Everbody seems to be jumping on the Wii U bandwagon. I hope the third parties take notice. I'm looking at you, Sega! Your arcade games are perfect on the Wii U.

Nintendo could release a console, mandate only 1st party games can be made for it, and eventually release a mario game and it'd be worth $250.

really, IGN...?
what's next, kotaku...? lmfao
these "journalists" are becoming as shameless as the fanboys that they created, and capitalist 3rd parties who created them.
back in the good old days, journalist was a cool honorable profession.
i mean, superman is one. spiderman are sort of, tintin is also one. so many of the comic celebrities are journalists.

Well now I'm glad I made this thread.
Haha, good to hear. It's amazing. The story mode is cool and laid back, but the mission mode levels are insanely good. Enjoy.
WiiU is as overly expensive considering the outdated tech inside, as the other two home consoles are. All three can't hold a candle to my gaming rig.
So the matter is settled regarding software. The WiiU had the best lineup last year, has the best lineup this year and has a very solid and competitive lineup for next year.
Owning all three, the time i spend on consoles is like WiiU>>X1>>>>>>>>>>>PS4.

I actually agree with the article, I've been biting at any opportunity to buy a PS4 or an XBOX ONE, but with their current library both consoles only have one game each that I have a desire to play. Nintendo on the other hand has released some of the best games I'll play this generation. Mk8, Smash and 3D World.
I also can't wait to get captain toad and bayonetta 2. The only reason I haven't yet is that smash on 3Ds, wii u and Fantasy Life have kept me busy.

As overpriced and horrible as those consoles with tablet CPU's on an x86 system?

Man, that's true. As someone who went with PS3 instead of 360 in part because of free online, and someone who games on PC and Nintendo besides Sony systems, I refuse to pay for PS+ on PS4. I'm not into renting services, personally, and I don't appreciate being forced to pay for one.
Why is Zelda the only one to get a specific shout out? If we're going to praise Nintendo games for ambition, then shouldn't X, the game that's above the rest by, like, country miles in that regard, be front and center? It's been almost two years since it was announced, and there are only two sites that haven't thrown it in the "Oh yeah, here's a bunch of other games Nintendo has lined up. Whatever." pile. I get that it's a niche game, but whatever happened to giving credit where it's due?
*sigh*
At least Eurogamer and ONM have good taste.

lol saw this on the ign comment board
pretty funny yet sad
but yeah i do like my wii u more so than the ps4. bring on 2015
It's nice to play Smash online forever for a one time fee of the system and the game. If someone wanted to play a multiplayer game online on the other two they'd have to pay a monthly/yearly fee in addition to the the cost of the games and the system.
It's sad that people still hate on NIntendo when they have solid games that work (sad that that part even has to be said) and free online. When I read people say "I'll get it when its $xxx" it's so annoying because once it hits $xxx they'll just make up a new number. If someone wants to take advantage of their xone or ps4 they'll have to keep paying for it until they don't want to play online anymore. Since right now the magic number is $200, $100 over the course of a generation is not that much. If $100 is stopping you from getting a great console you shouldn't be gaming to begin with. People complain that the Wii U has shitty hardware and that's true for today but Nintendo is working magic with it while other devs are just shitting on superior hardware. /rant
My principle is if a console has at least 10 games worth owning and playing for the system, that's a worthy purchase for me.
I now own more than 20 retail Wii U games on my system that I enjoyed playing the heck out of (not counting VC games of course). And I'm sure to own more of them next year. That's enough reason for me to say that the Wii U is definitely worth it.

One advantage of the Wii U is that it still strongly emphasises traditional console traits - namely plug and play gaming, reliable software, quick load times and if it is absolutely necessary, unobtrusive updates.
The other consoles, including last gen, seem well on the trajectory of having long installs, large title updates, frequent serious software bugs. This appears to me to be all the downsides of PC gaming with none of the upsides PC has such as dedicated servers, free online and a healthy modding community.

I'm sorry you were misinformed. :/
With a few exceptions, people generally decide within the first year of a machine's life span whether that system will be a runaway hit or a lesser success. Wii U happened to find its home at the bottom of history's chart for so long that nothing Nintendo does really matters at this point.

How about just straight up, Nintendo's games don't launch broken?
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors were pretty good too...

Other than the first point, I feel as those are similar discriptions of X one, and PS4 at the moment
The PS4 and Xbox One are very expensive for the amount of games on offer, but people are buying them for the potential they don't see in the Wii U.

It doesn't have enough single player experiences that would prompt me to buy it. Smash, Mario Kart, and 3D World are all games that while fun are not something I'd dedicate time to if I'm by myself. Bayonetta would be, but other than that I would only want X and Zelda and hopefully a new Metroid, all games that are a long way away. At the least they could announce localization of Fatal Frame but they can't even do that.
Though it bears considering that the PS4 and XBO are actually cheap compared to historical consoles from those companies (accounting for inflation).

3D world was fantastic singleplayer along with DKCTF. I also enjoy Smash's sp content, but that's more a niche opinion.
Bayo 1 and 2, X and Zelda are all either the best action game since the last platinum game, and the others are promising as hell

You know what? The screen-pad-controller is a god-send to people like me. My household has only one tv, and I can't hog it all day long - my girlfriend has her shows that she wants to watch. So what do I do? I sit next to her on our comfy couch and play some Mario Kart or Bayonetta off that pad.
I also heartily recommend the console to anyone on the fence about it. MK8, Super Mario 3D World, DK: Tropical Freeze and Bayonetta 2 are all absolutely stellar games, and will last you a long time.

Making threads about articles = beating people over the head..?
Yeah, because GAF readers, the ones who endlessly argue about hardware power and specs, don't have capable PCs for modern games.
Even I have one, and I'm an Apple man. C'mon dude, let's not pretend we are Luddites around here.
Someone stands over him and whacks his hand with a hammer if he doesn't click each and every Nintendo good news thread.

You really haven't. GTA5 is great but it isn't necessary if you got it on the 360/PS3 last year. The Evil Within was decent. Had some cool tense moments but didn't keep it up throughout the whole game.
Overall the Wii U has a better lineup than PS4 and XBone combined thus far. 2015 is looking good too.
That's me, as well. I have a Wii U for high-quality gaming experiences as well as a decent PC for this year's third party blockbusters and don't feel the need to purchase a PS4 yet. However, I will buy one once Bloodborne comes out next year.
