More Mario Kart. More Fire Emblem. More Yoshi. More Xenoblade (maybe) and even a HD Wind Waker. Okay great news. If you're a Nintendo fan. If not... There's nothing here. WiiU Party and a bit of new info on WiiU Fit is the only casual fare they gave and neither one of those is going to get much more than a passing glance from the casual crowd Nintendo won over with Wii. On the flip-side, if your a core gamer but not into Nintendo franchises there's still nothing here. [...] |
@bold: I would argue that's an oxymoron.
As for your thesis, I just don't buy it. I understood your trepidation when the Wii U launched without much fanfare. But how can you fault Nintendo for apologizing to its customers, and promising all the games they want? People want Mario, Zelda, and Mario Kart. People want new IPs. People want to see their favorite characters reborn in a brand new game. We got all of that in the span of 35 minutes.
As for the tablet technology not being very impressive in 2013...OK, that's a good point. But the way Nintendo has deployed that technology to work with Wii U software? THAT is new and exciting.
The Wii was a revolution, no doubt. But the Wii U will be the better system when the dust settles.
