If all else "fails", can Wii Sports Club "save" the Wii U?

Hell no. Nintendo completely botched any chance of Wii Sports Club becoming a success when they thought putting it on the eShop first and offering it for free was a good idea. This will do absolutely nothing for the Wii U.

Yeah, that's going to help as much as Nintendo Land and Wii Fit U.



There will no doubt be calls from upset minority sports enjoyers wondering why these five over-represented sports have been included, and not all such as Sepak Takraw, where you stuff a Wiimote into your sock and kick the Upad over your couch.

maybe...



Nintendo's money can save the Wii U. Fund ten projects aimed for the hardcore audience. Six being a Nintendo owned IP. Four IP's is from reaching out to third parties. Sega's Panzer Dragoon and Platinum's Bayonetta remake is a start.

Brilliant game. Should release the retail version in west.



Everyone and their Gran has already played Wii Sports. Club's plus controls or online extras are nice, but they worth it? Nah...

Nintendo has a Gamecube problem. They tried to create gimmick that they risked on the non-gaming audience and it failed. Getting their attention is always a risk. Real gamers are the only thing thats going to save their sales numbers this gen just like the Gamecube and the N64.

Thank god for real gamers.


Sarcasm or not, its the truth. They are the ones who do the research and know when the lesser known games are coming. 



Possibly in Japan, Wii Party U did pretty well there.

You just reminded me. I was looking at Urban Dictionary earlier, while trying to explain the British Slang definition for "Sod".

It made me think that we really need an equivalent to UD for all these newfangled gaming terms. I plan to make a thread in preparation for the idea, and I'd really like your input. Look forward to it!
