my friends think im a nintendo fanboy, which is partially true. i started videogaming with nintendo and followed them since... (except the darn Wii)
my family thinks im crazy buying such expansive stuff, even more since i own a PS3.
they seem to think the WiiU is like a PS3...
but i have a feeling that...it might be,sadly, the last home console time for nintendo. So just like a great movie, when you start it, you wanna see the ending
i truly hope im wrong. but who knows... Sony and microsoft are strong competitors with power machinery.
Meh, only gamers I talk to are pretty stuck on 360 and/or PS3. Despite multiplat titles like Black Ops 2, Assassins Creed 3, and Darksiders 2 being on it, and Zombie U as an exclusive bonus they're adamant on playing on those other consoles.
Don't get me wrong, seeing these full on games with extra features on a Nintendo console gives me hope that there's be more to come, Wii U is really trying to cater to the "hardcore" market. So far alot of large companies are way on board, now just need to convince Bethesda and Valve (Far cry I know) the same but at least it's better than what the Wii had.
I think Valve is already convinced... dont you see that Steam logo into the WiiU home screenshot ?
now lets hope bethesda will come in yeah. imagine skyrim with that pad, having the map always visible and skills/magics/weapons shortcuts accessible on the touchscreen. oh man.
The only other studios im carving for make playstation exclusives only.... (infamous, god of war,uncharted,ratchet and clank...)

I think that was just a mockup not made by Nintendo. I guess a man can always dream... xP
Dad's reaction
Me: No, I'm goin to SELL the Wii-
Dad: And then you're going to buy another one.
Me: They're two different things, Dad!
Tell him it's a Super Wii, or Wii 2, or ask him if the NES and SNES were the same thing, or if the X-box and X-box 360 were the same thing, and ask him is the PS1, PS2, and PS3, were the same thing.
He'll probably figure it out then.. Or ground you for talking back...
My parents at first didn't even know the thing existed. I think they might be catching on to the fact that its a new system after I talked to them about it. My friends know about it but they aren't really keeping up. One of my friends sold his Wii because it stopped working. They all like Nintendo but they also have other systems. I have a 3DS that I still don't have any games for so like my friends I am just going to wait a little while.
My Dad said "Awwww, too bad" as I'm only allowed to play on the Wii 3 hours a week. Then he said something which I though was "So by December you'll be up to what, 3 hours a minute?" I have no idea, but he's not interested, by brother has said he's going to buy a 3DS for the past 1 1/2 years(he still hasn't) my sister hasn't played a video game in years besides a couple on he DROID, my big bro likes Xbox and doesn't have much money(not working and spending all your money on movies and Xbox games'll do that), my mom at most plays a word game once every few days, and I'm really the only one that really wants it.
I really hope Nintendo gets it marketing together by launch judging by these posts. It would be really stupid to have a system launch or the system itself fail because of poor marketing. I do believe there is a very good chunk of people who will not buy a Nintendo system no matter what, just like I can't see my self ever getting a Microsoft system and low chance of a Sony system.
Nintendo really should've changed the damn name. It confuses people and it sounds stupid. Awful idea.
i kinda have to agree a bit when i first heard of it i was like "what e.O" and thought is that what there calling it and though the name was in prototype mode or something but nope o_o
even though they did give a reason why they called it that but idk it confuses ppl and think its some random thing you made up when explaining the console >.<

i stopped playing mario kart now and moved on to luigis mansion :P
I really can't say this having the mass appeal that the Wii had when it launched. Wii Sports whether you like it or not was so brain dead simple that anyone could play and it was the multiplayer that really nailed it for families and friends. You could throw a remote to anyone in the room and they could start playing. This won't be the case with Wii U, only 2 tablets max and a learning curve.
My 12 year old, who is pretty video game savy, thought it was just a controller upgrade. My wife, after hearing about the WiiU launch conference, got in touch with me immediately and asked me if I thought we should order one (almost implying that she thought we should). I've got several coworkers who are pretty avid gamers and one of them actually went to GameStop with me to preorder.
i think there is still a lot of confusion about the WiiU and the controller. Nintendo's marketing machine definately needs to do a bit of adjusting imho.
