Who exactly was Nintendo's primary target audience with the Wii U?

I would like to see Nintendo focus less on party type games....and local multiplayer aspects.
Those mario party games, animal crossing board game? who cares honestly? I certainly dont.

(seriously nintendo, screw the casual market, those soccor moms, that buy the console and maybe 2 games... they re not dependable the way a core gamer is)

If nintendo wants to appeal to the "core" gamer, they would do some more shooters (fps/3rd) (like splatoons), and get back to doing 3D mario games (64,sunshine,galaxy style) platformers. Then throw in alot of rpgs, put Pokemon on a home console, new Xenoblades, new paper mario (thats actually a rpg please),...

Small things like this, would get nintendo back to selling well I think.

I agree they could use some more fps and rpg games, also they should bring back classic 3D mario games.

I don't agree they should abandon local multiplayer, on the contrary I belive they should valorize it even  more than ever and blend it in a more effective way with online multiplayer. On the other hand I agree they should abandon (or resize) are party games and, speaking more generally, local multiplayer games without deep game mechanics (those games are not particulary liked and not particulary needed). Local multiplayer is been an essential part of their home console's offereng for over 2 decades, and it is the only field where they stil have a true competitive advantage over Sony and Microsoft.
