TO BUY OR NOT TO BUY – Nintendo Wii U
The Wii U has been out for
a little while now, but I haven’t had the usual overwhelming urge to buy the
new system. There are a few good reasons
for that, though.
One, the game line-up isn’t
all that impressive right now. The only
one
that somewhat intrigues me
is New Super Mario Bros. U, but it looks just like another iteration of the New
Super Mario Bros. Wii. Nothing else has
really caught my eye. Nintendo
traditionally has at least one or two golden launch titles, but not so this
time, at least in my opinion. The core
franchises are nowhere to be found. I
would’ve been happy if they kept with tradition and launched a new Mario
platformer (like Mario 64 or Galaxy) but that just didn’t happen this time.

The price point is also a
little daunting. While $299 may not be
too bad for a next generation console, its hard to justify the price without a
strong game library behind it. The new
controller seems to be cool, but I’ve heard so far that developers haven’t been
using it all that creatively. Being able
to take your game with you and play it on the move (without your TV) does seem
pretty cool, though.
Do any of you own a Wii
U? How has your experience been with it
so far? At this point, I think it’ll
take a major release like Legend of Zelda or Super Mario to get me to buy
one. For now, I think I’ll watch and
wait.
