So as you can see its been months since my last post, I still play my Wii U but not nearly as much as my other consoles. I want to start out by saying that I think that the Wii U does have great potential as a gaming console, but I think Nintendo needs to stop trying to compete with Sony and Microsoft as a leading console. I don't see Microsoft ever being able to compete with Microsoft or Sony on that level. We hear the argument all the time that Nintendo should pull a SEGA and just make games, get out of the console market, well that isn't a bad argument. Can you imagine being able to play a Legend of Zelda game on the PS3/PS4? I would personally love to have Pokemon on my Vita so I don't have to carry my 3DS with me, but I think Nintendo is doing well enough with their handhelds that it would never happen.
Has anyone else noticed that the Wii U optical drive is crap? I already had to send mine back to Nintendo once because it stopped reading discs, but it seems if a disc has the tiniest scratch the system won't read it. I'm only buying digital games from now on but its pretty annoying.
Nintendo just released Wii U Fit on the eShop, I have it downloaded and will give it a try tomorrow, I'm looking forward to playing it, I had a lot of fun playing Wii Fit back on the original Wii. Just in case you didn't know Wii U Fit is free for a month, after the month of free use is up then you'll have to buy a Wii Fit Meter that unlocks the game again. The Wii Fit Meter looks like a pedometer but I haven't really looked into it enough to give anymore details than that.
I mentioned above that I do still play my Wii U, my son and I play Disney Infinity together and I still play the new Mario from time to time. I'm looking forward to more VC games, I think that is when I'll start playing more Wii U is when I can play some of my N64 or Gamecube favorites. On a closing note the next Wii U game I pick up will probably be Batman Arkham Origins, I'm in no rush to get it because Call of Duty Ghosts comes out tomorrow and the PS4 comes out next week but I will eventually pick it up and it will be for the Wii U because the Wii U version of Arkham City was my favorite version.
