Wii-U thoughts so far

[Exhuminator]

Bayonetta 2's reviews are nice and the video footage I've seen looks awesome. If I had a Wii U I'd buy it right now.

I hope something interesting shows up, but thanks to those boneheads the 5.2 firmware torched my WiiU so I got a new one in the mail with all my data gone.

You seem to have a lot of hardware problems.

Don't mind him, Nintendo murdered his parents, shot his dog in the leg and ran off with his wife.

I want Bayonetta 2. The first game was a lot of fun, even if I liked the DMC games a bit more. I'm not sure I'm going to buy it right off the bat, though. The backlog is pretty darn huge right now.

I do need an excuse to play more stuff on the Wii U, though. If I don't get it, I should sink some time into the other Platinum game I have, The Wonderful 101. Right after I finish up Xenoblade. That's a short game, right?

Bogus, who told?! Seriously though since I got it back I've actually considered just selling the thing. I doubt I'll get the nerve up to do it though since it hasn't been out that long.

I will eventually pick up Bayonetta 2 in the coming weeks. I will also be waiting for Watchdogs. That's right! Watchdogs!

I can get it on other platforms but I want it specifically for the Wii U.

If you could get Watchdogs on a superior format why don't you? I'm really curious. The WiiU game supposedly is not no par with the others of similar strength and they won't be releasing any of the added DLC data if you're into that either. It's a stripped release for full price.

To show support, maybe?

First off "superior" is subjective, some people hate DLC, and Touch pad controls will be exclusive. I would get the WiiU version over the PS3 and Xbox360 if I was even interested in the game. Now PS4 or Xbone maybe not.

Edit: just read touch screen will only be a map but isn't confirmed, hardly anything is confirmed accept no DLC and it will use the companion app.

[Tanooki]

I know superior to a point is subjective, but I was thinking newer hardware (PS4) versus WiiU(last gen.) I personally refuse to ever pay for DLC but I know a lot of people love feeding that open cash register policy.

Wall -- Why bother? They already gave up supporting the thing other than all ages games yet they hold back supposedly an adult title and have zero interest in releasing it because the market isn't there for it. This game being so late will never sell the million copies needed to get them to bother so it's throwing money in the fire.

[Reprise]

Not to be a pessimist, I'm going to assume the Wii U version will be weak, with either minimal gamepad support (despite Ubisoft initially claiming the Wii U version was delayed so they could focus on this) or terrible implementation of gamepad support.
