So I Got the Wii U
-
I decided to do it. Got the Wii U Deluxe Wind Waker special edition for the kids. The Wii U is for the kids, the Wind Waker is for @Dominica
Getting it set up right now.

I'd love to get myself something on it to try it out. But... there isn't a single game that I want on it. I've got some casual stuff from the Wii that I can play there, like Mario World, but nothing I'd put any time into. I'll probably play Wind Waker but so far, no titles of interest for me.
However it is looking like it is going to rock for YouTube, Amazon VOD, Hulu and Netflix.
-
Let us know how you like it!

@Mike-Ralston So far it is pretty silly as a gaming console goes. It's generally a lot like the Wii but the portable game controller is pretty interesting. As a "living room computer" for casual users, it's pretty good. The complete lack of games is a major issue.
-
Yeah, the library seems to be almost as laughably bad as the PS Vita.

Worse. There is a title on the Vita that I want to play.
-
I'm going to attempt Wind Waker. I'm no Zelda fan but I keep trying to figure out what everyone gets so excited about.
-
Mario Kart will be good. But literally no games announced that look interesting that I have found yet. Pretty sad.
I'm not really into platformers.

And what title is that? Wind Waker is okay... The upcoming Zelda game is going to be all Open World, I'm looking forward to that. And if Nintendo ever let Bethesda develop a Zelda game... Will never happen but I can dream.
-
Zelda is a poor franchise. No plot, no history, no character development. Super shallow.
-
Shhhhhhh you'll upset all the Nintendo loyalists... I'm over Console gaming, period. PC is much superior in every way, really regardless of any argument a console fan wants to make, unless we're talking money or simplicity. I find that Zelda has cool mechanics occasionally and introduces new ideas. The graphics are subpar, the audio tracks are disappointing generally, the characters have no backstory really and it's hard to tell what's going on or why you're doing it. But I do have to say that the series never really makes you do a ton of grinding or repetitive missions. Decent games, but WAY over hyped. Nintendo just rides on it's name and it's built in customers now, really, and it's a big shame. Wish they did better for being one of the three main console manufacturers. For Wii U though, there are a few good titles, but most are just generation wide titles, such as Mass Effect 3, Deus Ex Human Revolution, and Trine 2.
-
All three I already have on the PC.
-
The Wii was pretty awful. Hard to imagine the Wii U being much better.
-
@scottalanmiller Which game on the Vita were you wanting to try? Considering selling mine for pretty cheap.

Whatever the Uncharted title is there. That's the only Sony-only franchise that interests me.
-
@scottalanmiller Ahhhhh, Golden Abyss, It's an awesome game, along with Gravity Rush, Borderlands 2, and Killzone: Mercenary.
-
@Mike-Ralston none of those sound too interesting. I've got a backlog of games that I really want to play. No need to play ones that are just mildly interesting.
I don't really need any more games. Got so many as it is.
-
Now that you've had some time with it, what is the verdict?
-
Still not very interesting. Tried to play last night and wasn't interested enough even after sitting down to start the game.
