good good
I wonder who will actualy buy and play black ops 2 on Wii U like honestly… everyone knows it will be a war between PS3 and 360 for this.
I am buying it. I know a lot of people who are buying it on Wii U forums too.
That source is rather biased. Wii U forums, ofcourse they would be.
I hate COD with the bottom of my heart . But its going to be full 1080p on wiiu and you can use two screens for coop .
The wiiu version is clearly a LOT better than the 360 and ps3 version .
Can the pc version run 2 screens asymetrically ??? NOPE !!! the wiiu verion is superior in every way . You can even use the legendary wii pointer controlls !!!
This is just one of the many reasons to purchase the Wii U, Nintendward. Asymmetric gameplay is the way of the future and the Big N is opening up a fresh brand new can of kick ass and take names!!!!!!!
You most likely haven’t even played it yet. This is just like when others say WiiU will suck and you guys say they have no way of knowing that yet. Saying the WiiU version is better before you’ve even played it is just as bad. I’m not saying it won’t be better, because for one thing I haven’t played it yet either.
Well the mounthttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgqiowqoFao&feature=g-all-liking evidence for the wiiu version suggest’s its by far superior
that was a fail . The evidence for the wiiu version suggests its far far far superior to the 360 and ps3 version . research and you will see .
You forgot graphics. Graphics always are better on PC. Don’t get me wrong, I still love Wii, but facts are facts.
The point is not that people will prefer WiiU over ps3/xbox, the point is that there are plenty of people who are getting it for WiiU.
I’ll get Black Ops 2 for Wii U and I own a PS3
I will be playing on my Wii U entertainment system with Call of Duty Black Ops Il on the Nintendo Network
Lets try it out first,
Im leaning towards WiiU for black ops 2 ^-^
Not buying it at all.
Although if I had to it’ll be on a platform with an actual userbase comprised of real gamers.
You need to read a dictionary there are more words besides gamer, fanboy, nintendrone, casual, hardcore.
Have you noticed that he did not say any one of those words in that coment?
Gamer is on there please do learn how to read, and have you ever seen this guy post? No? Then gtfo.
There’s a difference between “gamers” and “gamer”.
Ooooo its missing an s and its plural you are smart person you know, specially when you say that whoever plays any kind of nintendo device is not a real “gamer” smh.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
U mad? he said gamers not gamer :P
And I have. I know its onw of those Aeolus clones. I remember when the legit Aeolus posted here time ago, now he is gone or under a different name anyways. Out of the clones this guy is the most reasonable.
…You’re calling me a clone?
I am seriously disappointed in you. :/
The real one had a gravatar account if I recall corectly.
I never had one. My original gravtar when I started poster was a lime green one with a blue background, which changed to red/white, then the email got banned and I started bypassing it.
Then came an influx of clones posting under the alias, causing a world of confusion that still continues, so I guess I don’t entirely blame you.
Maybe I’ll just make a new username and actual account eventually…
ahhhh yup now I remember that randomly generated gravatar! I finaly made a gravatar account myself, I used to be allison with that ugly green and pink gravatar symbol.
I think I remember you, lol.
gravatar*
or you can just stop coming to a site about a company that you hate. seriously why do you even go on here? what do you possibly gain from going on a site that reports news about something you don’t like?
Check out the Retro post. Your opinion of him will change.
I like how this guy tells it like it is despite getting blasted back by fanboys.
I is gay.
Im not buying it my self either, not a CoD fan at all. But If I did im not sure what id get it for between my 360 and PS3.
shut up fangirl . why would you prefer to get it for your ps3 and 360 ??? because those versions are less than 720p native compared to the wiiu’s 1080p native ??? or is it the fact that on the ps3 and 360 you cannot use two different screens for VS and coop online or off ????
You sound like a fuking dumass . And yeh , the userbase on Wiiu for eve cod will skyrocket much quicker than you think
PC version = best graphics , wiiu version = second best graphics , capable of running two screens AT ONCE .
Its a clear victory for the PC and Wiiu .
360 version = not even native 720p loads of noobs and kids online .
ps3 version = not even 720p native , loads of older dick heads online .
Why would I get it for one of them if I did even consider getting that game? maybe because everyone I know plays those games on either 360 or PS3 thats why. I dont know a single person that will even consider getting it for Wii U fanboy.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgqiowqoFao&feature=g-all-lik
Loads of people will be playing it on the brand new WIIU console . within a month , there will be over a million online Black ops 2 players on wiiu , maybe even loads more. PLUS , the people online on the wiiu version will be cool wiiu owners who are not poor fanboys . nuff said .
God are you kidding me? Nintendo fanboys are by the far worst in my opinion! this webistes comenters are a prime example!
and you are a bitch , any new news ???
Saying my opinion on here how it is. Far from being a bitch.
