Highly Offensive
In regards to Fatal Frame, there was a 3DS one that made it over here that made use of some book or something that came with the packaging. Heard it was decent. Came out in early 2012. It's probably hard to track down at this point.
I honestly think if people genuinely wanted Fatal Frame Wii U to make it over they would have looked into the 3DS game. Not sure how small or big the fanbase of that series is here in the US, though.

Spirit Camera was a pretty bad spin-off apparently. I'm sure that's the reasoning they'll go for if they don't bring it over, but realistically, people don't want to buy s**t.

I love my Wii U, I've only got like 10 games for it (including downloads), but most of those games are extremely detailed and super fun.
I wish they had more 1st party games released closer together, but I can't complain to much.
I also really appreciate the game pads ability to remote play.

With amiibos on the rise, I'm quite pleased to destroy my wallet.
More importantly, no one's hype about mario party 10. You get to rage in beautiful HD.

It was actually really good, probably the best AR game I've ever played, people just compare it to the wrong things. It's not a Fatal Frame game, and if you want the plot and setting you won't get it here... But that doesn't make it bad.
The biggest problem with the game is it needs the right setting, like a dark, preferably abandoned, house, and you need a torch (flashlight) to view the book... Most people, particularly reviewers, played it in a bright room and wondered why it wasn't vvery creepy...
As a Fatal Frame game it's certainly not great, but as an AR game it's fantastic... But most people have no interest in AR games... And thus most people didn't buy it.

Glad that you got your money's worth
My mother does not want to put as much money in gifts for my birthday, so it doesn't look like I'm getting one any soon. I'll have my monthly allowance saved up to buy it later, and in the meantime I can still have my mother pre-order Hyrule Warriors right now.

Since you're on this site I presume that you'll want to own a Wii U by the time that Super Smash Bros. gets released?

It could be true. The thing is, unless all Virtual Console titles are HD ports of their original games, I can't think of any previous gen game on a Nintendo hardware that was HD, let alone 1080p.
It could be remastering like games released on 360's Arcade, such as Symphony of the Night.

Notch, creator of Minecraft, "jokes" about the WiiU.
Here's a link for reference: http://www.gamnesia.com/news/minecrafts-creator-jokes-that-wii-u-only-has-two-games#.U--emfldWb8
What are everyone else's opinions?
I personally believe that it is very unprofessional...

Notch is very unprofessional.
Heck his claim to fame is a game that he released to the paying public atleast a decade shy of completion...
Pay him no attention.

The video games industry in general is very unprofessional.
Case and point, this article about this article on games radar about the Vita: http://www.gamesradar.com/13-ways-gamescom-proves-vitas-future-brighter-ever/
Let me save you twenty minutes and sum it up: "LAWL VITA HAZ NO GAEMZ IF U LIEK JAPANESE GAMES AND VNS UR A LOSER WHO READS LOLOLOLOL"
Seriously, it feels like it was written by a fourteen year old. This is why nobody takes the games industry seriously.

To be fair PSVita is pretty ****ty. Currently it's a paper weight, sure it displays in 1080i (Why the **** isn't it P?) but most of the games aren't any different then what you'd play on PS3, it's a bunch of ports, not to mention the memory card prices are ****ed up too and the whole thing is just a mess.
Nintendo 3DS is distinguished from the handheld wannabe known as PSVita. The games are very different from what you'd find on Wii and Wii U and are fun to play, sure it only displays in 240p (Makes no sense because this is the HD Age) but the games are actually games and not a bunch of ports. We have Super Mario 3D Land, Legend of Zelda Link between Worlds, Shin Megami Tensei 4, Shin Megami Tensei Devil Survivor Overclocked, tons of wonderful games. I can't think of one game on PSVita that's remotely interesting aside from Gravity Rush.

Freedom Wars is good... Though it should be a home console game...
Danganronpa I guess...
Other than that the only games worth a Damn are enhanced ports (Atelier and Muramasa are the ones that stand out) and Visual Novels... (though I did also enjoy sorcery saga).

