Not region locking there systems would be a good one.

LX-General-Kaos4432d ago

The strategy is already pretty much laid out on the table.

The Nintendo Wii U entertainment system itself is already a fine piece of work. Now in HD, strong, and equipped with an innovative tablet controller that can act partially as a futuristic controller for core experiences. Or completely shifted into a casual friendly experience. It contains all of the functions that you would need for the ultimate gaming experience no matter what your style of play is.

Second the strategy for games released is already spot on for success. Nintendo exclusive in house AAA experiences will sprinkle in throughout the years. Combined with the best 3rd party has to offer. Nintendo exclusive experiences combined with 3rd party is an unmatched experience on console. Best of both worlds.

All of that with a low affordable rumored price of 299.99

The strategy has worked so far worldwide for the Nintendo 3DS entertainment system. It will likely also work for the Nintendo Wii U entertainment system.

Have a blessed day and happy gaming.

Hello? Yes this is sanity.
No, he is not home right now.
K, bye!

yabhero4432d ago

I know you guys don't like him, but this time, what he said made perfect sense.

ChickeyCantor4432d ago

It's not that "I don't like him". It's more the fact that he sounds like a PR dude on a mission.
It's rather annoying. Even if he makes a good point.

I know, I know! I don't have to read it. But still he could really just comment like a human rather than a corporate robot. It's pretty scary you know.

mike1up4432d ago

If you're not in sales, or marketing, then you need to be.

Absolutely love the comments, so don't ever change.

DA_SHREDDER4432d ago

From what I seen so far all the WiiU is missing is L3, R3 buttons. Also no clue how the online is gonna be? I hope its at least on par with the PSN, but with the Nintendo charm of course.

Khordchange4432d ago

CVg, do all they talk about is smartphones and tablets these days?

Great news it shows that Nintendo intends to continue developing ports of AAA games to its next gen platform

H921d ago

Buying studios from embracer now is a great deal, they must be dirt cheap at this point, Nintendo is a opportunist, they wait until someone fall so they get their best deal

OtterX21d ago

That is some serious brain gymnastics you have going on there. 🤔

H921d ago

I didn't do any gymnastics I can assure you, honestly I don't know why you think that, not hating I seriously don't see why you think that

ZeekQuattro21d ago

Yeah I don't know where that came from. It's rare for Nintendo to flat out aquire studios. Guess they were trying to be edgy but why flex on this studio. 🤣

Kneetos20d ago

At least they are safer from layoffs with Nintendo then any other company

banger8821d ago

I hope someone buys Piranha Bytes, their future isn't looking good right now. I love their RPGs, they're janky as f***, but they have heart and soul.

Relientk7721d ago

Nintendo saw the Mortal Kombat 1 Switch port and were like, "Yeah, these guys are worth acquiring."

You can't make this crap up lol

Profchaos21d ago

Mortal Kombat 1 was never going to port well I'm sure they told wb it wasn't going to work but wb wants that sweet sweet 140 million install base

In the end wb approved the project cleared the milestones and allowed the product to release

SonOfOsiris21d ago

Yeah this guys ported MK11 which is great, Hogwarts Legacy which is great, and MK1 is now ok, play it every day

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."

RiseNShine38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

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.

gold_drake38d ago (Edited 38d ago )

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.

Inverno38d 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.