Hahaha funny how you say “Nintendo Fanboys” are the worst when most “Xbox/Playstation Fanboys” constantly down Nintendo all the time without giving it them a single chance, and anyway all “Fanboys” suck in general. Plus you barely ever see “Nintendo Fanboys” go on Xbox/Playstation sites and consantly talk about how bad their systems graphics suck, how badly their controls suck, and how bad their 3rd party games are. There are only about 3-5 serious “Nintendo Only” gamers on this site, the rest are usually just making fun of how they act, and talk, etc. Oh yeah and I never see any of the “Nintendo Only” gamers talk about how they are “hardcore gamers” and how others are only “casual”. Oh and I remember you as Alison lol, for some unknown reason I only see you on here when Aeolus is on here, Coincidence I think not.
rjason I am in no way related to aeolus in any way. You probaly wont believe it but what ever its the truth. Ive been commenting on this site for about as long as him though.
Yeah I do not care lol I was joking about that, but not about the part only seeing you comment on articles with aeolus on it. But just like him you totally avoided my entire point/comment.
Pretty much everyone else is getting it on the PS3 or 360. If I was to even consider buying it, I’d probably get it for the PS3 so I can play it with my friends. None of my friends are really that into Nintendo games, the only person I know who’s buying it, is buying it only for Smash Bros, I can perfectly understand why Cynphira would rather get it for those consoles.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZgqiowqoFao&feature=g-all-lik
I cannot understand that . fuck your friends on the ps3 . the wiiu version is better lol . tell your friends to buy a wiiu even if they want to sell it when the psquad comes out .
aaannnd once again we have this deluded prick who comes here time and time again stating his opinion as if anyone gives one flying piece of shit about what he thinks. You’re doing a bang up job Aeolus, whatever makes you feel good about yourself and keeps you from swallowing a bullet to end your pain, im behind ya buddy!
You must be new to the internet.
Of course, what did I expect, another biased opinion from Aeolus…
xbox 360 userbase consists of 20 million Kinnect users !! SERIOUS ROLF !!!!
The wiiu is the best console of all time . I just bought a 32” LG for my bedroom , now I have 2 HUGE 1080p tv’s!!!!!!!
implying 32 inches is a big TV >_<
Don’t forget, they only know SDTV.
Fora bedroom TV uts huge , lol . My livingroom tv is bigger .
Valid argument. But after a bit of time it will have a substantial userbase. Transition takes time.
I am, it will have superior graphics so why not?
I will. Already pre-ordered it, and I own both a PS3 and 360. Normally I’d get any online muliplayer game on 360, but I really want to see how this pans out on Wii U. If it turns out to be trash on Wii U (or more specifically on Nintendo Network) then i’ll get the 360 version later.
ITS FULL HD 60 fps on wiiu whilst running two screens at once . How could that possibly be worse than the 360 version ??? I also own a ps3 and 360 but I will buy it for the newer console like you say , lololololo
Are you some kind of idiot? No-one gives a shit about split screen, most people just want to play online.
And if nintendo network fails so will cod Wii U
”No one gives a shit about split screen” HAHAHAHHA you fuckin clown.
Its not ‘split screen’ its 2 different screens , you fucking tard. split screen is shit . On wiiu two people can play together one uses the TV and one uses the gamepad screen ,. YOU LOSE YOU PIECE OF SHIT .
Rule #1: Never underestimate Nintendo
Secondly… if it weren’t for Electronic Arts for helping Nintendo out with the gaming online interface, etc., there wouldn’t be a Nintendo Network. Simple as that… clear as crystal.
I’m buying it. Waited for an announcement on purpose so I didn’t pre-order for the wrong system.
Everyone who wants to play it with new features and even faster gameplay
WiiU owners?
SING PARTY ALL DAY YALL!
I am cause my 3rrd 360 broke
mass effect 3?
Yeah, I noticed that was missing, too.
Mario, Scrib, Bat, Creed, Zomb, Tek

I found this to be quite funny when I stumbled upon on it. No Wii U version either, and it’s being delivered by Bioware themselves this time.
Nintendrones just know they’ll forever be screwed out of awesome, lmao.
http://na.llnet.bioware.cdn.ea.com/u/f/eagames/bioware/masseffect3/website/images/about/trilogy/trilogy_vignette-p.jpg
http://www.vgblogger.com/wp-content/uploads/NintendoWiiUBoxArt/MassEffect3_WiiU_BoxArt.jpg
The latter is likely $59.99 you decide which is the better deal, LOL.
You need some serious help.
Because I post something to inform buyers in case they thought of buying the Wii U version?
Nobody who owns another HD console has any legitimate reason to get ME3 Wii U over this collection.
Gamepad controls for powers and weapons. Slightly improved graphics. All DLC released so far included. There you go.
That’s a reason now?
HOLY SHIT.
Some newfangled controls and DLC over THREE. FREAKING. GAMES??????
Most core gamers with a Wii also own a PS3, PC or Xbox, meaning that they may have already played 1 or 2. Mass Effect 3 is a relatively new game, and is for people who have not played 3 yet on other consoles. I have already played 3, but the Wii U version is better than the other versions.
The Wii U version and the Collection cater to different people.
