If you have a decent PC you should play Galaxy on Dolphin. It controls better on a 360 pad and is one of the best looking, if not the best looking emulated game. Looks way better than SM3DW.

I have a new rMBP that runs Dolphin very well but I hate gaming on a computer.
It was 720$ with 8 wiimote and 3 pro controller.
I am getting it with 4 wiimote ant 2 pro controller for 650$
yes all games.
70$ discount for a pro controller and 4 wiimote
it is ok for me, i m not going to use them either.
Yes, definitely. The Deus Ex HR port is one of the best ports on Wii U if not the best. Using the Gamepad in this game feels very natural.
IMO get them all for $720 then sell the Wii remotes and the Pro controller on the Buy/Sell/Trade thread. You'd get more than $70 for them.
TBH though, not sure if the games are worth the ~$300 premium on the price. Are you interested in playing all of them?
I know that the reveal at E3 was a bit underwhelming but I think Devil's Third has potential to be a really fun action game.

So my PS3 recently died but I'm in no real rush to get another PS3 just yet, instead going to wait for a price drop.
I have been thinking of getting a Wii-U though so have a few questions
I have been thinking of getting a Wii-U though so have a few questions
- Whats the difference between the 8GB and 32G models other than storage?
- Can you play Bluray movies on it and if not is there any rumoured updates planned for it?
- Can i add an external hard drive to it and play my .avi files/view pics etc like you can on a PS3?
- In Fact how does it compare to the PS3 with media functionality?
- Does the Controller Pro work for all Wii-U games
- Since this is B/C with the Wii can i play Wii-U games like Mario galaxy with the Controller pro?
- Can all games been played remotely on the Tablet controller?

Then you have no reason to buy the WiiU.
FTFY
I'm really excited to play LTTP, Super Metroid, Skyward Sword, Metroid Prime Trilogy for the first time...

Why would someone who doesn't care about Nintendo games buy a system that has nothing but Nintendo games?

Presumably to try them out because they're excellent games. He didn't say he dislikes them, just that he's never played them.

Exactly. Playing a lot of those games 10-20 years after they came out won't be enjoyable if you never played them when they were actually relevant.
selective quoting will make it difficult to make a point:
he doesn't know what he's missing, not that he doesn't care.
also, cool username bruh
What? Nintendo games are still relevant and fun to play.

The only thing dolphin smg got on 3D world is resolution. 3D world looks absolutely nuts. The final bowser fight is glorious.
yep, they are considered timeless classics for a reason
Hardly.
SMG1&2 let the designer's and artist's imaginations run wild. You never knew what was coming next in terms of mechanics or environments. SMW is really pedestrian in comparison.
and edit: as to the op's question, only buy one if you really like Nintendo games and already have a gaming pc and have played the wii catalogue on dolphin plus a 3ds.
Wii U is only really for Ninty die-hards.

You'll miss out on some great games if you don't buy a WiiU, they may not pack the same technical punch as games on other plattforms but they are fun to play, you could argue they are even more fun to play than what you get on other plattforms right now... but that's subjective of course!
Might as well complete the trifecta if you can.
My selling pitch is there WILL be a time where you get sick of playing those 4 systems you own, and the Wii U will be there and give you the fun you've been looking for. Even if it's not for that long, it's a good way to reset what you think you enjoy about games.
I think that's the biggest point about the Wii U. It kind of has it's own thing going for it that you might think the other systems can already give you immediately, but once you play it you realize they might not. It could be just playing from your gamepad and using the touchscreen, or how happy and pleasant the game you're playing is. You've been shooting monsters for weeks and sometimes you just want to jump on someones head, or take 100 of your cpu buddies and beat the hell out of a boss in a cool way on Wonderful 101. It's a really good "buddy" system. Like...if you own a next gen system or PC and a Wii U, you're pretty satisfied, at least I am.

I disagree. The games may not be for everyone and lack the mainstream appeal of Fifa and Call of Duty, but short selling the system with Bayonetta 1&2, W101,ZombiU, The Devils Third (#believe), XenobladeX (maybe/ likely Fatal Frame 5) and by all metrics unique games like Captain Toad and Splatoon as
"only for Ninty die-hards" feels disingenious.
Yes, the last 3 won´t come this year.
Especially when you can get if for cheap (200$ through Nintendo).

Hell nah, 3D world looks better. Artistically subjective but the added polygons do wonders for the artsyle Nintendo set to achieve with the game.

Thanks for the help
While I'm disappointed in the media side of things there are just too many games I'm interested in so think i will get one in a month or so
This thread is pretty much tipping me over the edge. In Australia the WiiU Mario Kart 8 bundle is $419 (~$380USD) so I'm keeping an eye on specials.
In terms of getting a couple of experiences that will be different for me vs what I have - is it a fair statement that picking up W101, MK8 and Mario World are generally the most recommended pickups? Bearing in mind I'm a single player gamer primarily.

Look at these delicious 60fps videos, if you don't like what you see - it ain't for you.
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8
Wind Waker Hd - this is actually 30fps, thanks Orniletter - I have WWHD but haven't played it yet due to recently having done TP and SS, don't want Zelda burnout, but am excited to start WWHD!

Add Zombi U and you are good to go.
It is one of the scariest games in recent years.
Edit: ^ Wind Waker is 30fps

Do it if you love Nintendo franchises. Otherwise, don't. MK8 is good.
Some of my Zombi U screens:
It's a scary game, death is permanent and you'll lose all your stuff (unless your next character can retrieve your bag from your now dead and zombified previous character). The gamepad beeping like the motion sensor in Aliens is intense.
Taking on more than one z at a time is pretty nerve wracking, it took me ages before I was brave enough to leave the catwalks and go down into this area:
Few of my shots have actual zombies because it's so scary when one is approaching but here's a nice one:

Its worth it and the price is low. Amazon sells it for $13.94 excluding tax and shipping. I grabbed a new copy off of eBay cheap for like $12 - $13. I played the game on PC both vanilla and the director's cut before I played the Wii U version. All content from previous versions is there in the Wii U version and if you are into the whole achievement thing they are in as well. The game itself is really fun and going from a constant 45- 60FPS on the PC to whatever the Wii U can handle still felt fluid and didn't bother me at all.

Doesn't read OPs, especially not his own
Have you played or even seen 3Dworld? There was something new every level.

Welcome to the Wonderful World of Nintendo.
Coming soon:
Hyrule Warriors
Bayonetta 1&2
Super Smash Brothers
This is bullshit, anyone looking into a Wii U. The system and games available are better than people give them credit for.

It's not that complicated. It has more great games than the other two consoles combined. And it's cheaper.
This really pretty much sums up the sales pitch at this point in this gen. It won't work forever but it damn sure works now.
not a musou fan at all but bayo 1&2 and smash will be mineeee
