It is no secret that the Wii U is performing below expectations. Nintendo routinely sends out press releases bragging on how well the Nintendo 3DS is doing. Yet they continually fail to mention the sales of the Wii U. Want to know a little secret? Sometimes what is not said is more important than what is said.
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."
For the first couple of years, they will.
By the time Ps4 and XBox get momentum, we'll be talking about Nintendo's next console... coming in 2018!!
Why does EVERY SINGLE PERSON think the Wii U needs a name change. All they need to do to end the confusion is have the slogan be "This isn't a Wii you idiots, this is a new console with new games", except, nicer.
Plus, if they did change the name that would technically make it a different system, and I'd either have to have an incomplete Nintendo home console collection or two systems that look and function exactly the same.
I just don't see the Wii U dominating under any circumstance. The asymmetrical gameplay didn't catch on like the Wii's motion gaming, so it never will. With new, much more powerful consoles coming it can only compete with a price drop (unless the two consoles are priced too high). The Wii U is just an underpowered system.
The handheld market is different than consoles - I don't think a few games are going to automatically make droves of people buy the system when most of the dedicated fans already own it. The Wii sold a ton of consoles, but it was purely because of the novelty. Despite having great 1st party games Nintendo consoles before the Wii were in a constant decline - that's with Zelda games, Mario games, Metroid games, Mario Kart games and Super Smash Bros.
I don't want the Wii U to fail, I just have a hard time believing the Wii U can turn it around and outsell the PS4 and Xbox One.
I doubt it. Even that list wouldn't do much.
Nintendo 1st party games have star power. I love my Mario, Zelda and Metroid. They need to invest in more partnerships like bayonetta, but I want them to make new games. When Monolith Soft release X, task them to make a new IP. If Nintendo was to announce something like what Microsoft is doing, it will be game over. 15 exclusives with 8 of them new games will look better fit for Nintendo. All they have to do is announce something similar and I won't look back.