Translation: I pre-ordered ME3 and now my buyer’s remorse is trying to tell me it’s a worthwhile purchase.
I personally have not played that series, and I know plenty others who haven’t. So unless you can fish up some statistics that prove most core gamers on the HD twins have played the Mass Effect series, this is total conjecture, especially the quality of the Wii U port in comparison with the others.
Most gamers which were interested in the series before this announcement have already played through all three games. This collection is for people who haven’t played it yet get the chance to play the Mass Effect games.
The Wii U version is for people who have played through 1 and/or 2 but not 3 yet, are planning on getting a Wii u and want the best experience of the game.
At least no Nintendo-fan cries like a PS3/X360 fanbaby on the internet about Bayonetta 2.
I am actually, and i own all three consoles and do you want to hear my reason, because i want a different gaming experience on a different console, is that a legit excuse or not because if its not then ill throw away all my consoles and keep the one you want me to keep because i REALLY need your approval so i can go on with my life.
No, you actually need help because you continue to somehow convince yourself that anyone here gives a shit about anything you may possibly have to say coupled with your seeming obsession to try and convince others your more than less than nothing anywhere outside of wherever you spend all day doing your best to insult people. :)
Is that why you reply to the majority of my comments doing nothing but whining about my posts?
It’s okay, I know I’m the overlord of Hardcore HD gaming, but I don’t swing your way.
You mean the Overlord of Mainstream Sub-HD Gaming.
Tell us all how the PC is now suddenly anything less than HD.
I’m referring the PS3/360
Why refer to it? You know very well I’m not limited to those platforms.
I know, but, seeing as you champion the PS3 like it’s your God, I have to.
Tell that to your cloned boyfriend of yours, loser.
Unless the HD console you own is the WiiU.
Mass effect 1 on a PS3? well I wonder what it took to convince microsoft to allow that… Not bad though but I already got the later two so deffinetly not a good deal for me. Ill just download the first one or something if I cant find a disk version.
So? The Wii U potentially (it can still be announced) misses out an a series that most core gamers which are Nintendo fans have played on another console. Plus, this compliation hasn’t got the updated Mass Effect 3 port for Wii U.
But slightly related… Mass Effect 1 on the PS3!?!? Freaking awesome!!!
“Updated ME3 port”
If by updated you mean gimmicky tablet controls, then okay. I’m sure that’s a more meaningful incentive over this collection. Just like Photo Camo was on MGS3D against MGSHD…ohwait.
Fact: the Wii U version of Mass Effect 3 will be better than the version in the collection.
I agree, the 3DS version of MGS3 was very inferior to the MGSHD Collection, but that is because of better controls and graphics on the collection. But here, the Wii U version ME3 is better in just about every single way to the collection version, there is no getting around it.
Fact?
Opinion, and you have never played that version nor does it have reviews as of yet. Try again.
From the information we have gotten about the gamepad compatibility, and the fact that it is coming out for a more powerful system, it is very safe to assume that it is the better version.
I fail to see how new controls is possibly going to make it a better game.
For all you know, it could be a very sloppy port in the final build, too.
Who cares about ports?What,you don’t want it to have any games at all?Every system needs ports at launch,and then after half a year it will get exclusive games and multiplat ones.
Powers and weapons become very easy to select, and giving orders to team-mates is much more intuitive, and might actually be used because of it. And if you don’t like it, play with the Pro Controller. Improvement right there.
By updated he means hes very sorry you feel shitty about your life and apologises for all of us here for not giving a shit about anything you’re saying here. :)
That’s quite a good list.
Already wanting a few of those myself.
dame preorders sold out everywhere took me three years to get my hands on a wii don’t want to go thru that again homies
Black ops
Mario bros u
Nintendo land
Maybe more
Meh, to be honest, I’d only buy five of them: New Super Mario Bros. U, Nintendo Land, Darksiders II, ZombiU and Rayman Legends.
I would also like that TANK! Game as well as nano asault neo and mighty switch force. Oh and that new lego city game.
NSMBU! O_O

Still, 3 games are a lot!.
Yeah, it’s enough since I’ll have other games I’m playing on PS3, Xbox 360, Vita, and 3DS around that time too. November will be busy, busy, busy, for games. (not to mention, expensive!)
Most of those titles besides…uhhh…
Okay, I’m sorry but all of those titles listed at launch are “Do not want” in my book.
Doesn’t matter if you don’t want them, they’re still good games and, of course, you don’t want them. They’re on a Nintendo console.
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two is the only (and definitive) title for the Wii U being published by Disney’s Junction Point… while the inferior sub-HD twins are being developed by someone we don’t give a shit about.
Mr fukkin negativeity over here :P . I am getting about 10 of those games . Fucking the ps3 versions and waiting for wiiu versions . silly I know …….
Not negative. No point in getting games I don’t want or games that I’m getting on other systems.
I’m still getting a handful of games from that list.
Did Wipeout just got stolen?
