    Yea ive played a Wii before. Imo the remote never really worked quite right and it was kinda hard to get it to. The controllers also just feel awkward in my hands. And the graphics on all the wii games i played looked like baby graphics compared to ps3 and 360 stuff.

    My personal opinion is that the Wii is a terrible console. Horrid graphics for the price, and slow. Not to mention a crappy OS at best, the 360 is way preferable. I hate the motion sensing, especially on shooters. I'm with Mike, Nintendo is failing. I love the 64 though!

    Hey, I agree N64 had some of the best games of all time, but wouldn't you want a NEW mario kart? a NEW mario party? WiiU has AMAZING graphics compared to the original Wii. But the Wii wasn't about graphics, it was about playing with your body. Controlling the game with actual motion. It encouraged people to play together and to get off the couch. I never had a problem with the wii remote. Maybe you were playing with the old wiimotes that lacked wiimotion plus.

    All I am saying is, don't brush it off just because it isn't the original N64. Nothing will ever be like that. I like where nintendo is going. They are opening up gaming to a whole different level and allowing 3rd party developers to create really thoughtful games for their consoles.

    I'm sick of shooters. I'm sick of static gaming. Be open to new things! I swear, you will have fun!

    I think this is where a lot of people are confused. The Wii and the Wii U are two completely different consoles. It is backwards compatable, but does emulate the old Wii in order to play old games.

I was thinking of getting zombiu everyone is saying its amazing even tho ign didn't like it.

    Dude screw IGN! I swear they played the game for 5 minutes before writing that AWFUL review. It really is a fun game, but it is not a shooter. It is a survival game, which I actually really enjoy. I like sneaking, scavenging, sniping, and taking my time.

    Does no one here like super smash bros??

    Note: wiiu is absolutely nothing like the wii. It's better then ps3 and 360, will it be better then ps4 and 720 I doubt it but that's why I'll buy them all like always. Don't hate and just enjoy the tech. Wiiu is amazing right now.

    Wii U was released November 2012.. Why are you giving false info on the Wii?

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wii#Launch And how was the original Wii a failure?? There were major shortages when it first came out. Everyone wanted one.

    Everyone wanted one, and then returned it when they realized their 360 kicked the crap out of it. Or at least that's what I and most of my friends did. It was the first major console with motion sensing, so the hype was huge. But for the $250 or so original sale price, there was little bang for your buck.

    The only problem with the wii is it has hardly any games i want to play. new one comes out beat it in 3 days. then it sits on the shelf collecting dust for 6 months or more till another decent one comes along. i'll take halo4 on xbox live any day over the wii. i'll give it this though. the right games are alot of fun to play on wii. there are just way to few of them.
