Why 2015 is the Year You Shouldn't Buy a Wii U

*Copypasta first four paragraphs from previous post*

However, the system has some, shall we say, quirks and Nintendo's practices from the last generation have come back to bite them hard.

This post will look at the various reasons why you shouldn't slap an indeterminate amount of monies on Nintendo's current generation release and perhaps stick with your old console...or new console...or a gaming PC.

Why 2015 is the Year You Should Buy a Wii U

Haha, the Wii U. Look at it, with it's second screen, it's lack of graphical prowess, it's a last generation console that thinks it's a current generation console. How we laughed when the shovelware reared it's head in the form of NintendoLand , how companies dropped support when they realised selling 3rd party titles simply didn't happen and how the everything was falling apart at the house of Mario.

I've given Nintendo's black or white box of tricks and tablet controller a hard-time in private, although on the blog, it's mostly boiled down to how little an appearance the console has made on my E3 posts since it's inception.

However, like the monstrous hypocrite I am and like every console generation I've been alive for, I always end up coming around, although it took far less persuasion than the Wii.

Assassin's Creed 3 Review

Something has been wrong with Assassin’s Creed for too long. I couldn’t quite put my finger on what, but it was definitely something. It certainly wasn’t what plagued the first game; a glorified tech demo with linear mission structures paired with a somewhat interesting story.

It certainly wasn’t its sequel which improved on virtually everything in the original, replacing linearity with spontaneity, creating a protagonist players would want to see grow and develop.

You could say it’s partially down to Brotherhood; ACII’s sequel entering the fray a year later, beginning a trend of perhaps milking the franchise a bit too much. Sure, it added a leadership mechanic, a chance to watch Ezio develop a guild of Assassin’s to liberate Renaissance Rome and continuing on from the cliffhanger ending from the previous game.

No, Brotherhood did indeed add a certain component that not only stuck with Revelations; ACII’s second sequel which not only completed Ezio’s story, but added a completely unnecessary multiplayer mode, but also appeared in the recently released Assassin’s Creed III.
