  • got €8 store credit in the eShop for activating that Zelda-key (just enough for the MK8-DLC-bundle)

What!!? You could obtain credit in the e-shop from the Wind Waker free copy? How didn't I notice it?? (I algo got WWHD with MK8)

The "Nintendo Network Premium" / "Wii U digital deluxe" promotion. But I looked it up, it only were €5 eShop credit instead of €8 for entering the Zelda code (which counted as "buying" a full priced game in the eShop).

And it's seems like they are going to keep showing the middlefinger to Wii U owners.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

Wii U not only doesn't have an exclusive Zelda but now won't have an exclusive Smash Bros., or Mario Kart. This is completely unprecedented and means Wii U did not get the support Nintendo promised, but did a bait and switch on their most vocal supporters. Yet everyone is happy that they bought hard-earned cash on a worthless scam that the Wii U ended up being and even double-dipping on Switch games. Seriously, screw Nintendo and everyone who wants these ports on Switch. If it turns out Mario Kart 8, Splatoon and Smash Bros are ported to Switch, I won't buy it. I won't support a company who promised support then betray me.

Usually the point someone buys games is to play them right after the purchase, if the product delivers in that front they delivered. Anything else is just misguided entitlement or just an excuse to complain just for the sake of complaining.

I disagree, if you are better off not buying the system because most of its exclusives are ported then no, the product does not deliver.

newflash: don't buy any product unless you're comfortable with what it provides at time of purchase. That's common sense. No one should buy a DVD player and then complain when there are no good movies to play on it in the future. nothing in the future is guranteed. Just saying.

And for gods sake whiners, sell your Wii U's for what you can now if you hate them so much. Its just ridiculous. Ports do not effect anything. As long as Zelda is released on the Wii U Nintendo kept their word to some degree.

their support has been a little weak for the Wii U, obviously when they realized no one was buying it, BUT that's the risk with any purchase. Nothing is a given for future releases.

By the time all the games you want are on any system, it's obsolete. I will sell my Wii U when I finish Zombi U and Wind Waker.

You got a better deal: you got access to most games first released on Wii U years before the Switch version. And Nintendo never promised you or anyone else to keep these games WiiU-exclusive.

For which games did you buy the Wii U anyways?Which Wii U games did you buy? Which of them did you enjoy? Which of them didn't you enjoy?

I bought the Wii U for Super Mario 3D World, and I expected the Wii U to be supported like the Gamecube was, which was a reasonable expectation and the expectation of most people who bought the system. I expected Nintendo would leave the games to die on the Wii U because they would otherwise they would abandon the system, and I did not expect them to port the games so soon to Switch because that never ever happened before and is deliberately decieving your customers.

I bought Super Smash Bros, Bayonetta 2, New Super Mario Bros U, Tekken Tag Tournament 2, Nintendo Land (came with the system), Super Mario 3D World, Zombi U (which sucked) and Zelda Wind Waker. While not all the games I bought will be ported to Switch, I find the treatment Nintendo gave those who bought the Wii U despicable, considering they didn't give the same treatment to those who bought their other failed systems.

If you bought the system at launch expecting it to get better support, that's just sadly the risk early adopters take. There were people who paid more money out for systems like the Amiga CD32 and 3DO and imo got far less in return.

If you bought it once the games you wanted were out, then you already knew it was a struggling system.

Nintendo put far too much money into their Wii U software to just leave them on Wii U given the sales of what are imo very good entries into their respective series. I don't blame them for trying to extend their life.

Nintendo is supposed to be a safe bet, customers do not expect to take a risk buying their products, and Nintendo didn't screw Gamecube owners like they are doing now to Wii U owners. Nintendo should have either leave those games to die on the Wii U or abandon the system. By releasing those games on Wii U, promising support, then porting them to Switch they deliberately decieved their customers, and that is unforgivable.

LOL im sorry but no. Nintendo hasnt been a safe bet since SNES. at least as far as home consoles. Portables? yeah

Nintendo used to be a safe bet, not anymore and I agree that people expected at least GC level of support. Wii U is far worse.



God bless You.

My Total Sales prediction for PS4 by the end of 2021: 110m+

When PS4 will hit 100m consoles sold: Before Christmas 2019

There were three ravens sat on a tree / They were as blacke as they might be / The one of them said to his mate, Where shall we our breakfast take?


Does it also mean that Nintendo Screwed Wii and DS owners because the Wii U and the 3DS could play Wii games and DD games respectively?



Pocky Lover Boy!

As somebody has said before, it was a safe bet a long, long time ago. Even SNES had games cancelled that could've appeared on it perfectly (Star Fox 2). The problem with WiiU is not the exclusivity loses, is that its catalogue has been lacklustre for many (not for me, I've enjoyed it a lot), and they are angry.

SNES is an extraordinary console. Wii U can't be written in a sentence with SNES in my opinion. What I mean is, Wii U is in a far worse situation. It failed, SNES didnt.
