@Achoo The Wii got lucky because of motion controls. Most people would say that people who've never even played video games before had it, but when they did all they did was play wii sports and never touch the thing again. Plus the GameCube had "special" tiny discs, that made it hard for third party games to port to the system so that argument doesn't make any sense.
For the people saying to stop bashing miyamoto, here's a thing. Sure, Miyamoto might have changed the gaming industry forever, and done some good things. But when you sacrifice good controls in star fox for some stupid gimmick that was easily fixable? That's not good at all. And sure, motion controls sold well, especially with the Wii. But now people don't want gimmicks from Nintendo. All we want is a normal next gen system with an normal controller, and 3rd party games. Sinple sustems like the PS4, are a good example.
@SteamedOddish SA2 is hated on mainly because many people like me think it's overrated. I mean sure, yeah the sonic levels are good, but tank shooting and treasure hunting in a series that's built off of speed? Not to mention how people say it's better than generations, and colors.
I like Undertale a lot, but there's no way it could be ported. There's moments in the game, when the game...lets just say to avoid spoilers, does the unordinaryx100 (the neutral route).
@B3ND3R Snake won't make it in because his games are rated M, that guy that everyone loves left konami, and MGS5 isn't even on wii u but it's on Xbox 360 :/
Yeah having games on other systems is totally the worst idea I've ever heard, and this will RUIN Nintendo. And working with other companies? Terrible idea. inb4 third party games selling really well on every other console and Sony making the PlayStation
And here we go with people raising their expectations extremely and unreasonably high. And I'm calling it now, when they don't announce anything on Club Nintendo, NX, or Mario Galaxy 3 everyone's going to have an E3 2015 reaction.
inb4 believing in the hype Yep, here comes everyone raising there expectations beyond reason ability. And now when they don't announce a new game last minute, people will be sad/mad.
@amiiboacid I brought up sega because Sonics personality was more cool to kids back then. Mario is basically a fat Italian stereotype to believe it or not it's true. Right now Marios the same and sonics full of dank memes (his official Twitter account), and dated puns. Sega could also still have consoles if it wasn't for them releasing way to many during the genesis.
"Connect to gammers and make Nintendo a part of there daily lifes" is a phone game not even a real "game" in the first place is a facebook esc app with Nintendo Mk. I'll give it a shot I guess..
Read through the comments and on sonic adventure 3, why? Sonic adventure two is so overrated to the max sometimes ,like how many of you seriously enjoyed the knuckles stages (which they made even worse than adventure ones), and the mech stages(which again are worse than adventures)? And the chao garden? It's fun I guess, but you know there's something wrong with sonic adventure 2 when people only like a little mini game/side project more than the actual sonic levels. Haven't played Heros in a while, but atleast in the majority of it you can go fast. And a problem I have with classic sonic is that half of the time you're making leaps of faith, or if you do pull it off, it's in memorization. And if you want to move the camera to see infront or above you you loose all your momentum when in 3D sonic for the most part you can just see. I think for classic sonic the camera should be zoomed out like Mario, and for modern sonic, it shouldn't feel like you're on autopilot (which means that I prefer adventures 3D sonic over boost, but I'm not saying the boost is bad). If sega actually does make sonic adventure three, it should be only focused on sonic.
Wait activision has made a good game that isn't COD and it's on GuitarHero?"OMG ITS SO REPETITIVE worse game ever 1/10"-People in the comments. Can you cut them some slack for making a good game once again? It's like people only see COD and determine activision as trash, just because they don't like it. I haven't played or seen guitar hero since the third one on PS2, and seeing this is awesome. Definitely buying this game.
Watching PBG and the game grumps play the hard levels are hilarious! Some levels should be fair, and not have some cheap secret you have to find to beat it, or something close to impossible.
@amiiboacid The problem is though that they haven't made a console without gimmicks since the GameCube. And now kids and others ether think that the Wii U is for kids, or think that it's a useless add on to the Wii. Even sega was doing pretty good with the Genesis, because sonic was their cool factor character, which Nintendo didn't have. Nintendo needs to learn how to survive without gimmicks.
Nintendo should actually advertise the Wii u itself. I mean when's the last time the Wii U as a system was advertised? Almost all the time on YouTube I see the PS4s greatest games ad,Destiny, and some Xbox ads. I haven't seen Wii U once.
@electrolite77 What I meant to say was can you at least explain why it's a terrible game? I can admit, the last couple zones are horrible, but the first half of the game is pretty good. And if you use the argument "Well half of the game shouldn't suck"(which is true), look at sonic adventure 2 (which is supposedly the best sonic game ever, but managed to screw up the radar from adventure one, and put tails in a mech). I just think this game gets way to much hate, and it deserves a sequel. My problem with Sonic lost world is bad level design in the later half, way too many 2D sections, and the story is all over the place. It's not perfect, but it's definitely not the worst sonic game ever like people make it out to be. Also, sure the level design looks a little bit like Mario Galaxy, but there definitely is not as much of an emphasis on gravity based platforming.
They have to get there advertising up. The reason there not in is because, let's face it, the Wii U is a failure. I mean sure it has some great games on it, but basically none of them are advertised. The only game I've seen being advertised is Mario maker, and that's it. Plus casuals still think it's an add on to the Wii, which is sad. Plus, now a days people think Nintendo is for kids all because of the Wii, which is definitely bad. You always see Microsoft and Sony advertising "mature" games, yet Nintendo hasn't. Not even beyonetta, made by sega which Is close to Nintendo, and exclusivity helped it sell well. They better have a good idea on what to do with the NX.
