Something many have seemed to have forgotten is that DENA and Nintendos deal was that the games must also come to the Wii U (cant remember if it included the 3ds but may do) I think that this will keep the Wii U and 3DS afloat for a bit whilst awaiting the NX but I am actually wondering if the NX from what it looks like on patents etc is a redesigned or updated form factored wii U minus a disc drive - could it be that the NX hardware is actually software that will be able to run on Wii U, 3DS, tablets, pc etc with the games requiring more horse power being only able to play on actual NX hardware? or that the expected new service coming to replace club nintendo is a pay per month or subscription access to virtual console style titles that cross over to other platforms for example being able to play select NES, SNES, N64, GC, GB, GBA, NDS, 3(2)DS titles on hardware that can run them ie android tablets, high end phones or through cloud gaming to underperforming hardware, as to be fair Im pretty sure streaming super mario bros 3 wouldn't be too hard, but look how the New 3DS is able to "stream" the players whilst the environment is on the cart in one of its exclusive games - is it Dragons Quest?.. I was using the NX as a reason not to buy a Wii U (I went out and bought one a couple of months back and its the best fun I have had playing games in years, so felt quite stupid for waiting so soon), however when I read about the DENA agreement it explains why there might be a lack of software to Wii U currently as it may actually already be in development for the service, they just cant talk about it as it would show Sony MS etc the killer app / features that it wants to protect... then there is the thought of the 3ds Wii U connectivity 3ds gaming on move replicating the wii u pad - then returning home to carry on playing the wii u version of the game (albeit in different resolutions)... it is coming nintendo have been experimenting on connectivity and how people play for years. And yes they did say the mobile gaming strategy was to introduce people to nintendo - remind them what they love about nintendo and to bring them back in to the nintendo gaming fold. Xbox one struggling with games in 1080p? My Wii U and its games seem to be fine running in 1080p! and again this is down to the power and performance, if nintendo shift some of it to the cloud with all current hardware then it could redifine the current console wars and nintendo would be making massive profits of lowering manufacturing costs of current equipment
Here is a question though Nintendo, why are your indie games on average 3 times more than on rival consoles?!? and your digital software sometimes over a third more than buying the retail disc version?!?
