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.

    Unfortunately, I think this will be the first Nintendo console I don't purchase (at least right away). I remember how excited I was to get the Wii, but sadly, after 'Twilight Princess', there have been few games to give me reason to play it again. I've just lost a lot of faith in Nintendo recently.

    My spouse might down the road, but I personally have no interest in upgrading from the Wii at the moment as I don't use it enough to justify shelling out for a new and improved version. It looks good, though.

    Not right away. Depends on how it does and if I like what it has to offer. If I ever decide to get one I'll probably wait until the first price cut or buy one used.

    the best systems sellers also have shovelware that nothing different than what ps2 had. that a stupid reason to hate a system btw.... the reason i say that is your not forced to buy those games and only 5-10 games? there plenty of great games on wii.

    So there was no use of you in even commenting because you play PC. Go back to WoW or Guild Wars and leave the console users alone.
