It's a DS and a Wii glued together.

It has some decent games though.

I like the Wii U.
Quite a bit. I feel it has a lot of potential, but I feel that most developers wont utilize the Wii U to its fullest potential. Still, that's okay.
I'm glad the Xbox One is already a flop. It'll hopefully get more people developing for the Wii U.
I'm actually tired of this focus on graphics. I feel it takes up too much time and money and is making games take longer to make and putting the focus where its not important. We need more focus on gameplay, characters, story, perhaps extras, etc. Make the game replayable. To focus on the graphics only makes the game look good. I want my games to have substance to them.
I wish systems would stop becoming more and more powerful. I think we've reached a point where we don't need systems to improve. They're fine. It's taking more and more money to make games and make games fitting for the systems of each generation. This is too much.
Also, I don't like the Wii U's controller. I want normal controllers like the PS2 controller or Gamecube controller; I want something very functional and doesn't focus too much on gimicks like motion control.
However, as a whole, I like the Wii U itself. It's powerful, its not too expensive, and its Nintendo.
Beats the Xbox One anyway.

That said...I want more good games on it.
Give me Zelda and Star Fox.

I really don't think the Wii U ever really had a chance in the first place. I can understand the "Fun for the whole family" appeal, but I can't really see it working out. The touch screen controller is kind of gimmicky and I can see how it can benefit (someone wants to watch TV, so I can take my game with me), but that will rarely ever happen in a dedicated gaming setup. I'm no big graphics-phile but Nintendo is just now catching up to the 360 and PS3. The Gamecube was excellent and could display beautiful images, but the Wii felt like a step back. The Wii U feels like one step forward and two back in the categories of graphics and games libraries (as all the Wii U has so far that is notable is ports of games that came out for 360/PS3 and Scribblenauts). I think that it is going to suffer the fate of everyone's Wii's, just sitting on the entertainment center, unplugged, collecting dust until the new Zelda or Metroid comes out.

I'll get it when a new Zelda game comes out. Until then I'm happy with my Wii!

Basically what I'm going to do, along with a few other games. I won't be in a rush about it either.

Wii U looks good, but the main game pad, with touch screen, I don't think it's confortable to play. The gamepad pro looks fine and more confortable. It's too soon to say anything, but I think WiiU will be a good console (not good like snes, but good).

I don't have any intention of buying Wii U right now, because in Brazil this console is crazily expensive:

the controls are quite comfortable to play.

I love my Wii U, I got the deluxe set around the holidays last year, I had buyer's remorse for a while, and I've learned my lesson to never buy a console at launch again, but overall I'm really happy with it, and after Nintendo's E3 presentation it only looks like things will get better. I think it's going to be the best console of this gen in terms of software, but I'm going to have to get a PS4 eventually just for KH 3 and FF XV unless, by some miracle, they end up coming to PC.

Most likely the will end up on pc or another console. Square needs the money so don't sweat it.

I highly doubt they will end up on PC because PC gaming is not very popular in Japan, they've been confirmed for Xbox One, but I'd much rather get a PS4 because while neither of them look appealing to me PS4 is far more consumer friendly.

After E3, I'm uninspired, while it's better than the X1, it doesn't have a title I want that has something just as good on 3DS or even the exact same game on 3DS (SSB, Sonic Lost worlds). Nintendo did well but only on their 3DS lineup and I expect TGS to finish the job.

When Final Fantasy entered the PC world ounce, i say as history repeats it self. That door it always open. Squares in trouble and trying to reboot and think they wouldn't care if is not very popular in Japan. Just make it a exclusive outside of japan.

50c is just too damn high right? Shame on Nintendo for trying to avoid the legal ramifications of kids having access to stuff they shouldn't.

The games are the same price. Since when was a new game not $60? You are just making shit up.

Have you actually played on a Wii U? Assassins Creed 3 looks every bit the same as it does on PS3 or 360. Hell it looks that good on the gamepad alone during the cut scenes.

