Not all is well in the world of Nintendo, so says Wedbush analyst Michael Pachter.
Citing a lack of third-party game software support for its flagship Wii U and the company simply taking too long to release an HD console, he says Nintendo is in a world of trouble.
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.
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."
I'll agree that Wii U needs more 3rd party games, but the console itself isn't half bad.
Pachter is making factually-incorrect statements:
"And we know EA has no games in development for Wii U."
I thought EA took this back? It was some disgruntled ex-EA employee or something that claimed EA wasn't making any Wii-U games, and then a few days later they said they were?
EDIT ah here we go

Yeah, EA is making Wii-U games, just not as many as they'll be making for X1 and PS4. Seems a bit off, Pachter, to give your analysis when you don't even have your basic facts straight.
hey good news for Nintendo!
I mean if patcher says its doomed then its bound for success.
Wii U will do better when more games arrive.
wii-u has the same problems as all nintendo consoles, on specs level they are not able to compete with the competition. I know Patcher is wrong more often than not but i agreed with his opinion that wii-u or wiiHD should have happened back in 2010, when wii was still hot and would have gotten a lot of their casual fanbase buying the next machine
now wiiu is no where near as powerful as xbox one or ps4 and 3rd parties see no reason to invest into wiiu. Nintendo home consoles have a long history of not being able to sell 3rd party games dating 20 years back.
I don't think Nintendi is in any trouble but wiiu won't be able to compete with ps4/xbox one. It will be 3rd this gen and that's gonna be considered bad when last cycle wii sold 100 plus million
why isn't GTA5 on wiiu? that's only one of many big games not coming to wiiu and that has to change, Nintendo has a lot of money so why not pay 100 million for the game to be released same day on wiiu as ps3/xbox360 and all dlc exclusive for 30 days on wiiu
Nintendo needs to make a bold statement
also nintendo fans i hate the fact every time people bring up the concern wiiu has no games you guys say oh well all the exclusives are coming soon, well how could nintendo prepare so poorly and not have more 1st-2nd party games available already
also if sony or ms make one too many sequels its milking IP's yet we should be excited for mario kart 8 and SSB? why does the gaming media hold sony and ms to different standards and nintendo is given a free pass for basically making the same games year after year
I hope Nintendo fails badly with wiiu not because i hate nintendo but they need to open their damn eyes and join the gamers in 2013 instead of living 10 years back
titanfall
destiny
BF4
GTA5
witcher 3
these are some of the biggest games and none are coming out on wiiu
LOL he is exactly right here people. Writing is on the wall. This is another Gamecube and if you can't see that well then all the more power to you. Doesn't mean it won't have some nifty games.
