Armos Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 For those that have bought the Wii U on launch day. Is the system it's self worth the trouble waiting to buy? I'm considering buying the console when ever I get the money, I'm just going to wait until Christmas is over and everything chills down and getting the system for my self. Along with a new 3DS. If the system is worth it. Can anyone posts its pros and cons, etc? I'd be appreciated. I'm looking forward into buying the console my self. Hopefully we will see price drops within a few months. "Hopefully" Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arceny Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 The WiiU looks promising. (But most of the hype to me is it being an eight generation console; look how far gaming has gone...) But I'm really no help, I haven't bought the console. (What am I supposed to say? "Mom, its an eighth gen console. Wanna buy?" ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issus Posted November 22, 2012 Share Posted November 22, 2012 I dont own one yet and i will wait. How ever, I doubt that there will be a price drop so quickly after launch because Nintendo goes in minus for each console they sell, Well in other hands they go plus for each game and accessory people buy. And the prices on the games/console will probably not drop that much either, Its Ninendo you know. Well, I have read that there is some problems with the wii u, Some times it just freeze and need a reboot. Well its nothing new if you think about it, There is always some small issues with new console so close after launch. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I was thinking maybe I'll try the Wii U out at Best Buy or something before I decide if I want to get it or not. Thanks for helping guys. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StinkySnake Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 The gamepad controller is a monster to hold in my hands, and my little brother can barely grip it. For a next gen console it doesn't live up to the hype to me. i'd much rather see a better console for that price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zeth Ryder Posted November 29, 2012 Share Posted November 29, 2012 I've actually played the Wii U and enjoyed a lot of the minigames on Nintendoland so far, personally I feel its worth it. I've spent hours playing the games on there with my friends, the Metroid Blast is especially fun though Zelda Battle Quest is a HUGE challenge! I've gotten addicted personally to the Animal Crossing and Luigi's mansion minigames, those two are my absolute favorite. I will say part of the downside is some of the minigames you can only play with 2+ and cannot be played in single player. I actually had no problem with the Wii U gamepad, its very light actually and it felt comfortable in my hands, learning the controls takes a little bit to get use as it does with any new console but it doesn't feel out of the normal. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Librarian Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 I'll get it when a new Zelda game comes out, but really, it just isn't a next gen console. Sure the specs are better than the Xbox 360 and PS3 but not enough. Oh well, I would have really liked to see a Zelda game with actual next gen graphics. But it's not about that, it's about game play, and Nintendo's game play is always so polished and fun it makes you forget about the graphics and immerses you through that. Great job Nintendo. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armos Posted December 4, 2012 Author Share Posted December 4, 2012 I did see a page "Some where" that the Wii U's CPU is going to out beat the Xbox 720's CPU/GPU. But rumors are rumors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Conker Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 Considered how developers say it's even worse than the 360/PS3's CPU, not even true. Same with the GPU, too(I think). The things we'll be seeing the Orbis and Durango produce graphics wise will be comparable to high end PC games. -- Transmitted by an ancient satellite from across the cosmic web.

Arceny Posted December 5, 2012 Share Posted December 5, 2012 produce graphics wise will be comparable to high end PC games. Why is it that PC has like one of the best graphics, anyway? Is it because of all the modifiable components (like RAM and graphics cards?) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
