My First Weekend With the Wii U

StickSkills said, "Nintendo’s giant leap into the HD era finally landed in Australia last Friday morning. Kangaroos stopped hopping, koalas woke up and not a single laugh was heard from any kookaburras. Well, none of that is true, but Aussie gamers welcomed the Wii U into their arms and I was gleefully part of that cohort."

I am really enjoying the Wii U. I agree with most of this article. I unlike allot of people did however enjoy some Wii games, Zelda Twilight,Zelda Skyward, Metroid Corruption, Mario Galaxy 1,2,Donkey Kong Country, Golden Eye 007,Sin and Punishment, Red Steel 2,No more Heroes 2, Super Smash Bros, Dead Space Extraction, these are just the ones that I really liked that you can't get on any other system, Plus all the Virtual Console games, and Gamecube games were all available for Wii. Literally 1000's of games at our disposal that you could not play on any other system, so I did not feel burned by the Wii. I just wish Nintendo Would have given it some more power!!!!

Um, isn't Dead Space Extraction on the PS3? BTW I too agree with your last sentence. ;)

Dead Space Extraction, was as exclusive for Wii for like 2 years, I forgot that it did come to PS3. I'm sorry. I never played the PS3 version. :)

It`s fantastic and the fans in here are peeing in their pants.

I think i should have waited... Right now my wife is the only one using it to play the Mario bros game. Most of the games that were released for the Wii U, I've either owned on another console. Honestly the graphic is a great improvement (basing this off of the mario bro game) but like everyone mention, what will nintendo do when SOny and microsoft release the next gen?

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."

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.

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.

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.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
