"We WiiU owners wanted the NEW games that were coming to the ps360 in 2012/13 not ports of old games with less content."

Why on earth would developers waste time or money developing titles for the Wii U, with its 5 million or so owners at that time, when they could make games for the 360 and PS3 who had a combined 160 million owners?

There's is no logical reason.

Especially when, as you said, many people already owned a PS3/360 anyway.

@arnoldlayne83

Ya I don't understand this guy either. I'd rather have a system with an over abundance of games, some of which I may not always want to play, rather than a console that only has one installment of a series and then leaves me hanging for 5-6 years before I can play another.

He also seems to consider each Nintendo 2D platformer which features a different main character (Kirby, yoshi, DK, Mario, Luigi, Rayman, etc) as a completely new and unique experience, while lumping together games like Last of Us, Tomb Raider, Batman and Gears of War as 'third person shooters' and dismissing them all as being the same kind of game..

People like this are unwilling to change their beliefs and don't even want to try playing different games, so there is no reason in engaging in a debate with them.

@Malakai

"Whats up with blaming the customers for the lack of sales. All that mean is the software isn't compelling in the first place..."

No, it just means that people who generally buy Nintendo consoles do not like the types of games that other developers produce. For example, see the post from the dude above my previous one. He only enjoys rainbow-colored games featuring children's cartoon characters and doesn't like anything else.

@Sean_Aaron

"As long as the big "AAA" publishers keep relying upon endless franchise entries and similarly-themed games I'm not buying their stuff"

I hope the irony doesn't escape you when you are playing the latest Star Fox game or the dozens of other retreads on Nintendo. Good lord...

There are great games available on all the consoles. I don't understand how someone's tastes can be so narrow as to only believe that Nintendo games are of any worth.

The gamepad was fine for Zombi U because the game was pretty slow paced and didn't require fast movements. I couldn't imagine playing a fast paced action game like Bayonetta while using it though.

@LztheQuack

Respek

Also, buying a bad game just to "support the team" doesn't really help the cause. Just buy a game because you like it and want to play it, not out of some sense of guilt or duty.

@VeeFlamesNL

The video I posted shows the framerate was running at 20fps during sea battles/sailing, which make up a large portion of the game. Sure it's still playable, but it is jarring and annoying (especially when many people on here mock PS4/Xbox games for sometimes being locked to 30fps).

Devils Third has slowdown as well apparently, but people seem unwilling to overlook this fact when it comes to this game though. The game still looks playable (frame rate wise at least) during those firefights which slow the action on screen though.

@DiscoGentleman

You might be the King of Butts, but your ability to visually determine the resolution and frame rate of games is lacking when compared to the facts Digital Foundry lays out. You were proven wrong. Deal with it.

@kensredemption

That's not being very festive.

@TheRealThanos

Not true at all.

Many people have either fragments or entire bullets left in their bodies after getting shot. Sometimes removing them is more risky and can cause more damage than just leaving them in there. Ideally it's something that you would rather not have left in your body if you had the choice, but leaving them in, depending on the situation, isn't always a bad choice.

@Faruko

Merely making the point that some people are willing to overlook frame rate slowdown, depending on the game

Am I correct in assuming those tutorial button prompts are able to be turned off?

@Luna_110

Watch the Windwaker video I posted. The frame rate was 20fps at sea. It's undeniable.

It's not my copy, it's all copies. If you can't see the difference, maybe you wouldn't notice any problems with Devil's Third either.

@DiscoGentleman

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-hands-on-with-bayonetta-2

It's neither 1080p (it's 720p) nor is it locked at 60fps (it's 40fps much of the time).

Stop exaggerating the "visuals" talk.

@Luna_110

Then you aren't very perceptive. Hop in the boat and try battling enemies or sail through a storm and the frame rate drops by half. It's horrible, and it happens often.

@VeeFlamesNL

The point is that any time you were in combat or a storm in Windwaker HD, the game suffered horrendous frame rate slowdown. How this managed to slip under Nintendo's radar without being fixed is beyond me.

Thank god Nintendo has never made/published a game before that suffers from horrible frame rate issues

@MadAdam81

Or maybe Unseen64 was right all along, and you are just doing mental gymnastics to support your belief that he was wrong about everything?

Thanks Obama!

@Mr_Nose

LOL!

I think a better name for this establishment would be "The House of Sausage"

@allav866

Who are you today?

Just curious to find out what a middle aged Japanese business man could inspire you to become. Did you become an American high school student? Or are you now a CEO?

Wow, bummer. Seemed like a good dude.

Not totally shocking though as he was obviously very ill due to his rapid weight loss.

"When Nintendo of America tweets a link to a TV news segment, we're normally inclined to shrug it off. "

HAHAHA WHAT?!!

