I'm losing more and more faith in Nintendo month by month. They can't continue to be a major console manufacturer the way they're going. NX is the console that either makes them or breaks them.

The situation is very dire, unsure if I can say it's never been this bad. Probably, though.



bet: lost

Maybe worst time for a WiiU owner considering they don't seem to have much for it anymore(TSM,Paper Mario and LoZ). 3ds is still going strong though and NX could turn things around for their home consoles.

Hopefully most Nintendo fans know that you cant be gaming exclusively on Nintendo consoles anymore. Youre just missing out on too much.

Can't say, I haven't been a nintendo fan my whole life.

Being a fan of a company is pointless, the good part is to be fan of their games: Zelda, Mario, Metroid, Pokemon and so, Wii U/Nintendo being in a bad situation makes you suddenly dislike Mario and Zelda?

Things like Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash makes me dislike both Nintendo and Mario.

I don't know about that. I mean, to an extent that's true of any console manufacturer, but overall if forced to pick, I'd choose only Nintendo over only Microsoft or only Sony.

How well have they handled Star Fox and Metroid again ? 

@OP It's too sad to even say. If it's not the worst then it's definitely the 2nd or 3rd worst time ever ...

Thats fair.

It's always best to have 2 and have fun with the variety that brings you. Last gen I had a Wii and ps3, had fun with both, but the WiiU never really appealed to me except for LoZ and that's coming to NX now.

Probably not the worst. There were patches of the N64, GameCube, and especially the Wii that were pretty bad. It's the lack of certainty of the future that's hurting right now, but I'm going to just wait and see what happens. Seriously, people need to calm the heck down. But maybe I'm just more patient. I am an Elder Scrolls fan, our patience has been tried by fire more than once.

The Wii U is probably the worst console to be an early adopter of. But that's why I don't early adopt unless games I desperately want are on the platform *at launch*. I don't care if it's a PlayStation, Xbox, Nintendo, whatever. I buy only when it is worth it. Which is probably why I am quite content with my Wii U and 3DS. Which I got in 2015 and 2014 respectively.
