It's quite clear to me now, nintendo don't listen to what their customers want and they don't seem to care! They are too busy trying to find some other new customer base to tap into just like they were with the blue ocean approach and now the health and lifestyle thing they are talking about. The hardcore fans base on nintendo seems to be getting smaller and smaller and after zelda u I will be another one to leave forever!
It looks like everything else nintendo have been churning out recently, I'm sur there's a market for it especially on the 3ds but something other than a 2d platformer would be nice once in a while.
I bet playstation will still be supporting the ps3 online for the next five years. I'm a huge nintendo fan but we all need to realise that they are so far behind the rest when it comes to online. If things don't change they won't last another generation.
@OGGamer @Tony_342 every game that was already released on the wii VC should have been released on the wii u VC day one! Nintendo are a joke and by the time they start releasing n64 games the wii u will be dead!
I remember when nintendo said there would be two updates for the wii u to increasing loading times. We only ever got one but load times are still quite slow.
9 stores is that it I live in the south west so the nearest one to me will be Portsmouth which is a very close 145 miles. Seems like a bot of a non story for most people.
Oh dear! So much for first party titles saving the wii u, maybe nintendo will have better luck at the end of May when they release mario Kart. But I very much doubt it anymore.
@MrPKDolphin the replacement for the wii u can't be on 5-6 years time, it needs to be in two years max! If nintendo wait another 5 years to release a follow up the brand will be nearly dead.
Wii u was and is (so far) the worst purchase I have ever made! Day one I bought this console just to be let down constantly by nintendo! Never again, some won't like hearing this on a fan site but many many nintendo fans have said enough is enough.
There's a lot of very good gba games about so this is good news, but why can't nintendo work harder on bringing n64 or game cube to the VC? It seems all we'll ever get is 2d games on VC.
The wii u is a very good console that I'm happy with, but it is also the worst marketed console I can ever remember. I think it we be much like the game cube in sales and games released on the system. Also three to four year life span.
@MysticX I don't know what's next but one things for sure until Nintendo release a console that gets big third party support I won't be buying one again!
@readyletsgo me too, I've bought every nintendo console for 25 years but no more. It's been nowhere near good enough from nintendo, I will buy mario kart and zelda (probably in 2015) and then I'm done.
Surely it should bet choice how I choose to play games? My wife works different hours to me and we have no kids. Just another reason nintendo are so far behind everyone else.
Nintendo can sell 20-30million consoles every generation just because of their games. As long as they keep making games like 3d world things will be fine.
25 million could be about right. But if sales don't pick up by this Time next year nintendo will be frantically tyring to build a new console, which would mean wii u would only last 3-4 years tops.
Too little too late? Maybe, on this very page I'm looking at Xbox one adverts every night I see 4 or 5 adds for the other two systems and none for nintendo. It's only 5 weeks until Christmas
I've supported nintendo for 20 years, but they are so far behind the times now it's become a joke! I can no longer say that I have full confidence in nintendo. Until things change at board level things won't change. I will still always live nintendo and buy their consoles but I'll only buy three or four games on each console. It's time for a real shake up.
Only a year late! Never mind nintendo, just forget about all the suckers that bought the system this time last year. To little to late, I'll be buying a ps4 in the new year.
Nintendo are so far behind the times it's becoming a joke! I've bought every nintendo console on day one since the mid 90s. But wii u will be my last unless Nintendo change.
Nes and snes! No mention of n64 or GameCube! I get so angry with nintendo sometimes. Not many people want to play games from 1985 and pay £3 for them. Let's face it the VC has been rubbish so far.
