1. The Wii U is "too childish"
This one is just ridiculous, yet it is used time and time again against Nintendo. Yes, some of Nintendo's franchises could be deemed a little "childish", but this doesn't mean they are any less of a great game just because they look or feel childish. Also, Wii U has plenty of game offerings for the self-spoken "mature" crowd, with titles like Assassin's Creed, Call of Duty, and Watch Dogs. Which brings me to my next point...
2. The Wii U has "terrible graphics"
Another dumb complaint that can easily be addressed. Wii U can run 1080p and 60 frames per second. A game can look great on Wii U, and that's a fact. Recently, I was at a friend's house watching him play InFamous: Second Son on the mighty PlayStation 4. And guess what? It was just as visually impressive as Wii U titles like Super Mario 3D World and Pikmin 3. They looked the same. Because they are the same.
3. The Wii U "doesn't have good games"
First of all, yes it does. With critically-acclaimed titles like Super Mario 3D World to other popular games like Pikmin 3, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, and the entire Virtual Console, there are plenty of games to choose from for your Wii U. Secondly, look who's talking! What do PS4 and XBOX One have for good exclusives? InFamous? Dead Rising? So far, Wii U has the highest ratings on their exclusives than XBOX One or PS4.
And, on a concluding note, I would like to leave you with some reasons to get the Wii U over its competitors.
- Wii U is the cheapest console by far, with some being sold at just $99
- Wii U is the only console with a console-exclusive social network
- Wii U has the greatest future line-up with titles such as Mario Kart 8 and Smash Bros. coming in the near future
- Wii U has backwards compatibility
- Wii U supports the use of its predecessor's controllers
What else do you need to convince you? Get a Wii U soon and find me on Miiverse! (explosiveduck98)
