Forums - Nintendo Discussion - What COULD save the Wii U? It's pretty simple

Yokai Watch 2 Ganso/Honke is a variation of Yokai Watch 2. So therefore, it is more accurate to compare it to ORAS than X/Y.

Shinuchi is the variation of Ganso/Honke. G/H is to Yokai Watch as Gold and Silver are to Pokémon.

Edit: This will be my last post on this topic as we are off-topic with this discussion.

It's not a variation. That was the first release of the game. Shinuchi was the variation.

I do not need two people telling me this. 

My mistake.

Show that it will have support in 2016 by showing trailers for some unannounced games at e3 last month... Oh wait... That cannot happen.... It's doomed.



You mean kind of like how for sure/no way it doesn't that Mario 3D World/Smash/Mario Kart 8 (because Mario Kart is so much bigger now!) was supposed to make the Wii U sell "for sure" better than the GameCube at least?

Most of your suggestions are just making the same 20 million group of Nintendo fans willing to buy a console happy ... but that's the flaw in your logic, pretty much none of your suggestions would rather entice a larger userbase beyond that. Also Pokemon is popular in part because it is a portable franchise.

Metroid Prime 4 - Obvious why

Animal Crossing U - This would definitely help boost a lot of units

Yokai-Watch U - Now THIS would save the Wii U in Japan at least. Like it would sell pretty damn amazing. (Yokai-Watch is selling better than Pokemon in Japan. Not sure if it will sell great in the west, but it would boost Wii U in Japan)

Pokemon Red/Blue HD remake - This would boost sales practically everywhere

Nintendo making a deal with Capcom to release an exclusive Wii U Monster Hunter. If it was Monster Hunter 5, it would no doubt boost a ton. Especially in Japan.

 

EDIT: I am not asking for what is possible, what won't happen, what might be possible etc. 

I am not asking if it would be better for Nintendo to save these for the Wii U's successor or not. 

All I am saying with this post is what the Wii U needs in order to be saved. Regardless of probability. 


None of those games are bigger than mario kart 8/ smash Wii u. Monster hunter 5 is the only game there that would appeal to non-nintendo fans, so it is the only one of those games to actually make an impact in hardware sales.

The only game that can "save" the wii u is mario maker, as it seems to be the best gamepad centric game, with a huge ip, with a big concept of player creation. However, by "save" I mean on track to be more than 3/4 of gamecube'a lifetime sales. At this point nothing can make the wii u catch up to Xbox one let alone ps4



nothing can save wiiu



There's no point in saving what's already dead. This should be called "How to make Wii U win Japan", cuz' I'm sure as fuck that this wouldn't have as big of an impact as you want it to have (with the exception of Call of Pokemon).



I'm now filled with determination.
