It's sad that people are so misled to believe that review scores of anything less than a solid "8" out of 10 is bad & not worth your time.
1 or 2 is bad. HotWheels Worlds' best racedriver whatever on WiiU is BAD. Controls are delayed & it's slow as sh**. Not a fun Experience at all.
Rodea, Project Zero & Devil's Third are to me a 5, 6, or 7. Flawed games sure, but still enjoyable in thier own way & worth a buy. That won't make your average popnfresh take a chance & go buy them though, their mutual benefactors at IGN & Co. have made sure of that.
Well, considering I nearly have all the splatoon foldier icon things without paying a single dollar, with a chance a day to win free plays, I'd say it's worth at the very least a couple hours of your time. You get what you pay for no?
@GammaNoises Also my inner pessimist tells me this is it. The start of the retro mega drive craze. With good time, buying mega drive carts will be as tedious as trying to buy snes carts at an affordable price. I could be wrong, & I hope I am.
I got one of those lying around somewhere. Megadrive carts work, but are stubborn to insert & remove. Maybe it's just mine, I dunno. Oh, & it outputs audio in one channel only I think.
I've had the WiiU since launch. Saw it, had a good feeling about it, bought it. 3 years in, it's still giving me more bang for my buck than anything offered on Sony/Microsoft hardware.
The only people that look forward to whatever the hell the nx is, is people that don't own the console or know where it stands. Yeah I know what you might be thinking, but with just over 10million systems in homes throughout the globe, I think it's a fair observation.
You have a console that plays games in High Definition, and it's backwards compatible with a library of software exclusive to the biggest family friendly videogame system ever seen in gaming.
Of course the WiiU still makes sense for families.
At this point in time, I think it's a little overdue for a price drop.
"Retro" game prices are absolutely ridiculous. I purchased a battered cart of Ninja Warriors for snes (a very badass game) for around $40 on ebay like, 5 years ago, & i check now, & there are no "well used" copies seling for any less than $150. How the hell did this happen?!

Re: Feature: Reflecting On Three Years With The Wii U - Part One
@electrolite77 I like to generalise. Okay, how 'bout this: An Overwhelming majority of people looking forward to the nx don't own the wiiu".
