Nintendo have six months to save the wii u, if sales haven't dramatically increased by the time mario 3d, mario kart, ssb, wii fit u, wii part u and donkey kong have been released then there would be no saving the wii u. I'm still loving mine but it's depressing how bad things are at the moment.
The biggest problem will still be the lack of games released before Christmas, every game apart from 3d mario is for the casual audience. I don't see wii fit u or wii party u convincing many people to buy a console. Mario kart, donkey kong and ssb should all be available by now. By the time they are released the damage could already be done.
It's stupid to ignore on-line multi player! Why should nintendo dictate to me that I have to play this game with people in the room? As I get older it gets increasingly difficult for me to spend time with friends. Stupid old fashioned policy that needs to change ASAP before it's too late.
We won't see game cube in the VC! Let's face it we're still waiting for N64 games in the VC, a whole year the wii u has been on the market and they've hardly realeaed anything worth buying on the VC.
There should be two zelda games on every console, one near the beginning if the console release and one near the end. By the time this zelda wii u comes out the u will be over three years old! That is not good enough!
The only VC snes game I want is super mario kart! And when are we going to get some n64 games? I bought my wii u on day one, can't believe I'm still waiting nearly a year later for n64 games.
I don't mean to be down beat, but if metroid has not been started yet then by the time it's released the wii u will be long dead!
Nintendo need to get a grip and start to release the games that the core fans want, Zelda 2015 & metroid 2015-2016 is not good enough. What happened to the wii u was going to be the system for core fans. What a joke!
I will never buy nintendo on launch day again! I'll just wait until they actually release something or get third party support (never).
I buy one console every generation, without doubt I would buy this on wii u. Nintendo should do everything in their power to get games like this in their systems it they want to attract the more hardcore gamer. I personaly feel like nintendo lied to us all when they said that they would have major third party support for the U.
It's missing out on games like this and the last of us! That make me hate being a nintendo owner. Next gen I'm just going to buy nintendo when zelda is released not a minute before.
Is this article supposed to make us forget that we own a system that no one supports with the AAA games. I'm fed up with missing out in games like GTA because Nintendo can't pull in the big publishers.
The next six months are huge for the wii u, if they can't sell it over the holiday period the system will struggle. I hope for loads of TV adds to drive up the awareness of the general public. Mario Kart not being or smash not being released before Christmas is a massive mistake in my book.
I just want nintendo to open a new studio that produces games of the more mature variety, games like halo or the last of us. If they did start bringing games out like that along with their family friendly IP's they wouldn't have to rely on third party's. and we all know nintendo would do these games better than anyone else.
Why don't nintendo open a studio to just make its own range of mature content? They have the creativity, I'm sure they could bing out a range of games that could go head to head with Halo and CoD. If they made these types of games they could probably do it better than whats already on the market. Add that to the libary of games they already have and nintendo wouldn't need to really on third party's
I'm not going to miss out on games like the last of us. Nintendo have never done enough to get the mature games, if we got games like GTA I would never buy a second console. But for some reason they've always had terrible third party support.
Another game I won't be buying! If you don't give wii u the same treatment as the rest I will not but the game. These company's will complain when it doesn't sell very well. What a joke
It's unbelievable that we are already talking about the wii u as a failure. It's less than a year old. If Nintendo do go on to make a replacement for the wii u it won't we out for at least 3 years (that's how long it takes to develop new hardware)
