Could Wii U be Saved?

We've been hearing these complaints for a while now: where is all the software for Wii U? After they spoke up and showed off some new games in their E3 Nintendo Direct conference, do you think Nintendo will be able to save their console?

My Wii U is unfortunately collecting dust at the moment, but I think some people won't be able to resist buying those beloved first-party titles.

I want Mario Kart and Donkey Korn

BananaEatingSquid4708d ago

Donkey Korn is especially delicious with a little butter.

.... You alright? ;)

live2play4708d ago

I prefer my donkey korn in a cup

Animavicion4708d ago (Edited 4708d ago )

over time, "nintendo" get more public thanks to their first-party titles.

Triforce0794708d ago

Every console ive ever owned collects dust not 1 console in its early life has say 4 or 5 games that you play all the time normally its 1 or 2,even if you do buy 5 u only play the hell out of 2 then after about 3 months you need more content ???? its not a wii thing it happened to 360,ps3,wii,3ds,vita,and now wiiu big deal its exclusives that sell hardware in the end.

Plus the internet needs to stop trying to make wiiu fail it wont happen so just wait for the holiday season and see what happens because we don't know how well ps4 and xbox one will do yet ??? plus i'm intrigued to see what these unannounced 3rd party games are that Iwata said are in development,and some 3rd party games that have already been announced are also in development maybe a TGS reveal for Ghosts ect as wiiu is selling in japan ?

I love nintendo, it doesn't need to be shaved

BananaEatingSquid4708d ago

Its beard has gotten pretty epic.

InMyOpinion4708d ago (Edited 4708d ago )

Nintendo are serving up a delicious plate of shaved korn for us gamers.

Chard4708d ago (Edited 4708d ago )

Sony and Microsoft have disappointed me with their shaved korn policies, or lack thereof.

NoonEEE4708d ago

I agree, Nintendo doesn't need to be shaved. As a matter of fact, they need to put a little more effort into growing their beard.

MegaLagann4708d ago

I mean every now and then you need to trim, can't let it go all wild. I did that once and it looked like a mess. Always remember it looks better well kept.

QSPR4708d ago (Edited 4708d ago )

you guys made my day!! tears in my eyes :')
bubble up to all.

live2play4708d ago (Edited 4708d ago )

Well I personally like when korn gets stuck in the beard. Because later on when you notice it, you can eat it and its like second lunch

LOL_WUT4708d ago

Just, stop please.

Nintendo needs a price cut the games are coming next year. ;)

PopRocks3594708d ago

Actually you're wrong, six of them are coming out this year.

greenlantern28144708d ago

well they are losing money.
they have not done anything to market the wiiu i still know people that are like when is the wiiu coming out. or why would i buy a 350$ accessory to the wii i paid 150$ for. the fact is beside a few die hard nintendo fans the wii sold largely to casual gamers and that market has gone to tablets and smart phones. and if they dont do something like drop the price and increase the hd size and i dont know advertise the wiiu than its problems will just get worse when xb1 and ps4 come out

Wii U may be doomed but I love minecraft and Mario 3D World

Kevlar0094708d ago

Minecraft on WiiU would feel so perfect, it's all there on the gamepad.

Too bad the politics behind it are too complicated atm (what with MS exclusive deal on consoles and everything)

Animavicion4708d ago (Edited 4708d ago )

Save??, Not like that was having sales of "OnLive" or "ouya" ...

Vinc3604708d ago

You've gotta admit that while it's nowhere near these levels, it still looks pretty grim right now for the Wii U. Nintendo will somewhat save it from irrelevance with first party games, but I doubt third parties are coming back. That's very bad news for Nintendo.

Vinc3604708d ago

At least the Wii U is not always online.

BananaEatingSquid4708d ago

Thankfully neither is PS4 or, because Microsoft recently backtracked, Xbox One! Anyone think we'll be seeing always online consoles in the gen AFTER next-gen? Ha

jcnba284708d ago

Yeah but you still have to pay for online so...

greenlantern28144708d ago

and neither is any other console xb1 changed that policy.

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.

PRIMORDUS40d ago (Edited 40d 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.

0hMyGandhi65d 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.

AuraAbjure64d ago (Edited 64d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer66d 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.

-Foxtrot65d 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_Box65d ago (Edited 65d 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

Inverno65d ago

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

Eonjay65d 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.

Inverno64d 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.

Killer2020UK64d 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 🤷‍♂️
