Thoughts? Feelings?
I don't really have much confidence that this will run through well with American consumers... maybe a good TV app for kids, but not much other than that it seems.

And "media crackhead" is all I can come up with when looking at the TV-controller-whatever-the-fuck-that-thing-this.

i'm liking it so far. i've only played two games (mario and nintendo land), but i've enjoyed the gameplay. I actually really like the controller too.. but maybe that makes me a 'media crackhead'

I played it in a target and I had a panic attack because I didnt know what screen to watch.

I'll probably get this when I have a little more disposable income and probably when the next Zelda game comes out. I grew up a Nintendo kid and I like to still support them but these days the only games worth getting on that instead of another system are the Zeldas, Marios and other exclusive titles.

michaelson: Good to hear that the gameplay's working out. And yeah, my "media crack" comment was probably a bit judgmental. I was just so confused when I was looking up pictures of the Wii U before it came to the States... but now it seems to progressively be making more sense to me as I witness more of how it works.

We have one, but have barely touched it in months because HOLY FUCK WE BEAT MARIO AND THERE AREN'T REALLY ANY GAMES WE WANT TO PLAY ON IT.

WHERE THE FUCK ARE THE GAMES? IS PIKMIN 3 OUT YET? GAAAHHHHH.

This system has so much potential but it feels wasted because there really aren't any games that are like really sticking out and making this the console it can be. If George hadn't gotten a deal on it on launch day, I'd have been very mad that we bought it. Otherwise we'd be waiting until more decent games came out on it.
