i dont think that it will be that much more powerful than the 360 as for launch titles im guessing the launch titles will be already available to the other consoles i dont think wii u will get many exclusive titles from many developers staright away at launch i think they will all wait and see wat happens with sales etc first. expect a wii u sports batman arkam city a couple more titles already available on other systems . wat they need is a metroid or zelda but i dont think u will c them straight off the bat

wat could possibly happen is nintendo could be producing a brand new ip to take on the mature market. i big epic 3 game saga i new mascott to take them into the future

I kind of doubt that. They already have Metroid and Zelda for "mature" titles, and they'll probably make some of their existing franchises a bit more "mature" to go with the new HD console.

I have to agree with NinjaShock on this. However there is a chance that they may release o
a new up that could do that. The presentation of the Wii U will need to be strong.

Why does everyone always forget Eternal Darkness?
As to counter your point about the 3DS failing, keep in mind to Combat the Vita you'll have the first year of the 3DS, plus the games that Nintendo is working on.
As for the WiiU needing more Mature games, Metroid, Zelda, Eternal Darkness are Nintendo's closest thing to "Mature" IPs. If anything, the WiiU could get it's "Mature" games from EA. They have a wide catalog of games and they are loving the WiiU if Peter Moore is to be believed.

Huh? When did I mention the Vita and 3DS??

[Eskimo_sam]

the fact that silicon knights have dropped a large amount of employees the thought of a eternal darkness 2 sounds like a pipe dream u have to remember eternal darkness was one of the gems that was overlooked back in the cube days. as for zelda its not mature minded but metroid prime and echoes was insanly good. and i feel if they made an epic metroid game hopfuly with something like the cryengine than i think nintendo will have sumthin nintendo need to branch out like say for example nickelodeon and nic. jnr nintendo for the men and a nintendo for the boys!!!

We need a new sonic game for the Wii U lolz

I agree 2012 is a defining year for Nintendo. If they screw this launch it would mean another five years of little to no hardcore games. It won't be the end of Nintendo hardware -- they could and will get casual gamers to upgrade throughout it's life. But the Wii U will be defined for gamers in 2012. Is it a port only system? Meaninto are the games released exclusive or ported? Are the exclusive games kiddie or violent? Are they even good? These questions must be answered. And Nintendo better have gAmes that show amazing graphics. Because people will expect it.

i totally agree with you. people and nintendo have to understand their fans have grown up. yes i want zelda, f-zero and their first party games. but if im in the mood to play GTA i dont want to have to buy another console just to do that.

On the other hand, fans have to understand that they're not the only generation. What's the point of catering to only fans when you'll be left with much fewer as their lives get busier?

I was talking to tron during that point, not you. Sorry

[Eskimo_sam]

i think if sony and xbox revealed a console now i wudnt be as worries knowing that they havnt worries ne that wii u will b out of date wen they do come out

[HaoSenVastForest]

I think that the wii U will be an uter failure or a completely awesome gaming device. Also the sales probubly won't go up untill the other nex gen counsles come out because they will notice that they don't have anything better but this works both ways. So really I think that this will be a kick butt counsle or end up in the trash like the Virtual Boy.

[Wertville]

dont understand your point. all i will say is if nintendo doesnt do right by third party developers and dont put the big hitters on the wii u... it wont be successful. the wii was a once in lifetime situation. it wont happen again.

You said that their fans have grown up, but the fact of the matter is that new potential fans are... uhhh... 'made' every day.
'Hardcore' titles aren't really necessary at all, and, as a matter of fact, keeping the good memorable classic franchises alive is just as, if not more, important. Someone who becomes a fan as a child is much more likely to be a fan when they're older.

Why do you think many older gamers still buy pokemon to this day, despite the fact that it is commonly regarded as a kids game? (Hint: Being a solid RPG is only half of it.)
