Gloom and Nintendoom

Another week, and another stack of stories that spell calamitous trouble for Nintendo's Wii U. This video parses the news, offers reasonable ways for Nintendo to turn it around, and shoots down some of the ridiculous suggestions made by others.

The Gamecube utterly failed and Nintendo responded with the most lucrative console ever made. Nintendo isn't going anywhere.

gedden74678d ago

People HATE the truth and wont even comment on a GREAT point! Because they can't and sound sane..

ritsuka6664678d ago

The biggest thing against the Gamecube was the sheer number of titles that the PS2 had. Technologically it was superior to the PS2.Like any Nintendo system the games that were great on it, were some of the greatest of all time.

TwistedMetal4678d ago

you cant be superior to the ps2 without dvds or dvd movie playback and the gamecube had neither and the xbox needed an add on to play dvd movies that's why they both got blasted on top of the ps2 awesome amount of games.

The Gamecube was disappointing sales-wise but "failed" is a bit harsh (in my opinion). Sure it was overlooked for many AAA multiplatform games but there's still some excellent games available and more to the point - Nintendo still made a sizeable profit off of the console.

Can we settle for "The Gamecube failed to meet it's potential" and leave it at that? ;)

FanboyCrusher4678d ago

I was talking pure sales, and business. Gamecube messed up on everything, but had some great games on it. I spent days playing Smash Bros competitively with a bunch of people.

well....ill buy one when I see:

new zelda
3d mario
F zero
metroid
starfox
some new IP that is not so....well you guys know what I mean.

Though I am tempted to buy one for the virtual console. I just dont feel like I need to buy one "right now". but it will happen.

Martywren4678d ago (Edited 4678d ago )

All ninty got too do is try too invest more in new ip for the wii u, maybe talk too crytex to make a game using cryengine3 or epic using ue4 too promote the wii u. Im looking forward to bayonetta 2 and monolith X rpg game. Wii u have potential to be a great console but ninty need too slow down with the mario games too much investment in that franchise he needs a break, i get burnout by to many mario games.

josephayal4678d ago

i decided to give up on wanting to purchase a Wii U, The Wii U needs better games and a price-cut in my honest opinion

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.

PRIMORDUS57d ago (Edited 57d 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.

0hMyGandhi82d 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.

AuraAbjure82d ago (Edited 82d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer83d 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.

-Foxtrot83d 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_Box82d ago (Edited 82d 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

Inverno83d ago

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

Eonjay82d 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.

Inverno81d 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.

Killer2020UK81d 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 🤷‍♂️
