Wii U: A Hard Sell?

There is a misguided consensus amongst quite a few that Nintendo are directly competing with Sony and Microsoft, which I personally believe they stopped attempting to do quite a few years ago: even if Nintendo themselves seem to forget this on occasion.

im sold on the wii u until ps4 comes out, i will be anticipating the next zelda and metroid.

I think it could very much be a hard sell. I think the majority of it depends on launch price though. Guess we'll find out!

If it is dirt cheap then it is worth it. If it is a reasonable/normal price I am going to wait until I see what the other two have to offer (might as well way up my options and not rush buy). Consoles are not cheap even if priced reasonably.

Summons754875d ago

That's the only thing I'm waiting for. They convinced me on the tablet controller, they covinced me with games I wanna play (big problem for me with the Wii had very few great games) now all that is left is the price. $250 is perfect, 300 would be okay.

beerkeg4875d ago

It's a first day buy for me.

tehpees34875d ago

Not really. People will buy it because of Nintendo's games. Nintendo have the easiest sales in the industry because of how big their franchises are.

It's an easy sell for people who enjoy Nintendo franchises

I got scared before reading the entire headline

Miraak82 50d ago

Ya scary , seems more like a talent acquisition more then anything , nothing IP related

repsahj50d ago

Great news! It's good to hear that they want to maintain the quality of the games on the Switch 2.

TheColbertinator49d ago

Makes sense to pick up developers with previous Nintendo focused history.

Gamersunite88049d ago

Good. I think they'll help with Splatoon 4 and some Pokemon games.

GOOD!!! Should have never been granted.

Profchaos73d ago

This is really an example of why custom games mechanics shouldn't be allowed to be patented.

Nobody wins we had thirty years of mini game free loading screens because of Namco having a patent

RedDevils73d ago

I don't know how those idiots managed to approve the patent.

lukasmain73d ago

About time the industry starting ganging up on Nintendo for some of their shit
