I'm all over this freaking thing. It's Nintendo man. Zelda and Metroid in HD? I mean, c'mon man.
Sure, the next Xbox and next PlayStation will leap frog the Wii U, but perhaps in 2 years they'll be relevant? It seems to take at least 2 years these days for a new system to pick up steam. Oddly, the Wii U just jumps into the current console mix and supercedes it with that controller.
I get that it's not for everyone, but I'm pretty pumped for the thing. I truly try to dismiss them, but I can't escape Nintendo's games. I don't care what resolution they are, they're always a good time! The Metroid Prime games on the Wii were amazing...again, not for everyone, but they simply hooked me.
I'll probably grab whatever Sony has up next as well.
