Will You Buy the Nintendo Wii U?

Attention, all gamers! Nintendo has announced the Wii video game system's successor, the Wii U. The Nintendo Wii U will be released on November 18 in the United States with two versions. Gamers can purchase the Wii U with one controller for $299 or a deluxe version that comes with more memory, a gamepad charger, a stand, and a video game.

One of the biggest changes to this system, compared to the Wii, is the dual screen capability. Besides playing on a regular-sized television, gamers also have a handheld device with a 6.2 inch touchscreen, providing an enhanced multiplayer mode. It also allows gamers to continue playing solely on the handheld device in the event they can't use their TV.

According to Nintendo, there will be 50 Wii U game titles available by March, including "Assassin's Creed III" and "Call of Duty." For years, Nintendo has been criticized for appealing only to families and children, as opposed to all ages, but the Wii U looks like it will silence those complaints. In addition to better graphics, memory, and interactivity, the Wii U will also provide Nintendo TVii, allowing users to stream and record shows via YouTube, Hulu, Netflix, Amazon, and more.

    Of course i'll be buying one. I need my Mario and Zelda. That is all. They only expendable system for me is the Xbox. Nintendo needs to stop being so "Disney and Rainbow-colored" (aka Cartoonish) though.

    They once we're pioneers in the industry. I think they're lost in time. The first Wii was a major flop. Within a year, the pawn shop I work for went from giving $100 for them, to $60, now only $15 in great shape and resale them for $40 and still can't get rid of them. I'll stick with Sony.

    I own most other gaming systems. I would look at the game selection first though. The 3D psp was a disappointment with the lack of games, it still needs more rp games.

    Def not! I am was a big enough fool to buy into the hype of the Wii! I will not be buying into the hype for this especially considering that it is £259.99 what a utter disgrace.

    Bayonetta 2 is also a Wii exclusive....Still not buying it, I am disappointed that Bayonetta 2 will not be on X-Box360

    No. Nintendo needs to stop with the crappy gimmicks and step up and make a good console for once.

    EEGAD too expensive!! $300?! No THANK you! Maybe once it's down to an affordable price I find is worth it... like $150.. also, if they'll stop "recycling" games and cater to more "M-Rated" fans, I'd be all over it then.

    That controller is almost big enough to be a console in its own right. Terrible idea.
