Don't know why people are arguing with folks over the wii U getting positive news, just let them bask in the glow and have them overhype this news. If consumers cared about the Wii U they would have bought it in droves over the course of this prior year. Its not like they don't know new Nintendo games are coming. I'm guessing the payola that Nintendo sent out to the multiple publications this past week are for former Wii owners who have neglected the system (and even after the press will continue to do so) to take a second look.

Keep dreaming.

Im guessing Reggie was out and about last week just for a weekly jog then

If i say " 3DS has more games than Vita", its not a fact for you ?

Then you understand, that is not an opinion to say Wii U wont have most of big games of the generation, you know very well almost all  next gen third party games wont be on Wii U.


Nintendo games are big too. In fact they dominate the top 15 on videogame sales. So they will have big games, Nintendo ones at least :P.


Yes some will be big too, but you cant just own a nintendo console if you're a gamer ( the same way you should own a nintendo console)  because you would miss the most part of the generation. (i dont know for microsoft considering what they did with 360  but you'll have to own a sony console at least for all the sony exclusive games and all the games that are not on Wii U )

Let's not go into what defines "gamer" by what systems they own.

People have different tastes.

Its not like Sony fans are doing this with the PS4 or anything....

They cant be doing the same thing because the console just launched 10 days ago while the Wii U has been around a year.  Let come back in a year when Sony and 3rd parties have time to establish a library like the Wii U then you can make that judgement.

Yes, you sony guys can. Its called defending a coroporation and attacking another, which is clearly the case here (With your payola comment that holds no backing). Pointless if you ask me since corporations don't put emotional investement into their consumers but hey, thats just me. :) Just accept that the Wii U can have positive news and move on. Not difficult.

No. Some Vita fans already stated that it has a better and larger library than 3DS.

And GameCube had good third party support. Almost every big mutiplat had a GC version.

And finally, Wii did't have almost none of the big third party games, yet it sold more than any other console, even than PS3 with all the big thrid party support and all Sony excluisves.

Yes, my best nintendo console, too bad lucasart is dead, they wanted ta release rogue leader sequel on Wii U.


Dont forget the Wii  had a very good third party support in term of exclusives, but you know  the reason why it sold more than PS3 and 360, wii had the casual market, that's all, Wii U wont reproduce that, gamepad is too complicated to sell to  casual gamers who dont see the purpose of buying a next gen console

I consider myself a gamer and I won't get a PS4! You don't need to own every console and play every game to be one. And you definitely don't have to play Sony exclusives to be a "gamer".

I will gladly miss the Sony exclusives, they are good don't get me wrong but they are a tad overrated.

Everybody agrees with this on the internet, except the people that are emotionally invested with MS/Sony. The Wii U clearly has the superior lineup and will remain like that for at least the next 2 years.

Debatable.. The PS4, Xbox One and Wii U all have an excellent lineup next year.

Multiplats; Metal Gear Solid 5: The Phantom Pain, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Destiny, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Theif, Watchdogs, Wolfenstein: The New Order, Star Wars Battlefront, Tom Clancy's The Division, The Evil Within, The Crew.

And the maybe(s); Final Fantasy XV, Cyberpunk 2077.

I think you missed the point of my comment. The Wii U by next year will have available those games that you commented, besides Fire Emblem x SMT, Yarn Yoshi, New super mario bros U, new super luigi u, pikmin 3, super mario 3d world, lego city, zelda wind waker HD, the wonderful 101, Wii sports club ...

Is not like all the games released in this year are just going to disappear. Nor nintendo will stop making games. I would expect at the very least 5 more anouncements from them in the upcoming months that are going to be released in 2014.

 

The new consoles have a lot of catching to do before they are even close to the Wii U in terms of quality games.

Sorry.. misread your post. Thought you meant lineup for next year.

Still, the PS4/Xbox One have only just launched so of course the lineup is not going to be as good as the Wii U. Its had a good 12 month headstart in building its library. Honestly though, it's a bit early calling judgement calls on these kinda things..

And calling the Wii U library the best in quality is pretty much all subjective. All next gen consoles will have great games on them over the next few years, it just depends on what you like.

These publications are irrelevant because they only consider short term value.

Stop being defensive. The publication just claims that right now the Wii U is the only next-genconsole with a worth game. There's nothing about future.

Don't try to downplay the Wii U.

Lol, im not defensive, i'm stating facts about the console, not downplaying the quality of this game.
Wii U is the gamecube of the generation, a complementary console for nintendo games but most of the games of the generation wont be on Wii U

 

Great news. You are prediciting success for WIi U then as considering most people on these forums would consider the Wii to be their comlementary console for nintendo games to the PS360.

 


Wii was a complementary console for a lot of exclusive games, not only nintendo games.

I'm not predicting success for the console, i'm predicting it will be a console to own in the generation.

 

But the main console to own  will be the PS4, like the PS2


you are missing the point I am making here. Wii sold 100million units. Lots of people on these forums have said the WIi is their second choice (i.e. complementary console) mainly for Nintendo games. Not bad for something they consider to be complementary. Based on this I could only conclude sucess for Wii U.

Most people on here are either Sony fans or Micrososft fans. They do not buy the competitiors console because its lke committing treason. Therefore if the Nintendo console is not seen as competition and it becomes a second choice console for the supposed top two dogs then suddenly you got the sum of two sides wanting the third device as a second option. That may be 10%-50% of the owners of  the other two systems. We really done know only time will tell.

You are one of the most comically anti-Nintendo guys on this forum.

 

You literally flock to any remotely positive news and take a huge, huge shit all over them.

I think Ryuzaki and you are secretly best friends

Incredibly low.

So you'll get a xbox one or a very good PC ?