I ask you to google “Wipeout 3 Wii U”. Then you’ll see what you’ll actually be getting.
hardcore game for real, passionate gamers
i’m buying a wii u for sure
Definitely.
Actually, this game was the one and only reason to convince me to buy the WiiU.
Mario ? Zelda ? No ty. This game is the REAL shit. Everything else is just a huge piece of nothing compared to this.
STFU you nintendo hating fanboy piece of shit , TROLOLLOLOLOLO ROFL!!!!!!!
y u no zelda
Since when has there been a Zelda launch title? And don’t say Twilight Princess since that was just a GameCube game ported over.
I gotta say, THAT’S an impressive launch lineup!
no lego city undercover :(
Nice line up.
where is Pikmin 3!!
And rayman legends
now if they can keep that flow of titles up it will be all gravy and really is the clockspeed that low on wii u
The GPU will cover some of the CPU’s tasks. It has a GPGPU.
I’m skeptical about Black Ops II, I’ll have to see if they’ve made any notable changes besides new maps, weapons, and perks.
You got it backwards on rayman legends. It’s a launch title in NA and in EU its launch window.
No, it’s what the article says.
I have to say, this launch line up is very strong. Anyone who disagrees is slightly deluded. The Wii U will sell very well at launch, the games completly back it up.
NSMBU, Rabbids and Skylanders for the casuals, ZombiU, Rayman and the ports for core gamers. This is all very good.
Very strong ? Sure, if you call a line up that mostly consists of ports and shitty games “strong”, then it is strong indeed.
And why would any core gamer buy a new system if they can play all the ports on systems they already own ? Yea, because there’s no reason and thus they won’t buy it.
The only ones who will buy the WiiU at launch will be the category of those Nintendo fans who buy basically anything that says “Nintendo” on it.
“Shitty” games? Yeah, Zombi-U, Pikmin 3, P-100, etc. are shitty games? Besides, most of the ports are either enhanced or have more content or run better and they’re still good games. Oh and I love how you’re saying that only Nintendo fanboys are going to buy it but, then again, what did I expect from Aeolus’s boyfriend.
First of all, I said it MOSTLY consists of ports and shitty games. The word “mostly” is referring to a fraction that is bigger than 50%. But, it is not referring to 100%, because 100% is not “the most” of something, it’s “all”. Means, I was not talking about every single game in the list.
Secondly, the little bit of not-so-signifant content is not worth 500$. I highly doubt that anyone with common sense will buy the WiiU just to be able to play those ports with an unsignifant amount of extra content.
Thirdly, Pikmin 3 and P-100 aren’t even on the list.
Fourthly, ZombiU is shitty. And ugly.
And last but not least, I am a female. So, due to biological reasons, I can’t even be Aelous’ boyfriend. Just because two people are in the possession of common sense and agree with each other it doesn’t mean they’re in a relationship.
Ouch, looks like someone is upset. I guess, you’re Aeolus’s lover. Besides, you said it’s filled with mostly shitty games and ports, which is not the case. Besides, no one spends $500 or above on a console unless you’re a Sony drone who actually went out to get a PS3 at launch.
Again, if ports and multi-plats don’t count as good games, you’ve effectively removed 90% of the PS3/360’s gaming library.
I’m pretty sure she meant $50 titles. Wii U games are seemingly going to retail higher than that, so it’s an even worse scenario for the shovelware on it.
The Wii U has virtually nothing going for it for people who already own a HD console, that is the point being made here. In no shape or form is it worth a purchase until they start showing some next-gen games that aren’t looking like PSN/XBL titles. ZombiU could very easily end up being the next Red Steel, but were woefully overhyped and time will only tell when ZombiU likely isn’t going to be as good as previews suggested.
Seeing as Zombi-U is getting good impressions while Red Steel didn’t, doubt it. Also, of course the Wii-U is going to have $60, wtf did you expect and, besides, EVERY system has shovelware and the best selling system has the most. Oh and what Wii-U game looks like a PSN/XBLA title, I’d love to know…besides the occasional bad launch title. Oh and, btw, the PS3/360 are sub-HD systems and the Wii-U is getting superior multi-plats so there are definitely reasons to getting a Wii-U, especially since it has exclusives on top of it, you know, the reason for getting a console in the first place.
Wonderful 101 totally looks like a competent retail release on a next-gen platform. Oh, Pikmin 3 as well.
/s
U mad because The Wonderful 101 (formerly Project P-100) is from the developers of Bayonetta 2… both games are Wii U EXCLUSIVES!!!!!!!
Yeah, a game needs blood, sex, and gore for it to be good! God forbid a game doesn’t have that!
How can you tell by a comment that I’m upset ? As far as I know, simply typed words are not able to express any feelings.
And no, I’m not.
And yes, it indeed is the case.
And yes, you’d be spending at least 500$ for the WiiU plus the games and ports that would be worth buying if they wouldn’t happen to be out on other systems already, despite the fact that the WiiU itself is about 350$ and the games are 60$. So, the WiiU plus 3 games makes more than 500$ already.