I'm pretty sure you guys posted an entire article based around the fact some reporter referred to a 3DS as a 'Gameboy' in a newspaper one time.

@DESS-M-8

Don't worry. I have a source who told me that the reason third party games aren't coming to the Wii U is because those studios are already busy secretly designing games for the NX.

I think once it launches, there will be an incredible amount of third party titles available for it on day one.

It's not the size of the boat, it's the motion of the ocean

@JohnyVang1982

Nintendo also said that 'third parties liked the Wii U'

Only an absolute moron believes anything this company says anymore.

@Mommar

Ignoring the fact that the Gamecube was the lone system that could not read or play DVD's.

Nintendo is always behind the ball.

@Moshugan

"If Nintendo made a console that is as powerful as the other two, and gave it a regular gamepad, they would not succeed. People would have no reason to buy a Nintendo console over the more established competitors, save for a few Ninty exclusives."

Sorry, but the only reason 10 million people bought a Wii U is to PLAY NINTENDO GAMES. The games are selling people on the system, not the gimmicky and poorly implemented gamepad.

Other than the Wii, which was a flash in the pan global phenomenon (which has since passed), the only reason people buy a Nintendo-made console is for the first party offerings.

A powerful console that could potentially play the big third party titles (assuming they decided to return to Nintendo) AND first party exclusives could be very popular.

@DESS-M-8

Don't worry.

As you previously stated, companies like EA, Bethesda, Ubisoft, Activision, etc have been busy spending the last couple years developing games for the NX. Once it launches, it should have a lot of third party support...right??

Why do people keep saying this belongs in a museum?? Who would care about it outside of video game fans?

"Honey, let's go see the dinosaurs, the Egyptian mummies, meteor fragments and the prototype Play Station at the Smithsonian this weekend"

Never mind the fact that everyone saying this, even if it was in a museum, would in all likelihood never get a chance to see it there anyway.

"most of which seem to have been a result of famed Belgian console modder Vadu Amka jokingly tweeting that she was responsible for creating the system"

She's nowhere near as famous as Aguilar Sanchez, the renowned Mexican console modder. I would even put her skills below those of Suliman Abdul Mohammed, the fantastic console modder from Sudan.

Basement coders made emulators for pretty much every console from Atari to 16-bit that work almost perfectly on my Wii, yet Nintendo still pretends it is some painstaking process getting these games up and working.

@shinesprite

Are those the days where the manual said 'press A to shoot and B to jump'?

Sounds like this control scheme is a little bit different.

I think he confused 'complex' with 'convoluted'

@RegalSin

@IceClimbers

Exactly.

As you just admitted, the PS4 is the most powerful of three weak consoles.

So when Sony says 'we have the most powerful console', they are telling the truth.

Glad you finally understand.

@IceClimbers

How many dedicated home consoles are there?

Three.

Of those, which is the most powerful?

PS4.

When people say the PS4 (or Xbox) are the most powerful, they are only comparing those three consoles. No one believes any of those systems is more powerful than a PC, so you constantly bringing up that point is meaningless.

The PS4 IS the most powerful current home console. Deal with it. It is a fact.

@Mona-Reggie

But when a new home console launches, they usually come at the end of another systems lifespan, with all the companies putting out new hardware within a year or so of each other.

Nintendo seemingly releasing a new console while their competitors machines haven't even peaked yet is a new scenario for them.

@Bass_X0

If you are against practicing homosexual acts, you will never get better at them. Don't give up! It may seem difficult at first but with enough practice you will be able to compete with the best.

This is how the conversation went...

Reggie - "So we realize that your games sell like crap on our consoles, we are coming off the massive flop known as the Wii U which has destroyed consumer confidence in our home console brand, and that when the NX comes out both the PS4/Xbox will have a combined 60-80 million owners and still be going strong.

However...we would like you to invest money and resources into producing games for our newest console which has no owners. What do you say?"

Third Parties - "I think we will take a pass"

@NintendoFan64

Don't worry about it. It was just another joke that would have gone over your head!

@Grimlock_King

Name one thing he has accomplished since he left Nintendo in 1991 that proves he has something to give that Nintendo is currently missing?

Drawing a picture of Toad and making the top of his head look like a phallus is no grounds for a banning.

@Goginho

When the graphics are great like in MK8, Smash Bros, etc, people praise them constantly. When the graphics are seemingly disappointing, they will criticize them.

The pendulum swings both ways.

@ACK

"Why does it matter whether Kamiya is invovled? Platinum is a large studio with many cabaple creators, he is just one figurehead"

Ya, lets not pretend that every time a new Nintendo game comes out that is being designed/produced by Miyamoto that this point isn't hammered into our brains in every article about it.
