This has nothing to do with Sony. I didn't say this was the worst console transition of all time. Yes the Vita is a flop among flops..But that's neither here nor there. Yes the transition from PS2-3 was a colossal fuck up. Again, this is neither here nor there.
I am a consumer, and as consumers we have the ultimate say so. And the games are obviously not resonating with the mainstream consumers of which I am one. But lets be honest here, what makes more sense, Pikmin ...
The transition from Wii-Wii U has been a colossal fuck up. Compound this with certain questionable software decisions, meaning green lighting games that are not hardware pushers and I think this disapproval rating is justified and accurate.
However, having the developers have ratings in the 90's isn't fair either.
Pikmin 3, WWHD are not the games that should be made at this point. As they aren't killer apps for the masses.

The Gamepad seems like an albatross around the Wii U's neck. Many games don't see the appeal in a big bulky controller with a touch screen in the middle. Many Wii owners loved the Wii Mote for its intuitive and ease of use. And so a dual analogue, big bulky, touch screened controller is the opposite of appealing for them.
Unless Nintendo makes a Gamepad lite or the best case scenario, make it optional for consumers, I don't see it becoming mainstream. Hell most g...
With this guys reviews. MK8 Looks fantastic, but Nintendo has drifted further and further apart from the simple go kart racing in the Mushroom Kingdom and instead has thrown in things that have no business there. Anti Gravity? Just make an F-Zero game eventually if you want to play with that mechanic. It just seems so out of place.
Mario 3D World looks like crap. Nintendo seems to want to fuse 2D and 3D Mario together, and this isn't want ANY fan of the respective series...
LoL.
The Artwork looks great for this game. Very reminiscent of the NES art.
You're making up words to describe me? A new Nintendrone? wth is that?
I chastise them for putting gimmicks in games that don't belong there. Do Trains belong in Zelda? Does a Watergun backpack belong in Mario? Do hovering Karts on upside down tracks belong in Mario Kart? How am I defending Nintendo? I'm being critical of them. But I also see the accusation of Nintendo 'milking' franchises as bs as the ENTIRE INDUSTRY does the same thing.
...
New ip talk is pretty much bs. How many CoD's Halo's, God of Wars, AC's, Uncharted's do we get in one gen? How many Mario Karts or Smash Bros. games do we get in a generation?
Nintendo has a host of strong ip's they could bring out.
The fact is, people like established franchises..nothing wrong with that. But this is something that is not unique to Nintendo, as stated above by the amount of games other companies release.
...
The TP artstyle fit Zelda perfectly.
Sidar. No online multiplayer was bad back in 2009 for NSMB Wii and DKC, but not having online multiplayer in 2013 is not only baffling but embarrassing.
I was pist they didn't have that for NSMBU, I've no desire to play 3D world, but not having online mp for that game is an archaic decision. I'm safe in assuming DKC for Wii U will be with out an online mode. What the hell is this? And some of you guys are DEFENDING such practices?
F* that. I'...
WW art style was polarizing and one of the worst things to come to the franchise since Tingle.
Is that different than what happened during the 7th gen? LoL.
Isn't exactly rolling in the dough are they?
More vested in making sure the PS4 gets on solid footing than trying to save the Vita.
Is lost right now. They are basically making games to entertain themselves as opposed to the gaming masses. They are shoehorning gimmicky ideas and leveraging those gimmicks with their established series. Mainly because on their own, these gimmicks can't stand on their merits.
MK8 looks like an F-Zero wannabe; Why not make a great MK game and then make a great F-Zero game?
In any case, Nintendo is only interested in new gameplay ideas, not fresh content...
Xbone is a giant reach on consumer rights, and is completely off my purchasing radar.
Has a point. Nearly every game showed (every?) can be played with multiple control options, Wii Mote + Nunchuck, Pro Controller etc. It makes you wonder why the Gamepad is being mandated. If I don't like the Gamepad, does the Wii U become useless to me? Am I able to navigate the OS with the Pro Controller, WiiMote?
I'd say it might be time to make the Gamepad optional and start bundling Pro Controllers/Wii Mote+ Wireless Nunchucks. This has been a terrible path for N...
Maybe make your console Gamepad-less for $100 less.
This will get ugly.
Are you? Do you remember Mario Kart on SNES? That was simple go kart racing. Anti Gravity is not something that makes a lot of sense in the Mario Kart Universe.
As for M3DW, I could careless about other playtests from a gaming media with less credibility than fox news. Trust my own judgement thanks.
Its fine to have an open mind, but theres certain expectations that come with established games franchises. Mario with a water gun back pack was lame, two peopl...
