#228803 Why are people saying Wii U doesn't have good third party support?

Posted by IvyT on 04 July 2013 - 11:50 AM in Wii U Games and Software

Either way, I don't think people buy their Wii U for these third-party titles we're missing out on. Most of us have a PS3 and/or a PC too, and we buy the Wii U for the amazing exclusives and occasionally for those ports that get better features on the Wii U port.

 

Those of us who don't own another console are usually not interested in most third-party games anyway. Is it so hard to believe not everyone likes AAA games? Most of them are overrated; graphics aren't everything. Nintendo games are fun.




#228801 Ex-Vigil employee who said " Wii U is horrible", now changed his mind.

Personally, I think this has been a trend with Nintendo consoles these past few years. Nintendo isn't afraid to put out there devices that are different, that might bring new people to gaming, even if it costs them some of the more "hardcore" audience, because they know, in the end, their contribution is what helps the gaming industry grow and develop further.

 

When the Wii was launched, the feedback was pretty much the same we're getting for the Wii U now. Same goes for the Nintendo DS and the 3DS. At first, everything new is always met with some kind of reluctance, there's a period of time where support for it is rough until people start getting used to the idea.

 

The problem with Wii U this time, and as Nintendo themselves has admitted, is the lack of good marketing. Nintendo has always excelled with marketing their products, but I think this time they've lost themselves a little bit too much on the 3DS. Also, I suspect that them being the first "next-gen" console is making them unsure about what to do next until Sony and Microsoft do their moves. They're being careful, but I miss the boldness that has always caracterized Nintendo.

 

I think E3 has finally shown us that the Wii U has a lot of unexplored potential, and it seems like things are finally moving to a good place, and I think slowly everyone else is starting to see it too.

 

It might take time but eventually Nintendo grows on everyone's hearts  ^_^

Many thanks! That worked perfectly  :)




#228706 First 2 Wii U games to buy?

Posted by IvyT on 04 July 2013 - 04:20 AM in Wii U Games and Software

I'm in the same situation, but since I already own a PS3, I'm looking to get the Nintendo exclusives first, so NSMBU, Lego City, Monster Hunter 3 are all great options imho. Looking forward for Pikmin 3 and the WW HD remake  ^_^

 

Oh and Trine 2 sounds like a great experience on the Wii U. Excellent game overall, but from what I've heard there's some extras on the Wii U version.




#228704 What Nintendo franchise do you want to see as an anime?

Posted by IvyT on 04 July 2013 - 04:15 AM in The Café

Voted for Zelda even though there's already an animated series... Pretty old stuff, I'd like to see a reboot or something. It's one of those franchises that has real potential.

#228702 System Memory Info

Posted by IvyT on 04 July 2013 - 04:09 AM in Wii U Games and Software Help

Is there a way to know how much space we have left of our system memory? I've looked everywhere on the system settings, but I might be missing something.

#228597 An old Nintendo fan returns

Posted by IvyT on 03 July 2013 - 05:53 PM in Introduction Central

Hello I'm Cat and I'm from Portugal. I've owned Nintendo systems since I was very young, starting by inheriting my dad's SNES (which still works!) and then by getting my first Game Boy at the age of 6.

 

I dabble a bit in everything, but in the past few years I've dedicated more time to Playstation systems and PC gaming. However, playing the good ol' Nintendo franchises on my NDSi made me remember the amazing experience that is owning a Nintendo system. So I decided to get myself a Wii U for my birthday!  :P

 

I'm looking forward not only to all the new releases for this year and the upcoming one but also to catch up on all those Wii games like Skyward Sword, Xenoblade Chronicles, Super Mario Galaxy, etc. that I never got to play!

 

Oh and feel free to add me on the NN or on the PSN  ^_^
