I'm really surprised by the results. Would people rate this site as hardcore Nintendo? Could the results be because people would follow Nintendo through any changes?
At any rate like Eric and other siad Nintendo aren't separating from Hybrid as they've structured the company towards it. The best that could be hoped for is a Switch TV. |
I mean, the simple fact that we're here spending our free time debating video games on a dedicated forum suggests we're not reflective of the average consumer. Most folks who play games don't feel the need to sign up to a forum, it's typically enthusiasts who get this invested. The Wii U basically shows how many folks would follow Nintendo through thick and thin. That's the hardcore Nintendo audience who will buy any console to play their games. |
The WiiU was a great console, sadly ignored by the masses.
It did have some issues. Stick drift making the whole handheld experience crap. Not ergonomic, some games literally hurt to play.
Yet having the map and inventory in your hands while playing on an uncluttered screen, that was simply brilliant. Touch screen to handle inventory, pick abilities, upgrades, set markers on the map, easy zoom and drag. Then back to full screen playing while glancing at the map in your hands to go the right way.
A less bulky, more ergonomic tablet, basically the Switch as secondary screen would be great. Sadly the thing is stuck in its dock for TV mode :/ Maybe Switch 2 can bring that experience back. Either all on handheld, or cast the game play to the tv while keeping the UI on the Switch. |
The problem with the Wii U, at least for me, was the lack of games.
It had some really great titles like BOTW, Bayonetta 2, DKC Tropical Freeze, Mario Kart 8, Splatoon, etc, but they were few and far between, separated by long barrens stretches of nothingness.
3-4 good games per year just isn't enough to keep me going.
