Nintendo diehards- Oh yeah your amazing, we think you are really cool, we'll give you apart my love, but you would have to play the fool.

Nintendo made the right noises about third-party support — here was a powerful system with backing from major players like EA, Activision and Ubisoft, we were told, and the innovative new controller would encourage unique, multi-screen experiences.

Nintendo are genius thay are the only company that can flat out lie to it's user-base, "Nintendo Wii U is 19X more powerful than the PS3"

@Diddy_kong
What your saying is totally true, most of what's going on now is down to Nintendo. That left the WiiU to rot for a fair few months, I can understand them delaying there games. But what about VC a few ports whatever, I'm just not seeing the effort on Nintendo's part. It's all good and well saying thay are going to focus on the Gamepad etc bit when? Nintendo really needs to start showing an effort and just not relaying on the 3DS and there attitude towards 3rd will come back too bit them on the butt.

To be fair to Ubisoft thay did say if the numbers didn't improve over Xmas thay would be pulling there support all depending on Xmas, obviously Xmas didn't deliver.

@I-AM-REGGIE
(Borderlands 2 is coming to the vita ?)
Because unlike Nintendo Sony has there own 3rd party production team, God of War collection is next for the PSVita.

@PrincessEevee9

You clearly have only ever play Mario..

Lost Worlds put me off as soon as I knew it was a hybrid of Sonic & Mario, hopefully the New Sonic captures the magic of the original Sonic games.

@Tony_342
All most for got about Valiant Hearts: The Great War.

@Laxeybobby
It should be the same price as the PS4 version £11.99/$14.99.

The arcade version was good, it was different to the Nes version but for its time it was quite good.

I cannot wait for The Evil Within, what I've seen of that looks good.

This article is a bit confusing, first thay say Nintendo isn't as helpful say as other companies and EU is there last priority then goes onto age rating. Why don't thay just tell the truth and how it is, or just don't work with them. Because it's no secret Nintendo are not that good with 3rd party's, but apparently have got better to work with recently.

@quaxonH

The Gamepad is not the main controller otherwise every game would use it, it's says a lot when nintendo themselves don't even use it in there own first party game.

Are you serious? Please, open your eyes past the hatred for this company

So if someone doesn't agree the Gamepad Is the second coming or something, you must hate Nintendo? Are you people for real.

@JaxonH
A tablet stuck to a console is a gimmick aka Gamepad, read the first part of the article thats what it was designed for. There is only a handful of games that use the gamepad, and most of the ideas the games use using the gamepad came from the people who made them mostly 3rd party. If Nintendo did have any solid ideas for the gamepad we wouldn't be here today.

After reading that Nintendo are creating gimmicks for the sake of it, even tho it adds nothing at all apart from playing without the need of a TV. Isn't that why people buy handhelds, being portable without needing a TV. Some of us own our own TV's or does Nintendo not get that, and not only that people buy consoles to play there games on TV. Nintendo lost it.

2014 is a very big year for Nintendo especially to do with the Wii U, sadly I don't see much changing. Nintendo biggest mistake was selling out,

@Jayvir you've hit the nail on the head,

@Cloud-San-VII
I'm not surprised.

I'm not iinterested in SIM like stuff.

3rd party don't need Nintendo to make money in this day and age, anyway DS games are filling 3rd party games on the Wii U.

@Tony_342

Infamous Second Son & Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes both come out 21st March, both good games.

I just want release dates for Bayonetta2 & X.

@Yorumi
Sorry but history does not dictate the future.

I don't see how taking another pay cut will solve the problem, other than publicity.

Yes I completely agree with this article, wait a minute. hasn't this guy just made an "indie" game on the Wii U, so it's safe to say he could gain a lot more with Nintendo going indie. This reminds me of that other indie guy who would slay Nintendo off, than over night Nintendo was the best thing since slice bread all because his game was coming out on a Nintendo system. Just ask the public why thay are not buying a Wii U, at least thay don't have an incentive to say nice this.

@Artwark
Cave Story wasn't a Wii U exclusive it was out on other platforms first, I can tell you an excellent indie game Don't Starve.

@Jaz007

I agree with you,

I'm looking forwards to X because I love RPG'S it's ashame the Wii U has hardly any, Donkey Kong I'm looking forwards to too love the DK games. Bayonetta 2 I'm looking forwards to, I already have Watchdogs pre-ordered for the PS4 with infamous & Metal Gear Solid: Ground Zeroes.

There are a lot of Nintendo Ninshin's on here.

The game is not even canned on the Wii some of you lot need to get over yourself's.

