Forums - Nintendo - My biggest Wii U dissapointment

Mr Puggsly on 24 May 2016

I basically just use Nintendo consoles for stuff I cant get on Xbox or Playstation. So I have no significant complaints, it had good stuff.

No Nintendo console gives its fans everything they want.

While I see the distinction, 3D Mario World was an excellent game so I don't feel cheated there.

Really, there's few things I'm disappointed about with the system; we even got an unexpected, fun new franchise in the form of Splatoon!

I suppose if there's one longshot I think they missed out on it's a new, deeper Pokemon Snap with Pokken Tournament style graphics. If any game was meant for the Wii U and its gamepad, it was clearly Pokemon Snap, and I just don't understand how no one made that connection when trying to find use for said gamepad. It would have been a match made in video game heaven.

Otherwise, I'm content with the lineup we got for the Wii U.

You see inputs in the same place? You need your eyes checked out cheerio mate.

The Dualshock and the 360 controller are the size of the Gamepad's screen - that alone makes the inputs in a different location than a actual traditional controller.

 

In relation to where your thumbs are which is what matters? Uh nope, they are in the same exact location. The space inbetween the left side inputs and the right side inputs is bigger of course, but not big enough to be a real issue and they certainly don't affect how the inputs function. Now please address my point that games are played on it in the exact same ways as regular controllers would as that's the single most important thing. Also I snipped out the rest of your post since it's mostly just repeating yourself and off tangent ranting.

Well you cant play any of the games without a wiimote, so why would you want to access it?

Because the Idea of controlling a Wii game on the Gamepad is alluring for most games. Strikers isn't very strictly tied to motion control options. And since a lower resolution on the gamepad isn't as pixelated as on the big screen, it would be a nice feature for some.

I dont think you got the question...

Nintendo would have to go back and reprogram every game on the Wii VC to be compatible with the Wii U Gamepad and Pro controller.

Nope, they just need reprogramm the wii OS on wiiu, telling the console to make the wiiu gamepad compatible with wii pro controller and gamecube controller options in the wii OS

They did. Good job MS. Nintendo did not do that.

So why did you defend nintendo all the time prior?

I dont defend Nintendo all the time. Just when I think they do something right or the hate is unjust.

My biggest disappointment was XCX not being the best game ever, and being a pretty meh experience overall.

i think people on this site put way too much faith in that game.

virtually no asymmetric gameplay, very short ange for the game pad and terrible batt life
there are so many more but the reason it is sofustrating is the game pad could have been a very cool anduseful innovation but they did not buy into it enough themselves

This proves you are completely clueless and also proves you need glasses.

So lets leave it at that.

 

Bummer, I thought you were better than this, but alas you've stooped to petty insults to cover for your lack of actual arguments. It's really not that hard to have an intelligent toxicity-free discussion and provide reasonings to back up your claims, but not everyone is as capable I guess.
