Either on my PC or phone. I don't watch everything. I watch a couple of minutes of most quick looks, all UPF's, but I don't touch Metal Gear Scanlon, even though I love Drew.

I'd like to remind everyone about the official motto of GiantBomb: 'Videogames are dumb'. It'll be fine guys, I mean, I'm ok with it crashing and burning down if it all comes down to it.

$300 for a phone? that would be great! I paid $800 for my iPhone when I was earning like a grand a month (I Live in Poland). You have it easy.

Let it be known that Wonderful 101 is a dope little game!

As far as hardware is concerned I think it's hot garbage. I mean, those games could look much better, but naaah, they don't. It also wouldn't hurt if other companies made exclusive games for the platform, or at least make better use of the pad, rarely sees much use, even in Nintendo games.

I don't think Wii U is a failure just yet, but jesus christ Nintendo better get their shit together in terms of standalone consoles, cause they get no support from anyone but Nintendo, but I'd love to buy a Nintendo console and use it as my primary one and still be able to enjoy the so-called AAA games. I know, probably not gonna happen seeing how much of a success GameCube was (I'm not hating on it, just saying it didn't sell great and didn't have a ton of 3rd party support).

@xxcrazycostaxx: I used to do the same, but now I'm selling all my consoles and only keeping what I actively play on as I grew tired of having numerous physical consoles. I might hold onto that, but other than some platformers I do not think I will be interested in future Wii U games, sadly.

@aquamarin True that, but as I do not have a gaming PC, PS4 and XB1 have way more.

I am genuinely happy people are cool with Nintendo's latest console, I really am, but I still do wish it had more to offer than being Nintendo-exclusive-console. They make the best exclusives, so it would have been even sweeter if it could serve as the one and only console for this generation (especially if you exclude PC), I know it's probably not gonna happen, but one can dream.

Seeing the positive opinions about Wii U is one of the reasons that slowly calms me down somehow. I was angry at Nintendo, but I should have been at myself, cause I knew what I was getting into. I just love Mario games too much to pass them up, and my friends don't have consoles so I had to go in blind. Mario games are my absolute favority, so I'm sure they're cool, but I am still disappointed that the console itself does not feel like more of a banger (for the lack of a better word) to me. It does not feel new, it is just another Nintendo console I 'had' to buy to play Mario games, so as weirdly as it sounds I am kind of pissed off I needed to buy Wii U to experience them. I mean good on them, I hope they make more great games, regardless of the platform.

@segajupiter Not in the slightest, I really do like my Saturn, all 3 of them! I was kind of going for a joke, but couldn't figure out what's the worst console I own;)

@slag I still have to finish those 3 cool games, after that I'll sell it.

@jacksukeru I'm used to 360 and PS3 being sluggish, but my iPhone got me used to way snappier touch-based interfaces, not to mention the fact that touch screen is crap compared to phones as far as responsiveness goes.

@adequatelyprepared Like I said it's not the first time I've done something like that, and that idea isn't very alien too, couple of posts up someone bought Wii U for only one game, and that's cool too.

@roldan I'm playing Shovel Knight on my PC, it's great. I've downloaded a demo of Wonderful 101, but I somehow don't think it'll be up my alley, we'll see!

@fancysoapsman: To me they do, but I'm waiting for E3 to decide which one to get (first). I'm not putting money in my PC, so I will have a nice backlog when I finally get one of those.

@mtfikhan: I've tried Pikmin 1 and 2, they weren't super interesting;/

@bluewolverine: Yeah, I thought about that, but then again I've noticed NES games are around $7 and I'm not paying that.

@quantris: I'm not blaming anyone but myself. I am also kind of bitching that Wii U is such an overlooked I guess system (by other developers) and I wish I didn't like Mario games as much as weird as that sounds. Bayonetta's art style is cool, I was put off by the quality of textures and aliasing - it very much reminded me of 360 games and I was kind of hoping something at least slightly more impressive. I didn't have access to Wii U (most of my friends play on PC exclusively) beforehand and quick looks seemed fine.

@gunslingerpanda: I will give Bayonetta 2 another chance if I find it cheap somewhere, DKC:TF is on my list, same for Mario Kart 8, the rest I couldn't care less about - I don't like RPG's or Dynasty Warriors and when it comes to fighting games I'm more into Ultimate Marvel. I still have some hope for that new Yoshi wool game.

Thanks for reading everyone!

@mfjubes I actually love my N64, mainly thanks to Super Mario 64 and WWF No Mercy.

@rafaelfc I don't come near RPG's so I think I'll pass, thanks!

@jacksukeru Waiting for like 5 seconds to go to settings is great? Damn. I specifically checked if my firmware is up to date, because I knew the situation was bad at launch.. I can't imagine it being much worse back then.

@theblue It's not the first time I bought a console for a specific game (I begun with buying N64 for WCW/nWo Revenge), but usually I was able to find some more cool games later on.. that's not the case this time. I'll play those 2 Mario games and Donkey Kong too and then sell it but maaaan, I wish I didn't feel like that. I'm not saying it's anyone's fault but mine, but it does not change my feeling that the bar for entry is too high to get to those sweet Mario games.
