Well for one thing, you'll be doing exactly the same thing once Sony and other developers drop support for the PS3 in favor of the PS4.
Look I get why you're approaching the Wii U the way you are, but I think you just worded yourself poorly. You're complaining about the Wii U not having games you want. Well, they just announced six or seven new games for the thing and almost all of them were huge announcements. If that didn't at least garner your interest then...
Coding a game to run on new hardware with a new OS is not as simple as you make it sound. There's a reason some Windows 95 software will not "just work" on the latest Windows OS. It takes time and money; forward compatibility is no different.
Now keep in mind you're paying less than $2 for being able to run the game on the Wii U's standard OS without having to launch Wii mode, you can customize the controls to your liking AND you can play these games on ...
"The Wii U is finally getting some games lmao ? PS3 has been doing this for Years...."
The PS3 has also been out since 2007, smart guy.
"Nothing is shown to make me wanna go out and Purchase it. I'll wait for E3."
It sounds to me you don't care much for Nintendo franchises to begin with, so why even bother with E3? Honestly, if this last conference didn't convince you, I hardly believe E3 will.

Correction, you mean you don't see how this will attract fanboys. The general gamer is often attracted to Nintendo's big name exclusives, especially Zelda and even Xenoblade (which sold pretty well, overall). People who outright dislike/hate Nintendo will never find a reason to play their games on any of their consoles.
Thankfully people like that are generally a minority. They can miss out if they wish and that's okay. But everyone else has a f...
I can't help but point out the contrast in agrees here. You basically said what I said but worded it differently (sans the part about favorite features). Ah this community never fails to surprise me. :P
3DS has a 3D setup similar to the 360. I've seen it used in Assassin's Creed III.
I remember originally they stated it was because the cartridge held more data than the 3DS standard. Which is odd because Kid Icarus Uprising did as well, AND was bundled with the stand and that game was still only $40.
I agree, it was just to squeeze out more money, but hey, at least the game was worth it. I would never pay near as much for RE6. Sad that a portable game wound up being so much better than a full on numbered release.
It's been, what, a week or two since those figures were put out? How about waiting a couple of months before trying to make us concerned for this console's future? Besides, they've announced a plethora of fan favorite installments as well as two new JRPGs. Not to mention new IPs and a remake of a beloved Zelda game.
In the long run, this system will do just fine. I have very few doubts about that.
Dude come on, I love Nintendo too but you're being really over ecstatic. It IS remake and it looks beautiful, yes, but Pixar quality imagery? Let's be real here.
I was pretty disappointed when I first saw the art style as well, but the game was still amazing, both in gameplay and in visuals. An HD remake was perfect for this title and I am very excited. Can't wait to hear more for this and the new title.
Fair warning, for every time I've cited decent sales figures courtesy of NPD, I always received a few disagrees at least. Some people refuse to acknowledge facts as oppose to bias.
The Wii U's start is actually faster than the 360 and PS3, but slower than the Wii. It's not anyone's opinion, just the numbers provided.
I always felt applying the off-TV feature was a no brainer if you could not think of any method for adequately using the game pad. That's still my favorite feature on the console thus far.
Nintendo was already pulling me into RPGs with the 3DS. This is just the tip of the iceberg as far as I'm concerned. I look forward to more announcements.
I think it's their way of trying something different with an older franchise. Kirby games play differently from Yoshi games, so the art style, while similar, does not necessarily suggest that the two games will be one in the same.
I believe they did. Nintendo fans have a lot to look forward to. New IPs, an HD remake to one of the arguably best looking Zelda games in the past decade, new installments to beloved franchises, updates to the OS and Miiverse... all announcements specifically for the Wii U. Nintendo did amazing work on this conference and I think they made a lot of fans happy.
I don't see why people have gone out of their way to spin this conference negatively and I don't know what th...
I liked this version a lot more. They axed out a number of bad design choices and refined the gameplay quite a bit. Played online multiplayer with a couple of my friends and it was hectic and fun as it should be.
By all means its far from perfect, but I thought it was pretty good overall and fantastic compared to the original version. If you have a Wii U and have any interest in NG, you should at least check it out.
So am I not allowed to not be interested in this one? I mean I played the demo and did not enjoy it at all. Does that not "validate" my point on it enough for the commenters above? Whatever. If there's someone out there enjoying this game (and I'm sure there are many) power to you. But be courteous and respectful enough to leave fans who didn't enjoy the demo, for whatever reason, out of it.

I appreciate the sentiment, and I a...
I will wait for the confirmation. In the meantime, my fingers are crossed and I'm quite pleased with the upcoming content.
I heard it's actually a trial sale. You keep the 30 cent games, but after the thirty days the sales will be reverted to their original price. Not too shabby as far as a launch sale, no?
I had the weirdest feeling that this was a 3DS exclusive. Curse you false intuition! Just another game to look forward to. I like the Fire Emblem games and I've heard a lot of good stuff about the Shin Megami Tensei series. Not to mention a ton of my friends are big Persona fans.
