Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Is now the worst time to be a Nintendo console owner?

No? Nintendo's 2015 lineup is pretty great for the Wii U and not bad for the 3DS. It's 2016 that I see as being problematic.

Maybe for you, but I own both a 3DS and Wii U and really like to play the games on them.

In 2016 yep. Right now though I have a lot more fun with the Wii U than either of the Xbone and PS4. PC has better stuff though...

absolutely IT'S NOT THE WORST TIME to have a nintendo's home console

if you are new to the WiiU, that means you have lots of games to play that you've never played on ps4 and xboxone, such as Bayonetta2,the wonderful 101, pikmin3, project 0, splatoon, mario series etc

for me, the reason i will never buy a ps4 or xboxone is that, i can play most of ps4 and xboxone game on PC, but i can't play most of wiiu games on pc.

No. The worst time was around 2008, when anyone who liked the N64/Gamecube era realised that it wasn't coming back and that Nintendo planned only to make a mixture of simplified games for a completely different audience and horrible spinoffs pretending to be the series you loved.

I already reconciled with that and now play PC games. If Nintendo make anything worth buying (Smash 4, Mario Maker) I will buy it.



The Gamecube days were worse.

The games were fine, but were harder to find in Australia. And it was apparently perfectly fine to openly mock Gamecube owners. If you didn't have a PS2 then you simply weren't cool.



Hmm, as standalone, it's hard to say when was the worst time to be a Ninten fan. All consoles had great games to play, which covered me each gen. Maybe the N64, since RPGs were basically non-existent. Though the worst time was easily...

The Virtual Boy B-)

To be on gaming foruns? Yes. It feels like is wrong to enjoy nintendo consoles.








Don't want to start a fight here but handhelds are portable consoles



 

 

We reap what we sow

The gamecube era was the worst. It was very very unpopular to own the " purple lunchbox" . it had no online play ( two games does not count ) it was the beginning of third parties completely disregarding a Nintendo platform ( n64 would at least get subpar ports or rushed exclusives from third parties ). It had fantastic games , like all Nintendo platforms do , but it just wasn't enough. There was no killer app for the gamecube as far as the public was concerned. Add lack of DVD play , a extreme ( even for Nintendo ) kid image at a time when games were just beginning to look somewhat realistic and it was a recipe for disaster .