And I never said ports are bad games. I was trying to say that nobody is going to buy a new system at launch if a big part of the launch line-up consists of ports because there aren’t many people who would spend so much money on a system that offers mostly the same games as a system they already own.
And uh, you don’t seem to know much about gaming. If you would, you would know that both the PS3 and Xbox360 definitely offer more things than ports. In fact, they offer a bigger variety of IPs than the Wii, which offers, when it comes down to IPs, only rehashes of the same IPs that have been around for 30 years. Well, actually every Nintendo system does that…
Oh, and they offer 3rd-party titles. A lot of 3rd-party titkes. But you probably never heard of them, the Wii didn’t really offer many of them after all.
So no one should’ve brought a 360 or a PS3 at launch with their mediocre launch titles
No should buy a 360 over a PS3, seeing as it doesn’t have the same amount of exclusives as the PS3 and more or less lives off of multi-plats
It’s common knowledge that the vast majority of games on the PS3/360 are multi-plats, especially in the 360’s case
Nintendo doesn’t rehash old IP’s, using the same characters isn’t rehashing, unless you’re trying to tell me that SMB plays like SMG and that LoZ plays like LoZ: SS and, if you are, then you just proved how biased you are against Nintendo
I own more than a Wii but keep on assuming I only play on one system, it’s cute to see someone argue like Aeolus, a certified Sony dick-sucker
Launch titles of the PS3 and Xbox360 were entirely new games, no ports that existed before the systems actually launched, if I’m not mistaken.
And about the Multi-plats… Multi-plats = 3rd-party titles = 3rd-party support.
So, of course it’s worth buying consoles that offer a big library of 3rd-party titles. I don’t even see why you’re trying to bring them up as a negative aspect.
And Nintendo does rehash old IPs. Of course, it’s not only rehashing, saying that was my mistake, I’m not sure why I said that. It definitely wasn’t on purpose. But, they are relying on the same IPs over and over again, instead of creating new ones to offer their fans something different. And I’m definitely not biased against Nintendo. In fact, I’ve been their fan for many years. Doesn’t mean I can’t express criticism.
You call me a Sony dick-sucker, yet you are kissing Nintendo’s ass to an indescribable extend. But well, hypocrisy isn’t anything new in this community.
And I don’t assume you own a Wii only. Actually, I didn’t really say anything about what I think you own.
Yet the 360 had plenty of ports for it’s launch and, like the PS3, didn’t exactly have many great games at launch. Most of them were ok or good at best. There wasn’t a killer app there buddy.
My point was that you’re saying that no one would buy a system that has multi-plats and ports, yet that’s what the 360 is almost entirely reliant on, with few exclusives such as Halo and Gears of War.
Using the same IP doesn’t = rehashing. Using the same characters doesn’t mean it’s the same game over and over again. Unless you’re trying to tell me that changing the characters would all of a sudden make the game a lot different.
If kissing Nintendo’s ass means defending them, then cool.
Please tell me where I said that having multi-platforms is bad. Ports =/= multi-platforms.
I think there’s a big difference between a game that launches for multiple systems at the same time and a game that launches for certain systems first and then on another system a few months later.
And please tell me how Super Mario Bros. isn’t basically always the same, how Mario Party 1-8 isn’t basically the same just with different minigames + playboards and a few new features per game, how Mario Tennis isn’t basically always the same, how Mario Kart isn’t basically always the same just with different tracks and a few power-ups, how Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 weren’t basically the same just with different stages. I could go on but I guess you should be getting the point by now.
And I already said that it was a mistake of mine saying that all the IPs are only being rehashed.
Changing the characters, in-game items and level-design aren’t the only ways to create new and different games.
And if you see “being blind to Nintendo’s mistakes” as “defending” then you sure are defending them.
Super Mario Bros ins’t always the same thing, unless you’re trying to tell me there’s no difference between SMB, SMB2, SMB3, and SMW. Mario Party and the NSMB series are, hencewhy I dislike them. As for Mario Kart, if you didn’t notice changes in how the game is played from SMK, MK64, MKDD, and MKW, then there’s something wrong with you. As for SMG 1-2, you’re right, hencewhy I only own SMG.
Oh and, you’re trying to bring up supposed mistakes, so I’m defending that.
“And why would any core gamer buy a new system if they can play all the ports on systems they already own ?”
Welcome. To. PCs.
There was no reason to buy a 360, which was and still is a watered-down PC, at launch (halo fans lapped it up though). Even LESS of a reason to buy a PS3 at launch (everyone had a PS2 and people only bought it because it had “Sony” on it, even though it was fucking $600 and had like 1 good game at launch). And the only conceivable reason to buy a Wii at launch was because it was “the wave of the future” at the time.
The WiiU is a NEW console that costs $300 and has exclusives that people care about. It’s in no way a system for brand-loyalty. It’s going to have a better launch than last gen and many consoles before it, and that’s a fact.
I think comparing PCs to gaming consoles is something entirely different than comparing a console to another console.
