Not really. The most hype i have for a console is wii and 3ds.

Wii u have not meet my requirement of at least three (hopefully exclusive) games that i want yet.

[cyberheater]

Alien Colonial Marines

Actually. This is the only game I'm really interested in trying on the WiiU. If the games good and the padlet works really well as a alien tracker then it should be an awesome gaming experience.

[JaseC]

Not at all. NSMBWiiU isn't the least bit enticing and the same is true of the other known titles, be they first or third-party. Additionally, EB Games AU is "estimating" a launch price of $598, which is utterly ridiculous.

[hardcastlemccormick]

I'm not hyped at all. I am going to wait and see what kinds of games are released for it, and how it does sales-wise to get an idea of where its headed. I like the launch games, but I want more than that.

I'll probably get caught up in the whirlwind of tech-talk about the console later this year, but I can't see myself buying one. This is what I said about 3DS, and that worked out beautifully for me.

[Always-honest]

Extremely hyped.

Finally Nintendo games in HD (i don't JUST mean resolution, but also assets in higher fidelity, etc.)

- Pimin 3!!
- News ways of controlling games. I'm very much used to dual analog controls, but i think it's a very unintuitive way of controlling most games. The new ptions can lead to better ways of controls and also to new types of games.

[Strive]

Eh, there might be more hype when the release draws closer. I don't expect there to be much hype just yet.

[pants]

Havent seen a game that sells me on the WiiU concept yet. When that changes I'm in.

[Santiako]

About a 4.5

[effingvic]

honestly not hyped but i love nintendo console launches and i always get them day one.

hopefully nintendo world does something cool. they gave out pizza and stuff i think when the wii launched

[Like the hat?]

I can't wait to see if the wii u game pad can be linked to a pc via Bluetooth. If so its going to be amazing.

[Derrick01]

It's not as low as the Wii was on my don't care meter but it's close. I want to see how that zombie game turns out and how the lego game does, that's about the only interesting launch period games to me.

[Joni]

Not at all. It seems to be really good if you have friends over all the time, but that is not the case for me at the moment.

[Lemonte]

Not much. There's not enough games I would like to play on WiiU. I may end up buying it day 1 but I still regret buying 3ds launch day so more likely I'll wait for second wave of games.

[Neff]

The main reason I'm buying one is so I can play Wii games in HDMI, and the possibility of buying GC games from the eShop.

There aren't any dedicated Wii U games I want yet, although Kamiya's game looks interesting.

[Spieler Eins]

Hardly hyped, even as a huge Wii fan. Though that's probably the exact reason why I'm underwhelmed. Beyond these Mii minigames and whatnot, there's always been gems on the console regardless and its final E3 reveal before launch was simply amazing.
This time, they are kicking the console into life with nothing but these super cheap productions and similar jokes when it comes to internal studios. That and Pikmin, which was actually a Wii game. And if the final event before launch doesn't give more confidence in the future beyond launch window, they might just head right into a drought before even revealing some fullfledged game for this thing.
Launch window looks acceptable apart from that (P-100, Rayman, etc.) but it doesn't convince me if I do not even know what's coming for the first or one and a half years at least. Also, despite P-100 and others looking pretty good, I was naturally expecting fullfledged Nintendo games made specifically for a brandnew Nintendo system, but there's simply nothing as of now.

WiiU feels like the least ambitious console they've made with this years fuck up.
Also, while I loved the Wiimote, they also completely failed to sell me on the controller, even with the actual concepts these Mii games (and the most underwhelming Wario game in existence) use.

[Sylver]

I will wait to Resident Evil Collection sure it will include Zero and Remake games with kind of great WiiUhazard skin, then will be the time to get the console.

[ponpo]

I was hyped for around thirty minutes and then my dreams were crushed.

[ghst]

i can't wait. most of the stuff we've seen on wii u so far looks on par, or better than the best looking pc games on the market right now, the online component will easily blow any of the current ones out of the water, and i can't wait to play TF2 with the wiimote, which is easily the best input device for FPS (as we've seen time and time again).

[Sid]

Zero hype for it...not buying,software doesn't look better than ps360 games while the hardware will be outclassed by the ps4/nextbox when they arrive and ofc no wiiu exclusives are of any interest me

[Aostia]

Actually. This is the only game I'm really interested in trying on the WiiU. If the games good and the padlet works really well as a alien tracker then it should be an awesome gaming experience.

the "absolutely small" video during the E3 that showed the tracker was great, imho (1:10)

http://e3.nintendo.com/videos/#/Deve...loniel-Marines

Obviously I stated it as interesting but I'd love to see it for real.

[AppleSmack]

Absolutely zero hype. It simply won't be the type of console I am interested in.

[GimMick]

I'm never hyped for systems, only for games.

I quite want to get the hands on NSMBU, Rayman Legends and Pikmin 3 but I wouldn't call this "hype" yet, and I want them because they're sequels of games I really liked, not because they're on a new system. Too busy playing other games for now, anyway.

[Herbspicesoy]

I don't really get hyped for anything, but I will buy one for Project P-100, Rayman Legends, whatever Retro has in store and 3D Mario. This is all non-launch stuff, so I don't have the feeling I need to buy a Wii U when it's launched.

[LuchaShaq]

This is probably the least hyped I've ever been for a home console launch.

At this point the only way I'm buying one is to flip it on ebay. Nothing was sadder/funnier than walking into a best buy when the ps3 was allegedly sold out and then flip it on ebay the next day for three times the price.


