GoNintendo 'End of Day' thought - Has Nintendo's 2013 Wii U lineup sold you on the system?

I've had some hands-on impressions of upcoming first party Wii U/3DS titles for 2013. I'm going to be sharing my thoughts very soon. For now, I'm much more interested in your thoughts! See you in a few, short hours.


Nintendo's E3 2013 presentation has come and gone. While I'm sure there are more secrets just waiting to be uncovered, we have a very good idea of what the next few months look like for the Wii U. Thankfully for Nintendo fans, the Big N is soon starting a Wii U avalanche that includes one big-name first party title a month.

There are indeed some heavy hitters in the pack. I think most of us are looking forward to Super Mario 3D World. There's a big reason that game is close to the holiday season. Of course, there are other big games coming as well. Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, Wii Party U and more will be out before we know it.

As I said, this is great news for those of us that already own a Wii U. We'll have some high quality titles heading our way. I'm sure Nintendo is out to make us happy, but they're even more focused on bringing in more Wii U consumers in general. Lots of people are hanging back from a Wii U purchase for a number of reasons. Nintendo wants to change that this year.

Will the lineup they've unveiled be enough to bring in a new wave of Wii U owners? Iwata himself said that it only takes one big title to change a system's history. The Wii U could certainly use a game like that. Is there a game in this 2013 lineup that will do the trick? Have you seen a game that has convinced you that you'll need a Wii U before the year is out?
