| Magnus said: The way Nintendo it's treating the Wii U is an embarrasement. No exclusive Zelda AND getting a successor before the handheld? Even if it's a failure Nintendo should have treated the Wii U owners like they owned a Nintendo console, not a turd like the Virtual Boy. If they weren't prepared to commit resources like they did with the Gamecube they should have dumped the console inmmediately after launch and cut a few heads. |
NX is likely a replacement for both 3DS and Wii U. If it's simply one or the other, why not say so? They can't because it's different and will replace both.
The GameCube wasn't handled much better. After 2004 when the DS launched, Nintendo effectively abandoned the GameCube with their big internal teams. The only big internally produced games they had only for the GameCube after 2004 was Donkey Kong: Jungle Beat and Fire Emblem. They padded out their GCN roster using farmed out releases like Mario Baseball, Mario Party, Mario Strikers, Battallion Wars, Star Fox Assault, etc.
Plus the Wii U isn't even selling as well the as the GameCube (a good deal less actually). So why should it have equal support?
The idea that the GameCube was supported like gangbusters in its final two years is compelete revisionist history though. The big GameCube holiday game for 2005 was Mario Party, lol.
