untrue, I know people that like nintendo, but come to the conclusion that they would need a second console to complement it, and as a results they dont buy the Wii U, and that is the problem, as a complementary console, is too expensive, and it become a complemtary console because if has not third party support.

Ill take the oportunity to post this ->

what it means for me to have a nintendo console this generation: Surely: Mario, Yoshy, Donkey Kong, Zelda Maybe: Metroid, F-Zero Unlikely: Pokemon, Dragon Quest Never: Batman Arkham, Elder Scrolls, Grand Thef Auto, Grand Turismo, Mass Effect, Red Dead Redemtion, Assasins Creed, Uncharted, Tomb Raider, Need For Speed, Call Of Duty, Battle Field, Dragon Age, Minecraft, Borderlands, metal Gear Solid, Fifa, NFL, PES, MLB the show, Farcray, Dark/Demons Souls South Park, Dragon Ball, Naruto, Street fighter, King Of fighter, Tekken, Mortal Kombat, Marvel Vs Capcom, Dead Rasing Persona, Final Fantasy, Kindom Hearts, Fallout, Bioshock, F1, Dead Space, Ninja Gaiden, NHL

You are expecting Uncharted on Wii U?
edit: didn't see the never part. Still don't understand why you'd list a first party game in that list.


The point is, you are missing out on the too much, nintendo games are good quality, but they are like disnay all the time. You can enjoy the gameplay but only if you ignore everything else, for example:

Where the heck is this? the land mario is walking on is on the air, nothing makes sense in this level, is it becuase is "eaiser" to design levels by throwing all logic out the window?

I could make a list like that for games I wont get on the PS4 or XB1, but only on WiiU. Some of the franchises you listed are on the WiiU btw...

Really? you are looking for logic in a Mario game?

I definitely agree with you on this. Nintendo has some good games, but there is so many other games out there it may not be worth a Wii U for.

Exactly, that is the problem, you have to forget about logic to enjoy those games, Is like cartoons. That is why I compare having a nintendo console to having only cartoon network or disnay channel on your TV, yes they have great content, but if that is the only type of content you are going to get is a tough sell.

It is a short list, and the main problem, they are mostly the same type, for example, SSB makes no sense, Super mario makes no sense, starfox is like a cartoon too, only a handfull of game from this already short list actually feel different (bayonetta, zombiU...why do you have metroid there?), donkey kong, mario, kirby and yoshy, is pretty much the same type of game, almost no story, no logic for the sake of level design and cartoony graphics and characters, they are not bad games, but is the same type of content, over and over, its hard to sell for the current price.
