Once again completly missed every point on marketing. I just.. i don't even. . I DON'T EVEN.


Who fking cares how annoying they are. Their money is as good as anyone elses. The Wii U will sink without them because the casual maket the Wii had has moved on,


I can't even attempt to be reasonable or logical with you fanboys anymore. bye bye. Enjoy getting slauterd in Sales by the Ps4 in the coming weeks.

I have to dismiss everything i said about this game,i just picked up another wii u ( it was CHEAP and i couldnt miss mario kart 8 when it comes out lol) this game is GREAT with very good graphics..the youtube vids ive seen of it make it look like not a far step up from the gamecube but man i was wrong....ive only done day 1 so far but the graphics are alot better than i expected and im really enjoying it...will post again when ive played a bit more oh i got my 32gb wii u with blops2 and pikmin 3 for £120 secondhand off a guy who wanted cash for a xbox one...i just couldnt resist at that price lol

Have you ever owned any other console at launch before? Because I would consider this to be pretty normal to slightly below par for a first year. If you're expecting them to get a new exclusive game for every year then you're going to be sorely disappointed with the other two systems. Speaking for first party, just because they have one development team at work on a Wii U game doesn't necessarily mean all the rest are ready as well. Nintendo does have another device to make games for and teams finish up work at different times so not everyone is able to begin working on their Wii U games at once.

Take Sakurai for example. Last year he was still busy at work with Kid Icarus until around March. Even if he jumped straight off of that project and on to Smash Bros. then he's still had less than two years to work on the game. It's going to be amazing if we see that game ready any time before fall or winter of next year. That being said I do think that Nintendo needs to work on expanding their staff and getting more studios under their belt as much as possible. Especially since third parties are basically giving the Wii U the finger. They can't rely on just Miyamoto and Sakurai forever. This is where I agree with Rich in that they do need to get new blood in to their company. Not necessarily people who are going to try to 'westernize' or CoD up Nintendo, I don't think anyone with half a brain wants that, but at least new people with new ideas. Nintendo needs a few more Retros and a few more close, almost second party, partners like Platinum.

To be fair, I've been watching for Reviewtech for a long time now, and Rich is a lot of things but he's no pony. He's actually one of the few people who has honestly given the Wii U a fair shot and sees it for both the goods and the bads. In fact, I'd say he has been one of the systems' strongest supporters outside of people who just come across as pure fanboys. He's not exactly wrong when he said they had a shot of knocking it out of the park this gen (There were going to be some things against them as always but they could have been so much more prepared). 

Where he is wrong though is acting as if there is something wrong with what Nintendo is doing based on nothing more than aesthetics, which is what I got out of that video. Whether or now people want to admit it, this industry NEEDS Nintendo. They need Nintendo to pump in fresh ideas and new concepts as well as basically being the only major company to go after the younger demographic and not treat them as second class consumers. Why in the hell would it be smart for them to give up doing what has made them money and instead try to compete for a demographic that is already getting so oversaturated that sales are going down? Do I think Nintendo could make a 'mature' game? Sure, and maybe that's what these guys are so annoyed about. They want to see one of the biggest and very best company show everyone else how it's done. But it's not their forte and that group is already well cared for.

Nintendo is basically the DIsney of gaming. They have the most iconic characters and appeal to the young while not abandoning the truly mature (C'mon, we all know you guys love to watch some classic Disney). They don't need to make gritty action movies because they already have their niche and they excel at it. 

I don't even say "Wii U" anymore.  I just say "the new Wii" or "Nintendo's new console, the successor to the Wii."
