Cant wait for the WiiU and the insane possibilities the controller will bring

Nintendo without you gaming would be dead

Which is why Sony took the crown from them at one point?

Edit:
Actually, they took Sony not only took to crown but did so at such a level they were blamed for the death of Sega as a console maker.

@compositiontheory:
What if Nintendo wasn't utilizing it as nothing more than a gimmick - you could use more than older Wii controllers with it.

AWBrawler4587d ago

but Nintendo was still around and they still were innovating.
Look at games like Odama which used microphone support, FFCC which used GBA as you controller so 4 players could have their own inventory and not clutter the screen, same with Zelda Four Swords.

And who can deny that some of the most innovative ideas that gen was robbed from Nintendo? Even the Okami creator admitted that Seeing Wolf link inspired okami.

Win lose or Draw, Nintendo affects the gaming world more than you think.

Now you even see remote play with Vita, touchscreen on vita, mic built in to Vita, Nintendo made that stuff famous. Can the hate.

Just imagine how many more ways they could include if it has multiple controllers. I really hope it does

etownthree4588d ago

Day one buy for me.

Can't wait to play Aliens:colonial marines using this controller.

With the WiiU being released next year, now I don't mind if the next Xbox doesn't come out till 2013-14

ThePsychoGamer4588d ago

I can't see the WiiU being a success unless Nintendo can get caught up with modern day gaming. Doing with some of there horribly outdated practices like region locking or not licensing titles they have no intention to bring to other regions.

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.

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.
