Nintendo WiiU : Thread 05

[wakka]

Lol fanboy rage in the comments on there. JRPGMan is not happy.

Ultimately this list is fairly meaningless in and of itself, but it's certainly a sign of the times...I love Nintendo but they are becoming more and more irrelevant. Especially to kids, their most important market.

I still think they can turn it around but it's going to take something pretty special with the NX.

Well. It's early but the first WiiU emulator has started to take form. It's completely unoptimised at the moment but it's on its way.

Nintendo need to have a SERIOUS think on many different levels and aspects about how they proceed with their next flagship home hardware. Just throwing Mario/Zelda/Pok?mon/etc at it isn't enough anymore and that is a fact - the commercial failure of the Wii U has shown that.

If they don't then we will be back here in 3-4 years time talking about how the NX is yet another Nintendo commercial failure along with the usual boring "they'll have to do a Sega now" rhetoric.

[wakka]

Agreed. The draw of those games alone is clearly not enough.

[QualityChimp]

If Nintendo lost $250m every 12 months, it would take until 2052 for it to go bankrupt.

So there's still room to manoeuvre, but yeah, they need to pull their socks up!

As much as i did like the mario games on wii i felt like they were not as ambitious as mario galaxy was

But nintendo does what it likes and sometimes i pays off and sometimes it does not

The system has been hacked now with many games running via sd-card and a copy of SSB. Probably result in a nice bump in sales. I've tested it and it works fine.

What the Wii U is now copies running from downloads on SD cards?

[Jaz]

Loadiine.

[wakka]

That's a shame.

[baad bwoy]

I would rather buy the games, collecting WiiU

[Jaz]

Likewise. Not that many good ones really. Just waiting for Yoshi at the moment and then Shovel Knight physical copy.

[baad bwoy]

Does the wii U hack allow it to play multiregion titles?

[kryss]

An excellent question! My copy of Ryu ga Gotoku 1&2 is shouting at me to play it.

edit::
Also important considering SMTxFE is out 26th December in Japan.
