Yahtzee has made it clear that he's not a fan of the Wii U. He doesn't like the system's 'gimmicks', so he says. You know, the negative gut reaction that much of the internet always has with Nintendo platforms. The thing is, at least Yahtzee is open to still trying experiences on the platform. It seems that sitting down with the system and actually using it is forcing Yahtzee to rethink his stance.

I'm still not impressed by blatant gimmickery - although I'm not as sniffy about the controller as I was about that of the Wii U's predecessor, complaints about battery life notwithstanding - and there's this weird insular nature about Nintendo and its jealously hoarded IP combined with the stark whiteness and gentle soundscape that remind me of an alien sterilisation cult. It's like the beginner's guide to becoming a Mac user. And yet (here we go again), there's definitely something about it I find comforting, like a big woolly sweater with built-in blinkers. Maybe because it's the only major next-gen console that seems content to, mainly, just be a games machine.

That's just part of Yahtzee's latest feature. Check out the full thing here
