How hyped are you for the launch of the Wii U? #1

Compared to previous console launches, I'm kinda in-between the hype levels of the Nintendo 64 (so hyped as a kid!) and the DS (Okay, I might be getting one of those).

How about you guys?

Not much at all, but it'll change once they show their key franchises. I know that first Zelda trailer will make me cream my jeans.

Not really hyped at all. Combination of not every game using off-tv viewing, the Wii being a dead system so early on in its life, and it being a catch-up system to current consoles.

Launch window is solid and I almost always enjoy first party Nintendo games, plus I'm excited that Nintendo is actually going to digitally release all of their titles, so I'll likely pre-order on day 1.

When I see footage of a new 3D Mario, a new Zelda or a new Metroid, I'll be hyped. Now? Not really hyped at all.

Less than I was for the Wii, which I got at launch, tbh. Last time I bought anything at launch.

more excited for Wii U than I've been for just about any other console, other than Wii and SNES.

already planning on at least 3 launch (or near launch) games (AC3, NSMBU, Pikmin) which is more than I've ever been planning to buy for any other console launch.

Nah, I'm only a little bit hyped. NSMBU looks really, really good but it's not gonna sell me on it.

Well, as I've said in other threads, there are -at least- four must-buy launch window games for me, so I'm pretty excited. That's more than any other system in recent memory.

I'm neutral, strangely enough. That sounds bad, but I was neutral for the Wii launch as well. There are games I look forward to playing on the WIi U, but I've not been psyched since the 64. I wasn't sold on the GameCube until 2 weeks after launch I decided to finally play Wave Race on display. I decided that weekend I would go on a GameCube hunt just for that game.

I don't know if it's just age, or the lack of major things that make me go "I need that now!" on console releases. Either way, it's not as exciting as it used to be.

I'm allways hyped for new hardware but that hype will tripple if they announce a game I want. Like F-Zero/Zelda/3D Mario/Metroid/DK.

I dunno, I just don't care enough about Pikmin to get too excited. Outside of that game the launch lineup is pretty damn weak.

All I know for certain is that I'm not bothering with launch.

I'll start getting hyped when Nintendo finally reveals the launch date and price. I can't believe it's meant to launch this year and we still don't know these things.

Outside of Zombie U, there's nothing there for me. And who knows how that game will end up.

Mario ___________ will sell me though.

Wii, fool me once shame on you.

I doubt I'll be buying in the first year unless something amazing that's currently unannounced is released.

Not buying at launch. Perhaps will buy one after the consoles from MS and Sony are out late next year if and if only there are games on it that's truly attract me.

Pretty hyped. I haven't touched any games in a while so there's that. I am hoping to get it around launch time, and there probably won't be any shortages this time either.

Being able to hear the latest news, no less actually see games in action before playing it in person probably hasn't helped the hype.

Hyped for the launch window (Pikmin3, New Mario U, P100, ZombiU, Rayman Legends, TokiTori2, Trine2, Assassins Creed3, Fifa13, Alien Colonial Marines) but scared about the lack of vision about 2013 and about the lack of Japanese support.
Hopefully Nintendo Direct will fill these gaps

It has a 2D Mario (which looks very good), so I'm in. I'm also very hyped about Project P-100.
