So far the Wii U sounds like a very promising, innovative console and for many it has become a must  buy, but I know for me there are few doubts.  The Wii itself released with a strong start and had a few titles backing up its’ release; however, as the years went by the console started losing popularity due to the fact that many of the titles they were releasing were small titles or remakes of previous games.  For me I fear that the Wii U will suffer the same fate and end up in a box, to never be played again, but I truly hope that this does not turn out to be the case.

The Wii U releases on November 28th in America and then November 30th in Europe; costing $299.99 for the basic 8GB console and then $349.99 for the 32GB black console packaged with Nintendo Land.

So how do you guys feel about the Wii U?  Is it going to be worth the hefty price tag or is it a console that you can pass up?
