Mario, Metroid, Zelda, Xenoblade, and Smash. Let alone Mario Kart, Splatoon, Star Fox, and Fatal Frame (though I do know unless you live in Japan you aren't getting much FF love hopefully that will change). These games alone make Wii U a must have. Bayo and 2, Devil's Third, Wonderful 101, and Zombie U are just some f'ing tasty icing on the cake.


See the problem there? Unless you are into Nintendo or Japanese games, the console offers nothing. Most gamers aren't into either. 

If you don't like Nintendo, Nintendo offers you nothing you want. You may have a point there.

I have seen so many people saying that don't have playing on a nintendo console since NES or SNES and they are fine missing SOME nintendo games. They are now with PS/MS consoles and they never "looked back" because Nintendo didn't do anything do caught their attention once again and the reasons are:

No third party support (even when some series are suffering a quality decline)

Graphics (even when the difference are some pixels, particles and textures rendering)

No voice acting

Too many cartoonish characters

Too much of the same (even when other companies abuse of a franchise releasing various "sequels" in a shorter time frame)

No violence, blood, etc...

 

And i ask myself... what about the game?! Did you played? Watched the gameplay? Because I found these reasons so futile, that i don't even know if some of you are really serious. When you don't play a nintendo console you are not only missing a bunch of platformer games. Instead of turning your back when you see the nintendo logo (or mario's hat), you should see the game and when i say "see" i am not talking about the visuals aspects

 

Note: I am not talking only about Wii U since i mentioned NES and SNES. Nintendo portable consoles are consoles too, so every single nintendo console is included


I have not played seriously on a Nintendo platform since the N64 and I don't miss Nintendo nor am I interested in going back. My tastes have changed massively over the years, yet Nintendo have done very little to their platform lineup which is very stylised towards one, small audience. Every other platform has a wide range of games and styles to choose from - serious rpgs (mass effect, dragon age, dark souls), mmos (WoW, EvE a bagillion free ones), relaxed games, horror, fps, indie etc. Nintendo only has Nintendo styled (eg more cartoonish and less serious) games. 

I'll put it to you another way; if I want to play a mature and indepth game, what would Nintendo offer me? How about a racing sim? RTS? Innovative indie platformer?

It's litterally impossible for nintendo to make an indie game. pikmin is an RTS. racing sims just aren't there style. 

I understand that your tastes have changed, but once you grow up and realize mature games don't make you more mature, Nintendo really has a wide range of offerings as far as genres go.

You must not have played Xenoblade, Fire Emblem, Fatal Frame, Shin Megami Tensei, or Metroid. All very serious and with verying art styles (sometimes even within its own series).

Refined, as in technically, therefore they will look better in the coming months and years. That should have been obvious with the following words in that sentence.

And yes, actually the difference in graphics between the WiiU and PS4 is staggering, so much so that on screenshot comparison it would be easy to say the WiiU was part of last gen, which brings me back to the point of "value for money". Paying for yesterdays technology isn't a good deal and that's why many people won't buy into the WiiU. 

So you just said that no, I don't only like games for graphics retard, and then said xb1/ps4 is better because of the graphics. You can buy a console for the graphics and not even consider the games, but that's just foolish to me.

Not once have I mentioned my personal preference for games. Your comprehesive skills are woeful.

Never once have you mentioned anything outside of graphics. Your communication skills are dreadful. I'm fine if you have your own tastes, but quit telling me PS4 is better than Wii U, because of it's graphics. At least Wii U can do 60 fps.

Read thread topic again.

I have...

"These games alone make Wii U a must have."

Clearly they don't. Unless you are into a specific genre, you won't enjoy the game. The majority of gamers are teenage, white western males. Getting them to play cheesy games involving a fat bouncing italian plumber just isn't going to happen regardless of the quality. Look at Apple. Yesterdays tech, tomorrows prices, sell at the speed of light because they are aimed at the right market. Gamers have changed and Nintendo has failed to grasp this fact.

At this point, probably just Super Mario series for me; mainly due to lack of good platformers on other platforms. Nothing else really interests me tbh.. more of the same old stuff, gen after gen.

I'm talking about an issue Wii U games have. If you walk into a lecture on quantum physics, do you think that prof only cares about quantum physics and has no other interests at all? Are you 12 or something?

All I've said is that the games on the Wii U are massively hampered by it's lack of power, and when it comes to marketing, they get hammered on the graphical mark. Deal with it. 

Any console can do 1,000,000 fps, just depends on the game....I really now do think you are probably what, 14, and arguing about something you have no understanding of? 

Edit: Lol just checked. 15. Not far off the mark. Here's a tip. Stop, breath and discuss this maturely. I'm not criticising you, but stating a problem the Wii U faces. Okay?

Lol. Whatever man, if you don't like Nintendo's games that's your preference. Obviously if you for whatever reason hate every single Nintendo game (not just Mario) ever made, the answer to the thread is no.
