I know, I hate that all PlayStation and Xbox games are first-person shooters. No variety!
I wish they had RPGs, sports games, racing sims, adventure games, but no, they only have war simulators. Luckily Nintendo never releases the same thing over and over. Every Pokemon and New Super Mario Bros game is completely different than the previous one.
hahahaha... what's this guy even talking about. going round in circles. the the RPGs on those systems are boring as hell and we've seen better 20 years ago. the sports games and racing games are stupid simulations for fat lazy americans that don't want to go outside and do these things for real. they are also the same every year. then the war simulators. waste of time, the opposite of fun. at least with nintendo games they put new ideas in with the same franchises. ideas they made up to begin with..
Racing games are for fat lazy Americans? Okay, next time I feel like playing Need for Speed I'll enter some illegal street races instead, ram into people and use EMPs on them while I'm at it. These war simulations are far from simulations. They are games meant for fun, last I remember a simulation was operation flashpoint (it was called that right), which was an actual simulation and hasn't had a game in years. Sony's franchises have new ideas put into them just like Nintendo games. Same with many third-party franchises.
Every time I don't want to have fun, I pop in Call of Duty: Brown Warfare and spend hours wallowing in my deep state of not fun. If only some kind soul would rescue me from this state. Someone who would dictate what I should and should not enjoy and what I should spend my money on, because, obviously, their opinion is right. I shouldn't have played Call of Duty: More-Gray-Than-Brown Warfare when it released last year. I should have gotten out and played football when I broke my leg, not Madden. Or heck, maybe I should have just played Wii Sports, but I would have still been a fat, lazy American had I done that. Someone, please direct me to play New Super Mario Bros.: Grab More Coins, Yoshi's Island: Now With Yarn Graphics, Majora's Mask 3D: Because Graphics Don't Matter, Donkey Kong Country: Now With Realistic Fur And Camera That Scrolls In More Directions.
Sarcasm, hyperbole, and melodrama aside, let people enjoy what they want to. They can judge whether their time and money was well spent for themselves. We're all playing essentially the same games repeatedly, with a few changes between iterations. We can still enjoy games this way. Don't generalize or make assumptions about people based on what they play.
Just Someloggery
You have the right to disagree with me and the ability to consider anything valid that I say; Please exercise both.
So I apologize for the tone of my OP. I hate it when people attack my preferences for no reason. I did that and I was wrong to do it. I have a strong preference towards Nintendo for a variety of reasons. I won't play Sony or XBox (even if there were no other options) for many of the reasons I chose Nintendo. Basically, if Nintendo stopped making consoles, I would all but retire from gaming. But I shouldn't have generalized, and for that I apologize.
Now, having said that, I still think there is value in selling the system to those around us. Come December 25, all of my siblings ( I have 5) will own a Wii U (including Mario Kart and Smash). Their kids spent the Holiday weekend playing Mario Kart 8 and had a blast. I sold the idea of online multi-play hard, especially since some of them live out of state and it is a way to play with family. Now, as a result, my gaming experience will be a lot better. And I am happy it helps a company that I feel good about supporting.
Every day I put on just my DK tie and red plumber cap, pick up the holy game, the Metroid Prime Trilogy, and go door to door to spread the will of Nintendo.
In the name of the Hunter, the ape, and the Holy Plumber. Press Start. Or as I say it; "Hyah. Huh. HAAAAA!"
Oh, that last paragraph...
Next to my Wii U there's another system: an old fat white 360. Without it, I had no Dark Souls, no Fallout, no Dead Space, no Forza Motorsport, no Vanquish, no Bioshock, no Shadows of the damned, no Binary Domain, no Eternal Sonata, no Fight Night Round, no The Witcher 2, no Resonance of Fate, no Mass Effect, no ...
Sony and Microsoft = stupid FPS sounds like Nintendo = childish platformers.

Yep, I remember how thrilling was hunting dragons in my Ultima 7 experience....

