So exactly how the 3DS was at launch then?
Seriously did anyone here buy one at launch? Do you remember how useless the firmware was until several updates later?

The firmware of the WII U was even worth.

Big update at launch, took at least an hour. Very slow UI. It was garbage. But it got patched to a really good one. You could instantly start your games from the gamepad.

downloads/installs on wiiu were always rediculously time consuming, even to this day :(

The internet is too cynical. People are miserable. Water is wet and nighttime is dark.

Less namecalling more debunking.

We have people in this thread who are trying to say that Zelda doesn't really count. There is no reason for debunking when it's blatantly obvious that people have lost their minds.

Zelda is being released on Wii U as well, Mario Kart 8 is a Wii U port, Spla2n is a glorified port from the looks of it with terrible online support (you'll soon start paying to play it and you'll need a secondery device to talk with you team mates), Xenoblade 2 and Mario Odyssey is cool though, both of those games probably being launched late this year, with Xenoblade 2 having a chance of being pushed into 2018. The console is missing a lot of features, like Netflix, voice chat, miiverse, and with pretty terrible 3rd party support (which isn't looking to become any better). So yeah, this is either a "soft" launch, or a WEAK launch. One game, Zelda, doesn't make this a great, or even a GOOD, launch.



I'm on Twitter @DanneSandin!

Furthermore, I think VGChartz should add a "Like"-button.

I couldn't have done a better job at proving my point.

And what point would that be?

Zelda, followed by Arms, Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon


The wiiU only had Zombiu and mario, and then, I had to wait 7 months for pikmin 3

PS: It doesn't matter if mario kart is a wiiU port, most people didn't have a wiiU

People have lost their minds.

In what way have we lost our minds? You never clarified that I think

E3 is going to be so incredibly important to Nintendo... actually, I want to see what FF SE has in store for Switch, if any.

FFXV & FF7R are both too big & performance demanding to end up on the switch.

You ll see World of Final Fantasy for the switch probably (which is a great game), and even the vita has a port of it.

Oh god and another topic people use to doom Nintendo. Nintendo products have never ever felt like "beta"at launch. It's the games on Sony and Microsoft consoles (and third party games on Nintendo consoles) that get patched and released in an unfinished state more frequently, not Nintendo's. But here we are talking about Nintendo hardware products being unfinished without any real evidence. It's really getting out of hand.
