Do you really think 3D World will have that much of an impact? I'm sorry but I dont see anything Nintendo can do to turn this around. Sadly the Wii U will just keep selling the way is selling now, maybe get a little better for a couple of months every time they lunch a big hitter, something like the Vita but that's it. Sorry but Wii U and Vita are just too materializations of mistake. |
I do. Or at least I think it can. 3D Land has surprised a lot of people with it's popularity. This is because its play style - while not as flashy as Galaxy, is far easier for people to play and enjoy if they don't like 3D-style games. It brings the accuracy of 2D platforming to the visual style of 3D. With 4-player multiplayer, it could be a massively fun title embraced by children and adults that grew up with Mario alike. If it's well promoted, it could be a huge title.
Vita and Wii U are completely different cases. Vita is a system with almost no widely-loved exclusive titles. It is over-engineered technically, the most expensive option in its segment and lacking in brand value. Wii U is a system backed by Nintendo - gaming's verion of Disney with lots of family-trusted icons and titles. It's the cheapest new console offering in the market and one that will receive Nintendo's biggest software support.
Both could fail, but the foreseeable future of Wii U looks measurably better than Vita's.
