WiiU

Anyone got one? Is it any good?

Will be a while before I can procure one, but I'm definitely interested.

I won't be getting it until I'm sold on the games it has, same as any new console. I find it best to wait at least a year before you adopt a new console. Hence why even though I would really love a Vita, it may end up having few games of note in the future.

From what I can tell the concept is great but it needs a lot more support before it can be considered really worthwhile, as well, avoid most games that were recently released on other platforms - a lot of them are sloppy ports or just shouldn't exist at all on the platform (Mass Effect 3, without any DLC or the other two Mass Effect games = what the f...).

Any other manufacturer and I'd have said wait for the price drop, but the wii was £180 for most of it's life cycle...
I'm trying to find one to get our lass for xmas, but I'm loathe to pre-order as hmv, game, etc are all struggling so weren't forced to be there by the release date, and I prefer to get consoles retail rather than online, as it's easier to return if there's an issue... So if I find a zombieU pack between now and xmas I'll be able to tell you in the new year lol.

Yep. Zombiu does look hella cool!

Also attracted as I'm not a serious gamer. Nintendo tend to do the best 'fun' games!

I've always thought along the lines of get a Nintendo and a PC, and you can play 95% of anything decent that's released...

I guess. Never been much of a PC Gamer either.

And plus, as Nintendo proved they can take a gimmick and get the very best out of it. A lot of my friends felt the Wii was all gimmick and no trousers, but nearly all of us own one (me being an exception!)

The wii had some good games, but also ****loads of shovelware, but that worked for the ps/ps2 didn't it?
