| JGarret said: Malstrom doesn´t like it either
I’ve spent the last half hour yelling at my computer monitor that showed Iwata’s latest Nintendo Direct. I was always ambivalent about the Wii U since it at least had 2d Mario and didn’t have all that 3d junk that was in the 3DS. Wii U was just too expensive, had no Virtual Console, had no other games, and the 2d Mario wasn’t doing anything really new. This latest Nintendo Direct has made me hostile against the Wii U. I will never buy this lousy excuse of a console. |
OMG.
We sound like Grouchy Old Men upset because Nintendo is no longer producing games for Grouchy Old Men. Ugh. Shoot me now.
I do agree with much of what he's saying (why do we have to pay for VC games again (even for $1) so they'll play on WiiU gamepad? Fiddling with Zelda again but likely not moving it forward. HD WindWaker. Really? WindWaker? One of the most reviled Zelda's ever (I know some people love it - you are the only ones who are going to pay for this - again). Also, it'd got to be the least work to make HD. I also don't give a rats ass about Miiverse. Etc.
Right now Nintendo is appealing to their (disgruntled and disenchanted) fanbase. And that's all right and frankly important, because if they lose that they are totally f###ed. But I feel, in the meantime, they are missing the masses that they won over with their daring experiment - Wii. And that includes Malstrom and I. Maybe they'll try for us again later (with something better than that Wii Party). But later it'll be much, much harder as others continue to cater to our gaming wants.
