Look at the gamecube controller (what people have been using for over a decade for ssb) and tell me its not also crammed. The button layout on the wii u and 3ds are basically the same too.
And what do you mean "internet on the go"? Do you want it to have a 3g connection which wouldnt even be sufficient for a fighting game? In fact theres nintendo zones at every hotel i go to which gave me good enough connection to play mario kart, so its great for trips.
Wow nintendo's all over these charts!
This. As someone who preferred the ps2 and ps1 for their 3rd party libraries, a lot of people get confused when i say i preferred the 360 this gen. But when many of my favorite games this gen (lost planet, bioshock, bayonetta, orange box, amongst many others) run substantially worse or had very delayed releases on ps3, and when i dont play online and therefore dont pay for online, the 360 becomes my slightly preferred system on 3rd party alone.
Who says you cant disagree with an opinion? Why do people get so angry when people dont agree with them after they state which console they like most.
The vita had a hefty head start too, making it a worse seller than wii u. Sony needs to hurry up and push that thing, the ps4 is only gonna sell so many vitas.
I like how everyone agreed with this guy when he said the wii u is dead, but when he brings the vita into the comment OH NO he's wrong.
Typical n4g.
Bayonetta had a fairly sizeable marketing campaign, even had a fancy tv commercial in japan. It did well enough overseas but the over the top nature and emphasis on sexuality in the trailers didnt attract NA or EU.
And Vanquish wasnt any "weirder" than a lost planet game, everyone ive showed that game regardless of their preferred genre thinks its an awesome, unheard gem. It just had no marketing...
But it doesnt have much to do with Platinum. All creative, wacky jap...
Lol i thought kamiya was just trolling, and exagerating the nintendo direct formula.
Im almost afraid that the indie scene will be TOO crowded on wii u. They should better differentiate indie games on the wii u like the wii had its own "wiiware" section. Same with 3ds.
Why didnt they choose to announce this on the direct? Seems like a smarter move that way.
I would assume that would be made known through the direct and not a separate announcement.
With retro and platinum the wii u would have great second party material to contrast nintendo's own stuff. If wii u owners adopted platinum the same way n64 owners liked rare, or playstation owners bought naughty dog, platinum can survive, even thrive.
Because with platinum's current game sales they're going to end up like clover and eventually grasshopper manufacture. Great, wacky games, poor sales.
Yeah the wii u needs a no more heroes kind of game. One specifically made for the system, using its abilities.
And that game sold fairly well, better than most suda games, for the fact that it was exclusive to the then-unique wii.
I think turning a profit on the system is their definition of success. And even the worst selling nintendo console, (besides VB) the gamecube which only sold twice as much as the dreamcast despite being around 3 times as long, turned the company a profit.
From a gamer's perspective (or at least mine), it has to have enough games to satisfy the consumers, something for which the gamecube is also held high.
So even if the wii u sells 30-40 million units and comes out a dista...
How is this evidence of them "refashioning" themselves? Releasing hardcore RTS games, which have a dwindling market on consoles, on the same platforms theyve seen release on in the past makes sense. They have all the core franchises like PSO and sonic still on console.
If the vita only cost 150 bucks to make they wouldve dropped the price a LONG time ago. Those 100 bucks arent worth the sales the system is making.
I doubt nintendo or sony would make an original, built from the ground up game on anything other than their own hardware, for this exact reason. If (big if) anything, nintendo would just throw old mario bros games on the appstore and make loads as well as increase the audience for the new mario games exclusive to their systems. Sony hasnt been around as long so i dont see them selling playstation games outside of psn because theyre too big and complex for phones.
To those tha...
I remember reading that the wii u in its first year is getting more 3rd party games than any other nintendo console had in its first year (gamecube was close, both were around 40-50 games). Beyond quanitity, the quality is good too. 3 sonic game deal with sega, 2 games with platinum, the atlus collaboration, and thats all by the end 2014.
The wii u seriously needs cross game chat, imo.

Gotta love when people cherry pick on vgchartz. Doesnt support argument = vgchartz is unreliable/biased. To support argument= oh yeah? Look at these numbers.
