not so much on the Wii but on the Gamecube and N64. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Nintendo 64 came out in 1996 (1997 in the US) and got discontinued in 2001. The Cube came out in 2001 and I think it got discontinued in 2007-2008, so your argument is invalid.

orenjikitty Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I watched E3 and laughed when they announced the name. I really dont understand the giant media fuss about it. The specs for the system is on par with the HD 360 and you have to pay for Nintendo's proprietary discs. The rumour about it only being able to handle 2 Wii U controllers is off putting, not to mention that you will probably have to shell out hundreds of dollars just for the controller on its own. It's just a no Nintendo. Sorry. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dreakon139 Posted July 23, 2011 Share Posted July 23, 2011 I put 'Maybe'. Can't really predict how I'll feel about it until it's out. It certainly won't be a launch purchase though... I'll probably just let friends get it and leech off of them like I did with the Wii for many years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
