It will carve out its own niche by being the only home console for the eighth generation with Nintendo games on it.
"There's nothing new on the Wii U except games that are new that don't prove my point. Excuse me while I play FPS #3012 and sports title #7030 on the new consoles and the current gen consoles because those are definitely something 'new.'"
That's what I took your post as.
The 13 disagrees prove to me that some supposed "gamers" in this industry would rather see a console they don't like do bad even though it would not be good for the industry they are supposed to love. Absolutely shameful.
Exactly what is wrong with hearing good things about the Wii U? Does it make the haters' sphincters bleed? Does it make them cry like the children they are? And yes, they ARE children because adults don't act like that.
I think it comes down to Nintendo's recent tactic of not announcing games until they are far enough along in development.
The only exception to that tactic was the new Smash Bros, and that was only to salvage a horrible E3.
Having watched many vids and played the demo so many times, Rayman Legends is one of the most beautiful games in a long time. If the Wii U's first and third parties can make games that are more artistically brilliant than realistically, then I think the Wii U might be able to compete in that regard with whatever Sony or MS comes up with.
The fact that blatant trolling of the Wii gets 9 agrees and 0 disagrees, and a comment saying that one of three consoles was actually built well gets disagrees says all that there needs to be said about N4G's culture. Nothing here but moronic fanboys and trolls. So sad. What an embarrassment most of you are to this hobby and industry. Seriously.
What the hell is a "real gamer?" Since when was it something to be proud about that you spend most of your time playing with expensive toys?
"Oh wow! I'm a REAL gamer. I play and spend more time with video games than these casual pieces of crap. I'm so superior to them in life!"
Rayman Legends needs all the support it can get if the demo is anything to go by. It's a tremendous looking (gameplay and graphics) game, and I hope all Wii U owners look into it.
I don't hold much hope for the Wii U in the UK, though. :/ I'm the pessimistic type, however.
Thank you, Forbes. Great read and so true.
It's a device to get hits that many people who post articles on N4G use, most likely learned from Kotaku.
Great [not] reading [the article at all] skills there, chief.
"All hail Sony."
Do you seriously consider a soulless company like a king that you should bow down to? That is almost as pathetic as the guy who considers Nintendo his family.
The fanboyism on this site is amazing, and I don't mean that in a good way.
I play:
Mega Man X
The Legend of Zelda: OoT
The Legend of Zelda: A Link to the Past
Mega Man X2
Banjo-Kazooie
Mega Man X4
Super Mario Galaxy
Donkey Kong Country 2
So you don't care what happens to Nintendo going by your post if you only don't want anything to happen to MS or Sony?
No. Just kidding. ;)
This site is full of rubbish users. They don't care about the future of the industry and it doing well. They care more about their most hated companies failing despite how bad it would be for the industry in general-- y'know, the one we're supposed to love?
Absolutely despicable.
Game journalists have such short memory spans. Xenoblade Chronicles came out not even a year ago as did Tales of Grace F, and both are already looked over...
Something tells me if Nintendo had died 8,000 years ago, this guy would STILL find a way to blame the company for something today.
hehe
I think the true imbeciles are the ones who write articles with blatantly controversial (and troll-like) headlines just to get free hits, regardless of the content.
Yeah, that's what I said to your post. Fanboy much?
If you didn't know that by now, I don't know what to tell you.
"Yeah, because looking at the Wii, the Wii U WILL definitely have the best exclusives next gen -_-"
It had the best to me easily. Then again, I'm tired of shooters.
Notice that the Wii U hate articles all seem to come from sites that have had an axe to grind with Nintendo for generations?
Yay for stupid generalizations like the one I just posted and yours! I feel like a REAL N4G member now!
