Forums - Nintendo - Why I think Nintendo Switch is set for another Wii U disaster.

That rumour isn't going to make a difference. We know roughly how powerful it will be already and the consequences that will come of it, confirming that it's +/- 20% won't change anything.

Power will be an issue for the Switch, but it's far from its biggest one. I haven't been around for the past year or so, so I'm sure this has been discussed to death.

You sound like someone that knows too little about the wii that can only think on wii sports and wii fit while ignoring the wild variety of games Nintendo put in it. 

You mean the mario/kirby/ donkey kong/zelda?  Nothing  special  been doing  that for years and years.

 

Edit: doesn't  mean there  bad games btw i also had a wii,just noo variety  or something  different. 

Or you didnt look for it, what about games like Xenoblade Chronicles, Metroid Prime Corruption, The last story, Muramasa, Sin and punishment 2, Trauma Center, Little King Story, De Blob, Dead Space Extraction, Silent Hill Shattered Memories, Pandora's Tower, No More Heroes 1&2, Red Steel 2, MadWorld etc etc etc

That console is plenty of gems, just because you were not looking into it doesnt mean they arent there.



I don't have a good vibe from it either. With the Wii U beeing dropped hard, i don't expect consumer trust to be high on Nintendo home consoles.

If it doesn't have power to run cross gen ports, then i don't think it will catch-on. Maybe if they do try to merge their portable business into it. But, i think they are waiting to see how it performs before deciding that.

Well alot of "real" gamers are idiots.

Noo, the wii whas by far Nintendo's weakest gen.

Too much casual sport,wii balance board crap.

Way to over generalize, thats no different than someone saying all PS3/360 had was mediocre shooters aimed at teenage boys.

Both statements are false and all 3 last gen consoles had a ton of great games.

Besides, that has nothing to do with anything, the discussion was about Wii being a success/failure and Wii was a huge success in literally every relevant metric.

your point???? All you are doing is changing goal posts.

90% of good PS3 games are on 360 and vice versa, does that somehow make them bad games?

You are literally making no sense.

Then maybe  read a little  bit back,the wii whas a failure  in many gamers  eyes because  Nintendo  themselves  didn't  support  it that much...

 

Couple of mediocre  to bad third party  games doesnt mean ninty did  a good job,they sold 100+mill systems and made what 8-10 games?  ( not counting  wii sport crap)

 

But i agree this is not ontopic and also let's  not forget  i clearly  said switch will be a success.

Well oke true  you have  a point.

 

Sport games the only  genre i dont like

Then may I presume you are not a fan of the FIFA franchise?  Yet here is a game that can sell 10 million units that you do not like but would not consider it a success?

We can't define success based on our own interests.  Many people feel resented by the Wii's success because they feel it was unfair to have achieved such success while never targeting them as a gamer.   But that's a psychological and emotional reaction that doesn't change the reality.  That fact doesn't dimish the fun and enjoyment they got out of their PS3's and X360's. 

I don't resend  anything  or anyone. 

I applaud  the  success  ninty made  with the wii,it just could have been soo much better and hence why the wii dropped like a rock.

All those were Wii exclusives at release Only 2 or 3 of those ended on a different console later but probably you didnt even knew about them until they came to sony consoles.

Yes, those are not all from Nintendo because you were complaining about a lack of diversity outside the tipical Nintendoi games, so there you have it, variety. And if now you are gonna complain about exclusively the lack of variety of Nintendo first party output then you need to wake up, Nintendo first party library is by far the bigger in number and the more diverse in genres out of the 3 big ones.
