The WiiU's Identity Crisis

KHooLz writes: "The Nintendo Wii will be marking its 5th year this November. The Wii's take on controlling games has endured mixed opinions, both good and bad. No one can deny the impact the console has had on the gaming industry. A wider audience of people are playing games and the ability to be able to pick up and play a game without investing a considerable amount of time is somewhat of a nod to classic games we had in the past."

I think the WiiU might be a fail.

tehReaper4685d ago

I don't think it will fail, but Nintendo has a long road ahead of them in terms of satisfying the hardcore. They have the right franchises, they just need to implement them in the right ways.

catch yourself on u CLOWN , how will a machine with better visuals and more refined and powerfull hardware better than the current gen be a fail , also the first console with an open network allowing developers a free run to do what they want, not to mention the second screen allowing for a far more inviting gameplay experience in FPS games. stop being a hater fanboy and realise that this machine will be inviting to gamers, i own all consoles aswell as a top end pc and im still excited about what the wiiU has to offer its sounding good

Hifist14685d ago

No, Wii U sounds like piece of shit to be honest. Controller looks clunky and i don't really care about Ninty's exclusives. So what's there for me? Nothing.

Achtung4685d ago

what about the ps4 being all kinecty...

now that's messed up.

jacksonmichael4685d ago

There is something in this video I want people to hear... http://www.youtube.com/watc...

I specifically mean the part about exclusives being irrelevant if they aren't the type of game you like. Because really, that's all you're saying.

jacen1004685d ago (Edited 4685d ago )

ok fanboy comment there i will over look that

charmer4685d ago

jacen1004685d ago

How Many More Victims, Like Garry's Mod, Will Nintendo's Hurtful Crusade Create?

Hanzala from eXputer: "As Nintendo takes out 20 years' worth of stuff from Garry's Mod, I watch in shock, thinking why it continues to hurt and discourage its fans."

The irony that some of the most disgusting business practices come from companies like Disney or Nintendo, i can't even begin to understand what terrible damage was Garrys Mod making to Nintendo bottom line, imho they're getting pretty nervous about where they're heading in the future, handhelds are no longer something exclusive to Nintendo, from Steam Deck to many others, now you can play the latest games and pay a fraction of the price on Steam sales, so it's up to their exclusives, which just on their own would make hard to justify purchasing a closed overpriced hardware with outrageous price policies (Super Mario Odyssey is still 60 euro 6 years later!), and as a home console they're always underperforming compared to Sony or Xbox.

i cam guarantee you, that their exclusives alone is what drives switch sales. they sell in the 10s of millions of copies.

nintendo created their franchises to be sort of nostalgia driven, exclusive only on nintendo.

people will always buy the pkmn games as they always bring in new younger fans amd is family friendly

mario kart, the same thing, mario games in general.

zelda games are system sellers. animal crossing for the casual gamers.

nintendo doesnt need third vame devs essentially. they made sure with the switch and the limitations that they looked more to pc ps and xbox.

its sad, but nintendo is more than fine with what they're doing. they positioned themselves to appeal to the more casual gamers.

but to your point, im not sure why they're doing this rly.

Inverno8d ago

Look at how they handled Nintendo games being streamed or uploaded on YouTube in the past. They killed Yuzu and Citra even when they had nothing to do with ToTK being leaked, not to mention it was basically unplayable on emulation the week it was leaked. Smash Bros tournament, that was fairly recent. They shut down their online services without any care for purchases made. I bought a switch after skipping their last 2 consoles and handhelds but I don't plan on buying anything Nintendo in the future. They take things to the extremes, they legitimately hate their fans. They're honestly right up there with the likes of Acti, EA, and Ubi, only difference is that they disguise themselves as being family friendly all the while being shady.

Nintendo's Massacre Of The 3DS And Wii U Is Finally Complete, Regrettably

Hanzala from eXputer: "The cruel hammer of Nintendo has fallen. Farewell, 3DS and Wii U, you surely brightened my life and many others; you won't be forgotten."