I'm not trying to defend the Vita. Actually, I don't really care much for handhelds in general. The only reason why I own a 3DS is because many of my favorite series like Pokemon, Fire Emblem, Casltevania and more recently, SMT are all on handhelds with only a few console releases.
The point is said article is horribly unprofessional. There's nothing wrong with writing an analysis article discussing why the Vita is struggling to find a market. Discussing how the console relies on reaching out to niche markets is one thing, going as far as saying (and I quote), "Nothing quite says 'video games' like reading reading 40 hours of text (. . .) games like Danganropa and Virtues Last Reward feature hot reading action. You'll be tasked with expertly pressing X buttons hundreds--nay, thousands-- of times," is another.
Or how about this gem regarding what the Vita's utilities, "The Darkness aint got **** on the Vita's impressively bright screen. Just tun that sucker on and you'll be able to move through inky blackness with ease."
I get that it's satire, but Jesus Christ the prevalence of this sort of thing is why nobody takes us seriously. It's one thing if it was a teenager who wrote that article, but for something written by an adult who makes a living doing that, it's just sad.

Someone finally gets it!
We have a Wii U because we want certain types of games, and Ubisoft produces plenty of those types of games (Rabbids, Just Dance, Rayman Legends, Child of Light), and this news shows they're actually going to focus on those games for the Wii U rather than wasting those development teams making shoddy ports to the console... Hopefully this means we'll get more Rayman games, and they'll actually grow the balls to keep them exclusive this time!
A lot of media sites are calling this a negative (it's about Nintendo, so of course they are), but I have to say, to me this is great news!

I like the the Wii U, but I don't see it being my main console, I haven't seen a Nintendo console being my main since N64, they're more like a side dish that goes with the main course (PS2, 360, PS3). Think of Nintendo consoles as the Uncle that visits from time to time. He can be pretty lame at times, but other times he's badass and gives you great presents/Games!
Now why did I buy Wii U before PS4? It's half the price of PS4.

So. . . Here is the official Japanese box art of Fatal Frame: The Black Haired Shrine Maiden for Wii U. I have to say, not only is it looking gorgeous, but it's now making me want the game even more! ;w; Although we do at least have some signs of an international release (North America, if I were to selfishly speak), I'd still want to have confirmation sooner rather than later (not to mention that the Wii U seems to be missing out on the upcoming horror games announced thus far; Resident Evil Remake Remaster, The Evil Within, etc.). . . Perhaps at TGS?

Oh my god, that looks amazing!
Seriously though, Fatal Frame and Dragon Quest X are both more hype than Smash Bros for me.

We're not getting the game. We didn't get Fatal Frame 4, we didn't get the Fatal Frame 2 remake. End of discussion, there is nothing to discuss about whether we're getting this or not, the only reason we're getting Bayonetta 2 is because we got lucky. We're not getting Fatal Frame. Europe might get it because they got the remake, but guess which country has the biggest market for games? Uncle Sam, take it away!

And yet you only bought a third more than us Europeans...
We didn't get 4 because the control scheme wasn't very good, this one won't have that problem.
We're not getting it. I'm not going to participate in this potential flame war, all I'm going to say is: WE'RE NOT GETTING IT.

I thought that we were getting Bayonetta 2 because the first game sold surprisingly well over here. Nothing to do with luck.
Bayonetta 2 didn't sell very well, it's why Sega didn't want to publish a sequel.

Si. Anyway, how do you think Smash 4 will affect Wii U?
Edit: After realizing the bet was serious, I pulled my offer. I don't have that kind of money, especially after dropping $225 on a Wii U

You're on! No backing out now
Personally not that well. I think the 3DS version is going to loose momentum very quickly because of it's lack of viable competitive stages and the competition of P:M, so the game's not going to hold the momentum needed to take it through to the Wii U. The sales will be good, but not MK8 levels, and far fewer people will buy the Wii U for it.
In all it will go down as a failure, and the Wii U will trudge along in a quiet second place producing great games that sell well enough to produce a profit (especially when they'r not giving away free games with them *cough*Mario Kart 8*cough*) but never getting huge success.

I don't think that Smash 4 is going to bring the Wii U the level of success that Nintendo is hoping for. Sure, it will move a few consoles, maybe more than MK8, but it's not going to be the Uncharted 2 of the Wii U. Chances are most people are going to wait for their buddies to get it and just play it at their house.
I do think that the 3DS version will end up selling better. I can't speak for competitive viability but I'm sure everyone is going to have a goddamn aneurysm because it isn't Melee 2.0.

It'll sell well, but it won't move a ton of units to the point where the Wii U becomes relevant to the media.
Don't be so sure, Bill Trinen retweeted this:
https://twitter.com/Nintendo/status/489654619379732480
and this:
https://twitter.com/jeansnow/status/489676872104411137
and Spirit Camera was just a spinoff.
First one is an announcement and a link to its site by Nintendo, and the second one is in English and contains the trailer for the game.
