Agreed. This is a different way of wording the argument I've been posing that Wii U is essentially a Gamecube disguised as a Wii. The games resemble the quirky and more "hardcore" games that frequented the Gamecube, and thus the Gamecube-esque sales follow. Thankfully it seems like Nintendo is starting to release the more "Wii" style games now and in 2014, with games such as Wii Sports Club, Wii Fit U, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros, DKC, etc.. Problem is, even these are merely SEQUELS to already existing Wii games, so I can't help but feel as they too will have a more limited appeal as they will only appeal to (some) of the fanbase of the original games. What Nintendo really needs if they want to return to the sales phenomenon type games is games with entirely NEW content, if not new genres that bring in non gamers and lapsed gamers, much like Wii Fit was back in the day. Perhaps it's time for Nintendo too revive the Vitality Sensor and get to work on that relaxation game?
