I have a Wii U - General Discussion.

I wouldn't be too upset with the current state of the Wii U. If the last 12 months didn't make people invest then when will they? It's not going to happen at this stage. Given the current library and the upcoming releases, I am very happy with my investment.

It has the makings of a future classic for sure as the quality of the games will always transcend the hardware. I'm content knowing I can be that shady character sitting in the darkened corner of the bar while people whisper "he was a Wii U owner", the same way I enviously refer to Dreamcast owners!

Ah yes the Dreamcast was awesome. I sat at home alone playing shemue and crazy taxi and that awesome car game while my friends huddled together in someone else's bedroom playing FIFA.

So your friends socialised while you sat alone.

I reckon they had a better time.

This may shock you, but some people can enjoy themselves in their own company, than surrounding themselves with morons.

I would much rather play Shenmue alone, than play FIFA with anybody.

Probably ha ha. A no they used to play it with me. I was the only person I ever knew who owed one and the same can be said with the Wii U. It's funny if I suggest someone buys one they actually laugh.

I would rather play Connect 4 on my own than FIFA 99.

That is true although I must say good times were had with FIFA 98 on ps1 back in the day.

I hear ya buddy!

I hate to plug myself shamelessly like this but I stream Shenmue gameplay from time to time, if you're interested follow me on twitch.

Or you can watch previous captures of me playing here:

God I'd forgotten so much about the Dreamcast I watched the first 5 minutes of your vid then I was on adverts seeing how much they are these days.
So many great games and they all still look great. And that little thing you plug into the controller with it's own mini games on it!

None of those things are ridiculous enough to be good April foolses. But they make so much sense that they can't be real, its a subtle joke about Nintendo's relentless self-torpedoing

Nollog

Emily Rodgers tweetereded to expect a nintendo direct soon. I think she said "this week".

Too lazy to go back to reddit and find it and the link.

She's been writing nintendo stuff ever since she got a boyfriend before the e3 where wii u was revealed.

Star Lord

Just got an email from Nintendo about a direct tomorrow at 11PM.

Andrew76

Just saw that too. Looking forward to it.

Ace Attorney

Hopefully more splatoon news and confirmed release date.

Yeah, I left that, as I wasn't sure, but the 4chan one - http://www.gamefaqs.com/boards/997614-nintendo-3ds/71512539
I removed.

Holy wow, 11 pm?

That's pretty late... last time they had one that late was for Bayonetta wasn't it?
Must be showing off that god-awful game about devils and thirding.

Which has supposedly greatly improved since its E3 debut.
Well i'll be watching it anyway. 11pm suits me better than the usual 2pm or 3pm since I won't be working.

11pm is a much better time for me too. Hopefully there'll be some exciting anouncements.

Most likely Project Zero 5

Wishful thinking it might also be ZombiU 2 - But that's Unlikely

Given the time frame involved, I imagine all we could get of the new Retro Studios title is an announcement. I'd still be happy with that though, pretty intrigued to find out what they're working on.

CastorTroy

I think we'll get some details of the new Club Nintendo and/or details of upcoming stars catalogue items

Machismo Fan

I think we'll get something big tomorrow. Especially with the NX stuff and the Zelda delay, they need something to show real commitment to the Wii U.

wampyrus77

amiibos give u rewards everyday in hyrule warriors

Ace Attorney

i wonder if they will mention the new mario kart DLC in may

wampyrus77

I WATCH nintendo direct tomorrow

Allyall

^^ Yeah, I think I'll be the same.

iamtony

200cc Mario Kart should be fun!

wampyrus77
