I own a Wii U and love it, but I think its a smart move to end it and get on with a new console that is marketed better and resolves the glaring issues the Wii U had, namely make it more powerful, less gimmicky, and more accessible to third party developers.
Why do they need a "new idea" to make an F-Zero game??? It's a racer! Just build new courses and update the graphics and sell sell sell! Nintendo overcomplicates things... -_-
"but maintained that affordability and innovative remain Nintendo's primary goals" Hope "affordability" doesn't mean having a weaker system than their competitors...again.........
I really really really hope they upgrade Star Fox Zero before it releases! I've been waiting for a new SF game for years and I'll be very disappointed if the final version features those subpar graphics...
@shigulicious I was wondering the same thing. "Super Mario Maker" always looked like a US$39.99 game, like "Toad Treasure Tracker", but the way Nintendo has been promoting the game (taking up a big chunk of the E3 Digital Event) it seems they are pushing it as a must have triple AAA title (which it is not). Like you said, its basically an app. A well polished app, but an app nonetheless...
Amiibo marks the end of Nintendo as we know them. They'll continue making money thanks to amiibo, but they fundamentally changed the company for the worse.
Every day that passes I become more convinced that Nintendo should just abandon hardware and go full on third-party software developer. I know it's considered blasphemy to speak of such things in a Nintendo website, but I just wish for more people to be able to experience the Nintendo magic!
I hate how Reggie and the Nintendo PR people are trying to treat us like children and insinuate that our expectations were too high and that everything is ok. I am a PAYING customer in a FREE MARKET SOCIETY and if Nintendo expects me to continue handing them my money, they better deliver the goods!

I am still disappointed and that will not change for sometime.
No new AAA titles (StarFox looks meh)
No new VC titles (no new N64/GC/Wii games)
No Mario Kart DLC (where is the battle arena update???)
Waaaaaaaay too much focus on amiibo Not only that, but this PR blitz the suits at Nintendo are going through to make it seem like everything is ok is just not cool...not cool at all... I still love Nintendo, but I feel cheated.
Thank you for the honest first-impression review! I am a huge StarFox fan from the N64 days and I have to say I am very disappointed from what I saw yesterday. With the release date so close, I was expecting this game to look exceptional at this point. Also With Miyamoto-san involved (sort of his pet project in a way), I had very high expectations for the game. Maybe not a complete revolution in the StarFox formula, but definitely something worthwhile. Unfortunately that is not what I'm seeing so far... I would rather they delay the game another six months (June 2016) and deliver something promising than to deliver a half-baked eshop type title. The StarFox series deserves better!
Never played the first 2 games, but would be interested in trying number 3 if it came out on the Wii U. (I was under the impression that Sony was co-funding this title since they announced it during their conference...)
It's gotten to a point where I've wanted new Megaman games so much that I've just become tired. I think if Capcom actually delivered a new Megaman game I would be disappointed just because of excessive anticipation and expectations.

Re: Hands On: Logging More Flight Time With Star Fox Zero
I am still disappointed that the graphics are so subpar. Do you guys think 6 months is enough to improve the graphics by much?
Re: Exclusive: We Almost Got A Wii U F-Zero Created By Burnout Studio Criterion

Re: Nintendo Says That Star Fox Zero's Gyro Controls Can Be Turned Off
Now all they need to do is improve those graphics and everything will be great!
Re: Keiji Inafune Would Still Be Interested in Making Mega Man Legends 3
Capcom should team up with a major publisher (like Sega is teaming up with Sony to release Shenmue 3) and make this happen!

Nintendo purposefully destroying amiibo to artificially raise the prices.

Re: Nintendo Download: 18th June (North America)
Another disappointment at E3! Nintendo should have revealed new VC titles!!!
Especially N64 - Gamecube VC titles...
So disappointed in Nintendo
Re: Reggie Fils-Aime Attempts To Explain Why Zelda Wii U Wasn't At E3 2015
Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem was shown years ago and it's still coming out only in 2016. That answer that Reggie gave makes no sense whatsoever.
Very disappointed in the way Nintendo is handling all of this...

Re: Next Metroid Prime Home Console Title "Would Likely Now be on NX"
Wii U is dead after 2015.
They should delay Star Fox Zero and make it a NX launch title.
Re: First Impressions: Our Maiden Flight In Star Fox Zero Prompts Mixed Emotions
They should just take their time and make Star Fox Zero a launch title for the NX.

Re: Poll: We Need to Talk About amiibo - Where Do You Stand?
Amiibo are worth the price if you buy them in order to have the figure, not for the extra in-game features.
