Wii U Discussion Thread.

... Lets say they have 4-5 years on the publishing rights, till those expire the other markets cant access those games. Now why would they port a 5 year old game to these consoles?

I was trying to say is that Platinum Games can "remake" Bayonetta 2 and release the game on different platforms.

[arceus7]

Sure but they could have wrote a contract so they could be sued for breach of it perhaps?

[R_N]

so you went from they'll port it to they'll "remake it" however many years down the line?

The Wii U lineup doesn't really look all that interesting to me personally.

Hopefully this doesn't live up to their sales expectation so they cut the price after Christmas.

nothing looks interesting to you?

Out of curiosity, what would? There's a fairly large amount of variety

[BCVM22]

BCVM22 didn't justify his standpoint regarding the situation, and instead of trying to sell his point across, he simply dismissed it.

What exactly do I need to justify? You said "I'm leaving" and I, being bereft of any responsibility for getting you to "stay" and in danger of losing nothing if I can't convince you to do so, said "okay". You're exercising your right as a consumer to elect not to buy something. Good for you. Rights like that are what separate us from the Russians. Damn commies.

With that said, what I'll never understand is why people feel the need to announce that. I don't mean to single you out, as you certainly aren't the only one who does it, but you are here and I am discussing the matter with you, so. If we - we being the users in this thread who intend to buy a Wii U (or 3DS, or whatever future hardware comes out, because this does and will happen every time, no matter the hardware or the maker) are in fact completely without any need to convince you to "stay", i.e. change your decision, why announce to us in the first place that you in fact intend outright not to buy one. Or at least why do so and then phrase it as you did. "I've bought every Nintendo console to date, but I don't think I'll be getting this one." Okay. Sorry to hear that, but... uh... did you want us to do something about that for you?

And then as a quick aside, you claim the system title of "Wii U" wrongly implies it's simply an upgrade to the Wii... after you've told us how you purchased the Nintendo, the Super Nintendo, the Nintendo 64...

Man, I'm still shocked and loving the fact that not only do we get it for cheaper than Japan, we also get it earlier. I wonder what the cause for the delay in Japan is. That said, I fully intend to get the Deluxe set, seeing as the price is very appropriate, the inclusion of Nintendo Land is amazing, and the stands are something that I wouldn't really want to miss out. Really looking forward to it, and hoping to find a nice steal on Black Friday to get an even better deal.

[arceus7]

^ Why not get it on a tax free day ?

I can see how the games look good, but as of recent I am not much into Mario games or shovelware. I'm not even excited for SSB4 because Brawl was such a disappointment after playing Melee. Bayonetta 2 does interest me but not enough to even consider buying the system when it launches. It doesn't seem to have that big title that's worth buying with the system. Of course, it's still too early to say that's it.

I'm expecting launch similar to 3DS.

These are both pretty normal, actually.

[Icay4321]

Illinois doesn't offer those... Plus, I'd probably end up saving more money with a deal on Black Friday as opposed to the $21.00 that I would save on sales tax. Still, way too excited!

EDIT:

That's a really bold accusation, especially considering that it doesn't seem to have the problems that plagued the 3DS at launch.

Could you tell me why, then? I still see it as kind of crazy.

[arceus7]

He says that because he has limited perspective. He see's ports and shovel ware, develops see wheelbarrows of cash.

[Grim Heaper]

...I just realized, was there any confirmation on the backwards compatibility with GC games? I vaguely remember the answer being no, but I don't fully remember.

[Bolt the Cat]

Least we now have a reason why there's only 32 GB in the Deluxe version:

Three terabytes though, hot damn that's a lot of space.

Okay, that might make up for the lack of memory. But how much will a 3 Terabyte hard drive cost?

I'm not saying it will for sure. But ports and a huge loss in GCN games is not going make me thing otherwise.

599$ kukukukuku

I suppose if you only focused on the negative (seemingly) that yours would be the expected response.
