Still mad Nintendo never bothered to give the console a discount before giving it the boot

Moonman2059d ago

They were making a profit (probably a good one towards year 3 and 4) so they never cut price. But of course I agree with you from a consumer standpoint. I reminisce on those GameCube $99.99 commercials....haha. I still can't believe I only paid $99 for my GameCube which I STILL love.

porkChop2059d ago

The Wii U caused a lot of damage to their brand and their stock value. They might have been trying to recoup as much of their losses as possible. A discount would have been nice though.

princejb1342058d ago

The wii caused a lot of damaged. It sold a lot because of the gimmick but ones you own it, it just wasn't what the hype was about

Sgt_Slaughter2058d ago

That's just a Japanese company's way of dealing with "failures", they don't sell them for less they just pull everything back.

Sony dropped the price for PS3 after abandoning PS2 bc.

Sgt_Slaughter2058d ago

PS3 wasn't a failure though, my point still stands

Kados2058d ago

"System Stability" aka Anti-CFW patch.

SockeyBoy2058d ago

pretty much, didn't do too much though. Browser exploit still works too

traumadisaster2058d ago

What's the best way to get a wii U tablet replacement? So expensive on ebay

Profchaos2058d ago

Purely a anti piracy patch I think

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?

Cacabunga3d 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

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.

Stevonidas3d ago

Devil's Third is HIGHLY underrated.

repsahj3d ago

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

Chocoburger2d 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.
