Wii U Launch is Stifled

Nintendo’s Iwata has been playing Russian roulette with both launches of the Wii U and Nintendo 3DS. He claims the mistakes on the 3DS launch will not be repeated. Nintendo has always taken calculated risks, but is Pikmin 3 really Nintendo’s flagship launch title for the Wii U? This is the most riskiest console launch yet. What has Iwata got up his sleeve?

leave nintendo alone already.. Let them do what they do & release it.. If ppl want those games, theyll buy it & if not, they wont.. Its up to them what is going to happen so bitching & crying isnt going to change anything.. Its all about the benjamins baby, theyre gonna put out what makes em money.. Whether it be casual, core, or whatever.. If it dont make dollaz, it dont make sense.. Im going to make a stand & not buy it because none of the games interest me but im not going to write article after article after article about them releasing these games.. Ignoring their presence & not buying into it will hurt them alot more than words..

PS3 is a monster now but take a look at launch titles:
-Resistance (in America)
-Ridge Racer (in Japan)

And that's it. PS3 had a very small number of significant titles at launch but now it's an extremely powerful device (speaking about software and hardware)

WiiU will have an even better launch lineup and people is bashing. I wonder why?

I don't undestand all the hate.

Next generation I will probably be happy with my PS4 + WiiU + PC combo and you guys can keep this console war stupidity away from me.

Im not saying its hopeless.. Im saying that just like everything else i buy, im going to wait til there is games i want for it.. Im not going to buy a system & hope it comes.. None of em interest me (at the moment) but im sure there will be some down the line.. When i see some new IPs & some exclusive 3rd party that I personally want, ill buy it in a heartbeat.. & ill have the same console u plan to buy except the PC.. I cant afford to upgrade & buy new hardware like that lol

its not their "Flagship", they have multiple flagships. New super Bros U, ZombiU, Rayman Legends, Assasin's Creed, Nintendoland, Just Dance 4, scribblenaughts, ect... These actually a pretty damn good launch

The Wii U Hunter...we all know how that movie ends

All Nintendo need to do is announce a new metroid or smash bros. Pikmin 3 is not enough.

U.S. patent examiner rejects Nintendo’s summoning characters patent as obvious: non-final ruling

The rejection is non-final (and even when such rejections are labeled as “final”, the process is far from over, given that there can be, at minimum, an appeal to the Federal Circuit).

Good, as they should! A game mechanic like that shouldn't be locked behind a patent, and Nintendo didn't invent it either.

PRIMORDUS38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

Nintendo wants to keep wasting money on bullshit lawsuits, real smart in this economy. They should put that money aside for other game projects. On the other hand, I don't care if they waste it all either, and they are screwed in the future maybe that will teach them a lesson.

Well dayum lol. Old agent orange pissing off every industry and nation.

0hMyGandhi63d ago

The fact that you have ANY disagrees will forever baffle me. And to the (apparent) MAGA contingent that exists on this website, enjoy your 8-9 dollar gas.

AuraAbjure63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

Yes, they had better be pissed after Trump told them the way they rip off the USA is over.

EveryPlatformGamer64d ago

LOL I read this on gaff, will they refund the money back to the gamers? highly unlikely. Didn't they just raise prices and pass it onto the gamers? Only Nintendo would send out the Ninjas to the US government.

-Foxtrot64d ago

That’s what I was thinking, imagine them winning hypothetically, getting a s**t load of money back which they would have lost if they hadn’t raised their prices and it’s business as normal.

It would just mean people paid more for no reason since they got the money back anyway.

Outside_ofthe_Box63d ago (Edited 63d ago )

A lot of companies partially passed the cost to consumers instead of all of it. They would still have to at least pay that back to gamers, but we know that won't happen. What's also sad is that prices won't come back down after the initial hike caused by tariffs.

People didn't understand the full repercussions of tariffs. That alone should have cost him the presidency if people knew it was a permanent price hike for consumers

Inverno64d ago

The people should sue these companies for having to over pay cause of these tariffs.

Eonjay64d ago

Naw they should sue the government for forcing the tax to begin with. No one reasonably expects these companies to absorb the taxes. Many smaller companies tried and were shut down or faced to increase prices to try to maintain their business. The tariffs effect everyone.

Inverno62d ago

I meant it mostly as a joke cause we all know the costs of these tariffs were passed onto the consumer. But it's seems no matter how vocal we are here in the states our "representatives" don't seem to care enough to represent us. And things are about to get worse.

Killer2020UK63d ago

The companies were doing what the law required then to do, the tariffs however were illegally implemented. Usually it's criminals we punish, you seem to have different ideas 🤷‍♂️
