There are people on this board that are still Wii-only owners? That's just..... Wow.

If you count owning just a Wii out of the three current-gen home console systems (but still owning and playing handhelds and PC) as Wii-only, then you've got one right here.
I can get most of the games I'm interested in on the HD Twins on my PC, cheaper and better-quality, and I get all of the Wii exclusives and a good dose of handheld gaming. No need for either the 360 or PS3 here.

What's wrong with that?!
As far as I'm concerned I have quite a huge backlog of Wii/GCN games(many of them are exclusive incidentally) I still have to finish - and there's a bunch of things I have been holding off buying waiting for a good deal - to keep me busy for months to come; yes, I know I have missed some good games for sure, but I can deal with it since I have many other interests apart from videogames.
You mean AMD, Ati brand is dead.
Highly subjective matter, I think.There are people on this board that are still Wii-only owners? That's just..... Wow.
Well if you have a PC it's different. Yeah you miss out on the PS3 exclusives and some 360 ones, but you still have access to most of the big HD titles of this generation. I'm talking about those that are handheld and Wii exclusive. Those that dont have access to the big HD titles like Portal 2, Arkham City, Skyrim, etc.
It just blows my mind that people on this board haven't have the chance to play or want to play any of the HD titles. A used Xbox 360 arcade can be picked up for less then $100 now so I don't see what is stopping anyone anymore....

Would double dip if it's improved but I already beat it twice on the 360. Good game and good enough to come back. And Dat Joker voice.I'm surprised there are people actually anticipating Arkham City...well I guess there is you peculiar Wii only owners
And they don't have to press a disc if they choose the smart choice and give us enough space plus the ability to redownload it.It would be foolish for Nintendo not to create something that contains Chase Mii and Battle Mii, along with other such titles, and include it in with the system.
The same goes the other way round.
Wii must be quite cheap now, so why don't Xbox360 and PS3 users buy one in order to play Sin and punishment 2, Mario Galaxy 1 & 2, Monster hunter Tri, Muramasa, Xenoblade, Donkey Kong country returns, Metroid trilogy, No more heroes 2 or Little king story?

My only console that I worship is the Nintendo Wii. I have the DS Lite and the 3DS. I've also had the N64, and the Gamecube. I've never owned anything else really. So I never had the golden opportunity to play the other games on other sytems. Sad but true.
There isn't anything wrong with it. Hell, more power to you! You have a ton of amazing titles to play, and you're trying to take care of your backlog (which I have a major problem with right now). I just didn't really imagine many people who visit this board not having access to any of the HD games.
It's just surprising I guess...
Well, it's not like I'm made of money. Wish I was. Still, if you own a Wii with a decent PC and a handheld system you have three potential moneypits. A lot of the games on PC are dirt cheap (got Darksiders PC for like € 7) and Wii/DS/3DS games are a bit more expensive.Well of course, that goes without saying. I mean you can buy a 360 and Wii now for less the $180. I probably should of made this clearer, but we are in a Wii U thread so I just assume most everyone in here owns a Wii so that's why I singled it out. But any hoo, it just seems... odd picturing anyone on this board owning a single home console this far into the generation. Whether it's PC-only, Wii-only, Xbox 360-only, and PS3-only; no matter what you can pick up another console for less then $100. And most of the great games can be picked up for less then $15 (besides Nintendo first party titles lol).

They only games I miss are the Sony and MS console exlusives which isn't that bad honestly. It's too bad I miss out on Uncharted or typical console games like Bayonetta and Vanquish, but I'll deal with it.
You know.... you can go pick up a PS2 for $30 at Gamestop. You probably could pick up 5 games with it for the price of a regular video game. Honestly, that would be a better investment then buying any new game, period.
Absolutely. But that's mostly because of Nintendo's output. I just can't miss it.But, I have a question for you (just playing Devils Advocate here so hear me out).
Will you buy a Wii U before a HD twin console?
Ok, That is understandable. Also, you have a PC so that's a bit different. But, I have a question for all one-console owners (just playing Devils Advocate here so hear me out).

I'm definitely not the type hehe. I have 65 Wii games and the one and only party game I own is the first Raving RabbidsI know I'll get roasted on here for saying this, but it's my honest take on that angle. And I know I miss-out on some titles, but honstly, I'm lucky to keep-up with the Wii's release schedule.. and I love older/VC gaming.

But what happens when you don't care enough about those games to buy a console for it? I don't think its worth the entry fee. For Wii U however, I might buy it for a higher price than a 360 or PS3, but for me it's a long term investment which will pay off as soon the Nintendo titles will trickle in. A Nintendo console has more value to me than a MS or Sony system, even with a few exclusive/console exclusive titles.As a huge Nintendo fan I understand where you guys are coming from (I'm going to do everything in my power to own a Wii U as soon as possible), but most of your answers make no logical sense as a gaming fan. One console/PC only-owners can buy an HD Console along with 20 or more awesome games you have never played for the amount of money it's going to take to buy a Wii U and two launch titles.
You assume we/I never played those games. I completed UC 2 for instance on a friends PS3.And the same can still be said for anybody who owns one-console/PC and is planning on upgrading to that companies next console without trying out what else is offered.

Once the Wii U comes out, my Wii and 360 are gone. There's nothing on the 360 and Wii I want to play this year.
There's two games I want to play on the Wii this year (and a third that already released and I own) Among 360 games, I'm definitely going to play AC3 (since there's no point in getting the PC version of an Ubisoft game if you value ownership), RE6, and the inevitable GOTY edition of SFxT.

Does Iherre been here??i wonder if anyone asked him if they're getting as good (or better)as ps360 performance with the dev kits and still manage to stream to the upad....

I fully expect RE6 on the WiiU. If it's not happening I'll get it for the 360 and then abandon that console except for the obvious Halo 4 which is a must simply for the coop campaign.
Also, the only other game on 360 I want this year is Ghost Recon Future Soldier, as that one is probably not coming anytime soon to the Wii U seen as they want to push Ghost Recon online.
Other than that my Wii and probably 360 sans DVD playback and Halo 4 are going to be completely replaced once the Wii U comes out. I might get a PS3 along the way if my meager budget allows for it, but I wouldn't count on that. Not this year anyway.
Since the Wii U is backward compatible, it would make no sense to keep it around. I might give it to a friend though.
Dunno. You're asking the wrong guy.But some people have missed out on ALL HD titles. You have had the chance to play them on the PC, but some people in here have basically played none of them. I'm just saying you can go out and get a Xbox 360 with a handful of quality titles for less then $200, and be able to buy tons more of quality titles you have never played for pretty darn cheap. Why miss out on that? Why buy the Wii U first for twice the price and a small but building library over something much cheaper with hundreds of quality titles that you have yet to play?
It does to me too.
