Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo's Best Bet Is To "Relaunch" Wii U as NFC Toy Machine For Kids

They just need to get the price down and do heavy bundling, the Nintendo mascots will pull people in at the right price. $250 with 3 first party download games, including the new mario.

You can't "relaunch" a videogame console. Once it has been launched, then it is launched. It's like saying you're going to re-drink a drink or re-eat a meal. It just doesn't make logical sense.

Also cancelling all existing projects, and dedicating resources into transforming Wii U into an NFC machine for kids is about the dumbest idea I have ever heard.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.

the super casuals are long gone and Nintendo know it thats why they went for gamers again. Once its cheap enough i imagine alot of people will get it for there second console, as again it differntiates itself more than XO and PS4, once you have one of those 2 its better to get a Wii U than the other.

Brilliant, theyve been in the industry the longest, they have the best selling ips on consoles by miles, weve just come of the back of a generation where they sold 100M units on Wii, Yep no one knows Nintendo make consoles. 



If nintendo was administred by soundwave, it would have gone bankrupt 3 times already. those ideas are terrible.
