4 Reasons Why You Should Buy a Wii U

@SteedLaw: Unless you don't like Zelda.

@SteedLaw: YourenotwhoIthinkyouare.

@SteedLaw: Hows that share value coming along?

@dajupe: of course, they're not going to want someone to like something that they don't have, they want everyone to want what they have got, that's their mentality

@Nev3rtime: ^^ all great reasons...ageed the gamepad is the best controller i have ever played with...since Atari until currently....great experience in gaming....

@Musharasur: Why all this talk of NX? Microsoft and Sony have also confirmed they are working on their Xbox Two and PS5 as well. By your logic, nobody should by any of the three consoles right now.

@myerlanski: You missed Lego City: Undercover. I'm a grown-ass adult and that game had everything you would need for hours and hours of fun. Unless you need blood. It's got none of that.

@myerlanski: "This is ridiculous....The wii u has many, many reasons to pick it up...

@dexda: 'Wouldn't give you tuppence for your old Wii U'

Are you trying to find a cheap second hand wii u?

@cjimrun: I'm sorry, but I still play Project M more than Smash Wii U. Nintendo just needs to make Melee sequels. They f'd with perfection

@Cyberjin: Wii U has almost 700 games. That is almost double that of Xbox One and PS4. That is a fact.

@TheZeroPercent: I agree with the Wii u needs to be cheaper considering it's more last gen then Next gen in comparison to Xbox one and Ps4 but disagree with 25 dollar games as that would just be stupid business wise since the hardware games are played on is not what determines the games pricing themselves games are a specific price for good reason as the games and accessories are where they make their money and profits make up for any losses they may have accumulated.

You know that normally when it comes to consoles they actually lose money with each consoles they sell at release and they do so to make consoles more appealing to the consumer and make up all the losses of each console sale and more through the games and accessories they sell in long run and of course with time the cost of production gets cheaper over time like anything else. With Wii U the biggest reason for the console prices was the console's gamepad more then it was the console itself which is probally now still expensive to produce. Just like with Xbox one removing the Kinect from being mandatory lowered the xbox one price tag a lot. This is why consoles stay on top of gaming industry and why it can compete with a non standardized platform like PC by staying more affordable , staying simple to use and game on, and of course most importantly the games as no matter what normally you will find the best experience for any AAA game will be on console due to better optimzation and stabiltiy that comes from being consoles being standardized and specifically for gaming alone.

You will find that with PC gaming that while you get more control it comes at a cost as due to everyone being able to upgrade and customize therefore owning different hardware your gaming experience will differ and vary based on the hardware you own and use and games can work great or you can have a hard time even getting the game to run at all or even staying stable if you do. For example a game may work better on Nvidia then AMD cards or vice versa, same applies to CPUs and OS you may have and even something like over locking can effect your game and keep it unstable so like I said have more control comes at a price as with PC gaming more know how and maintenance is required if you want to have the best experience possible something that is far less the case with the standardized console as if there are any issues its normally on dev side of things and quickly fixed for you not by you. So like I tell people both platforms has its pros and cons and worth owning for different reasons.

Not that hardware is what is most important it's not the games are but I game on PCs for high end and basically gaming over 1080p and getting frame rates over 60 FPS but when gaming 1080p or under and at 30 to 60fps I normally prefer my consoles. I didn't build a high end PC and buy a high end video card worth alone almost the cost of my xboxone, ps4, and Wii u to simply game at same resolution and FPS that I can get out of a next gen console that would be stupid. You can't beat 300 bucks for a gaming laptop and that is what Xbox one and ps4 basically is great deal of 900p to 1080p and 30 to 60fps is what your use to and all you need. I own and bought a ASUS ROG gaming laptop couple years ago for when I a, on the go and it cost me almost 2 grand and it can handle 1080p and 30 to 60 FPS np with any of today's games till even today but lol it cost me same price as the high end PC I built myself and a 300 dollar console that can more then match the performance and power I get out of that almost 2000 dollar gaming lab top I bought and own couple years ago. Anything over 1080p and 60fps you spend the money and go high end PC otherwise next gen consoles still best deal and bet for your money.

@TheZeroPercent: If the nx is released next year they might have manufactured all the wii u's they plan on making and lowering the price might force them to restart wii u production.

@TheZeroPercent: i agree,but with a lot of their first party titles staying at damn near full price for years, $25 for games is highly unlikely

@larsondir82: if you don't like Nintendo games that alone make you not a true gamer seriously Nintendo is why we have a lot of what we have to today with the gaming industry and their games are always memorable, top notch, fun for everyone, and so well optimized. Whether you like their consoles lately or not they deserve every true gamers respect no matter what platform you now game on if you a true gamer then you once were a Nintendo gamer that's for sure no matter what you have moved onto with age.

How many gaming companies that develop consoles and games you know that can survive without third party support and on sales of their first party games alone? also for what they helped create and start in the gaming industry as Nintendo was what brought gaming to the forefront when it was nothing and failing in its early days and believe it or not a lot of the innovation and even both good and bad that you see with consoles Nintendo created and thought of it first and if it turned out bad you can bet it was only due to timing not execution. when it comes to gaming industry timing can be everything as some consoles and companies have learned in the past.

Lastly Nintendo only home console left trying to stay just that a home console and not trying to become like anything else or a PC and basically a platform just for gaming. Every other console is trying to be more and basically in the process getting the cons that come with it like for example DRM something PC gamers can attest to being bad and now snuck its way onto home consoles as they try and become and do everything a platform like a PC can they also borrow the cons too that comes with being multiplatform like a PC.

Consoles are becoming less of about and what they were designed for which was games and fun and instead more complicated and more about what they can introduce and add so that they can milk the consumer further more then anything else and ever before and even change the policies in the process so that they get more control and every dollar they can as well. If I wanted a platform that does everything then my PC is enough that has never been why people buy consoles they buy them because of the affordability, convenience, simple to play, and fun with gaming at home the platform provides and nothing else. I fact if you read on up on history of gaming and consoles you would see that whole point of a home console was to create an affordable home computer not a PC to play just games nothing else and that could make gaming popular and that they accomplished that when companies like Nintendo came along onto the scene and perfected it further thankfully.

@larsondir82: You nailed it with 4. Wii games really do seem like they're geared for children. I just can't see myself ever playing a game like Splatoon.

@larsondir82: i wouldnt say it isnt for true gamers,but admittedly only xenoblade and project zero have caught my eye after 3 frikken years the system has been in the market. its definitely lacking in games more aimed at adults

@BradBurns: Yup. Since not long after launch paying regular MSRP for anything WiiU has been a poor value because there's always a better deal, either now or just around the corner.;

Oh and those come with a full year of warranty too don't they?
