After the surprising mainstream success of the Wii, Nintendo has faltered a bit. Now that it’s been nearly six months since the Wii U launched, let’s take a moment to see how the console has been doing. Nintendo launched the 3DS at a high price in February 2011, and then slashed the price by $80 only six months later. Will its other console suffer the same fate?
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.
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "With Tears of the Kingdom being so recent and Nintendo’s next system likely coming soon, it’s safe to say we won’t be looking at another big Zelda launch title this around and it’ll likely be years before any ruminations of the next game start to surface, but in the meantime we can always speculate. Breath of the Wild changed things for the series by multiplying its popularity manyfold, so it would seem only logical that the franchise will continue along the path Breath of the Wild started, however a look at the series’ history shows it might not be as simple as that. So, let’s take a look at what the future of this legendary series might have in store for us, blending in equal parts qualified theorizing and wishful thinking."
Is the water, boiling (joking)?
It's obvious that the Wii U isn't selling at the respected level that Nintendo deems is decent, though they have other gaming platforms earning them profits to alleviate the Wii U's short comings.
Bailing the Wii out during of its software drought (around 2007/08), is amazingly reminiscent of what's currently going on with their successor console. Problem is; Nintendoland isn't the catalyst type of software that Wii Sports was for the original Wii. They (Nintendo) talk about how ''they've embraced online gaming and networking'' this generation, though to the trained eye (metaphorically writing - core gamers), they've completely missed the point.
Why doesn't Nintendoland feature online play?
Why don't announce new theme attractions, via DLC?
They've haven't done everything wrong though, that's why I'm a huge fan of Miiverse (complaint/suggestion box 1.0.1 - lol).
People need a flashback to what happened to the PS3 in its firt months and then see it now. WIIU can do the same.
Pretty much. 3rd party support is lacking and 1st party games are are still not available. ;)
Wii U is in a tough spot because its lacking software
