It didn't convince me to buy a Wii U, but if I had one already there's no way I'd be selling it and missing out on a bunch of pretty great looking games. Bit of a drama queen, are you OP?

Did the Nintendo Direct convince anyone else to sell their Wii U?

It did convince me to get a 3DS, but not sure about a Wii U. Maybe the GF will get it.
You realize it's sarcasm, yes?
I am like 90% sure this is a joke.

I feel like people would have been more receptive to all the announcements if they came during a more typically styled conference. It was freaking avalanche of Nintendo games

Absolutely not.
Still showed games that no one else in the industry are making to anywhere near the same level of skill and craft.
For those third party games, I have my gaming pc.
Cannot wait for the coming months.

Box of Bunnies' post is a textbook example of Poe's Law in action.
I never really agreed with that statement, until this E3.
But thinking about it and after seeing the games that have been show for the PS4 / Xbone I honestly think Nintendo would have done better if they had announced the WiiU along with the PS4/Xbone, with all the game that are currently due to be released before Nov/Dec as launch games.
The PS4/Xbone didn't blow it away in a way I expected and I think it would have stood up well

If anything, it convinced me to keep it.
And complement it with a PS4.
The direct convinced me I needed one. Mario Kart looks sick, X is looking great, 3D World looks like a great time, Wind Waker looks pretty and I already know its a fun game, Smash is Smash, haven't met one yet I haven't liked ans its looking likely that Little Mac is going to be playable so that's a plus.
All this on top of my desire to play Nsmb U, Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Zombi U, Lego City Stpries , Game and Wario, Nintendo Land and Bayonetta 2.
Personally I think Nintendo delivered in spades in this direct and convinced me I needed the machine.
Fake Edit: I also need DKC: Tropical Freeze in my veins.

This is exactly how I feel. I have plenty to keep me busy on the system currently. I will be getting Batman:Origins on Wii U thanks to the awesome usage of the pad in Arkham City.
Hmm not even close. But I love Nintendo games so it wasn't really an option.
This Nintendo Direct just made absolutely clear that I have to decide which one of the other two platforms* I'll have to pick, likely later rather than sooner due to my giganormous backlog.
* = right now I'd say 99.9% PS4, unless a huge policy backtrack by MS happens

Did you honestly play Bayonetta just to get aroused?
Wii Fit in Smash Brothers is really funny and clever. All of her attacks are fitness poses. She even does fucking pushups when she crouches.
Calling 3D World a port of 3D Land makes about as much sense as playing a game in the hopes of getting an erection out of it.
I'm with you on that.
I sold my PS2 years ago on ebay after much nagging from my better half.
But my paypal details weren't up to date or something and I didn't know my password and I was too fucking lazy to phone up tech support, so the money just got returned to the people who bought it after 6 months or something.
What an overreaction. Only things I would have wanted was a more surprising 3D Mario and Retro's game to be something else, but both 3D World and DKCR:TF look fantastic so who cares.
Mario Kart and Smash Bros. look terrific as well.
I don't have a WiiU yet and the Direct may not have gotten me to instantly buy one, but it did show me that there will be some very good games for it in the future. I'll either have to get one for Pikmin 3, or it could be the reveal of the new Zelda game that tips me over the edge.

Convince me to sell? No. Did I leave me satisfied with what Nintendo is doing? No.
Still disappointed with the new 3D Mario. I liked Super Mario 3D Land but that is absolutely not the direction I want them to take with the 3D Mario games on the consoles
If there's anything I think Nintendo has taken too much flack on is with Smash Brothers. I actually saw footage finally and it looked great to me. It's also so early in it's development that it probably will look better by the time the final product comes out.
I also feel like Mega Man is going to be really overpowered, but that's another discussion entirely (and btw, so pumped he's finally being included, and no announcements of anime characters (yet) is even better).
X looks pretty awesome. Definitely the most interesting of Nintendo's offerings right now. All in all I'm still meh, but at least there's enough software coming up that I will be relatively happy for the time being. I just am a little underwhelmed. I think if this is what Nintendo software will look like from here on out this will probably be my last Nintendo console.

I never sell systems anyway, but after looking at the Direct again, as well as some of the developers videos, I'm really pumped for quite a few new titles.
Mario Kart looks so much better than I expected.
Wasn't sure about Mario 3D World since it was completely different from what I thought it would be. But that's actually what I like about it now. It's doing something unexpected and I love how it looks. Very clean and simple, yet extremely detailed at the same time with a ton of tiny touches.
Watching the Sakurai video has me hyped for Smash Bros.
The Wonderful 101 still looks like a ton of fun and Bayonetta 2, well, I'd buy that whatetever happened.
Bit sad we didn't get a new Retro Metroid, but a game like that takes a lot of time to get right, so I'm glad it isn't being rushed out.
New Donkey Kong surely will be great, looking at the previous one.

Exactly. Lack of price-drop should not be forgotten. $350 is too much for this console and gamers are giving it a pass.
Seeing what the competition has, haha, not in a million years.
I felt everyone at E3 was playing it safe this year (including new IP's) but I dunno, even if Nintendo counts on their traditonal team of IP's it felt kind of refreshing next to all the serious stuff that was announced.

It convinced I made the right choice in not getting one.
Now to wait a couple of years and play some of the upcoming titles shown at E3 with my daughter, that seems more reasonable.

Strikes me as Disingenuous at best.
So you buy a console that doesn't really interest you for the full price of 300-350 dollars and now you think about selling the very same console that isn't even on the market for one year because of one presentation - am I getting this right?
You shouldn't own anything, not the console and especially not the money for spending it on stupid decisions.

The Xbone and Ps4 convinced me i shopuld keep my WiiU and that´s it.
Seriously, people over gaf were mad about one game at the Ubisoft show... the destiny or the agency or something..... The game is THE SAME THING YOU`VE BEEN PLAYING for the past 6 years! And the graphics are almost the same!
Really, im happy there´s a multiplayer focused 3d Mario. Because at least its something completely new.

When there is nothing left to watch on Netflix, I'll probably sell it for the Ps4.
