Oh no, I hope we don't get swarmed with his alts...

Anyway I think pretty much everyone that isn't banned expected this, though I'm not sure how Nintendo thinks it will "fight on" I'd be surprised if they were even still manufacturing the console by the end of this year.

That's the exact opposite of fighting on.

Even more when they say if you want a WiiU you better run to get one, because they are discontinuing it.

Wii U is dead.
Nintendo will put all their time and work in NX. They won't wast them with the Wii U.




Dr.Vita talks about Playstation Vita in 2016!
Playstation Vita Media Create Sales (2014 vs 2015 vs 2016)
Playstation Vita Japan Retail Software Sales (2013 vs 2014 vs 2015 + 2015 LTD Edition)
Prediction: Nothing will outsell PSP anymore (except Playstation home consoles)

Breath of the Wild will be profitable once the game sells more than 2 million units, which is odd, because it sounds like a tiny quantity for the most ambitious Nintendo game of all time.

 

to be honest in terms of games production costs nintendo is still more like an indie developer then a real aaa developer.

 

No full voice acting and (in comparison)  very limited marketing costs make development and co alot cheaper.

 

Also 100 people ist not THAT much, if you compare it to other big open world aaa games (witcher 3 300 people + full voice acting in 5 or so languages).

And for this people wanted to stay "alive" until 2017. People don't know what they want anymore...



Proud to be the first cool Nintendo fan ever

Number ONE Zelda fan in the Universe

DKCTF didn't move consoles

Prediction: No Zelda HD for Wii U, quietly moved to the succesor

Predictions for Nintendo NX and Mobile

So there's like...two retail games left for WiiU, expanded across almost a whole year?

I mean, there probably will be some eShop games here and there in the middle but...oh, man. Nintendo is seriously encouraging people here to go play on a different console.

Two Nintendo retail games, there will Just Dance, Lego..

Thats right thing to do, Nintendo can't support already dead platform and actual risking NX have another weak and spare launch lineup and software droughts. Also NX is only 8 monts away.
