    I have no remorse for those unable to obtain a Wii U from this point onward. There was plenty of reason to buy one before, and as the NX approaches, there is lesser reason to buy one now.

    In the year 2014 alone, Super Smash bros U, Mario Kart 8, Bayonetta 2, Super Mario 3D world, Pikmin 3, The Wonderful 101, and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze.

    I will spare those who wished to but simply could not afford to.

    How is it that it has shortages when the console isnt selling that well in the first place? Someone in R&D must had gotten fired months ago. Why is it Sony knows how to meet demand but not Nintendo….that’s stupid.

      Luckily, my fun with the Wii U peaked in the middle of 2015 which is why I eventually got the PS4 in November. That & I was hoping Nintendo Account would allow me to bypass the bogus system transfer they have in place on the Wii U. Sadly, that doesn’t seem the case so all of my save data is stuck on an older Wii U model. In fact, I need to pull it back out & see if I can get the damn thing to come on. If I can, I can just take the Gamepad I got with the refurbished Wii U & attach it to that old Wii U. Which will suck cuz that means I paid 200 bucks simply just so I could get a brand new Gamepad. :/ So much for waiting for March 2016 to come so I could use the new account system with cloud saving & what not. If Nintendo fails again for whatever reason when the NX releases, I’m done buying Nintendo consoles brand new & I’ll just wait til I can buy one used.
