They're continuing their approach of ressurrected 2D platforming, and games well balanced between accessibility and core appeal, Wii era values that have continued because they were commerciall successful in the 7th gen.

i disagree, Wii was mostly a blue ocean machine, the wii u isnt, they are trying to target both demographics, if it was really continuing what Wii was doing, why has it not had the same sucess as Wii did?

That's oversimplifying the Wii. A big part of its appeal was those two traits, that's how it attracted an audience that would buy 20 million plus copies of NSMBWii instead of just Wii Sport/Fit.

This is continuing with NSMBU, Donkey Kong County, Yoshi's Yarn, and the greater accessiblity of Wii U Nintendo games in general compared to he pre-Wii days.

I dont think Wii was anywhere near red ocean, i think it had faint traces but nothing like what they are doing with WIi U, but if what you say is true, that doesnt explain why its doing so poorly in comparison

It's not rocket science as to why it's not doing well; it's not doing well cos it had no damn games for its first 9 months.

Nintendo games aren't really red ocean on Wii U either, as they're unlike those of their competitors.

it had games not alot but it had games

Not unlike comp? red ocean? explain, what has Ninty put on Wii U so far that is unlike comp? Mario its a 2d platformer, theirs a bunch of those on other systems if thats blue ocean then so is COD. Hell i would say that game even competes with the other Mario games. Pikmin 3? Strategy and looking at sales, thats about as red ocean as you can get. Game &Wario thats kinda like blue ocean but lets be real its a mini game comp, there are a bunch of those on smartphones and other devices, hell Frobisher Says for Vita is pretty much the same game, but that was free. Ninty land is the only one that is blue ocean, but again their are alternatives, Ninty aint doing nothing now game wise that they themselves havent already done or other people have done and are doing.
