#294393 If you were in charge on Nintendo...

I don't think anyone in this thread would deny the Wii U launch was not successful. 

 

I'll deny that quite happily. I'd say the Wii U had a nice launch. It arrived in November and by December it had already sold 3 million units (Excuse the use of IGN, it was the first thing I could find). 3 million in two months is solid, at least in my opinion.

 

It was the period after launch - you know, most of 2013, that killed the Wii U's momentum. That was where things went wrong.

...and you feel a great emptiness deep inside and you can tell that something is missing and you know that you'll never be truly happy until it's there?

 

Well, worry no more, because I'm here to fill that emptiness!

 

Hello good people of Earth, and other such nations (sorry, been watching  too much Futurama) FlamingFury here broadcasting live from Australia, except, you know, with out the broadcasting and the live parts. Don't worry though, I'm not dead.

 

I'm currently unemployed (occupational hazard of being a high-school student), but I'm looking to rectify that in the near future. As all the smart people can already tell, I'm still in school which means I didn't grow up with Mario or Zelda ever being 'the most popular title' ala Ocarina of Time and Super Mario Bros., I've never played a SNES or a Gamecube or a Virtual Boy (thank God), but I've given every other console Nintendo's had a spin. 

 

I've owned my Wii U since launch and have been a stalwart supporter of Nintendo ever since they won me over from Sony, with the greatness that was Mario Galaxy. Rather recently, (2011) I discovered true gaming when I played, and fell in love with, the Legend of Zelda.

 

Anyway, this website seems nice, (really digging the aesthetics), and I can't wait to contribute to this community.
