Has Nintendo convinced you to buy a Wii U? What would you pay?

Nope. Mediocre to bad third party stuff.

Terrible retreaded first party.

Barring some shockers in the next day or so, I will not be purchasing a Wii U for a long time.
 
New Super Mario Bros. U looks fantastic, but that's the only thing that really appeals to me. Pikmin and Nintendo Land look fun, but I don't think I'd ever plunk down $50 for them.
 
Absolutely not!

The lack of 3rd party games for the Wii U was telling. Nintendo completely shit the bed with this.
 
Beyond disappointed, they have so many great teams. We didn't even get teasers of anything that we didn't already know about. Nintendoland didn't cut it from me even though it seems way more interesting than Wii Sports.

This was as bad as the Wii Music year ... next E3 can only be better.

The plan for me was to get a Wii U at launch regardless, but this actually did the opposite. A miracle will need to happen now for me to get it at launch.
 
I made a mistake buying into Wii hype the first time around and got burnt and this has confirmed to me that Wii U will be exactly the same.

No sale.
 
I might get one a year or two after launch. Right now there is nothing console purchase worthy to buy it at launch. I've already been burned out by the 3DS.
 
I am still in shock as to how bad that was. Holy cow.

This was Nintendo's E3 to lose, and I think they lost it.
 
No. No. No.

Total disaster. What a wasted opportunity.
 
Staggeringly awful, particularly by Nintendo's own stated goal of appealing more to core gamers. Everything they showed looked like this is going to be Wii all over again.
 
Ubisoft almost convinced me with Rayman Legends yesterday, but Nintendo is really trying to convince me that the system isn't for me.
 
Nope. In fact they turned me off. I was so ready to believe. I wanted to just snap one up but they actually managed to turn me off.

In fact this E3 in general has sucked total complete shit. All 3 of them totally bombed royally.
 
That conference was so disappointing I'm tempted to throw away all the Nintendo consoles I already own. Let alone buy a Wii U.
 
Nope.

Most of the third party games were old ones. What about games like Watch Dog? All of those Ubisoft games, but it wasn't one of them.

Not convinced yet.
 
Lego City looks fun, but they needed bigger core-oriented announcements. Where's Zelda, where's whatever Retro's working on?
 
No. But then I've never been into Nintendo franchises (never had a Nintendo console before the Wii) and regret buying the Wii.
 
This conference was terrible.

The only reason why I am still considering it is for first-arty titles. There's bound to be a new Zelda, Mario, DK, etc... Pikman looks nice.

I'm not interested in any XBOX/PS3 titles outside of MVC3 and Fifa (can't play shooters due to motion sickness -- 3rd person included). So just based of historical data, I doubt I'll buy either. So I may just buy a Wii U for first-party and exclusive titles.

Some NintendoLand stuff looks pretty fun though: check out e3.nintendo.com
 
With that showing - good luck charging more than 249$ for it.
 
*eff* you, Nintendo...

I dont know, what I can say. I am just so enraged. Nintendo had the best opportunity to show they themselves care for the core-Gamer.

A new metroid, F-Zero, Starfox, even Kid Icarus, SSBB... Just show some glimpses.
Instead they show 10 minutes of Nintendisneyland.
They show a f-ing minigame....
