They need to realize that the best gimmick you can have is a great gaming library for your console, which is a rare gimmick to have nowadays.

no reason why we shouldn't have these on the same console

People understood the system quite well:

It's underpowered compared to the other current gen consoles and the last gen consoles
Overpriced due to the gamepad
3rd parties didn't fukk with it
All it has were Nintendo games
Didn't have the features that other systems had, including standard last gen features
Overall marketing sucks

So yeah, people understood what it is, they just want nothing to do with it.:yeshrug:


Hopefully they learned their lesson and will make a decent console that keeps up next time.


















They wont:shaq2:

Most of those issues are par for the course with Nintendo. It basically was their typical console.

Basically this. Since they don't cater to 3rd party, cross-platform at all, it's on Nintendo to push 1st party games out faster and give gamers a reason to get Nintendo consoles as the add-on to their PS4 or XB1.

They had Wii-U dudes starving until they finally dropped Mario Kart and SSB last year and looking at the sales, those titles actually did really well all things considered.

They need to drop at least 2 of their top franchises each year (Mario Kart, SSB, Metroid, Zelda, Mario-3D, etc.) in the first 3 years of their console for it to get momentum and have a chance.

Seriously Nintendo has NOBODY to blame but themselves, reason being is that Nintendo could be the most unstoppable company in gaming. Destroying both Sony and Microsoft EASILY. Why? Because they have a top of the line first party games that everyone wants and likes and its only on their consoles, and then you get third party games like COD, GTA, Fallout, Witcher, Battlefield, Fifa,etc,etc. But we don't see this. Why? Nintendo could easily have the best of both worlds, but again we don't see this. And its do to Nintendo's MANY, MANY, MANY flaws. The main one being their arrogance. Yes their arrogance which has been noted time and time again. And it started with the N64 and thinking they can be "innovated".

  1. They made a doofy controller with the N64
  2. While Sony was going the CD route, Nintendo was too arrogant to follow. Staying with using cartridges:beli:
  3. While Sony and MS were making it a standard to use DVD disc, Nintendo not only used regular CDs but those tiny disc
  4. Nintendo still doesn't understand that online gaming is a STANDARD...
  5. Ever since the Gamecube they decided to make their consoles so overpowered that its almost no different than last gen consoles. The PS2 was the weaker console during its gen, but it was NO WHERE NEAR almost the same in terms of hardware close to the N64 or PS1. The differences between the PS2 and Gamecube werent huge. Meanwhile the differences between the PS3/360 and Wii U is not that huge.
  6. During gen 7 Nintendo STILL understood that DVD discs are now a STANDARD. But it gets worse in gen 8 they still don't understand! The Wii U can't play DVDs or blu ray disc!!!:ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::ohmy::snoop:
  7. They ignore their fanbase pleas
  8. They dont understand that social media and video forums like YouTube are a big part of modern gaming and because that we had the YouTube controversy.
  9. Them being "innovating" let to the Wii U having a doofy and expensive controller.
  10. They butcher any franchises of theirs that is not Mario, Zelda or Super Smash Bros. RIP the Metroid series which I loved back on the GC...
  11. Due to continuing to make their hardware underpowered, third party games cant make games for their consoles due to not wanting to gimp their games.
  12. Their marketing suckass. It was like they were too got damn lazy to market the Wii U.
  13. Due to their arrogance their do not want to change.
So again NO Nintendo, it is you who doesn't understand us gamers. You don't even understand your own fanbase. Nintendo only got lucky with the Wii, because they released it in the right era. Now the casuals have moved on to mobile games and other things. So now they don't have the casuals anymore. Either way the Wii was a short success, because sales were dropping and the PS3/360 were slowly catching up. Most casuals who bought a Wii only played it for weeks, before packing it up in their closest. I know because my family who are casuals owned a wii and after never touched it.

The whole entire Nintendo company needs a revamp in who's in charge. They need something like what happened with the Xbox division but BIGGER.

Nintendo only have themselves to blame...
