My only issue with the fighting style was the camera. If I was playing as Genis,there would be times when my character was completely off the screen :/
MP: I don’t think that the Wii U can succeed without a lot of third party software support, and don’t see third parties supporting it until it grows its installed base. Those things are correlated: a small installed base means less third party support, and the installed base can’t grow without third party support. If Nintendo can somehow convince third parties to develop exclusives and to develop cross platform games for Wii U, it has a chance. However, with games like Battlefield and GTA coming out without Wii U versions, it doesn’t appear that the third party support will be forthcoming any time this year.
I never wish a firing on anyone but he deserved to be canned. Hopefully they will be able to get their act together this gen because the last one was an absolute mess.
I've seen a lot of talk about people not being aware of the Wii U, and I disagree with most of it. People are very much aware of the Wii U. I realize that all the Doom & Gloom makes it seem like forever ago, but there was a marketing push behind the console when it was released. Nintendo just hasn't done anything that would make someone who is unsure go out and invest their money in the console since then.
They've chosen to just lay low and bite the bullet for now. I guess they're trying to hit the market and their competitors hard during the 3rd and 4th quarters of this year. They're really going to have to bring it because right now they're the only next gen console out and they're already in third place. If Sony and M$ can turn things around after charging $600 and the RROD, then the Wii U can too.
What exactly do you want them to advertise? 3rd party games that are on other systems? Yes their marketing has been weak, but it is justified. It wouldn't make sense to pump a bunch of money into marketing games that aren't going to do big numbers.
They gambled with an early release and lost. How big of a loss is yet to be determined. People that were on the fence on whether to get one now or wait til a major release or the price drops have spoken. I guess it's just damage control until further notice.
