Highly disagree, Splatoon's amazing gameplay, the most important thing, makes it well worth using a control scheme you already know how to use and actively use in 90% of games you play. Demanding/expecting games use the system's non-primary control scheme is silly in it of itself, but Wiimote controls psychically wouldn't even work in this game, not well anyway. Not enough inputs even without counting the second screen functionality, and how would turning work besides being awkwardly slow, a complete no no for a fastpaced game. For this type of game, wiimote controls would actually be the worst method as there's a lot more to it than simply aiming.

Because I've played it, quite a bit actually, which you'd know if you paid attention.  It's a game quite a few Nintendo fans like and use as an example of a Wii U game done right, yet I don't like it for very obvious reasons.  So yes it's a good example of a 'good' game that would be bad for me to purchase and it's certainly not my duty to own if I did own a Wii U.

Also, I will eventually own a Wii U.  Why you may ask?  Because it has at least one game I do like, Xenoblade Chronicles X.  However, I won't buy a Wii U until I can get the deluxe for $200 or less.  So far no dice.

I think that peoples opinion on Nintendo is going to change fairly soon. I think people are going to be very surprised when they see what Nintendo might be bringing to the table with the Switch. Based on what I've heard and putting 2 and 2 together. We're going to see some major changes with Nintendo's brand image.

Do you really think that your post frequency makes you a prominent VGC member that should be remembered? While your posts in NIntendo topics are pretty bad, they aren't remarkable. You earn a plus point for feeling the need to talk about Splatoon in response to a post that people shouldn't support certain publishers for the sake of giving money to them, but again, specifics will be quickly forgotten if you don't pull off another stunt like that on a more regular basis.

Some people will change their opinion if the Switch looks good, but others won't.
There are two possible scenarios: the Switch is underpowered (which is the most likely) or it's too expensive. (Or it's something in between, but then people will complain about both.)

 There will denfinitely be some critisism on the games too. People are now saying they want a new Metroid and F-Zero. But if these get announced, other people will say that Nintendo just keeps getting back to their old IPs and isn't innovative anymore.

It's just impossible to get everybody happy.

I don't think I could have worded it in a more arrogant self-righteous way myself.

Considering how much I love myself that's surprising.

What you're saying still lacks explanation, and if you do think the Switch reveal was good then I really can't understand why you're shocked that a good looking product isn't getting mass hate.

I reviewed the whole conversation we had in a properly awake state. I did indeed not connect the dots that you were refering to a post of yours that you had just posted minutes ago. That was a clear mistake on my part.

However, the entry point of the conversation is as weird as it was before. If you were trying to add nuance by mentioning an example, then it would have to be anything except a Nintendo game, because the person I talked to specifically excluded Nintendo games from the games he felt he had a "duty" to buy, meaning he has no problem to skip Nintendo games he isn't interested in. I suppose you read my post ("Your duty is to support good games...") as saying that good games are determined by Metascores and/or community consensus, but that interpretation doesn't hold up in the context of the entire conversation. He doesn't need to buy third party games to have a leg to stand on in arguments, so it doesn't matter how much other people insist that a game should have been bought.

That's why I started to question you, because I thought that you just wanted to say something negative about Nintendo. An assumption that isn't far-fetched based on your posting history; I don't need to remember specifics to be aware of the general attitude. Your initial post either needed a non-Nintendo game as example or a more elaborate explanation for what you were trying to say. By now you have provided a sufficient explanation.

That's it from my side, you can have the last word if there's anything left to say.

You know, if you're not interested in Wii BC, it makes next to no sense to get the more expensive version (if you get a game to go with Basic). I paid 220€ for my Premium model new, and didn't take long before I had to buy a USB stick, currently I have 128GB USB on it. Virtual Console version of Metroid Prime Trilogy don't work from the USB, so this is so far the only thing so far I've needed the Premium model.
