And the N64

My answer is a resounding yes. I love my Wii U but if Nintendo is ready to move on then I am too. Besides its not like my Wii U collection is going anywhere. It'll always be there ready for more gaming fun whenever I want. Technology is moving faster than ever. Its time that consoles evolve too.

So many games... even if they were to let it "die" it would still be a busy machine.

Yeah, I feel pretty much the same way, which is why I am not currently planning to buy an NX.

As a Nintendo fan since 1994, I am sick of them behaving the way they do; the lack of ambition and diversity, the refusal to adapt to the market, the delays and game droughts, etc.

The Wii U has made me very hesitant to invest in another console from Nintendo.

This. So much this.

Nintendo have to make changes on their core as a company, get along with the times, stop playing the "we dont compete directly with Sony and Microsoft" bullshit, be agressive, innovate in ways that push the industry forward, make amends with the third party companies, take more risks with new IP's (Splatoon hopefully made them understand that the world dont spin around Mario), etc.

There is so much untaped potential with Nintendo, but they settle with so little because nobody asks for better.

We know what will happen if they keep the Wii U. We don't know with a new console. There's my hope.

No - I have always wanted another year of great games! I am sure that if tehy wnated Nintendo could have pulled a few more great games. Star Fox - Zelda remake - Zelda U - We just neededed 4/5 more great games to make 2016 amazing!

Sometimes it is good to be different - we cannot say Nintendo did not deliver great games for WiiU - being different is not a problem We can easily say nintendo is investing in innovation and created new IPs too this generation - I don't agree with people that are not happy with Nintendo becasue it is not Sony - Nintendo should never be Sony - my owrry is that to sell tehy will give in and become just another one in teh market than at that point diversity - risk taking - innovation will be dead for me.

Are you kidding me? it happens all the time. People look at games like xenoblade x and bayonetta 2, wanting them to be on other platforms where they are not limited by hardware.

If releasing a powerful console earlier means killing off the wii u, I say go for it. Then Nintendo can have a platform where games aren't limited to last gen specs

If those games were on other platforms, the major difference would be resolution, not much more than that. I don't know about your wii u, but the one nintendo sells doesn't have last gen specs.
