Some say that the Wii U is dead in the water. Some say it’s struggling. Some say that it is doing just fine. One thing that we can all agree on however, is that Nintendo and its shareholders would like for the new console’s sales to be higher and more consistent. Here are announcements that would go a long way to making that happen.
Game developers have already started to confirm that they will support the Nintendo Switch 2 with their future titles.
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.
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."
With either NSMBU or Nintendo Land bundled with the console (digital download).
I agree with all the points except for the price cut point.
- I see people whining and crying for a price cut, which would be nice in such a lousy economy. No doubt, the console is expensive - but Nintendo has already said that they're selling the system at a cheaper price than it takes to make it.
So in actuality - the $300/$350 price tag is actually a GOOD thing. Sure, it's a lot to invest in, but that's the lowest they could get it at this point. This is some pretty pricey tech we're dealing with - especially the Gamepad alone.
Either way ~ All of the other points will be good. I'm especially intrigued by the point of showing off the consoles graphical prowess compared to the PS4 and XBOX 720. - I'm pretty sure the difference will be pretty minor, at least when compared to what we saw with the Wii vs. PS3 & 360. Those were two entirely different generations of tech. The Wii U on the other hand DOES have 8th-generation tech. Maybe not as amazing as the 720 & PS4 - but if it's good enough to already have three games running alongside the PC versions - That's a real plus.
only reason id have a Wii U is if they gave me one, and even at that i wouldnt take it unless they offered me a ps4 with it. and even at that id just use it to hit people with, because it is the bigest waste of money,time,components,plastic and electricity since the HDDVD.
END OF.
Why Would anyone buy a Wii U, someone please tell me!
i hope theres some great surprises they have up their sleeves.. I dont see very many games im interested in coming out anytime soon.. I wouldve been just fine if Rayman legends wasnt delayed (thanks to microsoft).. What can ya do? I guess i wont be using my wii u until Bayonetta 2 comes out.... whenever that is smh