I don't see any other service provider charging money. They clearly state within their manuals, or while setting up an account, that children below 13 will need adult consent. This 50c idea isn't going to do anything besides being a pain in the ass. Kids will either lie about their age, or parents who aren't paranoid will lie for them.

PC games cost £30 in general, PS3 & 360 games cost £30 - £40, Wii U games all cost £40 and up.
Just look at the prices here (£50 = $80)

No, but I didn't say that the Wii U looks bad neither. I was just saying that graphics can matter a lot. Either way, I'm not too interested in buying the Wii U, it brings nothing new to the table besides 1080p for consoles and a controller which will no doubt be used for nothing more than silly gameplay gimmicks, like the Wiimote was.

A lot of brand new games on the PS3 cost like 50 or 60 dollars.

Aye, the whole silly thinking that PC is not popular in Japan is what makes the Japanese gaming industry so mediocre today. It's obvious they will be loosing a lot of money when they don't make multiplat games like most of the AAA industry in the rest of the world does.

Multiplats in Japan? unless WiiU is an option, it's almost a no go, they only sell on one system unless both are Japanese. Take Armored Core for example once it became multiplat with Armored Core 4 only the PS3 version sold in Japan and that was the standard from then on.

Agreed, I wish they just stop looking at japan for whats popular and let them decide if we get ports or not. Japan is just to rigid when it comes to software in my opinion.

I'd only get one for Monster Hunter. Kinda tired of being forced to play Freedom Unite on a small PSP screen.

...But then again, I could get a Vita...

...Okay. I have little to no interest in the WiiU, but I'll still rate it higher than the Xbox One because I have absolutely no interest in that console whatsoever.

And that's exactly where the Japanese industry is so incredibly backwards. Who cares if Xbox or PC doesn't sell well there, it could sell a lot in the rest of the world. The Japanese market is just a tiny speck after all. It really seems as if they aren't interested in making money, or just don't understand that there is a world outside of their island.

nope the bigger names think is above them to share retail space with eroge
Alice and Leaf dominate the PC market here [ MMO's are manily tired to Cafe's here ] unless there console based

Falcon still relase game on PC all we need is another Bubble like we had in the 80's and 90's

for the most part thse is still honor in the Japanese Bisess world why do you think alot o names that are owned by biiger name still exist here
Taito for example thiu they been own by SE for ten years there name is still on the box

compare to what EA do

and the PS3 is more open to imports than the Pc cuase you do not need to Change you setting in ANY WAY or use nay app to play an imported pS3 game do you

and Korea is not open either
Many Korean massively-multiplayer online games require you to enter a South Korean residential registration number to register and play. someone else's number is a felony; you can end up paying the equivalent of$ 8,000

You miss my point, and bring in completely unrelated arguments.
I am saying they are terrible at business because they don't even attempt to exploit the PC market in the whole rest of the world. If PC players could also play all the Japanese console exclusives, the industry would make a ton more money. Why do you think CoD rakes in such huge amounts of cash? One of the reasons is that you can play it no matter what platform you have.
The fact that they somehow only seem to consider how the market is in Japan makes them short-sighted and ethnocentric, and is only making them loose money. Thus they clearly aren't optimised to the current market.

Of course, it is understandable that there is exclusives for the Wiiu, 3DS and such, due to the specific characteristics of these platforms. But any other game that does not rely on stuff like dual touch screens or motion controls hardly has any excuse for not being multiplat.

I'll be more excited about the Wii U when the games I'm looking forward to come out...

Super Smash Bros. U
Legend of Zelda: Wind Waker U
Legend of Zelda U
Monolith Soft X

That being said, I like some of the functions of the Wii U a lot. I love being able to visit miiverse while still being connected to a game to ask questions and get information about the game. I also like some of the extras that having a double screen gives you, like a bigger map or a less cluttered main screen. The Wii U feels a lot like a DS, but that's not a bad thing.
