Wii U - thread 3

[Adam Stone]

ETC, across the net and on Miiverse, that very same statement seems to be the most popular retort to this :-)

- and I also agree.

However, equally, im quite impressed. It is quite a clever bit of marketing. Just a shame Nintendo didnt have the original foresight,

That price is brilliant, def the time for peeps to hop on board as when Mario etc start arriving it could well bounce back up in price

It'd be more impressive if they could get it to pop up on 360 and PS3 screens :-)

?149 is tempting...

I can't see any real reason for peeps to not jump on board at those prices. There is enough to play on the WiiU now and in the coming months.

Be quick the premium is now out of stock, i dont reckon they will last long at that price. get yourself one ready for the big hitters coming at christmas, this is the 3DS again, but im really hopefully itll pick up once the biggies are released, just look at how many 3Ds were sold once Mario 3d land was out , you would have thought nintendo would have learned from that , to sell a machine at ?300 or ?250 you need several triple AAA games .

That's quite a stretch - but the price is probably worth it as it'll inevitably go back up again...

[Brad]

Well the price hasn't really gone down has it? Just Asda trying to get rid of a load of old stock isn't it?

The Wii U did launch with a Mario title though (and a very good one at that) but the problem is that there has been nothing for the months since launch.

[arcnas]

I know it launched with mario, but i think everyone would agree that if they had an new 3D mario, Mario Kart and Pikmin 3 at launch the machine would have sold much much better, i still like the Wii U and dont regret buying it , i just want some new games to play.

Game & Wario is set for June 28th ...

It would have, but that never happens. Ever. It amuses me that people say these things.

If PS4 doesn't launch with RR8, GT6, COD 94, and SOTC 2, it's going to be doomed to fail after three weeks IMO.

Sorry if this has already been mentioned here, but a quick search suggested it hadn't.

What do people think of this? I'm surprised more hasn't been made of it, but then again I have no idea how reliable an indication it is either.

One of those 3 would be enough, joe. Instead they gave us a new super soulless Bros and a couple of others I've already forgotten about.
