Nintendo's Wii U is set to launch on November 18th starting at $299. At first glance, I was very skeptical about this system. Back in the days of the N64, Nintendo was THE gaming company, in my opinion. Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was, and still is, one of the best games ever. When the Wii hit the market, however, it just didn't make as big of an impact. You didn't see too many people that just owned a Wii. Not that it was a bad system, it's just the Xbox 360 and the PS3 had more to offer. More titles, better graphics, and a better online multi-player experience.
But now it seems that Nintendo is ready to get back in the game.(Pun intended)
Just from a visual standpoint the Wii U doesn't appear to be an en-genius console. But the real difference that the Wii U is bringing to the table is the way you play games. Whether you're playing alone, or with friends, the new gamepad brings added functionality. Such has inventories and other essentials right at your fingertips, without having to pause the game.
For me, the most exciting thing that this tablet/controller can do is give you a different point of view for games. According to Nintendo, multiple players can be looking at the exact same game in a completely different way. This, to me, sounds awesome. It just might be what pushes me to buy a Wii U.
But what about you; are you getting a U?
