Quest For Glory II posted:That's an excellent write-up. I'd be curious to hear from people who don't own a Wii U and aren't interested in one, and why. And whether they'd ever be interested. I've become quite tired of Nintendo's half-rear end implementations of online social gaming. I was an early adopter of the Nintendo Wii, only to find it collecting dust after the allure of Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, and Animal Crossing: City Folk wore off. From the awful (Super Smash Brothers) to the acceptable (Mario Kart Wii), I was watching online gaming become stale and repetitive, whereas the 360 was able to deliver an online gaming experience that didn't leave me frustrated with the UI and limitations. I've steered clear from purchasing a Wii U because nothing so far has steered me to purchase a Wii U. NSMBU was beautiful, yes, but the allure quickly wore off (although I do like the premise of large-scale DLC). Beyond that, there's nothing that has me excited about the future of the Wii U. I think a lot of that has to do with not really seeing a whole lot of upcoming games from Nintendo. I want to see what the new Super Mario looks like, how the new Mario Kart plays, and hope to God there's a new Animal Crossing. There's no hype. I imagine E3 will hype me up for the Wii U, but I will never understand why it took a year to do so. Discussions about Nintendo rushing Wii U out the gate don't seem to far-fetched, given the WIP-feeling I get from the menu load times, development lull, and limited feature set (VC just getting off the ground).

I said come in! posted:The Wii-U is dropping by $50 officially on September 20; https://twitter.com/geoffkeighley/status/372741538180513792 I just can't believe they announced it so far in advance. Why not just make it effective immediately? Jesus, Nintendo.  OatmealRaisin posted:In other news, ducks fly, trout swim, Nintendo has no idea how to manage their branding. If this isn't proof of Nintendo leadership's inability to manage in the mobile world, I don't know what is.

One and the Same posted:So how exactly do you fit that fucker in your pocket? It's a goddamn square the size of a piece of toast. Did they really have to remove the clamshell design? What were they thinking? I think they're trying to emulate the tablet trend in mobile computing. But man, what a swing and a miss.
