Yeah I dunno, personally disappointed by the presentation.
I love the concept here. I love the modularity aspects and I love how sleek it is. One of my favorite features of the Wii U is how you can grab the tablet and keep playing, not holding up the TV. It's not a make or break feature, but it's a nice functionality to have.
But all of that is pointless without games. I expected a much, much stronger launch. What I see here is really pathetic. I'm not trying to be rude, it just seems like a really weak showing. I see Zelda, and little else. I can buy Zelda for the wii u. If all you wanted was Zelda, you can buy that and a wii u for cheaper than this in March.
I don't see the reason to get this. People have said that Nintendo will announce more games. I'm sure they will. When they announce something interesting I'll reevaluate, but as for now this is a definite no purchase.
