Nintendo Wii U Thread

Do you also play with non-PlayStation devices? Do you enjoy playing as a plumber saving a princess? Or some bald marines? Or maybe you want to play using the touchscreen?

Hmm..kaya lang aside from the Zombie game, parang wala pa ako nakita na medyo gusto ko. Hindi din kasi ako masyado fan ng Zelda games kaya other than ZombieU, possible Mario launch title lang ang iniisip ko dahilan bumili nito. But if it is indeed true that we might see a possible PS4 sometime between 2013-2014, baka hintayin ko na lang yun kasi ayaw ko din naman mag load ng masyado maraming console. :sweat:
