Nice Thread

1st let start off by saying pls update in a couple days! (This isnt an arguement lol) One month didn't technically pass intill this week hardware sales are in (week ending Dec15)! So thats what i wanted to say so pls update the OP when results come in. Thank You.

I love the wii u how it is, But i do think its lacking without the major Title (Pikmin 3) and Wonderful 101. Dont get me wrong I love my NSMBU (best one in the series) and ZombiU brings back that true RE style with cool gamepad features, but i think nintendo should of brought 2 more major titles especially Pikmin 3.

The Web Browser is very very nice love it. (using it to talk to all you crazy people) E shop is great, Loading times are a little long but im not impatient! Glad they brought multiplats (COD, AC3, etc) Overall the system is fun and i believe developers can do something amazing with this.

Most anticipated games (even though most wont come intill 2014 sniff...) are Zelda, MKU, Metroid, Star fox, and the best of the best SSB4.

MIIVERSE IS TWITTER FOR NINTENDO.
No trolls because its all Fans on the console and people help you out (i've been helped twice).

I hope sales go up i want this system to pass the wii ( let a man dream) and be #1 next gen!

Best thing is Multiplayer Nintendoland is a blast, and the remote fits in the hand perfect!

Good luck Nintendo and thanks Danne for opening this thread up! Keep It up

Somewhat worrying is the fact that Nintendo Land, New Super Mario Bros., and ZombiU are selling well, but nothing else is.


Whilst it's not selling well overall, I'd say the numbers for the Sonic & Sega All Stars racer is impressive on the WiiU, at least compared to the 360/PS3 when taking the install base into account.

Good Observation
I said the same thing with Sonic Allstar. Its selling rather good when you notice the ps3/Xbox360 have around the same sales as the WII U while WII U has only 1.4mil userbase.



It's doing very well. Not as good a launch as the Wii but better than the 360 and the ps3? If you're doing better than your competitors comparatively like that can you complain? Only a troll would vote that it's doing terrible. Far from it.

Wii U is doing well. Only Europe looks like might be trouble. It has to sell more hardware. US should be good but Japan will be all over this IMO

Pretty much what I want to say has already been said, so...

I like it. That's the key. And the games coming out intrigue me. I have a PS3 for multiplats, I just want great Ninty games.



 

Here lies the dearly departed Nintendomination Thread.

Nintendo uniqueness is what attracts alot of gamers. Speaking of I believe they will make A Wii Sports Resort type of game for Wii U but this time you get to walk/run/drive/fly around the island or city! That'll be Epic

Yea i think its a high chance they will do this. New Sports, upgrades, Score keeping on gamepad. What other you use? exploration! Like Nintendoland but not clustered.

When i played wii sports resort, my only complaint was not being able to walk around. I flew around which is amazing but it would of bern better walking.

Well at least i can drive around (yes MK7 has two boards off wii resort)!



Enjoying it so far
I am already out of games to play :(
Most of the Wii U games i already own on the ps3 and xbox 360.
Need colonial marines, raymand legends, lego city, pikmin 3 and wonderful 101 now.



Bet with ninjablade:

Ninjablade wins if the next 5 multiplat on the wii u are inferior to the 360 version.

I win if one of the 5 mulitplats are on par or superior on the Wii U.
