I'm pessimistic because whenever I have a shred of optimism regarding Nintendo these days, they dash it with yet another terrible decision or display of contempt for their fans. I didn't drop hundreds of dollars on a new console to play Wii/3DS games in HD and budget spinoffs, yet aside from a few exceptions, that seems to be all Nintendo wants to make any more.

This is the fate of a company trying to juggle two consoles at once. If anything you should be happy that they are effectively axing this paradigm and moving towards unification because it means we won't have this nonsense cycle of 3DS -> WiiU -> 3DS -> WiiU. They're incapable of supporting both with non-stop software all on their own of the bigbudget variety while also producing high-quality (big budget) 3DS games.

They kick off this stupid charade.

But, that said, yes, the fate of the WiiU is unfortunate but all the same its given me a good enough ride for me not to be all that torn up about it.

Unifying their platforms makes sense, but it's not just the game droughts, it's their stubborn insistence on aggressively ignoring everything gamers want, whether it be voice chat in Splatoon, a HD Metroid, or online play in the likes of Starfox or Mario Party.

I don't really care about any of the above personally, but clearly a big slice of the audience does, yet they arrogantly continue to do what they want rather than what consumers demand. But there's plenty that pisses me off too; making Mario Sports game #42,176 and Amiibo Crossing instead something actually worth buying, for instance.

I refuse to be that person who keeps going back to an abusive relationship any longer. Nintendo have shown time and again that they cannot be bothered satisfying my needs as a consumer, so I'm gone.
