You dont have to be a Nintendo fan to own a 3DS or be a console person...

 

Whatever, there are obviously Nintendo fans who don't like the Wii U.

You can't really know that from one small video, especially with Nintendo games for which we know some new staffs about them right before launch. Seriously, you cant say game is bad based on first small video, especially because game actually looks very interesting,

 

So I can't say the game is bad based on actual reasons, but you can say it's interesting because nothing. And again, speak for yourself, I saw all I needed to. Generic characters, shallow pointless battle system, disconnected world, and so ons, all crap that is exactly the same in Sticker Star. I'd love for anyone to try and show me how the game isn't Sticker Star 2.

The WiiU is a solid console. Its power has nothing to do with why companies arent putting their games on it.

Whatever NX is it better be something spectacular. Even just "pretty good, it fixed a lot of the Wii U's mistakes" isn't good enough at this point I don't think. I guess we'll find out soon enough.

Well, time to pick up so Wii U games before they start selling their weight in gold.

I think Pikmin should be available at launch with Zelda & all the other titles, Pikmin offers such a different gameplay that it might manage to convince into purchasing NX more people. also, knowing that the game was almost done in early 2015 I think that Nintendo will push this time to have 2 Pikmin games on the same system/ a new IP by the Pikmin team ...

I definitely don't. Pikmin isn't a killer app. It isn't even slightly this juggarnaut franchise. The NX won't need it at launch to sell. What Pikmin if good for is being a library filler, like Donkey Kong Country Returns or Wonderful 101. Of course a few people will buy an NX for a new Pikmin, but most people buying a game like Pikmin will be people looking for new games to buy on a platform they already own. It will be a far more useful game to have in February, maybe early instead of late. Something to fill in the gap between another killer app in mid March or something so that there is a steady stream of first party games releasing throughout 2017, which will be crutial for the success of the NX.

If Nintendo can get a killer app out in mid March, late May/early June, early September, and then holiday 2017, sprinkled in with some library fillers like Pikmin 4 throughout the year, the NX is going to be a very scary force to contend with. With Nintendo combining their home and handheld console divisions, this is doing to be a very real and easily achievable possibility. NX Nintendo ain't yo daddy's Nintendo.

but that's the point , MK9 will be ready to release whenever they want in 2017, probably if they wanted they could have rushed it to launch title since MK8 released may 2014, they can release Pikmin at launch and have just one First Party title in the gap febbruary (since Launch titles will take January too to complete) - april ...

You treat Pikmin as if it isn't that big of an IP but let me ask: when was the last time NIntendo strongly advertised a Pikmin game ? because as far as I know they never did, or if they did it shure wasn't at the same level as say Splatoon or Mario Kart. but still it managed to sell 1M+ with each entry, most of the times on struggling home consoles...

Sony and MS dont have them, yet their consoles are selling better...

Vita isn't.

Their consoles are selling better because they have better designed consoles for the biggest market with access to vastly more popular games. If Nintendo released a console of the same caliber as those two with the same level of support and exclusive third party content and marketing deals, there wouldn't be a contest of who'd be winning right now. Nintendo would be by a landslide, because they have an infinitely more valuable arsenal of exclusive IP.

I don't know if Nintendo learnt the lesson but I'm positive Kimishima knows what to do...

I could see some (former WiiU) games being very easy to port to WiiU.. and not reqiure much "additional resources"..

And Why not.. keep promise.. make money.. Win Win.. :)

They will keep promise, Pikmin 4 was never actually announced, especially like Wii U game.

The "keep promise" was to the Nintendo statement saying they would release more game on WiiU..

And actully.. Dont understand why people think its so crazy.. that nintendo could port some NX games and release (mayby only in eshop) on WiiU in the first year.?

(we know zelda u will likely be on both consoles.. is so fare away to think other games also to be avalible on WiiU.. I mean 3. part do it always when we have new consoles.. and I think some Sony/MS games also was multi console first year)

But ok.. I will shut up.. be happy.. go Nintendo :) (and offcourse bumb this tread if it happens)

Saying that game is bad and saying that looks interesting are very different things. Nobody can show you that game isn't or it is Sticker Star 2 because we still dont know almost anything about game.
