it's not worth getting because there's obviously no games but it's normal. That being said, it is really a lot of fun to play, there's a lot of potential and i trust nintendo will make great use of it so i'm really looking forward to seeing what they come up with. Will third party studios use it to its full potential, i don't know but some studios seem really dedicated to bringing their games onto the wiiu

i really think its a combination of similar look/name/casual audience

i mean, nes/snes/n64 didnt really look the same at all, there were some pretty clear change between the consoles (also graphic wise)
whereas the wiiu, its about as powerful as current gens, looks the same as the wii except for the gamepad (and it still uses the wiimote, which adds to the confusion)
i just doubt the wiiu will ever sell well, cuz y'know, competition and stuff and it will still only have good 1st party game and crappy 3rd party games (ie: bad ports and no real multiplat)

tldr: nes/snes/n64/gamecube/wii had clear difference between each gens, wii/wiiu doesnt



because they only show the gamepad with the name wiiu on it, with some kind of console in the back that looks a lot like a wii
the console couldve been only the gamepad

im just not convinced at all about the wiiu being worth my money right now
not.one.bit.

tbh the console in the back never looked like a wii at all to me
the difference between it and the wii seem very obvious to me in the image
i think the deluxe might be worth the money, but personally I'm not gonna get it until there is a game I really want of which atm I haven't seen anything that would make me want it asap

really?
even nintendo admitted they made it to look like the wii
it totally looks like a wii, there is no denying that

i even had the thing in my hands during xmas cause my bros got one and i found while it's similar it's still easy to tell the difference

exactly

i havent said they look the same
i said they were way too similar for no apparent reason (probably to capitalize on the wii success)

anyway thats just how i see it

Quote (douglas22888 @ Jan 13 2013 05:05pm)

but honestly i just find they aren't similar enough to cause the confusion :|

Nintendo has announced that Virtual Console is coming to Wii U this Spring. Due approximately in April, Wii U’s Virtual Console won’t offer all of the Wii’s Virtual Console library to start, but will begin with NES and SNES games.
