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

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.

I definitely agree with you on the Gamepad. They needed something like Wii Sports was for the Wii. People were hooked on the console the second they started playing bowling. 

This is why the WiiU has failed IMO, and this is why the XB One is also struggling.

PS4 is doing fine because it was purpose built to play "core" video games with the best graphics, cheapest price, and on a reliable console with other good exclusive "core" games.

3DS is doing well for similar reasons as well. Nintendo won't get DS/Wii levels of success again if they can't make "innovations" in their games which require a new console.
