Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What do you want, or expect from Nintendo (Wii U) in 2014? <NOT A DOOM THREAD>

I know I'll probabaly get gutted for making this thread because there have been a lot of doom and gloom Nintendo threads as of late. But what do you want/expect from Nintendo in 2014? What are your hopes they do in order to increase sales, bring attention to the Wii U, etc.

For me:

1) Release your strong, defining "Nintendo" software like Donkey Kong, Mario Kart, Smash, X, Yoshi, etc.

2) No more long delays.

3) No more apologies and no more excuses; take responsibility and own up to it.

4) No more month long droughts. IMO, Wii U needs a healthy stream of games maybe 1 every one and a half month (too unreasonable?). They can't afford to go for months without games.

5) Heavily advertise your games. Apparently Reggie believes consumers now know the difference between Wii and Wii U. http://mynintendonews.com/2013/12/02/nintendo-of-america-consumers-now-understand-difference-between-wii-and-wii-u/

6) Online has to be an issue addressed sooner than later. They're finally beginning to bring out unified account systems, but what about linking Wii U and 3DS virtual console games? Oh yeah... VC...

7) Virtual Console... Enough said.

***It's 2:30 am where I live and I'm dead tired. If I think of more I'll add them. Again, this is my opinion. I'd love to hear yours. THIS IS NOT A WII U DOOM THREAD, so please no doom.

Lock if re-posted.

Around the Network

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, X, Bayonetta 2, Mario Kart 8, and Yarn Yoshi is a spectacular lineup, and if they deliver I will be more than happy.

However

NO MORE FUCKING DELAYS NINTENDO!

Fans are sick of it, and Nintendo can no longer afford to piss off consumers.



X must release next year, same goes with Smash. Also the most important thing for me, VIRTUAL CONSOLE.
Step up your damn game Nintendo! The VC is why I own a WiiU already, I expected to be playing some awesome games like Super Mario 64 or Super Mario RPG on my gamepad, especially if they weren't going to deliver a single game I cared for post launch day until October



No more game delays.
And a solid gameplan about the Wii U's future.

I would like to see all of the Wii U features become readily available. *im looking at you NFC reader*
as well as Nintendo TVii releasing in Europe and becoming a more complete service.



Current Game Machines: 3DS, Wii U, PC.

Currently Playing: X-Com(PC), Smash Bros(WiiU), Banner Saga(PC), Guild Wars 2(PC), Project X Zone(3DS), Luigis Mansion 2(3DS), DayZ(PC)

I agree with this, muchly.

Nintendo has 7000 employees.  It couldn't cost them that much to put a small team on Virtual Console.  Get everything that was available on the Wii VC on the Wii U VC for a start, ASAP.  Adding off screen play and Mii-verse support can't be that complicated.  I know people have argued that this potentially takes focus (and resources) away from new games but I don't for a second think that the same staff (and skills) are required to port virtual console games as those that makes games like Supe Mario 3D World.

Secondly start getting some N64 and GC games on there.  GC has some great, underplayed and underappreciated gems, give them a second chance.  WiiU is completely backwards compatible with the Wii which is based on the exact same architecture as the GC.  Getting GC games running should surely be a piece of cake.

These are the kinds of things we shouldn't be waiting several years into the console's life cycle for,  they should have been there from the start.

Announce fucking Metroid.

I dont think Nintendo are into porn games, would ruin their family friendly image



Key things I want to see from Ninty for the Wii U next year:

1) No droughts, at least 1 retail game a month from Feb onwards
2) Fully integrated accounts between 3DS and Wii U. Tie my purchases to said account and let me transfer games and saves between my console and my DS. At least on VC titles.
3) Better VC titles, there's no good reason why we can't have N64 and Gamecube titles
4) Announce an HD classics range. Give us the option to buy some of the classics in HD. Twilight Princess, Mario Sunshine, Majoras Mask. They don't need to all be released next year, but tell us that it's happening.
5) More 'mature' games. I love the 'kids' stuff, but I also enjoy titles designed for adults. Give us Metroid, F Zero, a dark Zelda
6) Advertise. Saturday night there was a 2 hour documentary on Channel 4, followed by Indie Game: The Movie. Every ad break there were at least 2 PS4 ads (sponsoring the night), at least 1 X1 ad, and a plethora of other game ads. Nintendo adverts? 1. For ALBW. The TV show didn't even mention that Nintendo had a new console out and in the last 15 minutes devolved into a Sony/Microsoft jizz fest, despite featuring lots of footage of 3D World earlier in the show. (side note: Last of Us as the 2nd game that most changed the world? Fuck off)
7) Advertise. Seriously. Get of your asses.
8) Bitch slap Game. In Leeds, the Wii and Wii U share a single shelf, that's hidden in the Playstation SECTION, that you can't see from the door. Blurays are given more prominence. Wonder why you've been outsold in the UK? Ask the biggest game retailer why they've hidden your products. And get it fixed.



I'd take a Pokemon Colosseum style game and X being release.

Oh yeah and FExSMT.



PSN: extremeM

PlayStation Vita Japanese Software Sales (Media Create Physical/ Famitsu Digital)

Oh and 9) 3D Pokémon.

You want the Wii U to sell? 3D Pokémon.

Call it Pokémon Z, release it in time for Xmas. Bundle it. Make it speak to X/Y and function as a coliseum as well as including a single player adventure.

Boom.
