Wii-U thoughts so far

[Jamisonia]

I'm going to keep my Wii U after all. I'll keep it boxed up until Wind Waker HD comes.

The games will come, just be patient.

Hopefully Nintendo really brings it at E3. They need to show games worth buying the system for, and plenty of them.

I am waiting for this too, I would like to see some new IPs . But I am not too excited, because I have been waiting each year for them to announce something for the Wii but that time never came. The only games that are worthwhile were the Zeldas and Mario Galaxy. In fact , I like to use Mario Galaxy 2 as an argument that Nintendo had nothing to offer, so for probably the first time ever they released 2 Mario games in a single generation

It wasn't the first generation Nintendo had released more than one Mario game on a console, although admittedly it's not something they've done on home consoles in a while. The handheld consoles have basically all had multiple Mario games though.

I am trying. I plan on playing Mario on 3DS. If I love it I'll finally play the Wii U Mario game.

Sick of Nintendo Land. My friends and I just killed it by playing it so much. Still a very fun game.. But just not something I want to play for a long time. Sonic Racing is great, but I think I am going to get it on the Vita instead. A friend of mine still has the Wii U version so we can still do multiplayer over there. More likely to play it on the go. Scribblenauts was fun for a few hours. TTT2 I want to pick up on PS3 instead so I can use my arcade sticks. And ZombiU is solid. I am hopeful for a ZombiU sequel with some tweaked (but hopefully still challenging) combat mechanics.

Super Mario Bros. 1, 2, and 3? Did you actually forget those?

Plus the arcade Mario Bros. game saw a port to the same console, as well as a Mario's Time Machine port and Mario is Missing. And then there is Japan's version of Mario 2.

And then there was Super Mario World, Super Mario World 2: Yoshi's Island, and the Super Mario All-Stars series on the SNES, as well as the Super Mario All-Stars + Super Mario World collection and Super Mario RPG, Mario's Time Machine, the Mario's Early Years series, etc.

There is a Mayflash adaptor that allows the PS1/PS2 Arcade sticks to work as a Wii Classic Controller or try the Wii Tatsunko Capcom Arcade stick. Not positive, but maybe these might work in some of the WiiU games?

I'm assuming he's just counting the 'main' Mario titles, i.e. SNES only having World, 64 only having 64, Gamecube only having Sunshine, etc.

Point still stands either way though, Galaxy 2 wasn't at all the first time multiple mainline Mario titles appeared on the same console in the same generation.

Why is SMW2 not a "main" Mario title?

Yoshi's Island is a pretty drastic departure in gameplay, Mario isn't the main playable character, etc. Not like it really matters, though.
