"The Wii U has not been the success that Nintendo hoped it would be. The reasons for this have been debated, ranging from consumers getting tired with older Nintendo franchises to people wondering if the product was branded poorly. My personal response to these two claims: no, people are not tired of old Nintendo franchises; and yes, the Wii U has suffered from poor branding. However, I would argue that Nintendo does deserve your hard earned dollars in 2014."

Sony had the best one in Mod Nation Racers on PS3. That was a fantastic kart racer with great creation tools that allowed you to create/customize characters, vehicles, and tracks! Plus I liked that the game gave you the choice to expend power ups as either weapons, shields, or speed boost. It added an element of strategy not typically found in other Kart Racers. I would LOVE for Sony to bring that IP back!

If they were really serious, they wouldn't have named the WiiU after a system that they knew was abandoned by the hardcore gaming community. They gambled that the tablet controller would've sold to many of the families that wanted or already owned an iPad and it didn't pay off. And those tablets can go anywhere, and they do everything. You stopped competing after GameCube, which is why Wii went in a totally different direction. And now you're wondering why gamers don't take you seriously?
Sony and MS played it smart... stick with a name that works.
If you want us to take you seriously, get hip with the times.
These games only appeal to the Nintendo fanbase.
Nintendo just needs to release games on a monthly basis, develop a better marketing team, and learn how to get along with 3rd parties. Now that DK has been released, Wii U owners will have to wait 3 months for the next game: Mario Kart 8. That is worrying.
On the flip side, they have plenty of time to save money for future Wii U games, Maybe a collection of future Wii U games.
