Buyers Remorse on the WiiU. Borderline Depressing man.

So as im sure the majority of you heard at the last meeting, I had planned on buying the PS4 once paychecks dropped the next day. Sadly, SAU took half of my check for fees I hadn't accounted for. So, to turn a bad situation (I sold my ps3 the night of the meeting to ensure enough funds for the PS4) of having no games to play, I bought a WiiU.
         Now to be fair, I had been wanting to play ZombiU. It is a great game that is an entirely new take on survival horror centering around the (soon to come) zombie apocalypse. However, I cannot sit and play one game alone unless it has a very compelling story. Or if it's minecraft. ZombiU has a curious story but lets be honest, its a Zombie game. You can't do much without turning it into a Fable clone. So I was lucky enough to have bought the Windwaker edition console with the free download of Windwaker HD. You can't go wrong with Zelda right? Right? I can. As a kid all I had was the gamecube and one game. Windwaker. I beat it 47 times. No joke. Its not exaggerated. Its 47. So I got bored.
        Tonight I decided I'd look at all games on the WiiU, released or soon to be. Guess what. The only noteworthy title I came across was Super Smash Bros. And thats not slated for release until a few months from now. So I looked at ones that are out now and all there is is Bayonetta 2, Monster Hunter3, and Ninja Gaiden 3. '-' Not a fan of Monster hunter. Never played Bayonetta 1 and ninja gaiden is a bit too hack and slash for my taste. So now I am sitting in my room at 1:42 a.m. womdering why the hell I bought this thing. So here's my review for the WiiU!

         The wii was a let down. No one can deny that. With one or two good titles, most gamers felt cheated out of their money when the wii never delivered on anything decent. Now the WiiU promised us so much more and even shpwed off a lot of fancy stuff for us to look forward to. Still, most of us ignored Nintendos "next gen" console. I guess that was the gaming community punishing Nintendo for the catastrophe the Wii was. I personally didn't buy into the hype, like any sensible gamer. But the WiiU did catch my attention with ZombiU. I had not made any plans to buy this console for just one game when I was an owner of both an Xbox360 and a Playstation 3 at the time of its launch. Soon Xbox betrayed me, and I became a PS3 fanboy. I was good. Now the PS4 is out amd I was dying to get one. I had the money and SAU took a bit. Oh well right? I figured I'd get a WiiU and swotch to PC gaming when we got money back next semester. So I went to gamestop amd bought the WiiU. '_' The first thing I noticed was the extensive set up process. I figured "Awesome! This foreshadpws a great UI for me to play around with!" Iiiii was wrong. Its just like the 3Ds, which dont get me wrong is good for the 3DS ALONE. This is a console, come on Nintendo what're you thinking. Oh well, it should be faster than the Wii this time. Nope. Its actually slower. I clocked it at 53 seconds to open the settings. I was a bit dissapointed. But hey UI doesnt make a console, its the games. So I popped in ZombiU in my dorm room and got into it. ZombiU wasn't quote what I had hoped but it was still an amazing game. I love the whole aspect of 'if you get swarmed you are going to die'. It was realistic and challenging. But I found it dofficult to focus with me constantly having to look at the gamepad to see what button im hitting. The controller os just too big to handle properly. Especially if youre used to the thinner Playstation controller. It absolutely took away from the gaming experience. I feel like the console has potential but I just can't justify my buying it for $350. It's quite the letdown. So my final verdict on the console, is a 2 out of 5. If the console had sold better and some third party developers had got with it amd given the console a bigger library to choose from, it may be a 3. But with a slow OS and a wonky oversized controller that mah as well be the tablet im writing this with, the hardware and software are just dissapointing.

Feel free to comment and tell me im being a picky little douche, but I think I deserve what I paid for. :/
