  1. 1. Buying a Wii U?

    • Pre-ordered/will buy before launch
    • I'm waiting for a specific franchise announcement
    • Will buy it when cheaper
    • Probably not buying
    • Definitely not buying
    • Flipping it

If I can get it at €300 for the Premium pack I'll be getting it. Launch line up is fairly decent and even the downloabable launch titles are looking great. No problem waiting to preorder, no doubt there'll be better offers coming out in the weeks up to launch.

I plan to watch how their first year plays out. If they're actually walking the walk (as far as catering to the "hardcore" with their library) then there is a good chance of my buying one. It's impossible to say right now. Bayonetta is a great sign. Most of the other signs point to a slightly less underwhelming Wii experience though. I'm more receptive than I had expected I would be at this point. Of course announcements regarding a new Xbox or Playstation could be the end of my consideration. I really want to get a gauge for whether or not one of these consoles is going to be the odd one out.

This. In the poll I said I'd get one when the price drops, but more accurately I'll get one when it reaches a critical mass of games that I want. There's not really one specific franchise that would sell it to me except Zelda (which won't happen for years) or Pokemon (which won't happen at all) so I didn't select that answer.

Gutted Rayman Origins is postponed until next year as I'd pre-ordered it as a launch title for £20. Still, I'll keep in mind Miyamoto's quote:

 

"A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

 

but that means I'll have to rethink my pre-order again.

Nah, just joining in on the 1080p discussion.

 

Does anyone know of a good 2.5 SATA HDD enclosure? I'm looking around because I figure my old 2.5 SATA from my deceased PS3 will be my future WiiU's external HDD.

 

EDIT: Nevermind, I found myself something.

There are a few 1080p games, e.g Black Ops 2, Nano Assault, I meant specifically Nintendo developed specifically, e.g Pikmin, NSMB U.

Black Ops 2 is most likely just upscaling to 1080p from 720p or even lower depending on its actual rendering resolution. If they've got the actual game at native 1080p on Wii U that would be encouraging.

Official Teardown of Internal Components and Wii Comparison

 

Yeah, yeah, you hate IGN, but at least follow the links to the Iwata Asks presentation. Basically, all the parts we know about shown and in their designated layout along with comparisons to similar Wii features and parts.

 

EDIT: Also, I would buy a transparent WiiU over any color!

I am very excited about the headphone jack built into the controller. The ability to play in a public place without the horrid/embarrassing writing and porn sounding grunting sound effects will be a blessing.

 

Honestly, maybe THAT is the best reason for Bayonetta 2 to be on the Wii U. The nonsensical narrative and "sexy" (creepy) special attacks can now be kept on your controller and in your earbuds.
