It is no secret that the Wii U has been a little less of a success than what was expected. People were hoping that Nintendo was going to step up their game and make something for the gamers instead of a casual audience and as of now we have seen little difference in the Wii U to the Wii. The Wii U is finally competing with current-gen consoles and players are probably thinking that it will get squashed in the next-gen battle. It is unfortunate how something that was once so well loved by gamers is becoming an un-cool has been console. The Wii U had shown some great potential but nothing was appealing enough to make every type of player jump on board and want to play. More people are waiting for the announcement for the next-gen Xbox or saving up some money to get their hands on a PS4 then paying any attention to what Nintendo already has sitting on the market.
Game Rant chats with the creator of No More Heroes about who he would like to see play the role of Travis Touchdown in a live-action adaptation.
Actually Ryan Gosling makes a ton of sense.
Edit: If this can be done in a Scott Pilgrim movie kind of way that would be dope.
Super Mario Maker's last level has been beaten, after Trimming the Herbs was revealed to be totally bogus.
Rare has had an astonishing journey since being founded in 1985. But of the 125 titles released to date, which are the 7 best Rare games?
If Nintendo played their cards right with these games (Pro Controller is a must) then I think they could easily beat the PS4 and most likly next gen Xbox (I wont say so much about that because nothing has been confirmed by Microsoft)
Yeah the PS4 is great but Nintendo can offer an experience that PlayStation cant. It has always been that way for me.
The thing that Nintendo will have going for them this holiday season is AVAILABILITY. Face it, let's assume that both of the next gen systems from Sony and MS launch this holiday season. Now as with almost every hardware launch since god knows when, there always seems to be around 1 million units available for the initial launch. We all know those are going to be snapped up in a heartbeat, which means it will be slim pickings all throughout the xmas season. Meanwhile, the Wii U will be sitting there with a much more attractive price, along with some AAA software to back it up. We don't even know how many launch games the PS4 is going to have yet, and can't even being to think of how many Xbox ones there are (since nothing has even been shown for that system).
If Nintendo plays their cards right and ensures that they have some quality first party software available, then Nintendo can make out big this upcoming holiday.
Nintendo looks to come out of the gate this holiday season!!!
Just because Walmart says the games are coming out this year, that doesn't mean they are. Even if Nintendo is currently planning on releasing these by Christmas 2013, they could get delayed.
The Wii U should have a good holiday because they'll have games by then and possibly a price drop. They will also benefit because new consoles from Microsoft and Sony will probably see very limited stock to start with, throw in a much cheaper Wii U price and you have a good scenario.
Where the Wii u might find a challenge is from the Xbox 360 here in the states around the holidays, if a $99 Xbox 360 is available at that time, and especially around Black Friday, that thing could sell over a million units on that day alone.