And yes, there were reasons to buy both the Xbox360 and the Playstation 3 at launch. They were new and offered things that haven’t ever been offered before them. Their online systems, for instance. Or the hardware. No other video game system ever had such technologically advanced hardware at that time. Though, the first games didn’t really show much of it.
For people who do not own a PS3 or/and a Xbox360, the launch line-up may be considered as good indeed. But for those who do own at least one of them, it is not that outstanding. Because of the reasons above; It offers many games that can be bought on those other systems already.
And I still do think that at launch it will be up to brand-loyalty.
But yea, as well as I do not really agree with the points you did make, you are not forced to agree with me neither.
“I think comparing PCs to gaming consoles is something entirely different than comparing a console to another console.”
WHY? How? In WHAT conceivable way?? They are all -gaming platforms-. The only difference is that there is NO brand loyalty to owning a PC. Not a single one of you kiddies on this site who argue DAILY about who’s toy is better has built a gaming PC that they maintain. I guarantee it. This is what’s wrong with you console-only “gamers” who think having the most powerful CONSOLE to play multiplats on is in any way relevant. PC is better in every single imaginable way, consoles are only for exclusives.
“They were new and offered things that haven’t ever been offered before them. Their online systems, for instance. Or the hardware. No other video game system ever had such technologically advanced hardware at that time.”
MAYBE FOR CONSOLES! You know what the 360 offered? Online -WITH ADS- that you have to -PAY FOR-. You know what the PS3 and Wii offered? Shit online. Online gaming is NOTHING new. There is nothing relevant you can do with a console that you can’t do with a PC. There is NO SINGLE REASON to play a multiplat game on a console. NONE. At the same time, there are TONS of reasons to play those games on PC instead (MODS, better online, better graphics).
“For people who do not own a PS3 or/and a Xbox360, the launch line-up may be considered as good indeed. But for those who do own at least one of them, it is not that outstanding. Because of the reasons above; It offers many games that can be bought on those other systems already.”

$600 fucking dollars for this. Don’t even TRY to defend this while at the same time saying this:
“The only ones who will buy the WiiU at launch will be the category of those Nintendo fans who buy basically anything that says “Nintendo” on it.”
You’re fucking JOKING. You’re DELUDED. It’s disgusting how hypocritical you are. The WiiU is -HALF- the price with an -objectively- better line-up. If you’re saying those things were worth getting at launch, there is NO WAY IN HELL the WiiU wouldn’t be.
Fuck your “opinions”, they’re not consistent enough for me to care about your “well, that’s just your opinion, man” bullshit. Get the fuck out of here with that garbage. You and that areola dipshit are clearly biased and it could not be more obvious to someone who doesn’t give two shits about brand-loyalty.

“objectivity” is up to people’s opinions these days, I hear
Comparing a console to a PC is different because of the reason you have given yourself. PCs are better in any possible way, it doesn’t make sense to compare a PC to a console because it’s a different dimension.
And there apparently are reasons to buy/play multi-platform games on consoles. They sell well, as you can see. And they wouldn’t be called multi-plat if there was no reason to buy them, because if there was no reason, they would not exist on consoles. And that would make the games exclusive to PC. So, with that logic, gaming consoles probably wouldn’t even exist.
And I like how you think you can simply tell that I am a console-only “gamer” just by reading like 5 comments of mine.
And no, you are wrong. I do have a self-built gaming PC.
I didn’t buy a PS3 at launch nor did I buy a Xbox360. So I can’t tell how the online was at the beginning. But I can tell that the PS3 has been offering great online for a few years now. I don’t really see anything shitty about it. And if I’m not mistaken, online gaming in that way on gaming consoles was new indeed, correct me if I’m wrong. But I definitely did not say online gaming in general was something new.
You’re complaining about the 600$ people paid for it. If you look a little higher on there, you’ll see that there were people who actually paid 2000$ for it. I never said Nintendo has the only fan-base with a category of people who buy anything that says the name of the company on. As we can see, other fan-bases do have it as well. But, I referred to the Nintendo fan-base here because I was talking about the WiiU, which is Nintendo’s product, obviously.
And to be honest, I don’t see why I’m hypocritical neither. The whole time I’ve been saying that the launch line-up mostly consists of ports and shitty games. And because I used the word “mostly” I was obviously not referring to every game on the list. And I said it’s not that much of a great line-up for people who do own a PS3 or a Xbox360, because, as we all should be knowing already, I said that it contains games that are available already, games that are not new. I do not see anything hypocritical about it. And just because I am critizing Nintendo’s WiiU and “defend” other systems doesn’t mean I hate Nintendo, nor does it mean I like the other companies more. It simply means that I don’t find the WiiU as perfect as many here are trying to make it look like. I’ll stick with my opinion.
But yea, you can call me what the hell you ever want to call me, but there’s no way I’m going out of here. And even if I were to get out of here, I’d definitely not do it because some random person tells me to.
