AnimalMother117: Xenoblade is one of my favorite games of the last gen and it is largely due to the plot and the way it's told, but the gameplay and the way everything comes together also contributed to this. I am rather excited for this game.
Oh, and I have a Wii U, I love it, but I probably would not have gotten it without this game's announcement.
This paraphrased sentiment pretty much echoes my thoughts. I would have eventually gotten a Wii U regardless due to Mario Kart, but the simple announcement of X pushed me into getting it earlier than anticipated. Fortunately I don't have buyer's remorse due to Nintendo putting out a lot of solid titles on the platform.
I cannot begin to describe how useful the 2nd screen functionality has proven to be than my original expectation. It's one of those things you need to experience to understand. The system isn't perfect as there are several minor (configuration settings) issues they could have addressed to make it work better for certain types of environments. That said, my only real complaint is the heavy handed (false positives) nature of their Miiverse social network.
