    I really don't know anymore.

    The games that always drove Zelda, Mario and to a lesser extent Fire Emblem and Metroid have lost a lot of their punch for what seems like the first time ever.

    but chances are once a new Zelda comes out I'll get weak and buy one.

    Pick any one of the following

    -A Metroid game that doesn't suck. Kinda becoming a mathematical impossibility. It's been what 10 years since Fusion?

    -An F-Zero game, or some other franchise Nintendo's been ignoring, like Custom Robo. Man okay if they had a new Custom Robo, I'd buy 2 Wii Us. Also probably never going to happen.

    -Price drop. I wouldn't really want the Wii U but if it costs any less, it'd be an easy impulse buy for me. This is probably the most likely outcome.

    -5 games that are mind-blowingly good, as in 5 killer apps, 5 system sellers, 5 Super Mario Galaxy 2s. The Wii didn't even have this for me, so I really doubt this one too.

    -Smash Bros, I guess, but I'm beginning to feel like I'm in an abusive relationship with Nintendo where I still love it for a couple special games, but it keeps beating me with mini-game collections and kart racing games every time I run my mouth.

    So basically a price drop, or Smash Bros, whatever happens first.

    If a new Metroid game came out and the new super smash bros. That'd probably capture my interest.

    @iceman228433: Just out of curiosity why is your purchase of a game contingent on its inclusion of voice acting? Do you really hate reading or something?

    Nothing. The 3DS is serving all my Nintendo needs which is about 2-3 of their games a year.

    I'd buy a WiiU for dirt cheap. Other than that, meh.