Flipping PS3s/wiis near launch paid for over a year of rent.


I don't think I will ever own a wiiU for my own use unless there are some shocking third party exclusive gems like SilentHill Shattered Memories which is the only reason I don't regret owning a wii.


Probably owning only one console early next gen and I'm not convinced the wiiU won't be in a wii like position where they can't get competent ports of 720/ps4 games.

[archnemesis]

Not at all. If I'm going to get one it's for either backwards compatibility or for late-gen RPGs.

Edit: I forgot about Dragon Quest X and a possible modern Monster Hunter with proper HD graphics, online multiplayer and dual analog controls. Those might be enough for me to get one too.

[jet1911]

I'm at the "want one but not if over 300$" hype level.

[Fantastical]

I'll start getting hyped when Nintendo reveals some big 1st party games. I hope they show some new games whenever they reveal the price and date.

[gaming_noob]

No hype at all and honestly, if it weren't for GAF I wouldn't even know it's about to launch. I had no hype on the original Wii too but was pleasantly surprised and occupied with it for a good 1.5 to 2 years of its life, so you never know.

[JustinBB7]

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.

Same, only reason I would get it, would be for a new 3D Mario/Zelda game. Everything else I get on Steam. So not hyped the slightest.

[Snuggler]

Eh, I don't really get hyped over this stuff much these days. It's just a videogames console, not a blowjob machine. I am somewhat interested in getting one though. There's nothing particularly exciting about the hardware, but the launch line up is very appealing (Rayman fuck yeah).

[Alex]

I'll certainly want one in the future, but for now I'd have a very hard time justifying the cost when I could spend it on software on other platforms.

[Won]

Pretty much zero hype. Never was that uninterested in a new console.

[mace999]

Couldn't be less hyped about a console release in years, maybe decades ......
Got burnt with the Wii buying at release and having no real games..... Got burnt with the 3DS buying at release, no new games, then price drop ..... Got burnt with the Gamecube

I'm not getting burnt a 3rd time ....... Sorry edit, make that 4th time

(I most probably will buy it tho, consoles are like Pokemon to me, Gotta save them all)

[AppleSmack]

Same, only reason I would get it, would be for a new 3D Mario/Zelda game. Everything else I get on Steam. So not hyped the slightest.

I wouldn't even get it for that to be honest. I did the same for the Wii, bought it for Mario and Zelda and I considered it basically a waste of money. Never used it after that since none of the 3rd party titles created ever interested me and if they did I found something better to play on PS3/PC anyway.

[Seda]

My Wii was stolen, so I'll be buying a Wii U with backwards compatibility being a big factor, I figure It'd be kinda silly to buy another Wii.

Unless the price is silly high.

But as for Wii U content, not much there.

[Silent_Ocarina]

I'm not particularly hyped, and I really think E3 killed the hype I had. I'm probably going to get it at launch because the line-up is pretty strong, but I'm just not excited to the point that I really, really need it right now. I expect this will change once we're given more information about it, though.

[Zakkath]

1/10.

And that's because of Rayman Legends.

[Vidiot]

Not very. I don't care about any of the games I can already get for my PS3 and while I do think NSMBU, Rayman, and ZombiU look good it's nothing I'm super "hyped" over. It's Nintendo so I know I want it but I've decided to ask for it as a Christmas gift instead of running out and getting one for myself day one.

[sext0n]

Not hyped at all. Slim to no chance I will ever purchase one.

[b3b0p]

Hyped.

Nintendo always get the most interesting and fun exclusives. Everything else is multi platform and that means Steam usually. If not, I'm still left with plenty to play. I don't need every great game, but I think this combo leaves me with the best for me to enjoy.

[ElectricBlanketFire]

Until they show more, zero percent.

[sext0n]

the online component will easily blow any of the current ones out of the water

You really believe that honestly?

[AlucardGV]

0 hype for me. i don't play mario anymore ( i really don't like those 2.5d marios), and there's nothing that interest me. well Nintendo still own Monolith at least.

[Alebrije]

Not much. only Zalda or Metroid games at launch could hype me.

[gketter]

Not very. I don't really plan to buy at launch but knowing my weakness for launch excitement might be suckered in. Rahman legends is really the only game I really like. There are a couple other pretty goods. So I'll try to just wait for more games before buying. Heh we will see how that plays out.

[Dennis]

i can't wait. most of the stuff we've seen on wii u so far looks on par, or better than the best looking pc games on the market right now, the online component will easily blow any of the current ones out of the water, and i can't wait to play TF2 with the wiimote, which is easily the best input device for FPS (as we've seen time and time again).

:-I

[DaBuddaDa]

You really believe that honestly?

I think he's dead serious.

[Pie and Beans]

It doesnt feel like a new console launch at all. Its bizarre. If it wasn't for Rayman Legends and P-100, it'd be hard for me at times to even remember the console even exists.

[Famicom]

Not at all excited. First Nintendo console I'll miss launch for since SNES. Hardware looks interesting, but I need more games. I don't specifically know what I want that'll push me over the edge, but nothing in the launch window is it.

I really want it to succeed and I hope third parties all jump on board and help the thing sell, but I personally will still be buying my third party games on PC as long as a PC version is offered. At the very least I hope Japan supports it fully so I can get those games on it, since Eastern titles tend to be my favorites.

[Stet]

and i can't wait to play TF2 with the wiimote, which is easily the best input device for FPS (as we've seen time and time again).

Can't process.
