If you mean list wars it doesn't work with Nintendo fans, all games suck if they're not Mario. So 100 games won't be impressive to them cause they'll just say they all suck.

You can't act as if you're above the argument and then turn around and throw blatant generalizations at people. Makes you seem foolish.

 

Either way, they're both disasters at the moment. I own both and I still love them both. 

I know not every Nintendo fan thinks that way but only today I must've read plenty opinions like that in any e3 related thread.

Stuff like "when Nintendo shows Mario kart all the competition exclusives become irrelevant" is pretty common in these forums. Saying a single game can eclipse 20 other quality games is a bit.... Well, delusional to say the least. And you really can't say that the replies from some representatives of the Nintendo fan base in this thread were exactly classy, not all were bad though.

Well, that's just the recent experience with the 3DS speaking. After the price cut with a release of Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 at the same time the sales of the 3DS exploded. Mario Kart currently is a bigger franchise than New Super Mario Bros, as far as we know the release of Super Mario U, Mario Kart U and a WiiU price cut could have similar effects for the WiiU. Of course the WiiU has a stronger competition with the Xbox360/Nextbox and PS3/PS4, but unless those have a stellar launch lineup they will suffer from the same problems all consoles have at launch (no gaemz) and the WiiU might have an edge over them.

Would I be right if some other Nintendo fans did not state this quite as eloquent and a bit harsher?


You know that's not what they mean. Yes those games will help Wii u with sales but they don't even have release dates. Like you said Wii u will have also to compete with ps3 and x360 and those already have quite the library.

Mario kart and a couple more Nintendo titles won't eclipse any ps4 next box reveals at e3, there's a buzz around those systems now and Nintendo, who will also get media coverage (unlike a Sony fan, wrongfully said), won't steal the media attention from that announcement.

Honestly me and many other gamers that have been playing for over 2 decades don't worship Mario, sorry. Like in Sony's systems the biggest attraction for me in Nintendo consoles would b 3rd party, like dragon quest and prof Layton. X looks awesome though and I hope there's a trailer at e3. Couldn't care less about Mario kart, its a game I'll probably end up playing at a friends house. Its my opinion like theirs is Mario is everything.
