Even if they are your thing, they're aren't enough of them to justify owning a Nintendo console anymore since they get pretty much jack shit from third parties--and anything they do get will just be inferior ports of PS4/X1 games going forward.
I disagree. I play all consoles, pretty much every genre and any game as long as it's good. I've got a Vita, 3DS, Wii U, PS4 and Xbox One pre ordered. And Idk, maybe it's just me and my taste leans more toward Nintendo games, but I'm more excited for the Wii U lineup than any other system I own or have pre ordered. I pre ordered 4 PS4/Xbox One games, but I have 18 pre ordered for the Wii U. And I already own 18. Granted, about half of those are in fact multiplats, but I actually think most multiplats are WAY better on the Wii U. Gamepad integration doesn't SOUND that appealing, but once you try it it's like wow, holy crap this really IS way better. And instant play on the gamepad at any time is always a plus. I don't think Wii U version of multiplat ports are inferior, on the contrary, I think they're almost always the better.
Idk, Pikmin 3 is a game that doesn't appeal to everyone. But again, I think it's one of those games that once you try it, you're just amazed at how great it is. I used to be that guy, the guy that didn't really play Nintendo games and didn't think they offered anything special. That was until I bought a 3DS, and its games were phenomenal! Games like Fire Emblem Awakening, DKC Returns, and Mario & Luigi Dream Team. So I bought a Wii U and I haven't been let down yet. Pikmin 3 was by far the funnest game I've played years- it really is THAT good. And Wonderful 101, it's my new favorite game! I never played Windwaker so the remake will be new for me. And DKC Tropical Freeze- that game looks so fun I can't even express it in words lol. I think I'd have bought a Wii U just for that game alone! And I've never played a "bad" Mario game, so 3D World should be a blast as well. Throw in Sonic Lost World (which actually looks better than the originals on the Genesis), Smash Bros 4, and Mario Kart 8, and I'd say that's a darn good library. Not to mention Bayonetta 2, Monolith Soft's X, SMT x Fire Emblem and the new Zelda U. And there's still 5+ years of unannounced exclusives coming on top of all of that.
I guess for me, it comes down to this: yes, PS and Xbox are great, and I pre ordered them both, and look forward to them. And yes, they'll get WAY more games. But nomatter how many games they get, I'll only end up buying the top 30-40 games for each console during their lifespan. The 30-40 that are REALLY worth buying. Wii U may get way LESS games, but it's top 30-40 games will be just as good as PS4 or Xbox One's, if not better (at least to me). I think the Wii U will have way less games, but the games it does get are really, really good. Quality over quantity, so to speak.
That's why I speak so highly of the system. It's just really impressed me so far.
