Not really the Wii U's problem is that its demographic at this point is hardcore nintendo fans who are willing to buy a console for the next mario and zelda no matter what and ultra hardcore gamers who buy every console on principle...... It doesn't have the regular gamers who just want to buy a single console and expect access to a wide variety of games from a variety of developers and it doesn't have the casual crowd that made the original Wii a success either......

what 3DS has going for it its awesome third party support, the third party support is so great it can make up for all Nintendo screws ups (games tied to console, region lock, ect)..... the fact that its cheaper to develop for allows it to have third party exclusives which are just not viable in other platforms

@Jowy

You do know this is a complete separate genre? this is a 2D beat em up, not a 1 on 1 fighter..... It's like streets of rage or final fight, not like street fighter or tekken.... that's why I like 2D Beat'em ups is a genre that has been lackign quality entries as of late, if it was a 1 on 1 fighter I wouldn't care because as you mention there is no shortage of quality entries in that genre

if they want to do cross buy or vc being multiplat (which is two different things) that's good but its up to then......but having you lose hundreds of dollar on digital games only because your system stopped working is just a violation of consumer rights and unaceptable (yah I know if you are in a major market you can send your console back to nintendo but what about those of us who aren't)

@Action51

They don't like Nintendo but those are not the reasons the reasons are:

1. Stood by Power PC when developers wanted all consoles to switch to X86 to make multi-plat development cheaper.

2. Underpowered, not powerful enough to bring PS3/360 games by brute force requiring actual porting work and not powerful enough to port Xbone/ps4 games

3. A user based comprised primarily of Nintendo hardcore fans who don't seem to like buying games not by Nintendo.

@edhe I've noticed handhelds are more popular with girls and women than with men.. reason 3DS and Vita are not really pocket friendly but they fit perfectly in purse...

Now the problem is not that they are marketing to girls that's a good idea... the problem is the way they are going about it, which is so stereotypical is likely to be more alienating to female gamers than effective

@MrPKDolphin

Those two are incompatible, If Nintendo wants third party support they would need to change to the X86 architecture and sacrifice backwards compatibility, that's what Sony and MIcrosoft did they would have liked to have backwards compatibility but developers wanted consoles to be all X86 so it would be cheaper to do mulltiplat games....... if one of the two had chosen backwards compatibiilty over x86 they would be in trouble right now
