Captain Obvious: Zelda Wii U is a Wii U exclusive

Everyone's entitled to spend their hard earned money how they see fit. If 5-6 good/great games a year is not enough for a person like Curl to justify buying hardware for ... then a divorce with Nintendo was pretty much inevitable at some point.

They simply don't have the third party support to have that robust of a library and Nintendo themselves can only produce so many quality games at a time.

But lets be real ... it's been like this for Nintendo consoles since the SNES era ended ... that's been like 20 years now, so it's not like this is some surprising thing. The N64, GameCube, Wii, Wii U all had dry periods and poor developer support, that's four straight generations.

Nintendo consoles can provide a lot of fun if you like Nintendo IP, but they're definitely not for everyone, especially if you need a large variety of games and/or are unwilling to buy a Playstation/XBox/gaming PC to offset what's lacking on Nintendo consoles.

See, I know this is how most people see it, but for me, Wii provided me with plenty of games before support suddenly evaporated in 2011.

In 2010 for example, I bought Maro Galaxy 2, Monster Hunter Tri, Donkey Kong Country Returns, Sin & Punishment 2, Goldeneye 007, Kirby's Epic Yarn, Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Red Steel 2, No More Heroes 2, Sonic Colours, Black Ops, Epic Mickey, Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing.

That's 13 games in one year, Wii U has never come close to that.

Hell, even Wii's dry 2011 isn't much worse than any of Wii U's years.
