Of course I hate it. They decided to kill the Wii for a piece of junk. I had no problem with Nintendo letting the Gamecube die, because that system had no life left in it anyway. But the Wii... that's an entirely different story. It's like killing your parents despite them being good to you. |
Pffftt...oh please ROL. The Wii could NEVER have survived going into the next generation against PS4/720 if that's what you think.
Wii was a great console for Nintendo but they still have to keep moving ahead instead of binding themselves to it.
Wii-U is a continuation of the Wii strategy as Nintendo said themselves. Everything that could be done on Wii can be done on Wii U plus much more.
Don't give me that " Wii-mote won't get any support " line because Nintendo will obviously support it and all the 'casual' 3rd party games that were popular on Wii, such as just Dance, work better with wiimote than they would with the new controller as devs such as ubisoft should know. Plus, if Nintendo packs a wii mote and nunchuk with the console like I think they plan to, that all but guarantees continued support for it. It's good for the customer to have controller options .
Wii wasn't by any means a perfect console and Wii U has the potential to fix the mistakes of Wii while keeping what made the Wii popular, even if it most likely won't have the same impact Wii had.
Releasing the screened controller as an add-on for Wii, as you seem to have suggested once, would have been futile and careless. It wouldn't have done shit! (pardon my language).
Nintendo has the opportunity to start of next gen first (unlike Sony and MS who are trying to prolong this one to recoup profits) and they are wise to take it. It's a nice little advantage.
Edit: 'True' Nintendo games ROL? Really? *Rolls eyes*
