@Yorumi "is nintendo had ONE success with gimmicks and it wasn't even as big a success as others have had with normal consoles."
You are SO WRONG, Nintendo profited more on Wii/DS era than Sony+MS with PS1+PS2+PS3+Xbox+xbox360+PSP+Vita. Nintendo made Huge money with this systems.
When people can't see any problem with this project or why Nintendo bother to shut down, i start to think that a lot of people here are just stupid and love to whining.
The problem is that all casuals migrated to tablets/Smartphones/Facebook games. And i don't see how to get this public back, since almost everyone has one of this devices. BUT now Nintendo can win on both sides, they can cater the core gamers with their consoles and do the same with casuals with their Table/Smartphone games. The best part is that this games will help Nintendo to be mainstream again (especialy with the kids), i can see somebody liking a Mario game on their smartphone and buying a NX to get a deeper experience. (sorry for my english).
This article is the final nail in the Nintendolife's coffin. Now you are on the same level of gamespot/ign and other click/flame bait sites.
The article is dumb, for a lot of reasons like:
-Starfox is a Niche title.
-There is AAA titles comming in the end of year(but of course you guys don't know this, because you are spending too much time creating click baits)
-Yes, the Wii U is not selling well but it's not related with starfox and Nintendo made a lot of mistakes.
"The Wii U's dire commercial situation has become something of an industry joke these days"
This WAS the best gamming site from the web now it's just a jolk. Good job!
Reading some comments i can see how dumb people can be sometimes:
"It was a very positive experience for me. Since it was my only chance to try it out and never got on, I will save $60."
"This is the worst possible outcome for Nintendo in my opinion they lost a few buyers and if I wasn't that keen on buying splatoon I probably wouldn't buy it either after today"
It's GLOBAL TEST FIRE (Stress test) not a COME HERE AND PLAY TO SEE HOW SMOOTH ARE OUR SERVERS. I can barely speak english and i can understand things like this.
I really want this game on my Wii U, i had so much fun playing this game Local Coop Online (TV+gamepad), for me is the best way to play this kind of game.
"6. If you even buy this with real or virtual money Wii points you are so sad. Seriously Rareware made some auwsome DKC games for the SNES, and 10...etc when Banjo-Kazooie was released they gaved us the leftovers of that game."
It's hard to believe that people can't understand that N3DS have a small install base when compared to 3DS. Of course that exclusives on N3DS will sell much less until N3DS gain some steam.
@EvisceratorX Wait the game release atleast in Japan, and than we can talk about the downgrade and a lot of other things from the game. We don't need a article with Xenoblade "MAY" have been downgraded, this is only fuel for haters, Look this comment section and you will see that some haters are already here hating and every article like this will bring more and more haters. Nintendolife always had(and have) the best comment section i ever seen on gamming site and i really want that stays this way.
We don't need a article like "Is Splatoon a Blockbuster that will help revive Wii U" why not make something like "Is Splatoon a Blockbuster that will do very well like Mario kart, Smash and other Nintendo franchises". (can you see the difference?)
Other article that was laughable was "Analyst Thinks Nintendo is Already Winding Down Wii U Ahead Of Nintendo NX Launch" (This is the true click bait article with no substance and the points made by the "analyst" are just dumb.(Yeah, its possible that Wii U will be descontinued on 2015/2016 but we don't even know what is the NX).
This is my main complains, the other articles are very good and have a lot of information and are a pleasure to read. This is my feedback and sorry for my english.
Nintendolife is not the same good site from the past.
I'm from Brazil and i learned to love this site since 2011, but in the last months i'm seeing A LOT of click bait articles here.
Better you guys do something and change your policy because i can assure you that i'm leaving this site if this clickbait articles don't stop (and i'm sure that i'm not alone).
I don't have any problem with criticism against Nintendo and their games (yeah, Nintendo do A LOT os shit decisions), BUT get your blueberries together before post this kind of article.
Sorry to say this, but you suck in video games. Sell your Nintendo consoles and buy Xbox/Playstation, than you will find a ton of easy games with one checkpoint every 10 seconds.
Ps: Mario only make run in circles when player suck and don't know how the camera works.
@alLabouTandroiD Nintendo profited very well on GC era, i know that is hard for some people understand you can profit more selling less than the concorrence.
Lets make some shirts of Marvel, Disney, Capcom characters with no permission so this companys can't complain because it is "free advertising" . It's just unbelievable how many people here can't understand this.
Why people in this site think that UK Sales = World Wide Sales. You have to understand that they only like to buy FIFA, COD and overhyped games, UK people have terrible taste for games. (
@Damo Yeah, i realise this, im from Brazil and read this site almost every day since november 2012, and i never seen so many UKcharts like i saw in the last weeks, (sorry for my terrible english)
Gamepad is awesome. I have a lot of fun playing COD with my brother without split screen, can see the full map when played single player, can see maps and change equips fast in games like Resident Evil and Zelda, i just love the gamepad.(sory for my english).

Re: Nintendo Highlights Increased US Hardware Sales for Wii U and 3DS in 2015
@Harry_Legs
Because the console don't sell like Xone/PS4 the console is a fail?
So every PS3/PS4/X360/Xone game are a fail because they don't sell same numbers(not even close) of Wii Sports resort, Wii Sports, Mario Kart Wii, etc?
LOL
Sorry my friend but a console is ONLY a fail when the console have small library of good games and this is not the case of Wii U.
