@YoshiTails at this point who knows lol.. I'm pretty pissed at Starfox / Blast Ballz. Nintendo needs to scour these forums, NeoGaf and ask 3rd party developers and publishers, studios that specialise in making stellar engines and game tech what kinda system they should build.
They need to build relationships and forge real meaningful partnerships.. ENSURE STEADY SUPPLY OF QUALITY RELEASES - NOT GET BONED BY AAA GAMES MISSING THEIR SYSTEM.
Effin BS.. Look.. I love Nintendo too but most of you guys have got to stop pretending that all is good. They're getting their ass handed to them sales wise and its a damn shame because games like 3D World, DKTP, Smash, heck majority of their exclusives deserve to be played!
The system should NEVER have been underpowered compared to the competition.. And as much as I love being able to play in bed without the television the Gamepad was an abysmal failure.. It means they might never be able to drive the price down.. They should've just used updated Wii Remotes and probably allowed folks to link their 3ds systems as extra controllers..
I'm just getting tired of waiting for Nintendo to do what's right.. The Wii was awesome but did it really have to be underpowered compared to the Xbox 360? Now they're stuck.. Wii U is underpowered compared to the PS4 / XB1.. The NX HAS TO BE ON PAR WITH THE EVENTUAL PS5 / XB2.. Otherwise they'll lose whatever 3rd party gains they may acquire early on against the PS4 / XB1
Nintendo are fools.. They've always known what we want but failed to deliver. We needed trailers for Zelda.. We needed to see another Mario Galaxy, a real Metroid..
Honestly if all they showed us was a HD Remaster / Remake of F-Zero GX with online capabilities it probably would've blown us away.. Lol.. Instead we got Blast Ballz.. and the Arwing morphing into a chicken.
It's a very very very bad situation for Nintendo to be in.. By the time the NX comes out it'll not only have to be competitively priced with the PS4 / XB1 but it'll also have to be waaaaay more powerful as the PS5 / XB2 would possibly be releasing shortly after.. Will Nintendo be willing to release a mega powerful console? Do they even have the technical knowhow / eagerness to push it?
I don't think Nintendo can continue to appease the general public with gimmicks or "new ways to play".. At the same time I don't think Nintendo has it in them to be able to compete with 4 consoles (PS4/5 XB1/2).. Nintendo's timing seems totally off..
Nintendo has also always sucked at marketing.. They'd have to spend hugeeeeeee amounts to get the console sales so that third party developers would be willing to risk making games for them again. They need to make it as cheap and hassle free as humanly possible to encourage third party support..
Disappointing list.. Needed another few big hitters.. Some AAA third party support would've been sweet too.. Oh well.. Wii U has had some awesome games its just a shame the ship had to sink so soon..
This was perhaps the worst E3 by Nintendo that I can remember.. If this is the standard they've set for themselves I'd rather they quit the industry all together.
Worst character design everrrrrrrr.. It's very off putting.. Also what's with the winning the united states back from terrorists? I just think that they figured this is what western gamers want and unfortunately he's got too many yes men working with / under him.. It's such a shame..
I'm pretty peed off too.. They've somewhat taken the shine off from what would've otherwise had been a great way to market / advertise as well as for positive press.. I'm still gonna check my inbox on Monday just in case..
@thepeterwright I didn't get the email I'd so buy this instantly.. So sad right now.. I was an ambassador for the original ds as well as the 3ds early adopter ambassadors.. I've spent countless on Nintendo.. Sooooooo sad right now
Guys these are truly gorgeous pads! I've got some up on eBay brand new and with an included gc controller to wii remote adapter! I'm based in the UK and am guaranteeing delivery before Xmas if bought in time!
Please feel free to share with anyone you may think could be interested!
It may be Nintendo's best online offering thus far but it's still severely lacking.. both in terms of content and actual accessibility.. after numerous times of failing whilst trying to even connect to the eShop - I've given up..
Nintendo needs to get this sorted.. the problems are widespread and are affecting the entire system.. whether it's the eShop, YouTube or Miiverse.. the online connectivity is riddled with problems.. Countless times I've switched off the console after growing tired of trying and have instead switched on the PS3 (which I usually only use for movies).

Re: Yu Suzuki's Shenmue 3 Could Yet Come To The Wii U
Nintendo should try their own hand at a crowd funded game but add a different twist to it to make the process more "Nintendo"..
