Forums - Gaming - If the Nintendo oracles knew that the Wii U would be a failure from the start, why are they upset about lack of 3rd party support...

for said Wii U?

For the purposes of this thread, Nintendo oracles are individuals who want to believe they have an omnipresense view on all things Nintendo.  They are the Sean Malstroms, John Lucases, Emily Rodgers and individuals on this site who shall remain nameless.

The Nintendo oracles shouted from on high that the Wii U will be a massive underachiever but 18 months in, a select few still hold a grudge against those companies who do not want to partake in said underachievement.  They write of media, print and web conspiracies, secret socities and 32mb of edram.  3rd parties have, over time, built their business to not rely on just one platform so continually looking to avoid the system makes sense.  Why waste money, time and resources supporting a platform when im sure these 3rd parties had the same forsight as the almighty Nintendo oracles?

And not turn this into a instant off topic situation, any mention of competitors systems (including handhelds) will be reported.

Why do you have to report it for? This statement right here is a little fishy...

Worst part is that some oracles believes Wii U is a pos but Nintendo must not release something new to try to fix it.



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile


I think many of those you refer to now are saying that Nintendo never really needed 3rd party support is fully an industry onto itself. And they're sort of right.

I for one consider most 3rd party games on WiiU a square peg trying fit into a round hole. The console is very capable of besting last gen graphics, performance, and experience, but does so in a way that doesn't match the approach used in competing platforms.



I predict NX launches in 2017 - not 2016

So?



I think you got it backwards buddy, John Lucas never predicted the Wii U would be an underachiever. He said the console would go on to sell 200M units.

By the way you don't need to be an oracle to see that the Wii U is a piece of shit. It just takes a little bit of brain cell usage.

As for complaints on the lack of third party software? I think you got it backwards too. I never saw Maelstrom complaining about the lack of third party support. Rather he says it's a consequence of the Wii U being a piece of shit.

It's okay though, everyone makes mistakes Train wreck. It's good that your username reflects your posts though, that's one thing you got right.

By the way, that person you don't want to mention I guess it's gotta be Rol right?

I mention John Lucas, Emily Rodgers and Maelstrom as individuals who believe they somehow know whats best and whats not for Nintendo and two of the three (Maelstrom and Emily) mentioned that the Wii U will have a difficult time.

"Rather he says it's a consequence of the Wii U being a piece of shit"  So im sure he and the other oracles would have believed that 3rd parties would be there if the Wii U was a success?

"By the way you don't need to be an oracle to see that the Wii U is a piece of shit"  I think you kinda do.  I have a Wii U and I believe it to be fine and im sure if you were to ask the majority of Wii U owners they would say the same. 

Those calling it a piece of shit (which you question why they would purchase one in the first place) tend to be the ones upset that there is little to no 3rd party support on it.
