Is the Wii U going to be a hit?


It's been announced during E3, that Nintendo would soon release their new gaming console in 2012 called the Wii U. This new gaming device features a new tablet controller touch screen.

The Wii U won't play DVD's or Blu-Ray. If fact, the tablet controller seems to be the main feature then the actual console. The tablet has some similarity functions like an Ipad. With the tablet controller, you can play games even when the TV is off. It allows you to browse the internet, make video calls, view games in a different perspective, and even use it as a drawing tablet. The Wii U has also won over some third-party developers such as Tekken, Assassin's Creed, and Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge.

So this is a new console in 2011 that matches the power of the 360 which came out in 2005. Featuring huge bulky controller and a third-party lineup of games that are already expected on PS3 and 360. I'm not sold on the multi platform ports or the new console. All those features are nice, but don't really impress me. Like I've said before, it's all about how amazing the gameplay is. If you don't got good games, you don't got jack. So if you already have a Wii, PS3, or 360 I don't recommend this new console. It just seems unnecessary.
