Nintendo should just let the Wii shop games be available on the Eshop, and so all of our Wiiware and VC games can actually be on our Wii U. And, give us GameCube games AND gamepad support for VC games!
I have no problem with this; ill always just play games on my Wii U, but I think the press is freaking out about this because IGN, for example, got a Wii U in the office a couple of weeks before the system launched. After playing on it for a while, many editors went and got their own, and then had to create a new account on their new own personal system, which may have been a hassle for them.
I totally agree with that ending statement. The Wii U's primary focus is to play Wii U GAMES, and if you want to play browser-based games, the Wii U shouldn't be for that. Go to your PC or Mac.
@Br1an Yes, it's a new console; it's early days. This means that developers don't properly know the hardware yet, so that usually means that launch games usually don't show the consoles full potential, or at least have small framerate issues like Batman here. Fully fantastic games that really push the hardware and impress everyone usually come later in the hardwares life cycle.

I don't think its fair for him to judge. Anyway, It's Nintendo! Even though it doesn't look like they know what they're doing some of the time, I am sure that they always know what they're doing!
The thing is that if you care about CoD, you would have a PS3 or X360 and be playing those games on there! So if its on a Nintendo console, why would anyone care? CoD on Wii and DS were woeful! Even though its better on Wii U, is that why you would get the system?
You see, they stock an under supply of systems at launch so people suddenly get nervous and chaotic that the're selling out, so they will frantically buy one in the next shipment!

Re: escapeVektor Hacks Into 3DS eShop on 20th December
Wow. This looks like its gonna be HUGE!
I haven't played the original escapeVektor, but if this receives well I think I should pick this up...
Re: Web Developer Puts HTML5 Games to the Test on Wii U Browser
I totally agree with that ending statement. The Wii U's primary focus is to play Wii U GAMES, and if you want to play browser-based games, the Wii U shouldn't be for that. Go to your PC or Mac.
Re: Toki Tori 2 Delayed Until Early 2013
Well this makes me even more excited about this. It's shaping up to be great!
Re: Talking Point: Time to Adjust Nintendo Direct Expectations
I love Nintendo Directs! They give me small doses of (sometimes) major hype more often!
Although I do LOVE the hype and news blowout of the yearly E3 to look forward to, Nintendo Directs stop me from getting impatient year round.
Re: Sumo Digital: Mario Kart Should Incorporate Other Nintendo Franchises
Didn't ask for your opinion, Sumo Digital.

Re: Talking Point: Time for Wii U to Treat Us Like Adults

It sounded like I was listening to a school debate!
Re: Review: Puddle (Wii U eShop)

Re: uPlay App Now Available on Wii U eShop
That looks very neat!
Sounds like something Nintendo should do!
Re: Review: Bloons TD 4 (DSiWare)
I'm actually not surprised. I later levels on the iOS version the frame rate stutters so much that there is simply no frame rate left it seems!
But, regardless, this is actually a great, addictive game, but maybe it should be played on another platform...
Re: Some Euro Wii U Buyers Reporting A Distinct Lack Of Nintendo Land In Their Premium Bundle
Oh dear...
Re: Nintendo Download: 29th November 2012 (North America)
I'm jealous about Bloons TD 4; It's one of my favourite time-wasting games!
Re: Review: New Super Mario Bros. U (Wii U)
This is THE reason I'm getting a Wii U!
Re: Wii U Version Of 007 Legends Canned In Australia

I'm looking forward to it!
Re: Review: ESPN Sports Connection (Wii U)

Just another crappy shovelware downloadable game here... Move along...
Re: Call of Duty Black Ops II Suffers From Reduced Frame Rate On Wii U
Meh, I don't care...
The thing is that if you care about CoD, you would have a PS3 or X360 and be playing those games on there! So if its on a Nintendo console, why would anyone care? CoD on Wii and DS were woeful! Even though its better on Wii U, is that why you would get the system?
Re: UK Retailers: Wii U Is Sold Out
Nintendo is great at doing this!
You see, they stock an under supply of systems at launch so people suddenly get nervous and chaotic that the're selling out, so they will frantically buy one in the next shipment!
Re: Talking Point: What Games Are You Playing This Weekend? - Issue Eight
Even though it isn't Nintendo related, I just bought a whole heap of games off Steam for the autumn sale, so ill be playing a LOT of them!
Re: Scribblenauts Unlimited Delayed In Europe Until 2013
Ha! Us Australian's still get it at launch! The only time in the history of the world is it an advantage to be a Nintendo gamer in Australia!
Re: THQ Adds Clarity To The Wii U "Horrible, Slow CPU" Comments
