Nintendos a great company with some of the best ips to ever grace a gaming console, but they need third party support. I dont get why some ppl say nintendo doesn't need 3rd party support because every console needs 3rd party publishers to fill in the gaps and keep a steady stream of games flowing. Wii u may be weaker but they can still remain relevant with a price cut and a good game line up that doesn't disappoint. I personally think 3rd party is crucial to having a well rounded sy...
Im disappointed in nintendo, but to say miyamoto is ruining them is an idiotic statement. The man has created some of the most recognizable and iconic games that exist today. Mario is arguably as recognizable as mickey mouse is to ppl. I respect Iwata but i do think they need to figure out exactly where there going and what they wana achieve out of the wii u. There is one thing ive learned about nintendo tho, "never underestimate them with the 30 plus yrs exp in gaming they have".
I want nintendo to succeed this gen. Im just worried that with ps4 only 50 bucks more that ppl will overlook nintendo. Like i said im not a nintendo hater nor am i a fanboy. I can recognize their strengths and their flaws. Even the most avid fan has to admit that they been struggling as of late. So to set the record straight i love nintendo games but im not blind to the tuff spot they have gotten themselfs in either.
Im very dissapointed in the big N myself. I hear ppl say "oh wow mario and donkey kong looks great". Yea they do, but i was wanting a different game than donkey kong like a new ip for instance. With 2010 tech and a 32gb hdd, the wii u is not a good value when the ps4 is only 50 bucks more. I dont care how u spin it, "the ps4 is the smart consumer choice". Superior hardware,8cores,awesome cpu gpu,500gb hd,bluray player, and massive 3rd party support. I like nintendo alot be...

Im at a loss for words really since e3. Hell i think alota nintendo fans are to be honest. I kept hearing ppl say nintendo was gonna bring out the big guns and they had aces up their sleeves. I admit i even thought they would have some better games to show off. With ps4 being only 50 dollars more why buy a wii u unless your a die hard ninty fan. I love nintendo and grew up on their games but ps4 is a way better buy for only 50 bucks difference. I mean 500gb hd vs 32gb with inferior hardware w...
I honestly think sony will do the best this gen after seeing the xbox one presentation. I think nintendo will be a close 2nd to sony. I think nintendos got some heavy hitting games up their sleeve that alota ppl who aren't even fans will want one as a secondary console. I never really thought id say this but microsoft has went way more the casual route than nintendo ever did. With a nice price point and some great games coming i think nintendo will be fine. Sony also has some of the best...
Hating nintendo is like a trend these days. If you have faith it can sell decently and support it then your a fanboy in the eyes of many. People think nintendo is casual and more aimed at entertainment for kids. They also say nintendo turned their backs on the hardcore gamers. My question is will you resent microsoft for making xbox one more of an entertainment hub than a gaming console? The same ppl who slam wii u for poor sales praise and have faith in the ps vita. Its sold poorly for a lon...
I myself am really optimistic for retros game. To be honest I think it will help turn the tides on ppls opinion of the wii u thus far. I own all last gen systems and still game a lot on them as well, but I'm excited for the ps4 and nintendos new console. Personally I think the wii u was sentenced to death before the trial ever started. Six months isn't near enough time for ppl to be juding a newly launched machine that devs haven't even had the chance to push hard yet. IMHO in tim...
There's resoning behind nintendos game drought. They been saving their heavy hitters for E3 and the holiday season to stay competitive and relevant. The wii u is already on shelves for purchase and in homes. No mystery there so they need the big ips to stay in the game and have that edge this holiday season. I'm sure ps4 and 720 will have good games available at launch and nintendo knows this. There's great games coming this holiday and in 2014. What worries me is 2015 and after...
@ tito
You said anyone could of saved the industry even sega huh? Well your a true idiot cause sega couldn't even save themselves, much less the industry. People like u make me sick you never give nintendo credit for any of the great things they've done to get gaming where it is today. So YES, nintendo not only saved gaming but they paved they way with the nes system. They do some dumb shit that makes me scratch my head and ask " what the fuck are you doing nintendo?&quo...
,Nintendo has flaws and they make mistakes I'll admit. Why do some people care what nintendos doing with consoles if you don't like them anyway? Are you mad because they didn't make the wii u the way you wanted them to? They make consoles to make a profit plain and simple. If you don't like it don't buy it. I don't understand the whole bashing systems deal. If I don't like a system I don't buy it period. Everyone has the right to their own tastes in games and c...
Wii u will be fine I think. They won't have as many 3rd party heavy hitters as ps4 or 720 tho. I really believe the wii u will produce some great looking first party titles. I'm not saying mario will save the day but I think when the wii u shows a game that looks stellar people will come around. I'm looking forward to a new zelda and I'm sure it will be better than any zelda before it.
EA has earned a reputation for being a shady company even before the origin fall out. I don't see the big deal if certain games skip the wii u. I mean all of the best nintendo titles always are exclusive. Maybe its just me but I plan on owning a ps4 and a wii u. That way I have the best of both worlds because if a game skips wii u it will most likely be on ps4. People often forget real gamers don't care what system they play a gameo long as its a great game. Nintendo may be weaker tha...
I really don't understand why ppl compare nintendo to sega. Why do ppl say that nintendo will be like sega? If you been gaming since the mid 80s or early 90s then you would know that nintendo and sega aren't even close to comparison. Sega was a great system imo, but the lost millions on several consoles which ultimately led to there demise. Nintendo just sold a 100 million wii units at a profit from day one. So you can imagine the money the pocketed last gen. Nintendo paniced and rush...
When it comes to great classic first party ips nintendo can deliver some nice quality games. With that being said its sad that in order for me to be able to play upcoming titles im really looking forward too ill have to buy either ps4 or 720. I doubt nintendo will get gta5,witcher3,dragon age3,etc.... So i do see peoples side who complain about missing alota great 3rd party titles. Ive always said i dont like senseless nintendo hate, but they have brought some of this on themselves. My bigges...
Games have evovled tremendously since the atari 2600 I owned when I was a kid. I worry about the gaming industry as a whole. Nintendo has made many questionable decisions over the years. Even as a fan of nintendo I can't deny that. Nintendo made their first video game in 1978. There an old company and maybe they are out of touch with what gamers want today. I don't know nintendos future and don't claim to either. Were at a point where graphics are almost maxxed out. Unless you wan...
10 yr old playmaye huh? If My writing bothers you then don't read it because this is a game web site so my punctuality isn't really needed. Maybe if you weren't so fucking stupid you could read between the lines. Oh and as for your crude comment you probably live in your moms basement and the closest thin you ever had to sex was a WOW experience. So don't be an internet gangster and cowardly cut ppl down while hiding behind the safety of your computer. Oh and yeah I'm tal...
I agree with brewin 100 percent. Nintendos off to a slow start but enough already with the doom and dire straights articles. Its flame bait period. Every new console has a fucked up start. Xbox 360 had terrible quality hardware at first rrod plauged many consoles at launch and well after launch for that matter. Sony had a rough start with ps3 because of pricing and the cell processer was difficult to devs. Sony just started making profit not long ago at the end of its cycle and look at ps3 no...
I know nintendo has always relied on their own games to move units. It seems tho as if their heavy hitters don't have the same selling power they use to. Id be willing to bet 80 percent or more of nintys fan base are ppl my age from early 20s to mid to late 30s. It seems as if each generation of kids grows less interested in nintendo and mario, and have turned to playstation and xbox. Im not saying mario is a bad game, but i mean whats really different about 3d mario besides his cat suit...
