Oh, it'll always be the exclusives, but that's the problem here, there's only one Nintendo-made exclusive on the way so far. At this point, there should certainly be more. Even if they announce more at E3, it most likely wouldn't get released until 2014, meaning they'll have little or nothing at all for this whole…

Absolutely. I'll always love them for the experiences that they provided throughout my childhood, but they're just not cutting it at all in the modern market. I ended up buying a Wii but it's never been used outside of Mario Kart when the extended family show up, and there's absolutely no reason for me to get a Wii U,…

Oh man, that picture just shows proves beyond any doubt that there's really no reason at all to buy a Wii U, the amount of red crosses in that multi-platform column just shows that Nintendo have once again failed to grab any hint of lasting third-party support, and the fact that Pikmin 3 is their only real first-party…

You're not wrong, I was just saying the same thing myself a few days ago. It's bad enough that Nintendo don't even have any first-party games on the way outside of Pikmin 3, but you look at the multi-platform releases and the Wii U is just missing all of the big ones; MGR: Revengeance, Tomb Raider, GTA5, Dead Space 3,…

That's a problem in itself; "A lot of the best games on the Wii U....Are available on every other platform anyway."

Oh, absolutely! I bought a PS3 at launch, and a Vita back in March, and I paid attention last year (well, 2011, it'll take some weeks to adjust to that. >_<) when the world shot down the 3DS for "HAVING NO GAMES!", so I'm perfectly aware that most first years are pretty shitty in terms of software support, and that's…

So many reasons? There's only two: it was cheaper than all the competition, and it attracted a crowd that didn't even give a shit about games with the Wii Remote and the likes of Wii Fit and Wii Sports. Sure, every household within my family may've bought a Wii, but only one of them has been turned on in the last two…

Oh, Nintendo will do just fine, the Wii U will never repeat the success of the Wii, but it'll still do just fine, even if its closer to N64/Gamecube numbers again this time around. They're certainly not in a great position; the Wii was only ever successful because its gimmick and price tag attracted an audience that…

I'll agree with you there; when Microsoft let some of their 360 exclusives end up on the PC, they took away a lot of the appeal, there's not a whole lot of reason left to own a 360 outside of "All my friends have one so it's the only way to play online with them," which is a shame, because a few years ago it was…

I'm not really surprised by this. There's a few girls that I work with, as well as friends from other areas of my life, that are addicted to the CoDs and WoWs of the world, but you'd never know because they hide it until they realise that you're into all of that as well, at which point in comes out with a mixture of…

This list pretty much sums up why I have no interest in the Wii U at all; its best games have all been available elsewhere for a long time already, and its few exclusives are certainly aimed at younger audiences. Plus, moving forward, it's not getting any third-party support anyway; Tomb Raider, Bioshock Infinite,…

A retard? Well, congratulations on your breach of Kotaku's rules, good Sir! I honestly don't see what point you're trying to make, is it that there's more than just the three King George DLC episodes? Of course there will be, but so far it's just been the pre-order DLC that everyone's familiar with, and moving forward…

I'm honestly not too worried about this. Throughout this generation, Sony are the only platform-holder that haven't abandoned their hardcore audience in favour of the more casual market, which is precisely what Microsoft and Nintendo did. Sure, Sony released the Move controller and the Wonderbook, but did they stop…

Well, that sure sounds dreadful. Recycled maps are bad enough, but it's the silent protagonist that ensures that I won't be bothering with this one. That's one of my biggest pet-hates regarding games, and I can't think of a worse genre for it to appear in than a JRPG.

Well, my girlfriend's happy. She just called me all "Steam have a big sale on, what do I buy?!" and after lots of discussion, she picked up Borderlands GOTY and Arkham City GOTY for under a tenner. She's pretty chuffed, and so am I, as hopefully now she'll play something other than Skyrim!

I just saw the trailer over on Destructoid, and, well, I can't say I'm surprised, but this is certainly going to be the first Final Fantasy game that I don't buy on day one, or at all, quite possibly. It shouldn't even have Final Fantasy in the title anymore, because that's just not what it is anymore.

You'd think so, but no. Everything was fine until she started a Windows Update that crashed halfway and refused to finish, after that, everything ran painfully slow and most applications refused to open at all. It even became impossible to use any of Windows' System Restore features because they'd also freeze halfway…

Thank you very much. :) Yeah, I told her a desktop would've been better and cheaper, but given the way things are with her situation it wasn't really a valid option, she had to go with a laptop. But it's okay, because everything's working as it should do now and last night she broke off our phone call so she could…

Oh man, Nintendo are going to need some aloe vera for that one.

Oh, absolutely. There's going to be the occasional hardware failure no matter what you're running. I've had a PS3 die on me myself, but outside of that, I've had a pretty great run. I still have a working NES, SNES, PS1, PS2, Gameboy, DS, MegaDrive, N64, Gamecube, etc, so I've had it pretty good so far! It's not…