I don't see why putting Nintendo games on smartphone's would generate interest in it's hardware, by putting Mario & CO on tablets & smartphone's would kill off there hardware. You really think people that play on smartphone's now & again that don't buy console's anyway, would really go out and buy a Nintendo console after playing Mario, you must be out of your minds.

@Nintenjoe64

Based off the games I've got and have downloaded I know for a fact it's faster than any console I've played on to date and that includes the Wii U as I have a Wii U. I was able to download resogun and within 2 mins I was playing it as it was still downloading, but at the moment not all the games out have had there files sorted to be able to do that. But all the newest games like Driveclub, watch dogs etc will be doing that.also you don't need to wait for a game to instal before you can start playing it, you start playing it after a 1 min or 2.

@Nintenjoe64

People were believing promises like 'no load times again ever'

I get the feeling you haven't got a clue what they meant by that and it's not what you think, thay where talking about in-game loading times. Take AC3 as an example, it was a open world game until you stepped onto the ship and than it would start loading. Or Skyrim as you went from city to city it would have loading times in-game, getting rid of them loading times is not make believe.

Considering films can run into the hundreds of millions, I would say the gaming industry is doing very well for themselves.

Good article it's quite funny when you think about it, another funny article was that make your XboxOne backwards capability which would brick the console. Funny in a sense you wouldn't believe anyone would believe it, but the problem was some people did.

@JtotheY
Actually your right the thumb sticks give it away which are in a different place towards the PS3 looking at that video again.

I would say the PlayStation3 control pad gives it away, but hay that's just me.

I think everyone is missing the reality of today's market, there is X amount of devices to choose from and if they can develop a game in half the time and make more money doing that these publishers won't lose sleep over one platform. Now the real question can Nintendo adapt to today's market, because the Wii U surely hasn't.

@Mahe
That issue come and gone all of 2014 bigger games like MGS Ground Zeroes or The Witcher and meny more, you already know there not coming to the Wii U.

@B3ND3R
PSN being hacked towards just going down is two different things, and when the PSN has gone down your not waiting for days just hours a big difference.

@TechnoEA

Most people associate PS with RPG and JRPG's, go figure, it seems to be only Nintendo fanboys who come with the shooters dudebro comment.

So true but I would expect common sense from a fanboy or 8 year old kids.

@element187 NintendoLand not all of us are 8 years old, NintendoLand

Dragons Crown rules all, Mr Yoshida has class which others lack.

@ikki5
The Wii U took a week to sell its first 400,000 Wii U systems in the US, towards the PS4 one million in 24 hours US. A UK problem me thinks not.

The other consoles outsell the one year old Wii U in just a few days, and people think its a UK problem. Maybe they should take there heads out of the sand and smell the coffee.

If you all was expecting game announcements you watched the wrong show, "dude-bro" is a US thing isn't it? I mean "dude-bro" = US culture,

it's easy to lose sight of the fact that Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze is coming in early 2014,

Believe me i haven't forgotten, for my Wii U this is my most anticipated Wii U game.

doctor_doak
Do you blame them the Wii U was losing retails money, at the end of the day its Nintendo's own fault that where i live anyway thay don't stock the Wii U or its game you have to go online.

Most of what he has said is reality especially this part: (I think retail and the market will push Nintendo in a direction whether they like it or not.) or you could just do this:

I think retail and the market will push Nintendo in a direction whether they like it or not. They MUST be in danger of losing shelf space at this point.

I 100% agree we are already seeing the Wii U losing shelf space, hell in most shops thay don't even stock it let alone it's games. Early 2014 the Wii U has DK apart from that what else does it have until spring? nothing its totally dead .i think people thinking the Wii U well sell like mad in 2014 just because of Smash Bros & co are in for a rude awakening, people want consoles that are supported with both 1st & 3rd parties in this day an age especially for £249.

More than 2.1 million PS4s have been sold,

http://blog.us.playstation.com/2013/12/03/ps4-global-sales-update/

Wow half these idiots thinks this EX- Naughty Dog co-founder is speaking on behalf of Naughty Dog, lol.

@Frapp

You talk of people wanting change, but I don't see any change with PS4 so far.

Of couse you haven't it's only been out 3 days here, lol.

@SanderEvers

Also the sales of the PS4 will be dropping to 0 in next weeks because it's all sold out.

Really who told you that? there sold out at the moment but by next or the week after shops will have more in stock.

@PinkSpider
I think it comes down to playing games, going off most of the comments here i would say Nintendo so called gamers are shallow yes. Nintendo should just brand you all like thay do to cattle, it seems fitting.
