WiiU
First impressions? I'm not bowled over. Once Ninty get their marketing claws into me over the next few months, with videos and decent demonstrations of the hardware and controller I'll be queuing up on launch day like a lot of kids.
I'm just glad that the Gamecube and Wii controllers are compatible.

It's not worth anything without games to play.
Wii didn't exactly have a lot of 'must have' games. Maybe, 5 or 6 at the most.

Right now I'm not planning on taking the plunge
I've had my fingers burnt buying the Gamecube and Wii to then not play them due to a lack of games I like. I suspect this will be the same.

However FPS games on the Wii are amazing to control. Loved every Call of Duty game so far

I'm very excited about this...
I think the name is crap and I'm keen to get an actual look at the specs, but this looks like a nice concept with a ton of potential. I worry about the strategy to try and be all things to all people, the XBox has moved in that direction and found itself in an awkward position. Nonetheless, if Nintendo can genuinely deliver on the promise of more hardcore titles then I'm sold.

Lots of potential
I like the idea of having a second screen on hand for maps, inventories, etc
Hopefully there'll be some decent RPG and Strategy games that can be played from the sofa

I love the fact
You can switch the game to the controller screen and carry on playing. Now I can go for a shit and take it with me!