So basically, I should save money to get myself a kit car or even better a ferrari, rent one day permission on Monza track and do the thing for real? thanks mate for the brilliant idea....
then the war simulators. waste of time, the opposite of fun. at least with nintendo games they put new ideas in with the same franchises. ideas they made up to begin with..
Yep, Every supermario 2d since 1990 is a Cornucopia of novel, brilliant ideas....

If you enjoyed Operation Flashpoint (as i did immensely), you should check Arma franchise, is made by Bohemia Interactive, the same guys behind OP. Flashpoint

Some 10 year old kid asked me if he should get a Wii U or Xbox One for Christmas. I said that either one would be good. I regret nothing.
That would be a good answer... if the kid wasn't 10. If a ten year old asked me what console to get I'd tell them that they're ten so the only console of the three they should be looking at is the Wii U. Kids shouldn't be playing games like GTA, CoD and Halo and those are the only sort of games you'd go out and get an XBOne or PS4 for. And the games that I'd let a ten year old play on those systems? Like Minecraft and Rayman? I wouldn't buy them an XBOne just for that.

I never played it, just knew it existed. Thanks for the advice though.

I agree with you, but I think that's something for the parents anyway.
Yes the Wii U is a great system, and I would recommend to people, but it's library is just not that expansive. And it's not just the same old thing on other consoles either, they DO in fact, have MANY MANY more games than just shooters.
Check out my YouTube channel if you love gaming, and Nintendo (especially Metroid) I think you'll enjoy my videos. :)

I tried to convince my mate who is a long time Xbox gamer that he should get a Wii U to go along side his Xbone and it was like banging my head against a brick wall.I already knew it was going to be tough but with that cracking deal on Amazon I thought I might have some luck but unfortunately not.He was just giving me the usual stereotypical answers,it's for kids,it doesn't have FIFA or Battlefield,doesn't have Live,nobody I know plays Wii U.He just doesn't get it,it could be a 2nd console for him but he would rather have a PS4 if he was going to have another.I know for a fact too if I he actually had a go on one he would enjoy it but I wont be back home for a few months yet so that'll have to wait.When the Bayonetta 2 reviews came in I told him there is a good chance it will get GOTY and he just laughed at me and said it would have no chance against Destiny,Sunset Overdrive,Far Cry 3 etc so I took great joy in sending him a link of the 5 GOTY contenders,which included Bayonetta but none the titles he mentioned.His answer?Nintendo bias

Definitely something for parents to be ontop of. Though if a ten year old asked me that question I wouldn't dance around it, they shouldn't be playing those sort of games.

I think he really was old enough for stuff like Halo (and probably already into it). I'm pretty sure that shooting aliens with colorful lasers won't exactly scar him for life. I'm also guarantee that he's heard swearing before at that age, and should know not to use that language at school and stuff. As for online voice chat, I don't know a single person that uses it.
I do think that Xbox One has a nice variety of games that kids would enjoy. There's Forza Horizon 2, Fantasia: Music Evolved, Dance Central Spotlight, Rabbids Invasion, a version of Just Dance that actually works, Project Spark, Zoo Tycoon, and tons of third-party games. Heck, I hate most first person shooters, and I still got an Xbox One.

Maybe I come off as a cranky old man when I say this but I don't think ten year olds should even be playing Halo. I don't know what the age ratings are overseas but here it's MA15+ (i.e. For Mature Adults, 15+, restricted sale) and I'd tend to agree with that age rating. For a well adjusted 13 year old? Yeah, ok, Halo is on the tame side for an MA15+ game. For a ten year old though? Nope, sorry. I mean I'm not going to do the whole "what are his parents thinking" thing like I would if it was GTA... because it's Halo... but all the same.

As I said, the stuff that is age appropriate for a ten year old on the system isn't exactly system selling material. If you exclude stuff that a ten year old shouldn't be playing the XBOne/PS4 don't really compare to what the Wii U has to offer.
