Mario Kart and Smash Bros didn't come out yet for WiiU there coming 2014.

Hey. blackberry products have their use case scenarios this is just plain rude.

Really? Given the choice out of all the consoles, current and next-gen, I'd choose the WiiU.

 

There is maybe 1-2 exclusives for Sony I'd care about, (Ratchet And Clank, Jak And Daxter are the first that come to mind), Xbox has no real exclusives I like, WiiU has all the nintendo characters/franchises I love, and (my opinion) make some of the best multiplayer games. Not in the online multiplayer sense, but the 4 people squashed around a TV playing Super Smash or Mario Kart/Party way.

 

That and the Xbox and PS seem to me as a underpowered PC, most of the games I can play on my PC better so I see no point of it. The WiiU is something different.

Wii U is not a coincidence, with all the fuss about ps4 and xbox one releases, it's obviously many kids would be dissapointet if they got a wii u for christmas. Kinda obvious imo.

I don't feel that it's fair to call it one of the worst Christmas gifts this year. The WiiU is getting a decent amount of titles by Christmas, and is definitely not one of the worst thing you could buy for someone. I have a WiiU, and I enjoy it. I'll be getting every first-party game that comes out for it, and so far all of them are looking great.

 

I'm pretty sure whoever said that the WiiU should be in that list has a bias against Nintendo. Because as it stands, the WiiU is becoming more of a viable option.

Oh trust me i know. Waiting with much anticipation!

I guess it's really just us old school gamers (ie: those that have been there since the NES days) that still appreciate Nintendo today.  

 

I also share some of your sentiments that the Wii U is a viable option this gen.  Like I said in that other console thread, PS4 & Xbone works a lot like my gaming rig now (updates, patches, DLC's, etc.) aside from a couple of exclusives (Uncharted and next God of War).

 

Nintendo, despite the stumbles with the WiiU (day one updates and all that), still has that old school gaming feel to me (side scrolling Mario games, Zelda, Mario 64 like Mario games, etc.).  Plus my wife also wants one! :lol:

My sister has a Blackberry Z10.  Awesome phone, great screen, good camera, great size since I dislike big phones but the problem is "there aren't many great apps".
