Yes. Sorry, harsh but truth: People is ignoring Retro's latest offer on the Wii U, just like they decided to choose over other options with a lot more potential.

Is DonkeyKong's fault? No, it's Nintendo's fault to believe it will sell hardware when Returns proved that it sold on a established userbase. It's Nintendo's fault to greenlite a game that doesn't looks like a new complete generation when other consoles is offering that. It's Nintendo's fault to release the same games as the Wii.

People wanted new games, new experiences and Nintendo is just releasing the same content as the Wii with higer resolution. Wii Party, Wii Sports, Wii Fit, DKC Returns, New Super Mario Bros Wii have already sequels on the Wii U, and guess what, everything has bombed compared to their predecessors.

Every time I see my Wii U I imagine all those games Nintendo could have developed with outstandings graphics, effects, and new gameplay. Then, I got depressed looking at what we are getting.

It's not DK's fault, it's Nintendo's.

it's not a bomb bro, it sold like 130k + EU in a crashing video game market



Bet reminder: I bet with Tboned51 that Splatoon won't reach the 1 million shipped mark by the end of 2015. I win if he loses and I lose if I lost.

Honestly, with your hand at your heart, tell me you believe it will have legs to reach at least half of Returns numbers.

I think you need to stop checking software sales and stuff like that. I've only see you make "doom" or "dissapointment" threads...
OP: Of course it's Nintendo's fault! There's no other to blame. They made the Wii U the most anticonsumer hardware I've ever seen.



Bet with bluedawgs: I say Switch will outsell PS4 in 2018, he says PS4 will outsell Switch. He's now permabanned, but the bet will remain in my sig.

huh? The video game market is stronger than it ever has been before. Both PS4 and X Box One have shattered sales records for their launch and PS4 is still on pace to outsell the Wii as far as launch, first month, and maybe first year. It's on that pace easily. So how is the video game market crashing again? Outside of Nintendo releasing a console with last gen tech and the same games we have seen for a decade, THAT is why they are failing thus far. I think they get back on track soon. But a failing market is just a ridiculous thing to say.

It's frustrating to see this new Nintendo.
