How the Nintendo Wii U Failed

The Wii U was a mess in every possible way. The launch was a nightmare, with a dreadful name that no one seemingly liked. The marketing failed to land, as well. You name it. The Wii U couldn’t get a break.

One other problem it had is that for some freaking reason, an external HD needed its own power source, or you would need to buy a Y usb cable, so you could connect it to both USB ports on the console. Such a stupid decision.
I did enjoy Wii U's games, but geez, it was truly a complete trainwreck...

Bad design and stupid games

TheEnigma313415d ago

It's very simple; the name. It confused many casuals who all bought the wii. One coworker i had said "I already have a wii, i need the U part" . Console should have had a different name and not try to ride the wii wave.

I agree. I knew sooooo many people that didn't buy the Wii U because they thought it was just a video gamepad for the Wii. They has no idea it was an entirely new system.

Nintendo's arrogance caught up to them. They deserved their hardship then.

Still one of my favorite console.

Cannot commit the time. :/

The nice thing about X is you have a Follow Ball. If you haven't played for a few days it will help you jump right back in! Fantastic game! You should at least have 5 initial hours over 2 days or so to invest. I also suggest grinding to at least level 14 before chapter 3.

It's nice that definitive edition makes level grinding easier. Quite a bit quicker than the original release.

I bought it thinking it was like the trilogy and expansion on Switch. I played it for 15 or so hours and stopped. Couldn't get into it, the gameplay was not like the previous ones, it was not what I expected.😕

I bought it on the Wii U years ago and couldn’t get into it too 🙁

PRIMORDUS7d ago

I feel ya, sucks cause I wanted to like it, I tried.

Greatest RPG ever except end game makes it impossible to complete for anyone who focused on mech battles. Do not focus on mechs or you will be disappointed

Surprised Agro (Shadow of the Colossus) didn't make the cut.
