Well, the support should have started with the ps3 which was the only one with a good free online but a lot of people show that paying for online isn't a issue. Now ps4 is leading the console wars which now require paying for online so supporting the Wii U won't change anything.

That's a roundabout way of saying only the PS4 is doing better than the Wii U in terms of home consoles, which kinda doesn't prove a whole lot. Add the 3DS if you include handhelds. And that has free online services too.

Hard to support a console when it doesn't appeal to you.

The Wii U is a cumbersome tax on gamers therefore I respectfully dissent with the OP.

People should be able to play Nintendo games on their HD console of choice.

Free online is great but its not a good enough reason to get a console if you don't like its games.

Then you acquire a new one, spend a few minutes of your precious time on the phone with an agent, get your NNID on your new system and download your games. Unless you're The Donald, where every minute of your time is worth hundreds of thousands of dollars and shifts the stock market, I don't think that's asking too much.

EDIT: I don't mean to come across as brash toward you specifically. I'm just tired of everyone who either doesn't own a Nintendo console or hasn't dealt with Nintendo customer service claiming your games are lost if the system is broken or stolen, or acting like dealing with customer service is trying to find a cure for cancer. It could be more convenient, but not nearly as bad as 90 percent of the Internet is making it out to be.

Here we go with this again.. >_>

So you're telling me with a Sony or MS system, using games I bought on a different console is as easy as typing a username and PW? So theoretically, me and friends could pool all of our games together across two or more systems by sharing the same account?

Also, ads are inconvenience on 360. Even with an Xbox Live paid membership, ads clutter the display, and make finding your games and apps harder to get to. Why shouldn't MS be more like Nintendo and have an ad-free OS, especially since you're already paying for its services? Why can't I use a third party HDD as well?

Vita memory cards are proprietary. Why isn't it more convenient like the 3DS, where you can use an SD card from any manufacturer? That would be so much less of a hassle. And why are there mandatory game installs on PS3 and PS4? If I don't want to purchase extra storage space or want to jump straight into a game, that is such a pain.

It's a somewhat good argument on the OP. Unfortunately, I can't support the Wii U when they offer nothing that appeals to me.

Then I believe I finally understand why everyone keeps whining for it nonstop. Also, I added more to my last post.
