Back to Back to Nintendo!

What is going on everyone? It has been a while since I posted here, a lot of things going on with gaming and other projects I'm working on, but I'll get to that in a bit. I am still playing my Wii U and I'm still having a blast with it. I went through a brief time (about a month or so) where I was convinced that it was a failure and that I shouldn't have wasted my money, I'm no longer feeling that and it is my go to system now.

So I was playing Call of Duty Black Ops 2 almost daily on my Wii U and I was getting pretty good! But all my friends at work played on the PS3 so I traded in my copy for the PS3 version. As I started playing that more on my PS3 I got back into Bioshock because Bioshock Infinite was coming out soon and since that game wasn't coming to Wii U I was kind of upset and played my PS3 a lot more. I finished Bioshock 1 and 2 back to back, then finished The Walking Dead episodes 1-5, then I finished Infamous 1 and finally Bioshock Infinite. I went through this big trophy kick too where I was playing games over and over to try to unlock more trophies. I have no clue why I was doing this, one of the features I liked most about the Wii U was beating a game and not worrying about beating it on other difficulties to unlock trophies. I get way too caught up on trophies or achievements if they are there. I wanted to play new games to get new experiences but couldn't because of those stupid trophies!

The Wii U has such great potential and I'm really hoping that developers will start giving it the same love they give to PS3 and Xbox 360. Like I mentioned above I was pretty upset that Bioshock Infinite wasn't released on the Wii U, Bioshock is one of my favorite games so this was a big big deal to me. I know there are a lot of Wii U games coming out in the future and a lot of good ones so there is still hope. One of the other things that has been kind of upset is that Injustice: Gods Among Us isn't getting the season pass or Arrow skin for the Green Arrow. I've been in a bit of a DC comic phase as of late and I'm really digging the TV show Arrow and I was pretty excited to see that you can get that skin for Injustice, but when I saw it was only for PS3 and 360 I was crushed. I currently have Injustice with the season pass pre-ordered for PS3 but if they announce the Arrow skin for Wii U I'll change my pre-order today.

Fast forward to a little more recently I decided I wanted to beat Batman Arkham City, since I have the Armored version for Wii U I fired up the Wii U and started playing around with TVii and Miiverse, then I started playing Batman and I remembered how much I loved the controller, how much I loved being able to keep playing on the controller with my TV off. I also went out and picked up Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate and Lego City Undercover, both are a lot of fun and they will likely keep me on the Wii U for a bit longer. Also some pretty good games have been announced like the new Assassins Creed and Watchdogs, plus a HD Zelda games. I don't know what will happen when PS4 and Xbox 720 comes out, I don't know how the Wii U will compete with those systems and at this point I don't care, my Wii U is a lot of fun and I'm going to keep playing it until I have a good reason not to play it anymore.
