Gimme Gimme Games writes that cutting the Wii U's price along side a major first party release like Pikmin 3 would have been a good idea but it doesn't appear to be happening. They suggest other first party games that could be coupled with a price cut to increase Wii U sales.
Major 2023 game anniversaries include The World Ends With You, Mario Kart Wii, and The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker, among many others
Delays have become more common lately and several games have not been improved by it. Does delaying games work out better for Nintendo?
it depends, if you have a strong leadership, vision and focus for the project or game, delays can help alot because the person in charge knows what it needs to realize the task, but if you don't have that, delays could completely destroy your game, take for example Cyberpunk terrible management and end result, it wouldn't matter if they delayed the game even more cause the issue here is not time is the horrid management.
"but a rushed game is forever bad"
~ not in these days of day1 patches, subsequent hotfixes and continued updates.
And the over-reliance on these conveniences has given rise to sub-par deliveries.
“A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad.” To bad they didn't listen with Cyberpunk now look at it. Honestly I like a game that is pushed back work out all the kinks maybe add new things to the game. I don't liked rushed games pushed out the door call it done for the holiday sales. I also don't like remakes that have half the content cut and sold at full price like RE3 remake. I will gladly wait for a game that is not rushed and had the extra time worked on it it shows they actually cared for the game when making it. I can understand minor bugs and a few updates to correct the bugs but unlike Cyberpunk you patch as you go I hate.
The Pikmin 3 Wii U version has reappeared on the NIntendo eShop following its removal from the store after the announcement of Pikmin 3 Deluxe for the Nintendo Switch.
That would have been a bold but good move. Nintendo really need to cut the price now before the launch of two new systems over shadows the price cut (launching any system gets attention. A price cut a month before a new console release is a bad move. They need that big unit increase that comes with price cuts
Why would nintendo cut their price, when it's the cheapest of the the three next gen consoles?
I would like to get a Wii U for kids and family. I just come to the conclusion each time I think about it, that it comes too close in price to the PS4. It also is right around the same price as a new tablet, and there sure are a lot of inexpensive apps for the kids on tablets. Too many options clouding the purchase intent right now.
who says they wont? They do have a earnings conference tommorow
No need for the price cut, not yet. Keep selling at this price as long as possible Nintendo, then at the last second drop the discount bomb.
