Mario and Zelda games do not interest me, and neither does any alternate control mechanism. Never say never, but I doubt Wii U ever gets on my radar.
Come on now, he isn't trolling, he is making a reasonable assessment of the current situation of the Wii U.
I'm 'once bitten, twice shy' regarding Nintendo consoles these days, but I have to admit that last night's conference piqued my interest. SMT x FM could be interesting, and I'm always down to play more Smash.
But what was up with all the Wind Waker HD gushing on my Twitter timeline last night? I enjoyed WW, but I don't remember it getting that much love back in the day.
Why is this news making people want to buy consoles today when the earliest one of these games will be out is Fall 2013, with most of them very likely being 2014 or 15? The price for these things will be $149 or $199 by the time any of the games people want for it actually come out.
I think you're interpreting "intent to buy" as "have to buy right this moment".
Several people have said in this thread that they intend to go out and buy one immediately based on this news in the thread. It really makes no sense.

Has there been any talk of release dates? I have no idea when any of these games are coming out.
Will i go out and buy one this year?
No
I do think it's convinced me that I will eventually buy it down the road when the price comes down and some of the games I want make their greatest hits list and come down. Just like with the wii and GameCube. Though did anyone really think these games weren't completely obvious? New Mario, Zelda, smash brothers and Mario kart is pretty much a generational given. Had they announced something like a new f-zero, pilot wings, wave race and a bunch of unexpected third party exclusives or original properties u would have been shocked.
Nintendo has unfortunately not done enough to change my mind on rolling with my PC and then snatching up one or both of the next gen platforms from Sony and Microsoft later this year. And as a piece of hardware I'm not impressed. 3rd party support looks to be a desert in a couple years(pretty much already is unfortunately) and I'm actually on the fence with whether I like the updated wind waker look or not.
No, other than Wind Waker, which they've announced for before end of 2013. They should be able to spit out the Yoshi game pretty easily as it's 2d, but the rest of these have no chance of coming out this year and most likely will be late 2014 or 2015. Something like Zelda probably won't even hit until 2016.
Monolith finished Xenoblade like 3 or 4 years ago I'm pretty sure they haven't just been twiddling their thumbs, Smash Bros is being co-developed by Namco to speed up the development process, Mario Karts usually get churned out pretty quick... highly doubt any of these are slipping into 2016. Don't even think Zelda will be 2015. Nintendo knows its up to them to support this system.
Man I am having a difficult time deciding how I should use my $200 Amazon credits.
The FE demo made me really excited for the game, so I was planning on getting it on launch day. I was also planning to use the money for Animal Crossing, Pokemon X and Y, and Soul Sacrifice for Vita...
Until today when I watched the Wii U Nintendo Direct. Now I'm being even more tempted to get a Wii U sooner. Gahhh!

Yeah, the $0.30 Balloon Fight sold me.
I wish I were kidding. God, do I wish I were kidding.
As a Wii U owner I hope you are kidding. Forreal.Yeah, the $0.30 Balloon Fight sold me.
