Wii-U thoughts so far

[Frag Mortuus]

I LOVE the Wii U. I don't know what it is about it that I like so much. But here is what I have so far:

New Super Mario Bros. U
Super Luigi U (Physical Copy)
LoZ Wind Waker HD
Zombie U
Nintendo Land
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate

Wii games that I bought to play on Wii U:

LoZ Skyward Sword
LoZ Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime Trilogy
Super Mario Galaxy
Super Paper Mario
Donkey Kong Country Returns
Mad World

I'm primarily a PC gamer. When it comes to consoles, I will generally only buy the games that are exclusive to that console. Multi-console games, I will get on PC usually when they go on a huge sale on Steam.

My only gripe about the Wii U is their online strategy. Now, I know this is usually everyone's main gripe with the system and Nintendo in general. Whey they don't embrace the type of system that Sony and Microsoft have developed is beyond me. With Sony your PSN account is recognized on the PS3, PS4, PSP, and Vita. The games you buy are tied to your account and not your console. So, if my console crashes or I upgrade the HDD, I can redownload my games with no problems. I wish Nintendo would change their online strategy.

I agree. I HATE their online strategy. I probably would have bought a digital copy of WWHD if not for how much it sucks.

Right now I've got Wind Waker, Wario Ware, NSMBU, and Wonderful 101 (and the Nintendo Land that came with the console, but I don't count that).

I just beat Wind Waker. I absolutely loved it.

I currently only own WW and Mario/Luigi U. I just beat WW, I 100%'ed Mario (aside from the extra modes) and 100%'ed Luigi. Now I have no U games to play!

I really wanna play the second quest mode on WW, but as much as I enjoyed the game, I just don't think I can play it twice in a row. I'm looking forward to playing it again though.

I finally got a Remote Plus. I suppose I could play Skyward Sword now. Even though they're two different games, still, I don't know if I could play two Zelda games back to back. And actually, I still haven't played Twilight Princess either lol. Bleh.

I reserved a copy of Super Mario 3D World today. I can't wait for that to come out. I keep watching all the new videos that Nintendo puts out for it... it just looks like so much fun.

I just need something to hold me over till then. Hmm...

Still not very far into WW HD. Just getting the sail for the boat. And eh, it seems like a well made game. But as I often feel w/ Nintendo franchises, I just kinda feel like maybe it isn't for me. Hard to explain. I just don't feel 'into it' as of yet.

Don't know what it is. This is the one LoZ game that I've always been interested in. Mainly for the art style.

Give it a little while. I know I hate it when people say this, but the game picks up greatly as you go on.

It isn't that I doubt that, but keeping me interested until then is the challenge. I tend to drop games, TV series, anime, etc. pretty early when I'm not particularly enjoying it. Although sometimes I go back years later and wonder 'why didn't I like this?' Just a strange individual, I guess!

Actually, it was half price on the eShop the other week so I downloaded the demo. I don't know about it. I'd have to play the demo again, but it didn't seem like "my" kind of game.




Speaking of demos, I just played the demo for The Wonderful 101. I've been reading the talk of it in this thread for a while now. I get the whole, "I just started playing and I have no idea what's going on" statements now.

I wish there was a demo for Lego City: Undercover. I've heard good things about it (mostly from this thread) but I have no idea if I'd end up liking it.

MH3U is fantastic with friends. Me and some friends sometimes still play locally multi via 3DS or 3DS + Wii U.

But if you're just looking for a single player experience you may get bored fast. Not sure how fun it is playing online w/ random people either. Never really played it much on the Wii U when I had it.
