Wii U - thread 3

[boxhead]

Indeed you can, and indeed it is and I have Kryss, Jimtendo and Mr Bubbles to stumble through the Japanese version with. You mean the HD remake of the PSP game? Or the Pay-to-Play game that is also coming out on Wii U? There's so many of the ****ers now, that it gets confusing.

That's the sub-based one. I'll likely pass methinks.

Animal Crossing Plaza, awesome!

Animal Crossing Plaza, awesome!

this confused me - is it like a GUI for a 3DS game...on the Wii-U?

[djtickle]

Why would anyone buy a Wii U right now anyway?

New Super Mario U
New Super Luigi U
Tank Tank Tank
Monster Hunter
Zombi U

Have all been enough for me so far with everything else I have going on with other consoles. I have yet to buy Lego City and Pikmin 3. So no complaints here. More games are welcomed but they would only end up in a pile unplayed at the moment.

Mario, Luigi Mario, a niche silly Tank game, A HD update and balls out hard Zombie game. Not exactly enthralling content.

Top ten Wii games according to Wiki. Now you would assume that these are the biggest franchises for the machine as they sold the most. New SMB has sold just under 28m and is now out on Wii U, twice in fact. It has done nothing to sell the machine to consumers. There is no Super Mario Galaxy but Wiki states the sequel sold just over half of the original. Smash Bros is out this year and may do well but it sold far less than NSMB so you can assume safely it will not sell machines.
The leave Mario Kart, always a big seller but not due until next year.

The other games in the list are all party/gimick based games. It highlights to me that the Wii was a complete Freak in terms of Nintendo sales and their main core games do not sell enough to support a console above about 30-40 million units at best, much like the N64 and Gamecube.
The casual market that made the Wii a success has mostly likely moved on to the tablet market or will keep their existing Wii and are probably happy with it. This is all speculation but I cannot see it any other way.

Wii U, screwed.

[J0e Musashi]

If you compare that to Xbox 360 and PS3 best selling titles, Nintendo are taking the ****ing piss. 82.98 million copies. LOL

[nakamura]

Pack in game.

[speedlolita]

Wii Sports is just the amount of consoles sold though isn't it? Sort of cheating, perhaps.

Bayonetta 2 will see me buying one of these and anything else that's coming out that looks interesting is just a bonus.

[J0e Musashi]

Regardless. 82.98 million. Mario Kart sold over 20 million more copies than GT5 and Black Ops 2.

[nakamura]

Mario Kart is literally the only chance the machine has left. That or a massive price cut.

[J0e Musashi]

Or Goof Troop 2.
