The Wii-U doesn't sound worth getting until P-100 and other games come out. I'd say it'll be two or three years before the Wii-U has more than five games worth getting.
Well, after the horrible 3DS launch and the dull post-launch of the Vita, I'm gonna have to pass on this system probably up until Smash 4 comes out. Also none of the launch games really interest me. I didn't care for Rayman Origins, Nintendoland is just a mini-game compilation that I'm pretty sick of at this point, and I had to struggle to find interest in New Super Mario Bros. 2... so I'm not exactly looking forward to more of that.
I'll just stick to my Wii and keep playing Super Smash Bros. Project M.

I played four minigames, but there will be at least ten upon launch. I played one that used the controller as a launch pad to send arrows at waves of enemies. Another put you on the task as an investigator to capture a series of targets on photo. Another was a skiing game that used the Wii U controller for steering. The last was a group game that made the main player hide his avatar in a crowd and steal apples while the other players look on. At the end the other players use the controller to guess from a line up which of the avatars is yours and thus the apple thief.

umm whats supposed to irritate me? But if you say something incorrect I will try to help you with it.
@seymour, It is a "proper" warioware game its just different.
When you say not proper, it would mean no mini games.

This will be the first Nintendo system I don't buy at launch. I'll definitely get it, mind you, just not right away.

Some how I always find myself buy every Nintendo console to date. I think the Wii U is going to be the exception to this. Maybe I'll end up buy one a year or so after its release, but there really is nothing here pushing my enthusiasm, besides the thought of a few exclusive Nintendo titles, but that's about it. Also, I've never been a fan of this whole touchscreen fiasco. There's also the thought of some of my favorite titles solely revolving around the use of the Wii U controller and nothing else, which, in my opinion, would be a bit disappointing.
"Can you believe the Wii U is almost here?"
Nah I don't really believe it. With "holiday season" impending and still no announcement of release date/price, I'm not sure Nintendo is ready to launch.
I have lots of reservations about the Wii U, but I hope it ends up being great. The Wii and 3DS both have me feeling kind of burned but Nintendo used to be my favorite name in the business, and I'd like to see that happen again.

@caramel
look at history ie wii 3ds, ds were all priced and dated 2 months before
sept 13 will be that date for a nov 18th launch
its that simple
they are more than ready
the 3ds is the thing I play most these days second to psp.

Kinda weak for a hands on article, I expected something a bit more informative.

2 or 3 years? Haha. That actually made me laugh. I dont laugh out loud at comments much.
I have a feeling they will be dropping more than a few good games within the first months. Not to mention they now have alot better third party support. Chances are most games will be better on the WiiU until the other consoles move on.

I'm still waiting for a reason to get a 3DS. I have no doubt this system, like other commenters are saying, will be a 2-to-3 year delay on purchase before there are the required 5-10 games needed before I'll even bother thinking about this and the eventual price drop so I don't have to waste my money on what console manufacturers "think" their consoles are worth. It's not a PC so don't act like it's needs to cost as much as a full PC system upgrade which is about $400-$500 if you know what you're doing.
The only two games of note for this system are Pikmin 3 and Project P-100, neither are worth getting a system at launch for.

That's usually the best mindset, I didn't get a Wii till recently and now I can get most of their killer apps for almost nothing, not to mention the ease of hacking it to enjoy emulators and such.

I was burned by the Virtual Boy, Gamecube and the Wii, I will not be burned again. Before I buy the Wii-U I need games, I feel like that isn't going to happen any time soon. The good will you built up with the Nes, Gameboy and Snes has officially expired, Nintendo. I will not support you on promise any more; get your shit together or get out of the way.
Wait...the Gamecube. THAT was a great system. The last great system Nintendo made, before all this frigging arm wiggling. There was a lot of great games on the Gamecube. So, I'm just going to ignore you on THAT point.
@sppman2099:
The pathetically blatant nostalgia sucking is obvious coming from you.
And can we please get an editor that knows what he's talking about?
Hell, does anyone know what they're talking about in general?

"I thoroughly enjoyed some of the creativity employed in Game & Wario, particularly an archery based minigame, but I anticipate core gamers finding it bland and uninspired."
What the hell? So its creative in its minigames, yet its somehow bland and uninspired? Yeah, makes TOTAL sense!
"New Super Mario Bros. U was pretty much the same game we've been playing since New Super Mario Bros., but with added assist function via the controller."
And the Baby Yoshis, and new power-ups, and new themes, and new gameplay modes, and different artstyle, and all around different freaking gameplay.
At least saying its like NSMBW makes sense, but all that sentence is is another pathetic "its a platformer, therefore, its the same!" crap rant.
Not to mention how she's totally fine that Rayman Legends is almost the same game as Rayman Origins.

Yea, other NSMB previews state a lot of changes for that particular franchise, branching paths for one thing which is a pretty big change.
After PAX, I'm still not sold on the WiiU trying out Pikmin3 and ZombieU as the controls are pretty awkward (perhaps time changes that) and the lag associated with commands, it made ZombieU seem pretty sluggish
@Stealth
I'm fairly certain Game & Wario will be different from Warioware, with the longer and fewer minigames and a different tone. Here's hoping NSMBU is a true successor to World

Looking at the release list and if the games deliver on their promised potential, the Wii U is likely to do very well at launch, as long as people have the money for it. There doesn't seem to be a killer game in the lineup, but there are more good games, until we know otherwise, than the Wii launched with. Really they have most of the bases covered, Nintendoland and Sports Connection for casual gamers, a Pikmin sequel, a Rayman platformer, a Survival Horror game, a 2d Mario game. If all of these make it before the end of the year and turn out well, I think the Wii U will fly off the shelves.
I'm curious to know what people were saying about ZombieU.

@DonnyKD: I may be wrong, but I think that was commentary more directed at the core gamer who, if comments on gaming sites are any indicator, are quite jaded. It's perfectly plausible that the mini game is creative and fun to some, but others will find it stupid or silly, particularly if it all grabs inspiration from ios and other mobile platforms.
Oh boy. Another Nintendo article and another mass flood of Stealth comments 'correcting' opinions with 'facts', and TWO NEW Stealth-invented definitions! Stealth can't even look beyond his own subjectivity and converse with normal use of the language; it's hilariously fitting that he has to redefine words just to preach his fanatical gospel. It's further amusing that, even to the people who are similarly interested in the platform, he responds with curt and uninformative shit-for-replies. You show 'em, champ.
I truly hate how people say New Super Mario Bros. U is the "same" game. You may as well say that about every sequel on the fucking planet.
But the truth is, you scumbags only say it about Nintendo. We get it. You hated your childhood and now you're a grumpy "adult" that has to try to look cool and hip at all times, and that means you need to be sarcastic and negative towards anything that your peers consider "kiddie".

You guys are SOOOO HARDCORE. I bet your life really reflects that of a seasoned and experienced human with adventure and uncommon knowledge!
Oh wait, you're just another politically correct doucher that will say anything to fit in with the majority mindset, nevermind.

Scrappy doo is right, usually you'd be hard pressed to find five games worth playing in the first two years of a consoles life cycle. It makes me cautious about the Wii U, but i am still hoping for the best this Christmas season.
@fetus, why would I do that? I have the same enthusiasm for any new piece of tech. Its afterwords we will see what lives up to what it should be. I still sometimes regret owning a vita but I stick with it and live to see a day it improves
