Nintendo Losing Money On The Wii U?

Times.com recently did an article on Ninendo representative and CEO Saturo Iwata confirming that the Wii U is still operating at a loss and is considered a failure by Nintendo's upper brass!.

There has been considerable debate on the subject but honestly the company can blame hardcore titles like GTA V for the consoles continued losses but the fact still remains that this generation has only just started and Nintendo could save their reputation by conforming to the needs of the consumer.

In my latest video i suggest some improvements for the Wii U and how Nintendo could use this as a way to booster its faltering sales.

Stop with these anti-nintendo articles. These sites are taking advantage of a overly blown situation. Nintendo has been in worse situations and has come out on top every time. Stop with the click bait articles because when Nintendo ends up succeeding there will never be this amount of article about it's success.

how about an article about how bad motion sensing gaming is, or how its time has past, no one wants to play these games with motion sensing unless its just dance or wiifit. Anyways Nintendo needs to go back to making couch potato consoles

mrbojingles3742d ago

Yea, they should totally make a console that doesn't ship with a Wii remote and has all the buttons of a regular controller! Heck, and they should put a screen in the controller so we can play in our beds when the TV is off! Making it a couch and bed potato console! /end sarcasm

Nintendo has made it's own bed. They stumble around in the dark not knowing it's 2014.

They deserve to be in a world of pain right now. So hopefully they will take action and come back harder and stronger then ever.

Because we need a gaming company like Nintendo in the gaming world. They have some of the best gaming experiences in their genera. And something all children should experience.

Oh wow, I'm not one to judge but that site's (blog) background is crazy odd. MySpace 2005 called they want their look back.

I think it's better to leave games like AC: Amiibo Festival and Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash forgotten on the Wii U. Best case, they are mediocre games; worse case, they are very bad. It was a dark time for the Wii U, and the first only exists to sell Amiibo cards, whereas the second was put together in a couple of months with a shoestring budget, and it shows.

The rest of the list does have some really cool games, though. I would love to see a remake of Star Fox Zero with decent controls, and Xenoblade X doesn't require that much modification to work.

How would XCX work without dual screens functionality?

Cacabunga1d 21h ago

Same as Paper Mario color splash. One of the best wiiu games and getting even better with dual screen. Same reason why i prefer Splatoon 1

Profchaos1d 21h ago

This article leaves out Nintendo's most controversial game to date devils Third.
I personally found the cover system really fun in that one compared to at the time most fps games completely lacking one.

Stevonidas1d 20h ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

They should remake Starfox to the switch 2. Very beautiful game during gamecube days.

Chocoburger1d 15h ago

Kirby is always ignored or forgotten by people, so good to see it mentioned here.
Play Kirby Canvas Curse on DS, and then play Rainbow Curse on Wii U, they're really fun and unique 'platformers' without any actual jumping.

BG3 has won everything possible. It's insane.

TGG_overlord2d ago

That's right, well, BG3 deserved it imo.

anast1d 23h ago

It's definitely a game of the generation if not all time.

InUrFoxHole1d 23h ago
