Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

Where's LEGO Lord of the Rings? I'm pretty sure it's coming, based on how well the LEGO games sold on Wii (at least, I think).
I'll probably buy that if it's €30 like the other versions. :)

It would be really nice if big games like BioShock Infinite and GTA V would come to Wii U.

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

Did you try the Rayman Legends demo yet? I downloaded, but haven't started it yet. I did beat Rayman Origins today... as in 246/246 Electoons. Some levels are so hard...

Today New Super Mario Bros. U arrived! :D Going to play that now. Should be good. :)

Oh I heard there's this PlayOn TV app, which streams video content from free video sites. Apparently the first year is for free! I hope it's also available in EU.

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

Of course I am getting a Wii U - its a Nintendo console!

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

Nintendo needs to announce some killer ap. Is retro working on a new Prime? A new 3d Mario title in the works? Mario Kart WiiU?

If I knew any of the above titles were 6 months to a year away, I would consider picking up a WiiU right now. As it stands I dont see any announced titles that are worthy of a system purchase. Pikmin 3 will be good, but I was never a HUGE fan of the series.

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

They have said this is being worked on. No other details.

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

They've got Rayman Legends, Aliens: Colonial Marines, Monster Hunter 3U and some other stuff for Q1. And then Pikmin 3, Wii Fit U, Game & Wario, etc. for Q2. By then we'll have had E³ with some new game announcements.

It's not great, but all new consoles don't have that much in the first year.

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

smash brothers, Mario kart and retro said they were working on something big that everyone wants

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

Well, there haven't been any anouncements about Mario Kart. Smash Brothers appears to be at least a year away... and we still haven't heard anything from Retro. With the big guys having left a year ago, we don't even know what state the developer is in.

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

I really hope Retro is working on Zelda for WiiU. I think Miyamoto has hinted at that sort of thing hasnt he? Or at least letting a western devoloper give Zelda a try? I think when a game is in the hands of the same team for too long it can start to get a little stale. I loved Skyward Sword, but I believe it was slightly over-rated by some, including IGN.

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

It's quite the opposite

He's hinted at not wanting Western developers to work on it because would be difficult for constant communication between them and Nintendo of Japan

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

Eh, whatever. It worked with Metroid Prime didnt it?

I dont know, in my opinion Retro can do no wrong. So far at least. They have never made a bad game.

Nintendo is evidently working on getting the Wii U virtual console up and running, AND will have it so you can play VC games on the gamepad.

Good lord, that would be the best thing ever.

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

I feel like they would charge you to buy these games or a Wii U friendly version again though.

We shall see.

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

I don't think they will. The idea that you can already access this game on the same system by clicking one menu button, but you can't play that one on the gamepad, where you would have to click a different menu button to buy it again so you could play it on the gamepad...I think that would be too tough for most customers to swallow.

Re: So who's getting the Wii U?
 

I HOPE that's how Nintendo will think... But part of me fears they'll just bring it as a huge fantastic reboot that is totally worth paying for. :(

Edith: downloading the ZombiU demo right now.
