Because it was a nintendo exclusive. And Mattel is not a household name anymore.

Obviously not with the Wii U because of the Gamepad, but if this takes off, they should for their next system, or at least have support from Occulus or whatever becomes the big name in it.

Not the next big thing.

Kinda neat. In a limited niche way.

Most will set it down and go back to big screen anyway

Wow, a lot of replies and all different responses! Well, I was thinking be the next console. The Wii U isn't designed for VR. But I think Nintendo will be able to fix what they did wrong before, and I think Nintendo can bring uniqueness too this market.

Mattel has had massive profits the past year making billions. So yes they are a household name. They been a Toy company for decades.

You're saying Barbie,Matchbox,Hotwheels,WWE are no longer selling?

 

Just because it;s exclusive is enough reason o say Nintendo made it? Then I guess Nintendo developed Conduit for WIi or Wii tennis rackets found in dollar stores.

Nintendo should definitely jump into VR.  Give them until approximately 2024, and they will get the ball rolling.

Imo I think Nintendo is kind of there with their A-symetric gaming albilities with the gamepad and wii-mote like the zapper.  It would be helmet free but the devs would really have to be creative to put the concept together in a game which I think would be cool and could put a new spin on some game genres that are over flooding the west as well as some old games be revived with a new type of controls and the gamepad screen is the main screen.  Games like the Time Crisis or House of the Dead series could have a fresh new spin added to the cotrols.  It's just nobody is doing anything creative with the gamepad really yet and waiting on Nintendo to do something first.
