After tninking about this like all day, i'm fine with it. It will spare us the cheesy scripted bs dog n pony show and allow Nintendo to get straight to what they want to show. They're just cutting out the fat.
@JSuede i get what you're saying but there wasn't a demand for smaller red Wii's. That worried me thst theu're outta touch with consumers. I am ABSOLUTELY keeping my fingers crossed that Wii U will get same games as next gen but i have my doubts. Look at BO2 dlc, they don't think Wii U is worth time/effort. Same with Battlefield. I don't want it to turn into a fps box but 3rd party is crucial. You've got a wii u with loads of mario games but your friend as the new GTA whatever. Nintendo will lose that way. They need both and you're right, 3rd parties need some 1 on 1 time and coaxing...
They waste money doing poop like Wii mini and stuff. The answer for wii u success is 3rd parties. We already know 1st party will be great but its not enough
I don't give a sh!t about epic, but it annoys me how laughable it is to them. Also, despite what you are saying on here, Nintendo can't survive with 1st party releases only =(
I notice a lot of people jumping all over this person, and while i don.t agree with everything he or she said, they have a point. Nintendo needs to come out swinging and they're just not. innovate, fine, but stay with the times
I think an indie friendly eshop will be key. If Wii U isn't going to hold a candle graphically to ps4, then they need to be THE system for great indie games & devs.
My concern is they release ports to Wii U wayyy after they already came out on PS360 and then may complain because it didn't sell well on Wii U. Then use that as their basis for not developing for the platform. =/
Nfc can't feel forced though. Skylanders was new and original so it was cool. If every game starts suggesting we buy figures or cards or whatever, its gonna get old. That said, I'm also intriged to see what Nintendo can come up with.
Trouble is game companies have to have every Fing game be a "blockbuster" or else they call it a flop. Its bs and sad times for gamers because creativity is being thrown away for a quick dollar instead...
Tough to say i mean Sony has made a lot of lofty promises about PS3 and Vita in the past and they barely held water. Grapics will be great of course but I'm honestly fine with graphics from current gen. It all comes down to future 3rdparty support and marketing. Nintendo needs to step it up! Be creative but also get with the times on tech! the wii kid fan base is growing up! I have my worries but keeping fingers crossed....

Re: Dan Adelman: Nintendo Aims to Make eShop Publishing "as Frictionless as Possible"
I think an indie friendly eshop will be key. If Wii U isn't going to hold a candle graphically to ps4, then they need to be THE system for great indie games & devs.

Re: Talking Point: NFC and AR - Two Cool Extras That Need Some Love
Nfc can't feel forced though. Skylanders was new and original so it was cool. If every game starts suggesting we buy figures or cards or whatever, its gonna get old. That said, I'm also intriged to see what Nintendo can come up with.
Re: Team Meat: We'd Work With Nintendo If Meat Boy Made It Into Smash Bros.
They're clearly taking piss, they KNOW meat boy will not be in smash bros. Their attitude makes me not want to play any of their games....
Re: Team Meat: We'd Work With Nintendo If Meat Boy Made It Into Smash Bros.
They sound like a buncha cocky kittens. Eshop is now super indie friendly, they'd know that if they pulled heads from hindquarters...
Re: Pikmin 3 Aims to "Simply Go Deeper" Than Previous Experiences
I like the fact Nintendo tries to fully polish their games before release. Thats how it should be! Other developers should take note.

Re: Crytek: Crysis 3 Was "Very Close To Launching" On Wii U

Re: Talking Point: Sony's PlayStation 4 Poses a Fresh Challenge for Wii U in the 2013 Holidays
Nintendo will need to rely on indie devs n use that as a selling point

Re: Watch Dogs Confirmed For Release On Wii U
