What can I say, I'm a lovable asshole.

I just don't get why people are so easily swayed.  Even Nintendo said themselves that they wouldn't kill the WiiU early because they didn't want to damage their releationship with their customers, then they did it anyway and everybody is absolutely fine.

We're basically saying "I don't mind spending 300 bucks on a console that will be supported for 3 years". This is outrageous!

Maybe I would actually be ok if the Switch was an improvment over the WiiU, instead of being the same console but portable... But I'm not spending 300 bucks again, and buying 70 bucks controllers , I'm not repeating the same mistake. This thing has no third party support, Nintendo is still not bringing the games we asked for and it's still too expensive for what it is (Miyamoto himself said the WiiU was too expensive, and they just repeat the same mistake)

Nintendo may not have learn from their mistakes, but I did. I'm out of this crap.

Except Nintendo actually supported the Wii U for quite a while. In 2015 we still got titles such as Splatoon, Super Mario Maker and Xenoblade Chronicles. And in 2016 we got Twilight Princess HD, Pokkén Tournament and Paper Mario: Color Splash. And this year it will still get Breath of the Wild, the most ambitious Nintendo game ever developped.  

It's funny Sony constantly gets a pass for dropping support of the Vita after less than two years on the market, but somehow Nintendo gets a lot of flack for the Wii U despite the fact that they actually supported it for 5 years. 

the difference here is that Sony is not trying to sell you another handheld pretending they didn't screw you with the Vita.

Sony did screw up, badly, but they got out completely, but if Sony came back with another handheld, I would say the same thing : "don't buy it, you can't trust them"

It's kind of different to me though, because I didn't buy the PSP or the Vita, so it's less personal, I didn't get screwed personnally by Sony.

 

As for the WiiU being supported for "quite a while, 3 years isn't "quite a while" for me. If 2016 hasn't been so bad for the WiiU, if Zelda came in 2016, and if we got a few more games, I would have said that 2016 was ok, but we got an awful starfox, a lazy remaster of Zelda at full price, a rushed up disappointing paper mario, and weird otaku game. 2016 was just bad, really bad
