Official Wii U Thread

Pick a character that looks fun. Press A or B and a direction. Have fun. Is it so difficult?

Now that we've seen their hand, are these exclusives enough to sell Wii U consoles in 2014 before the 2015 lineup is washed away by what seems to be the actual start of the current generation?

• Hyrule Warriors (September)
• Bayonetta 2 (October)
• Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker (Holiday)
• Super Smash Bros. (Holiday)

I'm particularly curious if anyone is actually planning on buying one, as opposed to just trying to predict the behavior of others (as I'm admittedly trying to do).

My opinion is that anyone who is is that interested in Smash Bros. likely already bought the console for Mario 3D World and that the other three aren't going to move significant units. That will lead to Nintendo's very strong 2015 lineup really not mattering as much as it could have with different timing.

Bayonetta certainly puts the icing on this year's best release month though for those that already have the system.

I've been holding off on a WiiU until I saw something that really made me want to buy it. With NSMB 2, SM3DW, Wind Waker, and this upcoming list, there's enough to warrant a purchase. Toad looks fun, Zelda looks amazing, and Bayonetta 1&2 together is a great deal (I haven't played the first one yet).

A lot more interests me on the WiiU so far than the PS4 and Xbone, and that surprises me.

I was talking to my coworker, and he is going to go buy a Wii-U shortly.

I feel like if you have a good enough PC, and can only get one console, the Wii U is a fine choice now.

I want the new dead rising. Everything else good is on an older system or pc.

[Some Stupid Japanese Name]

Dead rising is rumored to be on pc soon.

[Chux]

I don't think it's a rumor anymore, the trailer was posted.

[Diff-chan]

I want a Wii U now, mainly for Mario Maker.

Ok and Hyrule Warriors.

[Glass Joe]

Was Mario Maker for the WiiU? I thought it was 3DS. I'm too lazy to look for the answer.

[Shin Johnpv]

For Wii U, the picture of it even shows the Wii U gamepad.

[Glass Joe]

Nice! I would rather it be on the WiiU.
