Topic: What will be the "selling point" for you?

and when i meant by great metroid game, i meant one that is better than other M but is on par with or even exceed super metroid and/or prime 1. i'd prefer this entry to be a side scroller, more exploration involved but still a first-person shooter. oh and either retro studios or gearbox, who made aliens: colonial marines should tackle this one.

It just needs to be $150, offer far better graphics than what modern computers can, and have some of the greatest games ever created. Then I might consider buying it.

I realize that, but there's no need for them to put "3D" in the title as it does make it sound like a 3DS game. Although a 3DS counterpart would be sweet.

whoosh

I'm hoping Wii U gets enough 3rd party support because alongside Nintendo's regulars, I like the idea of having a console that may well just play it all. No need for multiple consoles or boxed games anymore....maybe?

Gamecube games for download would require me to change my trousers upon confirmation! It's Nintendo and I'm not ashamed to say Yes, I am a fanboy so I'll be buying it anyway! But let me share some complex maths with you, Zelda+HD=I need this!!!

F-Zero, Star Fox, or Metroid in HD. Just one Nintendo!

I buy everything Nintendo so for me it would be price. But also games and how they use the controller to make something fun to play with.

EDIT: Nevermind, just realised you were joking.

The eventual release of a new Mario, Zelda, etc.

I don't remember reading anywhere that the Wii U is going to me 3D-ready. Source please.

I think that's where the "selling point" part of this topic kicks in.

And that much would have been announced already if it was going to happen, I think.

Let's wait until E3 to be the judge of that.

To me that kinda reads "yes it can, but we're not going to push it hard. If someone wants to make a 3D game we're not going to stop them". Kinda like how both the 360 and PS3 do 3D even though nobody really seems to cares THAT much about it. It's not like you see long descriptions about how the 3D worked at the bottom of reviews for Arkham City.

Besides, Nintendo have spent the last few years talking about how good 3D without glasses is. Do we really expect them to jump on stage at the next E3 with 3D glasses on talking about how great the Wii U's 3D is? No, it'll be a bullet point on the back of the box!

Everything.

Lets see what's the selling point for Nintendo. Today I was surprised by an study about gamers movements in the last years. During the first years of the Wii the community was greatly increased by new female gamers and it seems most of them are non gamers again, with a proportion back to 1 out of 5. Most of these that stay as gamers prefer RPGs, adventure and FPS.

Pikmin 3 and Smash Bros.
Both of those are confirmed, so I will buy it.

They were pretty much confirmed without any official announcements, so you would have bought it without hesitation.

Ace Combat: Assault Horizon Legacy was a great start on Nintendo platforms (Ace Combat Advance should be destroyed from existence), so like I said earlier, I would LOVE to have a new Ace Combat game on my future Wii U. Ace Combat 7? THAT I would buy.

A decent price and good launch titles are all I need. Just being Nintendo's newest console will warrant a purchase from me.

There are a lot of good points. I would say that the Wii U has to be around $300. The people that say $150 are way off.

There is so much going on in the rumor mills these days. Android OS, haptic technology, e-reader, cablebox, app store.... These articles are kind of a good compilation of the latest shtuff:
