Am going to get one -- am more into playing games with other people in the same room which Nintendo always seem to nail. Wish it was a bit more specc'd up though...

Thought the Wii was brilliant the first time I saw it. I don't get this one. Though I'm bummed that I won't get to play New Super Mario Bros. U since I'm unlikely to purchase this.

I read somewhere that Sony has a similar thing coming w the psp / ps3 combo controller or something like that. I still don't understand how it works, wouldn't it be hard to have to look at 2 screens so far apart to play a game?
I can see it being fun to play a 2 player game w a buddy on the same couch, if both see their own screen, but then why would you need the tv?

I just remember being pumped about the Wii, struggling to get one during the shortages, then being on an endless downward slope of disappointment with virtually everything but maybe 5-6 games.
To the point I just disconnected it and shoved it in a drawer rather than have it clutter the entertainment area.Don't plan on doing that a second time. Don't plan on trying to find the tiniest fleck of gold amongst the shelves of shovel-ware either.
I do hope they can change my mind over time, but I doubt it.

Im with ETM. I was a diehard Nintendo fan since '85. Hunted down a wii after visiting like 8 stores on launch day, was happy and had fun for the first few months, but all these little niggling things started stacking up:
- the lack of nice HD
- the constant battery changing
- the cumbersome store
- the fucking nunchuck style controls
- etc etc.I finally got a PS3 a couple years after and was blown away at the graphics difference. I gotta say, as fun as a game is, it does make a difference when you have 2 systems side by side and one looks awesome and the controller is easier to hold, and all that.
I was dissilusioned with Nintendo, but bought a 3DS for my kid and its much of the same. Cheap gimmicky shit, poorly designed hardware, and an 'online store' that boasts maybe 3-4 good games, the rest being garbage. The 3DS was really the nail in the coffin for me.
Nintendo makes toys, thats it. Sad to admit it cuz i grew up loving them my whole life.. like over 20 years of having their back..

i played one today at my local fence, pretty cool. i like the way the new controller is going to open up more possibilities to interact with games. it's innovative and stuff.

I buy every Nintendo just to beat the new platform Mario. Picked up a Wii U a few weeks ago for my lady for Xmas. Unfortunately, I have to wait until then to beat Super Mario Bros U. /sigh
I will admit that Nintendo sucks when it comes to new games. On the upside, I like downloading and beating all of my favorites/classics: Breath of Fire, FF2, FF3, FFTactics, Secret of Mana, Zeldas, etc etc. I like Wii, but can fully admit that it's one of the worst gaming system out there for adult gamers (that aren't mentally challenged).
