Maybe I've just had too many beers or maybe I just have that new console hype. But I'm stupid excited about the Wii U and Nintendo. I didn't do much with the Wii, haven't cared for recent New Super Mario games.
But now seems like a great time for long time Nintendo fans to get on board. I mean right now I'm looking at a new Mario Kart game, a new 3D Mario, an amazing Donkey Kong game, and Smash Bros. Those series are some of the highlights of my gaming youth and these latest iterations are receiving such high praise.
I'm even excited about Hyrule Warriors, Xenoblade X, and finally getting to play Earthbound. The system definitely has its issues (which of them doesn't) but I'm ecstatic about the quality titles they still manage to produce. Nostalgia might be what keeps the big N going, but part of me is happy to still be able to support the company that made me love gaming in the first place.
TL;DR: Hurry up and get here Wii U! Lots of great gaming to get down on!
