Nintendo Wii U (Thread 2!)

[rmoxon]

I agree Adam. Which Is why I commented in the first place. Not that it helped as people are just so ignorant..

Anyway. After all that weirdness, it would be nice if the next post had something positive to say about the WiiU.... You know, instead of some Bizzare homoerotic deadly premonition gif

I've been enjoying Mass Effect 3 on Wii U recently.

Loved it on 360 and its been a delight on Wii U. I love using the gamepad as a microphone, its nice not having to wear that ****.

I must say i have found the pro pad more suited for the third-person style of play Mass effect offers, but i still have the Gamepad on my lap!

[Adam Stone]

Once games like Mario, Mario Kart and Smash Bros come out and theres a price drop the Wii U will be fine, same as the 3DS. Again like the Wii and 3DS the Third party support wont improve even if the Wii U flies off of the shelves, but if Nintendo can get a steady stream of games out, about one a month say, that should be enough. Nintendo have always been similar to Apple in terms of their business strategy and they should carry on doing that rather than take the easy short term solution. Even if the Wii U only manages to sell 20 million in its whole lifetime it will still be profitable for Nintendo.

Yeah, which is a massive shame - I personally think Nintendo could massively benefit from becoming a software only developer - improve their output, their sales and of course profits. Selfishly would also mean I wouldnt need to resort to using any of their god-awful craptastic devices!

Well that strategy worked out so well for Atari, Hudson, SNK and Sega.....

Being a devout Nintendo fanboy it pains me to agree, but I do.

[parkinho]

There's more chance of Sega making a new console than Nintendo going 3rd party.

How would they benefit exactly? 3DS dominates the Japanese market and the Wii moved most units last gen, generating huge profits for Nintendo. How would Nintendo profit from giving a share to MS or Sony for every Mario game they would sell?

[fishbowlhead]

I'm sorry shozuki but how in any way are Nintendos devices crap? They make some of the most reliable hardware you can come across, barring the n64 analogue stick that gunked with dirt, their hardware outlasts anyones, in fact I've never had a Nintendo piece of hardware fail.

Lets quit all the negativity eh people, getting real old now.

Yeh we'll said , Nintendo make excellent hardware and controllers , they innovate and other company's copy that shows how good they are , apart from the virtual boy Nintendo have been spot on .

I do love my Xbox and ps3 too, you can't go wrong as a gamer owning a Nintendo and one of the others . As Nintendo offer something different you can't get elsewhere.

Most people who have'nt got the machine should'nt critisise it, it's a cracking machine, and those who think the next gen Sony and Xbox will be awesome check out the latest pc's, don't think they are going to be up to that even?.

Didn't you spend ?400 on a SNES game last year?
