Expectations? Ideas? Usage? Games? Etc.

I'm looking forward to playing games in HD!!!!!

For the first time ever... oh wait.

"Will NintendoLand be free?" This seems very important if Nintendo is serious at trying to make this the Wii U's Wii Sports.

TBA

Pikmin 3. Cannot wait for Pikmin 3.
And ZombiU has my interest, looks like good fun (even though I'll completely suck at it).

• Miiverse
• GamePad
• Pikmin 3
• Lego City
• Rayman Legends
• Scribblenauts
• Mario

I don‘t believe it will be free per se, but rather more packaged with the console at launch, or of course, not sold at full price. I‘m gunning for the former though, as NintendoLand seems to boast exquisite use of the GamePad, just as Wii Sports Resorts did with MotionPlus. But Nintendo‘s extremely unpredictable, so we‘ll see.

As for what I‘m looking forward to:

• LEGO: City Undercover
• Zombi U
• New Super Mario Bros. U
• Rayman Legends
• Miiverse

And NintendoLand to some extent.

Pikmin 3 and Rayman Legends.
I've played tons of Xbox and PS3 games, but why are these two SO MUCH MORE BEAUTIFUL? It Instantly convinced 2 of my Xbox dominant friends to take immediate interest with the WiiU.
Completely worth $300+ IMO.

The worlds first HD console ... Oh wait.
The return of F-Zero ... Um no.
Just Dance 4
Sing.

Really looking forward to all the first party games and the third party exclusives. HD is just a resolution upgrade, it has nothing to do with innovation, but it's great to have Ninty titles in full glory (although it's better in 3D like with the 3DS in my opinion).

Pikmin 3, Rayman Legends and Project P-100 all look like must-haves, and Lego City Stories looked surprisingly fun and diverse. I don't think that's enough to get me to buy one at launch, however. The New Super Mario Bros game looks pretty stale to me and I'm not sure what the point is of creating 2 different New Super Mario Bros games and releasing them so close to each other. I would have much preferred for them to have the successor to Super Mario Galaxy ready for the Wii U's launch.

I'm most interested in the Wii U GamePad. It will offer a style of control that I enjoy daily on my 3DS. Also, I can't wait for LEGO City Undercover.

Nothing, really. I do plan on buying it on day 1 along with a few games that seem somewhat interesting (Nintendo Land, Pikmin 3, New Super Mario Bros. U, Game & Wario, Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed and Rayman Legends).

It does have potential but it needs more games and a very agressive pricing (HW/SW).

I saw metroid Prime 4 and I assume its a Wii U game right?

The Gamepad itself, would love to see it implemented in things like Zelda and Metroid, Wii Fit U is really appealing to my partner as something we can do together so that's a plus for me too.

Plus I'm gonna give Nintendo Land more credit than it's been getting, I think it'll have a lot of fun packed in.

My problem with Nintendo Land is that it looks like a big sampler platter. Sure that could be a whole meal, even two, but it's supposed to be something that's shared so people might be able to decide what they want as their real meal. Now, I've never liked appetizers, and I already know what I want, but it looks like it's gonna be a while before we get to the main course.

Pretty much this. Pikmin 3 is, of course, Pikmin, but it's been so long, I don't think I can muster up enough enthusiasm for it to buy a whole new console for, especially since I'm still convinced it could've come to the Wii if they wanted. Rayman Legends looks great, but I think I'll wait for the reviews, and it's not a launch title. Same with Project P-100. Lego City Undercover surprised me a lot, but I may just get the 3DS version instead unless a major announcement convinces me to get a Wii U right away.

Actually, I doubt they could get a Galaxy successor at launch, and I actually don't think a Launch Mario is necessary. The promise of a new, innovative Mario game would've been enough, IMO.

I've also seen some people judge the Wii U too quickly implying that there are not that many great games and I say to that it's too early to tell.
