They should do exactly as Microsoft offered with the 360 and have an entry level Arcade and then a Pro version. Pro being the black WiiU of course with a host of other features such as a 250GB usb hdd, Wiimote+ w/nunchuk, and pre loaded digital copy of NSMB-U and say NG3 since Nintendo is publishing that game as well.

"Pro being the black WiiU of course"

Why is the pro version being black such an obvious thing to you? Plenty of "pro" or "hardcore" gamers like the white Wii U. Same with casual, many prefer a black one.

RACIST PROFILING RIGHT HERE.
SH.T JUST GOT REALLLLLSZZZZ.

Because black in any form of electronics always projects a more serious tone. Which is why the Wii launched in white, because it presented a more inviting and less intense approach. Its called market research!

Ok the perfect bundle (IMO) would be the black Wii U with more internal storage maybe 60GB? ;) 1 pro Controller, 2 Wii Gamepads, and a game, preferably one of the following: Nintendoland, New Super Mario Bros. U, or Zombie U. That I could go for :D Although the internal storage seems unlikely a good replacement like a decent sized SD card would be nice, but sadly also doubtful. Just have to get that separate I guess. :p As for the price... I guess we'll have to wait and find out.

umm... Why not just let Colorware handle coloring it? Mix it up any color you want. Well pretty much. :P

The problem is then the lowest common denominator machine becomes the platform to which all games must be developed.

How many games has this neutered for the 360?

000014344d ago

as long as i can get a black Wii U and Nintendo land or Super Mario Bros. bundle.

000014344d ago

once you go black...you realize you bought the best version of Wii U...unless they make the see through version of the consoles like back in N64 days lol.

CouldHaveYelledUiiW4344d ago

Just want a Black Wii U Game Pad for launch.
I realise that the white may be better for some but the lit Black WiiU is Sexy.

I don't need Wii-motes or a Balance Scale and I don't need the game. I would be 100% happy with the most stripped down version possible.

I doubt that they go the different sized Hard drive SKU route. I think that the 8 GB Flash hd is probably right. I'll just buy a cheap USB Ext Hard Drive (if I need more than 8GBs).

WeskerChildReborned4344d ago

I want a black one too cause it just look's sexy.

akaakaaka4344d ago

that sound so g@y "unless your a women off course"

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

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."

RiseNShine16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

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.

gold_drake16d ago (Edited 16d ago )

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno16d ago

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.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

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."
