All 5 of them? I hate to say it, but even games like MK8 and SSB aren't enough to save the Wii U from certain doom. Nintendo really screwed the pooch in every way imaginable this gen... they were 1st out of the gate to start a new hardware generation for the first time since the NES, and they squandered it with the worst console launch since the Saturn. |
Well 6+ million sales say differently. I don't if MK8 and/or SSB will be able to save the Wii U but I don't think it is only about "turning this ship around." Nintendo can't just alienate the fans they already have and those that believe in them. It's obvious they fucked up the beginning of this generation but the least they can do is end it on a strong note. If they can at least generate some momentum with some great games then they'll instill confidence in their fans that their next console they'll be much better.
It's like a sports team that has to end the season on a strong note. They know it might not make a big difference in the present but it will at least satisify fans and get them excited for the next year.