“Comparing a console to a PC is different because of the reason you have given yourself. PCs are better in any possible way, it doesn’t make sense to compare a PC to a console because it’s a different dimension.”

Is this serious statement? They. Are. Both. Gaming. Systems. Get that through your head. If they can play the -same games-, there is no reason not to compare them. It’s in NO WAY an unfair comparison to make. You can have both in your home and use them for gaming. There is no reason you’d have to CHOOSE between them.
“And there apparently are reasons to buy/play multi-platform games on consoles. They sell well, as you can see. And they wouldn’t be called multi-plat if there was no reason to buy them, because if there was no reason, they would not exist on consoles. And that would make the games exclusive to PC. So, with that logic, gaming consoles probably wouldn’t even exist.”
I like how you disputed my claim and didn’t provide a single example. As if that’s going to convince anyone. Name some reasons. Go ahead, provide me with some incentive to play Boarderlands 2 on my console as opposed to my Please enlighten me.
Your logic is INCREDIBLY flawed. The only reason they sell is because people are too lazy/dumb to build gaming PCs. Companies make games to make MONEY, not provide the user with the best possible experience. They’re a business and they do what’s profitable. Don’t be dumb, this is the real world.
“And I like how you think you can simply tell that I am a console-only “gamer” just by reading like 5 comments of mine.
And no, you are wrong. I do have a self-built gaming PC.”
That’s because you ARE. I know you’re only saying this to help your argument. I’m all too familiar with this method of empowerment. Feel free to post your specs/ timestamped picture of the interior of your rig to show otherwise. I’ll drop the whole thing right now if you do. Keep in mind that I’ll check the EXIF data of the image you link. Go ahead, prove me wrong.
“I didn’t buy a PS3 at launch nor did I buy a Xbox360. So I can’t tell how the online was at the beginning. But I can tell that the PS3 has been offering great online for a few years now. I don’t really see anything shitty about it. And if I’m not mistaken, online gaming in that way on gaming consoles was new indeed, correct me if I’m wrong. But I definitely did not say online gaming in general was something new.”
Online capability. Being able to play your games with others through an internet connection. It’s worse on consoles when compared to PC. Also, nothing new. The SERVICE that is PSN or LIVE I could give less of a shit about, Steam is way better. That sort of service is nothing to brag about.
“You’re complaining about the 600$ people paid for it. If you look a little higher on there, you’ll see that there were people who actually paid 2000$ for it. I never said Nintendo has the only fan-base with a category of people who buy anything that says the name of the company on. As we can see, other fan-bases do have it as well. But, I referred to the Nintendo fan-base here because I was talking about the WiiU, which is Nintendo’s product, obviously.”
Congrats. That doesn’t contradict anything I said though. You’re still acting demeaning towards others for being excited for an -objectively- better launch than what they’re used to. Which is fucking obnoxious and sickening. Especially on a site filled with -most likely- a majority of younger people.
“And to be honest, I don’t see why I’m hypocritical neither. The whole time I’ve been saying that the launch line-up mostly consists of ports and shitty games. And because I used the word “mostly” I was obviously not referring to every game on the list.

It simply means that I don’t find the WiiU as perfect as many here are trying to make it look like. I’ll stick with my opinion.”
And this whole time I’ve been saying that new consoles mean nothing someone who has a gaming PC (AKA, a smart consumer). This is nothing new. This is not something new with the WiiU. I, as someone who has been gaming primarily on PC for almost a decade, find the WiiU’s launch line-up to be in every way better than any system last gen and MOST other consoles before that. If you don’t? Ok, sure, whatever. Great! Don’t call others who are interested the equivalent of “drones” or some shit, as they have EVERY RIGHT to be excited in comparison to other console launches. Especially when you’re clearly showing bias that I guarantee is evident to most people who hold no ties to consoles. It’s obvious, like it or not. Not hating a company with every fiber of your being doesn’t make you less bias (looking at you, aeorgoalegrlelrg or whatever your name is).
“But yea, you can call me what the hell you ever want to call me, but there’s no way I’m going out of here. And even if I were to get out of here, I’d definitely not do it because some random person tells me to.”
I don’t actually give a crap what you do as long as you don’t give people for no reason other than enjoying things.
Yeah That kameo and perfect dark GCHD ports, was a great launch along with ports of 2006 and 2k sports games. And COD3 port
Guys, in Aeolus’s eyes, anyone who plays on Nintendo is a fake gamer, even though most of us play on other platforms, we’re still fake gamers.
Your name has faker in it. You’re already a fake gamer. Why couldn’t it be SuperRealBros?
Cool story, bro.
Wasn’t a story, bro.
Alright…k…so…what’s your point?
No Lego is gay.
You mean like your boyfriend Ziegfried von Scrotum? Have a seat.
between WiiU games coming out this year and the regular pc stuff, i should be able to last until Monster Hunter
and then meat cooking for hours and hours
Absolutely none of those sound that great. Mario is just another shit title after another with no innovation whatsoever and the rest are all too late.
Wii U Bayonetta, bro?
