I can't bring myself to get excited about this.
As someone who used to be a big Nintendo fan, the way the Wii was handled killed a lot of my loyalty.
Considering the hardware is barely better than current consoles, $300-$350 seems a little high. Not to mention the very limited storage shows how little Nintendo actually cares about downloadable games. Most AAA games are around 10GB so one or two games will eat all your storage space before you have to buy a harddrive or other storage devices.
ZombiU and Bayonetta 2 are cool but not enough to warrant a console purchase. They should have had a zelda or Mario galaxy in the launch line-up.
Not to mention that current PCs and the next-gen consoles will be WAY more powerful than the WiiU. I don't see developers making WiiU ports of their games throughout the entire lifecycle.
Honestly, the more I think about it, the less I like it. This is the first Nintendo console that I'm probably going to skip.
