So Broodwars, did you buy a Wii U simply so you could run into forums saying "oh my god Wii U is such a piece of crap, I know because I own one, that means my opinion carries real weight!" hm? Why do you frequent these forums? I mean seriously why? Why do you own a Wii U, is it not everything you said it would be?
Actually, I bought my Wii U to troll the forums, an effort that didn't seem altogether effective.
: Seriously, though, I had high hopes for ZombiU and Rayman Legends, and Nintendo was talking a good game in the run-up to the Wii U launch. I wanted to see Nintendo make good on their word and have some big games in their first year marketed towards our interests. In case certain folks like those on RFN were actually right about the market running towards Nintendo to get away from skyrocketing costs, I wanted to have the console they were running to. I hate having big games I'm interested in get announced for devices I don't own, and Nintendo does still produce exclusive games I care about on occasion.
A large part of why I bought my Wii U
when I did was because I thought Nintendo was really going to milk its GameCube catalog on the Wii U Virtual Console so I figured with the DPP program I would probably see some healthy return on that initial investment in the Deluxe model (little did I know Nintendo's big "plan" for the VC was to spend half the year trickling out a
portion of its previous VC library). And hey, there is just something exciting about being there at the start of a console launch, something I'd never done before. Times were also pretty good for me around the time the Wii U came out, and these days with the podcast being as it is I felt I needed a Wii U if I were going to talk about it.
As for why I frequent these forums, that's really none of your damn business. And given that I rarely post on the forums anymore outside of Talkback, I think you can just deal with that.
Only person who really has an agenda around here is you
I have no agenda around here, pal. I'm just a guy who likes to play video games more than could be considered healthy (regardless of platform), and as I'm particularly insane I also like to talk about those experiences from time to time. However, I am no company's fanboy or cheerleader, and I will criticize whenever, wherever, and to
whoever I feel deserves it. I'm sorry if you take so much issue with that. Nintendo launched the Wii U seemingly without any kind of plan, so they get criticized.
Can't wait til you get Disney'd
I have no idea what you mean by that.
