It hasn’t been a smooth ride for Nintendo’s Wii U. It’s premature to call the system a flop, but it’s undoubtedly been a disappointment thus far.
Sony and (presumably) Microsoft are gearing up to launch their own next-generation systems this year, and there's a lot they can learn from Nintendo's mistakes. Here are five of the most important.
Originally launched in 2011, El Shaddai: Ascension of the Metatron is coming to Nintendo Switch, so It's time to look back at the original.
EA and Respawn Entertainment's action adventure game, Star Wars Jedi: Survivor, is now available to EA Play subscribers in some regions.
TSA writes: "F1 24 will introduce brand new suspension kinematics, improved tyre, heat and wear modelling, ERS control and more in a big overhaul to handling and sim."
How not to blow their load at launch!
Some don't want to hear it, but Nintendo should have had exclusive games hot off the press at launch.
If they would have done that from the get go, they would have been a lot further along than they are now.
The way I look at it Sony don't need to look at Nintendo they need to look at them self's and see where it went wrong with the PS3 and not make the same mistakes again.
Microsoft Need to cerate the hype again of the 360 and give everyone a lot of killer games they gave everyone at the beginning of this gen but also have a good mix of core and none core games.
Nintendo now need to have a plan of what they are going to do to make the WiiU stand out against the other two.
I do think all 3 will have a successful gen and I don't think there will be a big gap between the best selling and lest selling console come the end of the new gen.
No the issues Nintendo have go beyond having exclusives for the console and having a exclusives don't guarantee any success now. Their online is just as sh*tty as the previous system. Gamers like their online and the 360 and PS3 provide it the way gamers want and the new systems will feed off what the current ones are doing. The Wii U is trying to ride off the tablet which doesn't provide the same response the wands did for the Wii. The Wii U is looked as a small upgrade and that is Nintendos big issue is recoginition. I remember people arguing consistently about this leading up to the launch and pretty much the issues we argued are the issues they are dealing with. Third Party Support. Crappy online. Tablet not a draw as people hyped it to be.
#1: Don't make shitty hardware
#2: Don't alienate 3rd party developers
#3: Don't cater to kids
#4: Don't cater to casuals
#5: Really, don't make shitty hardware
One thing they can learn from nintendo is how to make a console that will actually last, ps3 has an average 3 year lifespan while xbox360 had a 60% RROD chance for at least 3 years after the console's release,the wii had no major issues like that. Thats pretty pathetic on both MS and Sony's part.
