Sales - What WiiU Needs - View Post


I would add a few things to this as well:

- Assuming the Wonderful 101 is shaping up to be a good game, try launching it as a "merchandising" property. With 100 NFC figurine toys and flood Cartoon Network with non-stop marketing. Maybe even think about an animated series. You did it for Pokemon years ago, maybe you can hit pay dirt twice and get in that Skylanders craze. System needs a price drop to be affordable to the kids market though.

- Approach Marvel/Disney and ink a deal for exclusive games in the Marvel universe. Similar to what Nintendo did with LucasArts in the 1990s, signing a deal for exclusive Star Wars games. Marvel Comics is the sweet spot of characters that appeal to kids, teenagers, and adults alike and could be translated into games with Nintendo quality that can sell on the Wii U and 3DS too (which badly needs some Western titles).
