Anyone else getting a Wii U? I've pre-ordered the black premium pack along with Zombi U. America releases the Wii U in 4 days so we should have some early reviews up in the next few days. I can't wait. Some great games coming out over the next few months and the tablet controller is gonna bring some great new ways to play. And also to be able to continue playing on the tablet while the wife watches tv.
Nope.Quote:

Might get a wiiu later down the track, but I don't like the look of that controller and since they messed up the last Zelda game quite nicely, I don't see much to entice me into making the jump.
I'll stick with my PS3 for now (and more importantly, my Saturn)
It is going to take a new zelda and fire emblem game to get me to purchase a wii u.
I've conned myself into getting a Wii U.
Smash bros was such an entertaining part of my childhood I don't want to miss the next instalment.
That and the promise of a new F Zero game.
Definitely gonna wait and see with this one.
my current Wii is being used as a paper weight so Im gonna hold off until the Wii-u is on clearance
I haven't touched my Wii (:D) in absolutely ages, probably since i gave up on Skyward Sword's intro section... but it was undeniably worth it for some of the golden games that it had. Just the Mario Galaxy titles alone really made it worth it, but there was a heap more quality - NSMB introducing 4 player, Metroid Prime 3 with excellent pointer controls, Wii Sports & Resort even if just for the novelty of playing with my family for once! And long live Excitetruck!
That said, i have too many purchases on at the moment, and plenty of other great games to play, to be considering a Wii U knowing that it likely wont have a significant library of games i'm interested in for a while. So, i'll be holding off for at least the first price cut. That's one thing 3DS has taught me! Screw early adopting, ambassador games be damned!!
Best racer on the wii, bar the sublime sequel that was never released here and I had to get from the UK.Quote:

However after the 3DS deal and with the wii getting no support in the last year-18 months I will be waiting for quite some time before getting the Wii U. I am sure I will get one at some point, just not for a while.Quote:

When the new smash brothers and kirby games are announced (or SM galaxy 3) then I'll reconsider.
I only just got my Wii, but I only got that once it got to clearance price and with some good special on games, I feel like I solely just paid full price for the (Nintendo) games themselves. Once I finish all the games I plan on selling the Wii on since there's not a lot of attachment there, just some games I really wanted to play that would never be on PS3 (Mario, Zelda, Donkey Kong).
Thought I might derail the VG Aqui thread, so these are my thoughts on Sonic & Allstars racing Transformed.
Pretty sweet little game with some nice homages to SEGA history in there as well as a lot of WTF moments as you start flying and wonder where the hell the track is supposed to be.
So far I am pretty impressed as it is pretty fun and the tracks/levels are pretty well designed. handling is definitely different between characters.
In an 'Interesting' move they have included "Wreck-It-Ralph" from the upcoming movie as a character as well. I am not completely against this move since it seems Sonic makes a cameo in the movie, I just wished they had put more personality to him. Playing as him a couple of times, he has some generic quotes "My bad" and such like that don't really tell much about the guy and as such I don't really want to play as him.
Unlocking new characters seems to take some time, I was hoping they'd keep it the same as the first but there is a new "challenge" mode where you earn stars and the stars unlock characters. But you have to go through a certain route to get the characters. I liked the other one where you earnt 'money' to buy them in the shop, then you could save up all your dosh and get the characters the you really liked firts (for me, Alex Kidd and OpaOpa).
However they have done well this time, not revealing all the playable characters. So good work to them for keeping some surprises! I don know that Joe Musashi from Shinobi and Vyse from Skies of Arcadia are in there. I want them!
So, despite the removal of "SEGA" from the Allstars, it's still looking fairly good. As soon as I get my PS# back online and can get the Outrun track up and running, I'll do that.
Personally I would have liked to see a real 8 bit retro track smacked inthere, like MAster System Green Hill Zone or something! Would have made for a nice change.
