Love that picture so much lol.

OT perhaps change the title of the thread to include you're basing it on the past 7 years and are not including companies who have released worse consoles... which includes Nintendo themselves.


I don't think you can edit titles. I think most people get my point, however, especially superchunk. I see that i don't need to 

 

@SanAndreasX

Are you serious? The Vita has Gravity Rush(new IP), Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Persona 4. Just with a quick google check you can see those games and tonsothers. The Wii U? Mass Effect(port) and a bunch of the same old Kart, Smash and Mario 3D land(side scroller not even in the levels of galaxy or sunshine) Nintendo has so little faith in the Wii U that they even release the same game(smash 4) for the DS to not lose money. I think you truly need to wake up and accept that nintendo needs to change their strategy, they messed up this generation. Most of the games you list like fire emblem and xenoblade you could pretty much get the same experience by buying a DS. 

 

Going by your logic, you could get the same Uncharted experience by buying a PS3. Which is why the Vita failed. Nobody wanted a handheld to play games that would be better served by playing them on a PS3. For that matter, why would I want to play Xenoblade Chronicles X on a 3DS instead of a Wii U?

I don't need to wake up to anything. Nintendo needs to change their strategy. There was no denial of that on my part. Doesn't change the fact that your thread was fallacious at the outset and you started moving the goalposts when people called you out on it.


Because I would rather not spend money on a 3DS than buy a Wii U as I don't need it. 

I have accomplished much more in my thread than I expected. I simply made a strong statement and then clarified it as I went along. It's funny how you are proving some implicit premises I had. The fact that, the Wii U is so awful that you need to 'grasp at straws' and bring up forgotten consoles in order to say its not the worst, shows how bad it truly is. Also what happened to phillips and atari? They are OUT of the hardware business. Just like Nintendo will be soon if they don't do something about it. 


@Bold - you have a thread which made it to almost 20 pages! that is a lot more than someone could have expected indeed! However it is also 20 pages of people saying you are completely barking mad wrong, giving you examples of how you are wrong and in your completely lack of acknowledgement that you are wrong they have compared your thread to the one which started the "globally in the US" phrase, so I don't think what you've accomplished is anything to be proud of with this thread.

@underlined - My sides exploded, can't say more than that really.

Is it grasping at straws to tell you that there is a Nintendo Console which caused blindness to users with it's library of less than 20 games? I think the massive issue here which you have tried to put accross as a plus for your arguement is the fact that you know very little of the history of gaming and even less about the wii-u to make a thread like this about it.

Glad your thread accomplished what you wanted tho, I'm sure it will remain in peoples minds looking at (or not) your posts going forwards.

Actually, I think it just falls to an underrated console. It's far from bad. The list of games it has for it are extremely high quality and are some of the best games Nintendo has offered in a long time.
Have you played a Wii U? The gamepad does have its limitations without doubt, especially when considering single player games unless utilized really well, but with that being said, I hope every new Nintendo console has a gamepad due to the multiplayer aspect and off screen play. I'm not sure how always goes over looked.
No, not the worst, far from it. One of my personal favourites actually, but certainly underrated.



Gotta figure out how to set these up lol.

It's not the worst console, just the worst supported Nintendo console.

Why does a Samsung phone have more RAM than the Wii U... sigh...

I seriously beg Nintendo not to have any expensive gimmicks next time around. The old-G Wii had the best motion controls of all consoles, and was fun. Now, win the hearts of 3rd parties again, and give it the best specs and graphics power of all consoles... You don't have to fix what is not broken! I love Nintendo, but I can't buy these weak system anymore.

Nothing, and I mean nothing, beats the Jaguar line up as the worst of all time.



V-r0cK on 18 June 2015

In general, no the Wii U isn't the worst.

Personally from what I own (base on how many games I bought for it), Wii U is probably my 2nd least favourite but still enjoy it very much, and my Xbox360 is probably my worst console i've own.

Is this thread the worst thread of all time?
