It's not worth currently buying because there's a total lack of non-Nintendo support so you get these very staggered releases, even more if the quality isn't there or you don't like that franchise. Waiting to see what NX may do will either pan out and you'll have plenty of WiiU filler around the NX games, or you end up waiting and it's just cheaper. It's not like there's a huge online community outside of Kart and Brawl, maybe Splatoon too where you may miss the boat if you're into that. Odds are looking how the other online Kart and Brawl games went there will be people blowing that up until the next system release of the franchise.

Wanting 10 - 15 games sounds like a buy to me. Why wait when there is that amount of games you want to play? And since he is going by metacritc means that's not counting future releases that he is interested in.



I was in that spot, and I had those games, but then the realization was there's Starfox, Xenoblade...and nothing else of interest basically. If someone is fine just investing in a system and only owning a dozen games and being completely satisfied, by all means enjoy it. It's personal preference is all.

ONLY a dozen games? I know a lot of us have crazy collections of games, but jeez, you need more than 12 games to warrant owning a system?

I'm sorry, what? A dozen desired titles aren't enough to warrant owning a system? How many are!?

Those who got Splatoon, what are your thoughts on it? If this already has been discussed, I am sorry I must have missed it between all the E3 talk.

Maybe now Nintendo will acknowledge Metroid has a fanbase?

I'm almost finished with the single player part of the game, but I've yet to play it online.

Wow talk about missing the point. The point was sustained releases through the system lifetime to warrant keeping it around, that's what the WiiU lacks thanks to no third party support. That I'm sure has been beaten to death in a thread this size more than once.

And personally for me, if I can't find at least 20 games I'd keep for a system once I move onto the next I'd enjoy going back to, I don't keep it.

Sounds like the WiiU isn't for you, then?

If any of you guys come up with 20 games he wants, the bar will move to 30.
