Nintendo's Best Bet Is To "Relaunch" Wii U as NFC Toy Machine For Kids

Are you crazy?

I'm buying a WiiU for X, Bayonetta 2, Pikmin 3, Mario Kart & Smash Bros. These are all hardcore games (although Mario Kart does have a lot of casual appeal). This thread is complete BS, Nintendo has always appealed to the real gamers.

P.S. Whats? NFC? You never explained this abreviation.

I don't agree with the OP's NFC idea either, but continuing to make the WiiU a "hardcore" console for Nintendo fans only isn't the right answer either. Going down this route will only achieve Gamecube sales at best. The core Nintendo audience has been getting smaller with every generation and will continue to dwindle. Nintendo needs to think of something else. 

I half agree. I agree that Nintendo shouldn't target the core audience with the WiiU, but are they even doing this? Super Mario 3D Worlds, Mario Kart 8, Donkey Kong, Wii Fit U, Wii Party U, NintendoLand, Smash Bros, New Super Mario Bros U, and New Super Luigi U all seem like casual focused games (mind you I'll still enjoy half of them as a core gamer)

I think Nintendo needs more idea's like the Wii Fit and Wii Sports. They made a GamePad, but they didn't make a game which needed it. This is why the system is failing to sell IMO. Nintendo needs a game which requires the GamePad, but I have no clue what kind of console game can do that.
