Wii-U thoughts so far

[RCBH928]

I am not after "wiggle your wiimote" or "Mario Olympics" or "Mario kart 3000e2" .

If that's all you saw for the Wii then you missed a lot.

I am sorry I didnt see much else. I tried...

Quite a useful guide

I saw some interesting games, and 3 must haves for me (ZombiU, Lego City Undercover and The Wonderful 101), but I want to wait and see if the console will get support past its first year in the market. Well....I'll still buy it then, but it's going to be cheaper, so I can wait either way

Check out Wiimote only games. There are a lot of fun ones there that do not have shaking the Wiimote, no Olympics, and no whatever you listed as the third one.
Anyway, if you don't like any of those, you're really trying hard not to like Wii games.

We got a list like this for the classic controller too?

I am not saying there is nothing that can entertain you on the Wii. I am saying there is hardly any games that makes me want to go out and buy a Wii and spend $60-50 on a game.
The list you gave me are all remakes or games on older systems:
-Klona -Megaman -Tetris -Punch-Out(sues) -Sonic games I hear they are "meh"

i really don't see much games in there that I cant find a similar game to or maybe exactly it on the ps3/360 , hardly justifies buying the console(I own a Wii btw) . there is one game in there that is interesting which is Metroid Other M which I might check out soon.

As for Wii-U , its the same story. Look at the great titles:
-Assassin Creed -COD: Black OP II -Ninja Gaiden...
All these games are ps3/360(last generation) titles...where is the new stuff that is going to make me want to go out and buy the Wii U?
Another New Mario Super Bros? Scriblenauts ? There is an iOS version for that! Just Dance? Lego City?

All games are found on older systems, where is the stuff that will make me buy the Wii U?

I like the screen in controllers, feels like a gadget and I can see a lot of potential for this one. But I am not falling for this one again. I bought the Wii because I saw a huge potential with the Wiimote ...boy was I disappointed. Sorry to say that the game that was closest to make my hopes true was Red Steel(original) .

i thought motion was the new thing with consoles but we got all games that had no need for motion:
-Metroid Other M , -Mario Kart , -Smash Bros , - Sonics , -RE4 remake, Metroid 3(fps) , punch-out , even Mario galaxy and Zelda probably work just as good or maybe better without the motion controls. Hahaha Okami works better without the motion controller on ps2...

So why did they give us this motion controller console then?!

no.

I agree that the Wii U is just the same old rehashed junk. It's the same old story of inferior ports or remakes with new controls. I couldn't care less about Assassin's Creed whatever, XBOX360 port #3, or any watered down EA sports games.

I look at my Wii games and, yes, it was worth buying a Wii. Hell, I bought it strictly due to Wii Sports and Mario Galaxy. However, I consider Mario Galaxy to be the overall best Mario game in the whole series. I count a total of seven Wii games that I would purchase again if I could go back in time. Seven! Seven over the span of almost six years!

I really wanted to buy this system, but with no killer game in sight, it has poor short-term prospects. I'm not sure it's worth paying the premium price just to tinker with the touchscreen for a year before a AAA first-party game is released. New Super Mario Bros is not the killer game. Sure, it would be great fun to have, but for $410 plus tax (total), it is no longer in impulse buy territory, and I literally have money to waste.

The Wii has a HUGE selection of games, you just have to search the pile for the unique stuff. There are some Motion Control titles that work very well, for instance Light Gun games such as House of the Dead work again on HDTVs. There are the different style of games such as Elebits that take motion control to more then just the shake. Then there are undiscovered control options such as the Flight Sim Sky Crawlers and Nights. Of note that the Flight Sim is made by the Project Aces team that made the Playstation Ace Combat series. I use of all things a vintage PS1 duel handle Flight stick for the Flight Sim and a PS2 controller for the Wii remake of Saturn Nights.

As for the WiiU? Too early to see all the capabilities but there is promise such as Project P100 and Nintendo Land. Yes there are the same characters, but some of the Party games such as Animal Crossing and Luigi Mansion are well done. Though the same name, a whole new game thru the multiplayer in the vein of Pacman Vs. Even on titles such as Piklmin 3 seems to be a rehash of the older version, the scroll ahead map on the touch screen as in Command & Conquer really adds to the game.

@ kingmohd84 - I covered a lot of this on both the Wii and WiiU back in my Wii Thread, posted a link a couple pages back. Maybe take a look, there are gems in the Wii you may not be aware of.

Maybe its just me, but I think I'm more hyped because I skipped the Wii and plan on picking up the U. That gives me a damn good trove of new (to me) games to play, which is good as far as I am concerned.

You realize that Nintendo is promising better graphics than any other console on the market, right? So watered-down isn't quite the right word here. I think you're looking for "enhanced" port. Like many PS1 ports to the Dreamcast.
