The WiiU's Identity Crisis

KHooLz writes: "The Nintendo Wii will be marking its 5th year this November. The Wii's take on controlling games has endured mixed opinions, both good and bad. No one can deny the impact the console has had on the gaming industry. A wider audience of people are playing games and the ability to be able to pick up and play a game without investing a considerable amount of time is somewhat of a nod to classic games we had in the past."

I think the WiiU might be a fail.

tehReaper5432d ago

I don't think it will fail, but Nintendo has a long road ahead of them in terms of satisfying the hardcore. They have the right franchises, they just need to implement them in the right ways.

catch yourself on u CLOWN , how will a machine with better visuals and more refined and powerfull hardware better than the current gen be a fail , also the first console with an open network allowing developers a free run to do what they want, not to mention the second screen allowing for a far more inviting gameplay experience in FPS games. stop being a hater fanboy and realise that this machine will be inviting to gamers, i own all consoles aswell as a top end pc and im still excited about what the wiiU has to offer its sounding good

Hifist15432d ago

No, Wii U sounds like piece of shit to be honest. Controller looks clunky and i don't really care about Ninty's exclusives. So what's there for me? Nothing.

Achtung5432d ago

what about the ps4 being all kinecty...

now that's messed up.

jacksonmichael5432d ago

There is something in this video I want people to hear... http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I specifically mean the part about exclusives being irrelevant if they aren't the type of game you like. Because really, that's all you're saying.

jacen1005432d ago (Edited 5432d ago )

ok fanboy comment there i will over look that

charmer5432d ago

the wiiu will be number 1 this next generation..thats almost guaranteed with what it has to offer.. but im sure sony is the lab copying and microsoft is not far behing

jacen1005432d ago

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.

PRIMORDUS56d ago (Edited 56d 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.

0hMyGandhi81d 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.

AuraAbjure81d ago (Edited 81d ago )

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

EveryPlatformGamer82d 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.

-Foxtrot82d 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

Inverno82d 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 🤷‍♂️