I’m getting AC 3 and Darksider 2 at launch. I was also going to get Mass Effect 3 and ZombieU later on since I didn’t get the chance to play ME3 earlier this year, and the Wii U has DLC from earlier. Since it’s not there, I’m going to get ZombiU and wait for ME3. After I’m done with those, I’ll get Ninja Gaiden 3, Tekken, and Black Ops is looking kind of interesting too. We’ll see. I’ll also get some downloable games.
I wasn’t going to get NG3 since the game was met with a lot of criticism, but the Wii U version is adding a lot of stuff not in the earlier version, so I got interested again. I have the money ready to be spent, but I’ll only get 3 games at launch because AC3 and DS2 alone will take a while to beat.
Nevermind Mass Effect 3. EA just f**ked up the Wii U version with the announcement that they’ll be releasing Mass Effect Trylogy on November 6th (before the release of the Wii U). It’s coming to the 360, PS3, and PC. Yeas, even the PS3 is getting ME 1. I guess I’ll get it for the PC then since my PS 3 is broken. Way to go, EA, way to go.
Well I’m getting ME3 for WiiU anyway.
It’s a solid launch. I suppose if I were super rich and could buy 10+ games all at once I’d be upset, but seeing as how I can’t do that, then I can’t be upset by this line-up. Add to this everything else that’s already announced for later on, and I’ll be content for a while.
Coolio. Getting Call of Duty Black Ops 2, Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros U, Zombi U, and Batman Arkham City Armored Edition on launch day.
Looks like five of the games I preordered I’ll be getting on launch day.
Damn. Very nice list. Getting ZombiU first.
I do not see Super Smash Brothers Univers on this list…
It’s because Namco-Bandai and Sakurai are STILL in the development process of creating a new Smash Bros. title for both Wii U and 3DS. In the next 2 years, they’ll let us know.
WHERE IS ZELDFA OMFG ?!
I’m going for Darksiders II, NSMBU and Ninja Gaiden 3 at launch. Combine that with LoZ: SS and Xenoblade Chronicles and it’s going to be a great christmas. Leave luck to heaven.
Alongside Nintendo Land (packaged with the Deluxe Set), I’m planning on getting Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2, ZombiU, Batman: Arkham City: Armored Edition, Assassin’s Creed III, and Tekken Tag 2: Wii U Edition.
3ds vs.ps vita
Round one:controls-tie (circle pad pro makes 3ds tie.Even though you have to pay 20 more dollars and few games support,it would balance out and the vita would still cost more)
Round 2:features-3ds(it already has two games in it.It has 3d,3ds sound where you can put music on.It supports 3d video playback,the eshop offers a lot and a couple of videos on it,and much more
Round 3-graphics-vita(don’t have to explain)
Round 4-games-3ds(don’t have to explain)
Round 5-advancement from predecessor-3ds
Round six:innovation-3ds (3d without glasses,nuff said)
Round seven:multitask-vita
3ds:4,vita:2,tie:1 3ds wins.Feel free to change and respond(even you trolls).
I am doing this again because not many people answered last time.
Loving this !! KEEP . IT . UP troll whisperer !!! fuck the ps vita , I will buy one in 3 years when it has a collection of games….
Round actually relevant for gaming device: Games
3ds wins hands down

Is rayman legends a wii line up game
No… but it’s part of the Wii U line up games and will be available at launch.
Cool! Man that box art is gorgeous!
No Rayman Legends or Mass Effect 3? Okay then I will get New Super Mario Bros. U, Assassin’s Creed 3, Batman Arkham City: Armored Edition, Ninja Gaiden 3 Razor’s Edge, Darksiders II, Call of Duty Black Ops 2, Zombi U, and Nintendo Land. I may possibly get Scribblenauts Unlimited, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, and Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper as well or at a later date.
Reblogged this on Gigable – Tech Blog.

Pingback: Here Are the Wii U Launch Titles | Game Overviews
1 – I never played any Assassin Creed before… because I never played on any other console than Nintendo systyems before. Pre-ordered it.
2 – I never played Mass Effect 1-2-3 for the same reason. Pre-ordered it.
3 – I Have pre-ordered CoD Black ops 2 because of Activision … and Activision made GoldenEye on the Wii .. and Wiimote-Nunchuck control is the best for FPS. I’m sure it will be the same for CoD BO2.
4 – I pre-ordered Batman AC Armored edition for the same reason from 1 and 2.
5 – I pre-ordered New Super Mario Bros U because… i’ts New Super Mario Bros U .. you buy it and shut up.
6 – I pre-ordered Ninja Gaiden 3. Because Team Ninja + Nintendo = win. This version will be a lot bether for sure.
7 – I pre-ordered Zombie-U too. Its an exclusive and from what I saw from all the video review.. this game will not be another Red Steel.
8 – And I took the black Wii-U .. because of Nintendoland. Perfect game to show my friends how the Wii-U gamepad works. All my friends bought a Wii after I let them try it 6 years ago. The same thing will hapen in two months.
