If I was going to buy a $300 console it better last me more than 4 years
If true where looking at 2 big releases per year, put it 4 years that's only 8 games!
Fuck that not worth it in my opinion


When some games offer 100+ hours in gameplay then it might be worth it to others. 


Without dlc and online multiplayer how is that possible?

Not worth it in my opinion, but hey if you think 8 games is justifiable than good for you


Are you thinking aobut big 3rd party and exclusives or purely exclusives?


I'm talking about exclusives,  now lack of 3rd party is a whole nother problem itself


Wii U has plenty of exclusives out now and those that are coming... So then why are you crying anyway when Wii U has bunch of exclusives out now and a lot more coming?

How do you know there are alot more exclusives coming? I hope you are right as i have a Wii U and want more games and game options for it  (not into platformers too much so choice has been limited)

 

W have MK8, Smash Bros, DKTF-     after that who knows what, if and or when the next exclusives will arrive

 

Myamoto said they felt like they provided ample 1st party software so far for the
Wii-U.    That tells me we won t be seeing to many games on the Wi U in the future-

I have heard a good bit of news lately about the 3DS and Wii U successor Should this scare me from buying one? I do not want to get a Wii U if it is not going to be Nintendo's latest home console for a few years atleast. What do you guys think?

 

Stuff like this is concerning me about getting a Wii U (I am just waiting for my tax refund)

Is Nintendo just talking about their next consoles way to early or are they getting their replacements ready?


Your concens are unfounded. Nintendo has not, in point of fact, talked about the succesor to Wii U. People keep getting badly translated news twisted, taking the instances where Iwata was talking about "a new platform", to mean Our Next Console. When in fact, in that same investor's meeting, he repeatedly said they are dedicated to Wii U. The "platform" he spoke of, was in a BUSINESS sense, meaning they are going to change the way they do business, in part by having a unified eShop, and in part by using mobile phones to help advertise their products, as well as what he mentioned about licensing their characters out more to non-gaming products.

The Wii U is safe, for at least the next 2-3 years I would imagine. AT LEAST. You can't just snap your fingers and create a new console overnight, 3DS is a success and still selling great, and they have too much invested in Wii U to just drop it, cancel all the games in development for it, and move on to the next system they "HOPE" will be a winner. That isn't realistic, nor how smart companies do business, ever. That is why Sega bombed big time after Genesis. Because they lost consumer confidence, releasing Saturn too soon, and then abandoning it, then releasing Dreamcast too soon, and then abandoning it. They were not smart about how they handled all of that. They announced the DC WAY too early, and it killed gamer enthusiasm for the Saturn, even though the Saturn was a good console. They also failed to put some of their biggest franchises, most notably Sonic, a REAL Sonic game (not that 3D Blast shit), to support the system.

Nintendo isn't stupid. They know that if they just drop the Wii U now and try to rush their next home console to the market "In 2015" like some morons are sugggesting, that it would be a trainwreck all around. If Nintendo doesn't have confidence in themselves, no one else is going to have confidence in them either. Their stock would plummet and not recover, their fans and gamers would lose heart/enthusiasm, etc.

 

So don't worry. It's not going to happen. Wii U has a few good years left in it, and you should absolutely buy one, now is a perfect time in fact, as it already has a good library of games, and there are many more great retail and eShop titles on the way this year.



so the poor sales, lack of 3rd party support hasn't scared you off but Nintendo talking about how they plan to attack the future to improve their company status is?

No, what should scare you is

- Purchases of the same game on virtual console are not shared across from 3ds or to 3ds even if they're both linked to the same Nintendo ID
- Installing games or updating games takes a lifetime
- There's very little worth actually buying
- WiiTV is just a glorified TV guide
- Default battery in tablet sucks
- Unless you have wooden walls don't expect to get more than a room away without losing connection to the base console
- Only launch game worth your money is zombiu
- Bundled box weighs more than a ps3 fat boxed did
- wires, wires fucking everywhere.
- For some inexplicable reason all Japanese consoles released after the GameCube do not allow system language go be changed
- region locked, screw you Nintendo.

- Do not care

-Used to it from some PS3 games

-I disagree

-Do not watch tv

-Can deal with it

-Typically never a room away from my consoles

-We are not at launch anymore

-Who cares?

-Why would I care?

-Do not care

lol


Looks like your already getting the console, so why make a big deal over this than?

If I expected the "Wii U 2" to launch in 2015/2016 I would not be getting a Wii U. That was the point of the thread.


I think we'll see a sucessor in 2018 or 2019 honestly. Nintendo is not going to pull the plug on the Wii U in 2015/2016. MAYBE 2017 if the system hasn't recovered but I highly doubt it.

Donkey kong, Mario game, wonderful 101

doesnt interest me, plus the 2 a year games per say is a cause for alarm



Probably, I just recently came from my GameStop and the Wii and Wii U section was so small, it was almost non exsitince. There been time when I still think about selling my Wii U because I rarely play it anymore, though I still have it, the trade in value is slowly declineding. I ask the the gamestop and about the trade in value and he told me 100 bucks.

It really depend on you.



Don’t follow the hype, follow the games

Here a little quote I want for those to keep memorize in your head for this coming next gen.                            

 By: Suke

Anyone worried about a new Nintendo console before 2017 is paranoid. 2018 sounds a lot more reasonable to me. Maybe even later. Go buy a damn Wii U already.



I can't tell you what to think or feel about it, but it doesn't scare me.
