Concerns over the Wii U and Nintendo grew with the latest earnings report from the venerable game company. The results were well below expectations and Nintendo’s original guidance, and analyst Michael Pachter characterized the recent Wii U sales as “abysmal.” Nintendo’s revenue for the quarter was $833 million, well below the estimate of $1.19 billion. Hardware sales were off for the 3DS (only 1.4 million units, below the estimate of 2 million) and the Wii U sold only 160,000 units worldwide over the past three months – 90,000 in Japan, 60,000 in the US and 10,000 in the UK. The Wii U has sold 3.6 million units worldwide since its introduction last year.

VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Is Ocarina of Time as legendary as I remembered it? For the most part, yes. In spite of a handful of missteps — a few obtuse puzzles, some tedious backtracking, and a clunky stealth sequence — I don't believe the last 23 years have been unkind to it. Ocarina remains a brilliant example of the medium, a landmark game that shaped the future of its own franchise and 3D gaming in general. After more than two decades it retains its inventive dungeon design, challenging puzzles, dynamic combat, wistful storyline, unforgettable music, and empowering open-air freedom. I feel confident calling it one of the greatest games of the fifth generation, even if I'm no longer prepared to list it among the five best games ever made."
Pure unadulterated fun. They don't make them like this anymore...especially not the triple A industry.
Back when video rental was a thing, I rented out Majoria's Mask, I never finished it though. I did buy the 3DS version before the eshop shutdown, so maybe one day I'll finally play through the whole thing, it's amazing how well these games hold up though. I briefly played Ocarina of Time for a while and it was really fun.

With articles like these cant you tag the games mentioned so that we can know ahead of time if there’s a spoiler to avoid?
Not clicking on your article otherwise.
It's still way too early for all of this speculation.
How many times has Nintendo been counted out?
Since the early 90's?
same old song and dance
...moving on...
I like how the photo provided is of a variant of Wii U they discontinued, seems fitting.
I dont hate rival companies, nor do I want to see them fail or go under.
I just wanna see them get their crap together. Stop making bad business decisions. Stop with the bad PR. Stop ignoring consumer feedback in favor of what THEY wanna do. Keep up with the Jonses. If you KNOW that your competitors are gearing up for the next gen and are in R&D...you better get with the times and follow suit with something on equal grounds. Stop riding on the coattails of past gimmicks. Stop trying to invent new gimmicks. Stop trying to screw your fans and consumers over with orwelian policies and practices. Dont try to FORCE your vision of YOUR future onto us. Maybe we dont like your vision...or your future. Stop trying to limit our choices and liberties.
And dont you ever...EVER...try to shove mandatory DRM restrictions on us again!
And above all - We can make or brake you any time we want. DONT EVER FORGET THAT.
Wii U is a great system, but it seems that most publishers are not interested in making games for it.. Only Ubisoft.
EA is one dumb publisher, hating the system... Fortunately Activision is committed in supporting Nintendo all the way, I would say that they have earned my respect.
Wii U will be saved when it becomes hackable. It was the same thing with the Wii.
