It's funny, I haven't owned a Wii in years, and I've kind of forgotten about Nintendo (console wise).

Yet it's the only company that has games that could be system sellers for me if they made them... I would seriously buy a Wii U if they announced a new F-Zero, or a new Metroid. If I didn't have an Xbox, or a PS3, there wouldn't really be any games that would be system sellers for me like some of Nintendo's are.

I find that highly odd lol. In any case, I'm keeping a close eye on the Wii U, and the games that are announced. XD

Not sure why u have so many disagrees, No one can argue that Ninty's franchises have system selling power, but i also dont own a Wii, never have....but the Wii-U does have my attention.

One game i do miss is Zelda because i had the gamecube and the gameboy Sp and playing Wind Waker was a very unique fun experience, so i can only imagine an HD zelda with the Wii-Pad

Hopefully this Mario does something that can interests me.

Snookies124421d ago

Lol, well there are always people who just like to disagree no matter what is said. ^^;

The Wii was great at first, but there just weren't enough games coming out that kept my attention. Zelda's are always amazing, though I'm not sure how I felt about Skyward Sword. Maybe I didn't get far enough, but it didn't come across as one of the better titles in the franchise to me for some reason.

Yeah though, I'll be very interested to see what they do with Mario on the Wii U.

DrPepper4421d ago

all i want is true sequel to star fox 64. what i mean by that is keep fox in the damn arwing.

maniacmayhem4421d ago

I've been asking for this since Starfox 64.

A true sequel done by the boys at the Big N, not Namco or Rare.

Batzi4421d ago

Anything like "New Super Mario Bros" or Galaxy is welcomed!! Can't wait :D

StanSmith4421d ago

I would kill for Super Mario World to be remade with New Super Mario Bros. graphics.

linkratos4421d ago

i would kill myself. NSMBW had no charm, they need to stick to 2d art style. anything would be better than NSMBW, whether it's an updated SMW look or even a Paper Mario aethetic

GamingPerson4421d ago (Edited 4421d ago )

I am sure many ps3 and 360 fanboys will talk crap about mario graphics and compare it to gears and uncharted.
I hope this turns out fun!

scotchmouth4421d ago

Because people compare mario to 3rd person shooters? Nice logic

StanSmith4421d ago (Edited 4421d ago )

GamingPerson said they will compare graphics! Which they will. He/she didn't mean they would literally compare every detail from gameplay to story etc.

GamingPerson4421d ago (Edited 4421d ago )

graphics wise.. see comment again..
Also I want mid evil mario..

scotchmouth4421d ago

I stand corrected. I must have read it too fast this morning

Crap_Turtle4421d ago

^ I dont want anything like galaxy or new super mario

I want sprites

Psychonaughty4421d ago

I want a true sequel to Mario64, been waiting years...

scotchmouth4421d ago

Agreed. That game holds up today and is still a blast to play

Disccordia4421d ago

You might be in luck! Wasn't there an article the other day that was rumouring a new 2D mario game? As there's only just been one for 3DS, it might be the WiiU title. Sprites would be kinda cool!

DrPepper4421d ago

sprites would be awesome, i wouldn't mind having a mario game that uses both sprites and 3d graphics and intertwine them into a unique experience.

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H93d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX3d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H93d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro3d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos2d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger883d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk773d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos3d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris3d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

RiseNShine20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

gold_drake20d ago (Edited 20d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno20d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.
