| DevilRising said: I've said this many times before in other threads, but Wii U will very likely get many games that we have not even heard of yet, throughout 2016 and even into 2017. I still do not believe "NX" or whatever their next console is, will release in 2016, if nothing else because HD games take longer to make, and Nintendo, moreso than most developers, likes to take their time making games in the first place. They are going to want to have games ready for the next system, and to have a "Killer Ap" title, as Reggie said. They obviously had hoped that Nintendo Land, in part, would be that, like Wii Sports before. The problem was, Wii Sports was simple and had a very easy to pick up and play appeal. Nintendo Land did not. It had some cool concepts, but the execution on many were not quite what they should have been. I still don't consider Wii U a "failure" yet, but it certainly is far from the success it could have been if they had: 1. Advertise the damn thing better. 2. Managed their own development better. The droughts the system has had were caused in part by them focusing too much on 3DS development, and "misjudging" how long it would take them to really get rolling with HD development. But Wii U isn't done yet. And if Zelda winds up being anything close to what it potentially COULD be, then I think that alone will help. I think that alone could help spur sales, because quite frankly, outside of maybe Mario Kart 8, there has not been one sole Wii U title that was an absolute MUST HAVE for many who might still be on the fence about the console. IF Zelda could just be this massive world to explore, embodying the best elements of the series, from the very first NES game on up, I do think that could be a "seller" for many folks. But regardless, the point is, while Nintendo certainly is going to focus on trying to have their next system be a bigger success, I also find no reason to believe they won't do what they said, and "try to satisfy those who have bought Wii U". |
Yes, most of your thoughts are 100% correct.
