I have been a Nintendo fan since I was five, maybe even
before that, I can’t remember. I do remember
fighting my little sister over the 12-inch black and white t.v. my grandmother
gave us to play Super Mario Brothers on the old Nintendo Entertainment System,
NES for short.
When I saw,
(almost 18 years later), that Nintendo was releasing their new Wii U December
2012, I couldn’t contain my excitement. Not only does it mean I get to try out
a new system, but it also means a whole new round of my favorite games will be
following shortly behind. I have owned a Wii for 4 years now, so it’s needless
to say I have played all the games I want to and am ready for new ones.
The only
thing I am skeptical of is that the article says Nintendo hasn’t released
important details, such as price. Who knows if it’s going to be $300 or $600,
and believe me that is a huge detail that will decide whether I buy the Wii U
right away or not. As the article points
out, the longer a console is around, the cheaper it is. The DS went from $250
to $170 and that is a large chunk of money. The same would logically go with
the U, if they open it a huge price, I will probably wait a couple months to
make my purchase.
Also, Nintendo
has a reputation of setting a release date, then extending it until a
questionable date, which could be up to a year later. So although I am excited
for a new console from Nintendo, I won’t get my hopes up or sell my Wii just
yet.
