Did it help the Vita? 

Maybe that is why Vita sold out in the US :D

I think Wii U has been a yes since 3D World personally though Donkey Kong and Mario kart certainly don't do any harm either. It's nice to see something positive for Nintendo but I don't think it'll have much baring on sales on its own.



RIP Dad 25/11/51 - 13/12/13. You will be missed but never forgotten.

No.  It still costs way too much.  $200 is a fairish price though.

I still recommend people to wait for Smash. Then it will have a better library. Hopefully the games for 2015 don't get delayed.



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

You should see UK prices. Everything is cheap as chips in the US.

I am considering a WiiU because sometimes it is cool to have these surreal childlike experiences like DK or Mario.


When you really think about being "childlike", you think about things like being terrified about being seen as different. Most of us spend the majority of our public school days trying to either fit, or blend in. When we grow up, a lot of us well adjusted adults realize who we are and become comfortable with it. So when you REALLY think about it, dude bros and other 21-40 year old men who only want to play Madden, COD and Halo because they're "men" and wouldn't want to be seen dead playing Zelda...those are really the ones who are acting like children.

If you buy a Wii-U and abmit it openly as an adult? Yours is a life that is MOST adult lol

I'm telling you...it's the next Dreamcast. It's going to go from mock, ridicule and embarrassment to GOAT. In five years, it's going to be extremely sought after.


I will never sell mine to collectors! Never!


Smart man. It took me a decade to figure that out!!

It's too late for mainstream success most likely but Wii U isn't *that* bad of a console.

Nintendo unfortunately (but predictably) underestimated the jump from SD to HD and that's slowed down their game development.

Maybe Bayonetta 2 can surprise and win some GOTYs as well.

It is effectively Nintendo's Dreamcast, but the Dreamcast was a terrific little machine.

Believe it or not Smash isn't that big of a deal to everyone. 

I'd reccomend buying now especially if you can find a store doing a promotion or sale or can get a refurbed system from Nintendo for $200. 

Why? The Mario Kart 8 free game promotion runs out at the end of July. Get in now and get that free copy of Pikmin 3 or Zelda: WW.

Gaming sites will praise all the bad decisions Nintendo make, and try to shout down every good decision that they make.

 

What's this have to do with this situation? If it's even true at all?

The Wii U was a bad desicion. So they will find a way to praise the console.

But when they make a good desicion, like NSMBW, it will get shouted down. Like this.


An editorial with zero comments?

Either way, NSMBW gets tonnes of flak and I cant fathom ehy, I agree. But in the end, the console being a good or bad desicion is just opinion.
