Yeah, Beelze and I have been chatting about it for the last week I think. I didn't make a snap judgement on the Wii U, I actually started considering it last weekend and told Ian that if I didn't talk myself out of it by Thursday, I'd pick one up after work. I still strongly dislike Ninty, but more for their decisions than anything.... and even I can't deny that they can still make a fun game - rehash or not.
Yeah, I wouldn't say that the Wii U is moving loads of units or anything, since there are literally shit tons of the deluxe systems in stores, but that MK8 bundle was probably a hair under produced and in all fairness it was a good deal. $330 - deluxe system, MK8, plus another freebie game, and also a wii mote plus. That would have been a boon for me since I don't have a Wii, but oh well - I doubt I'll be needing the wiimote anyway.
Still, with all the shit I got today I only spent about $550 - that's a system and technically 6 AAA titles. I don't think there's really any tears to be shed here.
