Argue what? Your AAA obsession?

So is it wrong to expect AAA games on an expensive platform when games cost $60 mostly and above $40 in general? I would never buy a console for indie or mid tier games, and I would never buy these games at $40, maybe $20.

When no one else is making AAA games, Nintendo should have done it but yet they don't and both their mid tier games and remasters of single games cost too much.

And your original comment stated that Sony and MS haven'tr made as many games as Nintendo this gen, but that is because they don't have as many low budget titles and both PS4 and XB1 are getting many more in the future, all the while having tons of third party games of a variety of genres.

Nintendo didnt make many AAA games for the Wii either. Their games dont need a 50M budget to be good. Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, Captain Toad, Splatoon etc. proves that.

Nintendo failed Wii U owners by not ensuring there was enough content, either from themselves or third parties.

That has absolutely nothing to do with porting Wii U games to 3DS though. Or are they failing NES owners by porting those titles to Wii U?!?

There are many good indie games too doesn't mean they are system sellers or even worth my time when there are better games. Captain Toad is one of those mid tier games I'm talking about. Tropical Freeze is a 2D platformer that I can never consider worth more than $20. Splatoon is a good game, but I enjoy Overwatch more.

Sony and MS have many good games that are worth spending $60 and most of these Nintendo games just aren't worth that. Big production values can change how a game feels, any tier of game can be good but bigger budgets are often used to make them memorable as well. I've played some good games on smartphones too doesn't mean I'd buy them.

We shouldnt talk anymore. Nothing good will come of it.

Yes clearly since there is no real argument for Nintendo's support for Wii U.

It will easily go down as the worst Nintendo-console so far, but there are still some really good games on it and i don't feel betrayed

Word of advice for next time. If someone is trying to agree to disagree, don't leave posts that will bait them into continuing. I know getting the last word is important, but there's no need for this.

I still honestly personally like it better than the Wii.

Mario Kart 8 was better than Mario Kart Wii.

Smash U was better than Smash Brawl.

NSMBU was better than NSMB Wii.

DKC: TF was better than DKC Returns.

Plus going to HD was a large, tangiable jump, Wii was just a GameCube with a different controller a lot of (mostly mediocre) mini-game/shovelware titles.

Wouldn't surprise me if Breath of the Wild is better than both Skyward Sword and Twilight Princess (which is really a GameCube game).

Plus there was a surprising amount of new things on the Wii U ... Mario Maker, Splatoon, Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta, Captain Toad, Wonderful 101, LEGO City.

Wii brought back Punch-Out!, Sin & Punishment, and Excite!, but Wii U brought back Pikmin, Yoshi, and Star Fox.

Even in third party support, I'd say Zombi U, Rayman, Call of Duty: BLOPS2, Batman: Arkham City, Assassin's Creed 3/IV, Watch Dogs, Deus Ex, Tekken Tag, Need For Speed, are just from a *quality* standpoint as good if not better than the best Wii third party games. 100 million units doesn't mean a whole lot when it doesn't translate to better content for the player. 

Don't get me wrong, I have several big issues with the system and Nintendo made a lot of stupid decisions with it, but honestly I think I enjoyed it more than Wii. The main things that really blew me away on Wii were the two Galaxy games and Xenoblade I guess ...? But Mario 3D World, Splatoon, and Mario Kart 8 more than hold their own with that trio.

I've gotten a lot of playtime out of Wii U between Splatoon, Xenoblade X, Mario Kart 8, Smash 4, the Zelda remakes, Call of Duty: Black Ops 2 (my first CoD experience actually :p ), Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Captain Toad, and quite a few others. Not to mention the eShop games and VC and backwards compatibility with Wii games. I'm happy I bought a Wii U. I wasn't for the first year, until WWHD came out. But after that, things got a lot better, as I always knew they would. And Splatoon and Xenoblade Chronicles X alone would have been worth it for me. 500+ hours between those two games alone.

That being said, 3DS has always had, and always will have a better library. I'm just hoping NX can truly unite the handheld and console games from Nintendo so they'll all work for the same system. Console Zelda plus Pokemon and Fire Emblem? Yes, please!



Upcoming Games To Get

Definite: Kirby Star Allies (Switch), Mario Tennis Aces (Switch), Fire Emblem (Switch), Yoshi (Switch), Pokemon (Switch), Kingdom Hearts 3 (PS4), Monster Hunter World (PS4)

Considering: Fe (Switch), Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze (Switch), The World Ends With You (Switch), Ys VIII (Switch), Street Fighter V: Arcade Edition (PS4), Kingdom Hearts 2.8 Remix (PS4), The Last Guardian (PS4), Shadow of the Colossus HD (PS4), Anthem (PS4), Shenmue 3 (PS4), WiLD (PS4)

I feel the opposite, that Wii was a lot better than Wii U.

The Galaxy games destroy 3D World, it had a proper, high quality Metroid in Prime 3, Xenoblade 1 was better than X, it had two great Zeldas, (one of which was available at launch) and it was still getting the likes of Monster Hunter Tri, Goldeneye 007, Sonic Colours/Racing, Call of Duty, etc in its fourth year, whereas Wii U's third party support was nonexistent after the first 12 months.

At this point I've bought pretty much everything I'm interested in for both consoles, (excepting Breath of the Wild and Yooka Laylee on Wii U, if they even end up releasing on the system) and my Wii collection is far larger than my Wii U one.
