The Wii U looks very promising. I guess this gen will be awesome for the hardcore gamers @ Nintendo! I also think that the 3DS is pretty powerful for an handheld. I was really impressed by Kid Icarus' graphics! Sure it's not a PS Vita, but the 3DS can still amaze me! Wii U/3DS or Wii/DS ? Which is the best gen? |
They care about the gamer in this new generation because they have to. Tablets and smartphones are drawing away all the casuals who bought Brain Age or Cooking Mama for DS. The core gamers like us who love Zelda and Metroid are the people who are going to buy launch-price Wii U's, a lot of games over a 5 year cycle, accessories, all of which will produce a lot of revenue for Nintendo. The casuals buy the system, most of which are after a price drop, and they only buy a small number of games. So Nintendo's only hope now of doing a bare minimum of at least GameCube-level performance is to make games that we will pay $60 day one.
