Well yes, Nintendo fans need it. However the majority of Wii buyers aren't Nintendo fans. The Wii U is just them returning to 64/GameCube sales.

No, Nintendo fans needed a new console, but not that damn tablet controller. They should have left that out and sold the Wii-U for $200-$250.

So Nintendo fans are cheap bastards? No, at least I'm not. Also the tablet doesn't cost anywhere near $100 to include. Sure it costs that much to replace but normal game pads cost $60 to replace. That ~$40 extra cost is well worth it.


They should've kept the Wii Motes as the primary function of the Wii U and just called it Wii 2 or something. Nintendo needs the casual support or they will not measure up.

now this is probably true. they should've kept it simple. Consumers like simple. Consumers ARE simple...and Nintendo have always been about simple whichis key to their success. Of course there'd still be no damn games for the machine either way, so it could 've bombed (so far, at least)even if they'd released a wii2. No-one wants a nice new shiny console with nothing worthwhile to play on it.They should've launched the machine xmas 2013 but of course they probably didn't want to go head to head with the comp. The machine was obviously ready even if the games weren't...clearly they were banking on their name alone to see them through and it hasn't worked. Oh well, live and learn eh?
