Forums - Nintendo Discussion - Time to update the Wii Bingo board?

I don't know. Besides:

Gamecube started well at first too…

It still looks all good to me. Instead of saying:

Where are the third parties? LOL!

I might say "Third Parties, LULZ!"

The genius of Wii Bingo is everyday more apparent. It was built to last!



Around the Network

Nintendo relies to much on its existing IPs and doesn't come up with anything new.
Maybe not in those exact words maybe something like I'm sick of Mario.

1. PS3 is following PS2 sales, so it will easily sell over 100 million consoles.
2. Third parties don't want their games to look like last gen
3. The Wii is a virus
4. All my friends that have a Wii don't touch it anymore
5. Most people buy it as a WiiSports machine
6. WiiSports/WiiPlay/WiiFit don't count

For instance, I don't think anyone not literally wearing a tinfoil hat is still arguing that the Wii's momentum might die like the Gamecube's.


You would think so, but you'd be wrong:

Can Nintendo rebound from these problems? I highly doubt they will. The Nintendo Wii is getting ready to go the way of the N64 and Game Cube in the near future.

(If the guy wears a tinfoil hat you could still be right of course) 

I'll think of some suggestions for the board later :)

Around the Network

Here's the list so far of "real" suggestions:

Third parties can't profit on Wii.
Nintendo is slowing down technological development.
The Wii has a low attach rate.
All the big games has had a massive sales drop after the first week.
My Wii is collecting dust right now.
All of my friends don't play with the Wii consoles anymore.
The Wii is like a virus.
The Wii is too inferior to handle all the serious games.
The Wii is full of shovelware garbage.
People get tired of waggling all the time.

Parokki
Maybe replace Pachter with just any analyst?

(@ NJ5: wow)

RolStoppable:
Only games with "Wii" or "Mario" in the title sell on the Wii.
Games are dumbed down, see Mario Kart Wii!!! LULZ
What if the novelty of the Wiimote wears off?
When Sony/MS release this peripheral, Wii sales will slow down...
Why would you want to swing around your arms in an RPG? LOL!!


Here are the ones I like:

Low attach rate!
MY Wii just collects dust.
My friends all got tired of the Wii.
The Wii is too weak for REAL games.
WAGGLE!!! lol
(thanks totalwar23!)

"Pachter says..." ==> "Analysts say..."
(thanks Parokki)

Nintendo just milks its old IPs!
(thanks amp316)

(Sorry BengaBenga, your best ones are already on the bingo board)

What if the novelty of the Wiimote wears off?
Games are dumbed down for casuals.
(thanks RolStoppable)

And I would add:
Only casuals and Marioboys buy the Wii.

Hmm...we've got nine or ten here. Maybe we can get enough for a whole SEQUEL to Malstrom's board, rather then just an update! (24 + FREE/IBWF) (And really, there weren't that many needing an update. fkusumot is right.) In that case we can add in the ones that were kinda similar to existing squares:

Third parties can't REALLY profit on Wii.
Shovelware!!1!
(totalwar23 again)

WiiSports/WiiPlay/WiiFit don't count.
People buy it as a Wii Sports machine.
(thanks BengaBenga)

When THIS comes out on PS360...
(RolStoppable again)

And mine:
Wii fad will die soon.

We're up to 16 + F/B! Only eight more to go and we have Wii Bingo II! If someone can think of something about the online that's clearly insane to believe, add it, please.

Here are some more (credit to Million):

Nintendo already used all its major IPs!
The casual market is unpredictable.
The Wii already looks dated now.
When MS and Sony release their next consoles with motion sensing controllers, the Wii is finished.
The only way Nintendo can keep selling is to release the Wii 2.

Well, I don't know what the last sentence exactly means, but that's not my problem.
Nintendo already used all its major IPs!
The Wii is last gen (plus waggle)
Wii is doomed unless WiiHD is released soon.
