Wii U is No Wii, But It’s Going to be Fine

Post-E3 there's been a lot of backlash against the Wii U: not a good enough lineup, not powerful enough, etc. Should Nintendo be running scared? Or have they actually put themselves in a more advantageous position than ever before despite what others may say?

tippytaco. You are being recognized as the infamous spammer!

Nintendo brought the complaints on themselves. This console releases this year. People want to know what it is capable of. I was interested in the beginning. But now that they have played games and haven't given any real information, I've lost interest. I like a few of the things they are doing. But they give me the impression that this thing has little power. And all of these vague leaks mean nothing. Just release the damn specs.

Grimhammer004337d ago

I've seen enough. This is just Ninny being Ninny.
When have they ever taken the cutting edge approach?

It's a current gen HD console with a bit more juice and a gimmick controller. Again.

They even showed the "pro WiiU controller" before e3 stating it was for hardcore gamers. Can you believe that?

Then the PR garbage. Reggie stating last year that they have learned from the wii release and that hardcore was going to be a huge focus. But they Failed.

Only thing that can make them look good - in the eyes of the "hardcore" and media is if they follow through with "it's worth will be a surprise" is...sell it at $249.99 or lower.

I still wouldn't bother...but many would.

Goodbye New Mario, I Won't Miss You

Super Mario Bros. Wonder is the first Mario 2D game in almost two decades without the New Super Mario art style, and it looks all the better for it

Am I missing something? It looks exactly the same, just higher resolution… Is this sarcasm?

specialguest304d ago

Yes, you're not observant if you think it looks exactly the same. It immediately appeared different to me from the start. Mario's 3D model will always be the same, so not much difference there. However, the animation they've given the Super Mario Wonder makes it look more like a CGI Mario animation where as the New Mario Bros game looks more like typical video game animation movements

__SteakDeck__303d ago

@specialguest Yeah those animations are insane.

FinalFantasyFanatic304d ago

You really didn't notice the difference? It's really obvious, I was surprised when I first saw the trailer.

Asplundh303d ago

"Am I missing something?"

Your glasses maybe?

Juancho51304d ago

This Mario game looks great, getting a switch for this and Mario RPG. CANT WAIT, TITS JACKED.

Profchaos304d ago

Yeah I liked how much more emotion could be conveyed through the new style at first glance I didn't see much difference but then rewatching the trailer I'm seeing more and more animations that remind me of the Mario artwork from the manual of smb3

Outlawzz303d ago

I hated the new super Mario bros Style. This new one seems a lot more expressive and less generic. I hope it's a good game

shinoff2183303d ago

I prefer the 2d Mario's. Me and my girl have played them all together and mario galaxy , Mario odyssey. The 2nd player option is extremely eh

If they're not important enough to be held on their own official storefront then they're not important enough to give your money to Nintendo.

Buy these, physically, used or simply emulate them.

This article comes off as nothing more than advertising games that Nintendo, themselves, don't care to offer you... buy now!

ocelot07790d ago

Wait hang on where all the outrage? I swear when Sony tried to do this with PS3 last year. There was outrage from all corners of the gaming universe.

Why does no one care Nintendo is doing it?

MadLad790d ago (Edited 790d ago )

There has been.
A lot of it.

Simply type in "3DS" in Google and tell me what you see.

ocelot07790d ago

Oh I have a fair few websites reporting on it. But where is the outcry on here? I remember their was 2-3 approved top voted articles when Sony announced they where closing the PS3 store. All slating them and not caring about customers.

I should of worded it better. Where is all the outrage on n4g?

MadLad790d ago (Edited 790d ago )

N4G is a fanboy site, mainly frequented by only Sony.
Microsoft is their direct competition, so you'll typically only see articles that are made to rile up those fanbases.

Nintendo does it's own thing, so they're rarely brought up, aside from their fans. The most you get is the same typical two or three posters claiming Nintendo is only for infants.

If you come to N4G for educated discourse and reasonable discussion, this isn't the place. Sad as it is.

pietro1212790d ago

It's lame that it is shutting down. Now I feel rushed buying all the rpgs I missed out on the system.

XxINFERNUSxX790d ago

You guys know that even archive.org has 3DS roms, and all other console roms. I'm downloading 846GB of 3DS roms and will add the best games to my soon to be soft modded New 3DS 😁. Might as well throw in DS and other emulators in there to. Guys this would be the best way to play and enjoy the 3DS. Just need to buy a bigger micro SD card and format it to FAT32, which you can if it's even 256GB or larger there are ways.

XxINFERNUSxX790d ago

This should help if you want to soft mod it excellent guide and up to the latest and probably last 3DS firmware update: https://www.youtube.com/wat...
