Playing Xenoblade with a Classic Pro controller and the Wii Remote dangling from it is irritating.
Here's the problem though, how many people own the nintendo pro controller? I have one. Secondly, the wii-u gamepad is clunky as hell - it's huge. It works "OK" but what if you have 4 friends wanting to play locally? Only one gets to use the gamepad, so the rest have to use the pro controller.
Nintendo innovates controllers but they have too many out and publishers probably can't depend on anyone having anything but a wiimote (non plus) and the U-gamepad.
Hence limited Nintendo success with sports games.
I'm defiintely tired of the wiimote + nunchuk.
Remember how successful SNES launch was? Anyone would argue that was the height of the Nintendo age, and the golden age for video games.
Perspective: Wii U launch day sold more more than twice SNES launch units.
How does that mean Nintendo is dying just because there is also a Xbox and PS ?
Wii U also sold more in year one than the PS3 did.

And that's the biggest thing going for it....
More stagnant realistic modern military shooters is NOT what anybody wants right now... Except the causal COD retards who only play COD and were never gamers in the first place.
Nintendo knows what they are doing. They are catering to the original gamer demographic that were playing video games before video games became cool and mainstream. And that is just fine with me.
NES and SNES did just fine when video games were a fringe niche and kids toy. People need to stop comparing everything to COD numbers and freaking out. F*ck COD.
I want to have fun playing video games. I bought a wii U specifically for super mario 3d world. And it is the most fun I've had with a video game since super mario galaxy.
Way more fun than any of the realistic games out there. It's just fun and keeps me coming back to where I can't wait to play it.
i have not had immense fun with super mario 3d world, great game, but it's not like i'm constantly shouting this is great. it's fun to get all 3 stars and the stamp...i wish it was significantly more difficult?

I'd have to agree. I wish it was more difficult.
Getting 120 stars in Mario Galaxy was extremely difficult like other mario world games. I would spend hours just getting some of the harder stars.
I disagree. I had more trouble 100%ing Super Mario 3DW compared to getting all 120 (240?) stars in SMG.
I took the plunge and bought a Wii U. I got:
Wii U Mario Bundle
SM3DW
Zelda WWHD
DuckTales
Wii U Pro Controller
Lol I may do the same. Trying to decide between a 42 inch tv or a Wii because of freaking Mario.
42"? Shoot for 75"!
Nah I have a small apartment and I don't have the budget for a tv that big. Even a 50 inch would look awkward in my living room. But I really want to play Mario or Zelda so it's a tough choice. Nothing is wrong with my current tv either.
Yea it's a 32 inch 1080p LCD LG. I use it primarily for ps4. But a 42 led would look better.
Found a deal or just felt like spending?
