Could the WiiU have been a hit if NINTENDO were smart?

example, perhaps not force the game pad on people,

or even with the gamepad have mario 3dworld n kart drop in the launch window, and also have bigger storage at least 120gb.

-take away that dumb controller, copy either the xb1/ps3 controller or a blend of both
- have true multitplayer
-backwards compatible with all wii games (not sure if it has this)

it has backwards compatibility and multiplayer (just not all features gamers expect)

i love mine, I just think it shoulda been marketed much better....infact whoever was in charge of marketing in the US should be fired.

they do, its the pro controller, but I agree, the tablet could have been considered an add on, and they shoulda bundled the system with both controllers.

The gamepad has grown on me especially with Mario Kart 8 off screen. :wow:

I don't think it could've been anywhere as big as the first Wii. Motion control fad has died and people still aren't buying it unless they love the first party games. The one thing they could have done better was market it better. I didn't know wtf a Wii U was until this year honestly..I assumed it was an addon for the original Wii and pretty sure a lot of others do too. A different name would have helped a lot.

Yup. Absolutely horrible marketing. I think I've seen a commercial once.
