Nintendo be like:

 

I don't think that was their plan at all. Their plan seemed to be to make a console that would piggyback off the Wii's huge success by adding a new control feature (touch) that would appeal to non gamers. Then they would back that up with their stable of IP's that appeal to the Nintendo fanbase. 

 

The problem is, the non gamers that ate up the Wii, don't really care about the Wii U. So Nintendo is in a pickle right now. 

So is this a bad time to become active on the forums?

Just as long as it's out by the end of 2013.

Power isn't everything. By the way a bit of interesting convo I had with some friends of mine who are avid xbox users who would trash the wii.

I told them the basics about it, and then I offered them a scenario. 6 player local COD. (They're big cod fans) 2 people on gamepads, 4 people with pro controllers on the television. That is how they should market the wii u. They were sold, they both want it now. I even told them that while it was far more powerful than the xbox, it probably would be outclassed by the ps4 and xbox 720 in terms of graphics, but they didn't care. They saw the vision of the wii u. I think that this console can really thrive with the right application.

God I don't want a galaxy 3, I will officially abandon Mario. Galaxy was awful, and then made a sequel with less originality
Than the first. Please make something new and original.

I disagree strongly. Galaxy 2 is the pinnacle of platforming. No it's the best 3d platformer ever created.

Have you guys seen pikmin 3? It's good enough for me.

Pretty self explanatory. Obviously there will be a new 3d Mario game for the Wii U. So which style do you want it to be in?

I personally would love a sunshine 2, but wouldn't mind a galaxy 3.

I would however like the secrets and exploration from sunshine and 64 to return in some manner.

stop bringing tech into it 3rd party support has nothing to do with it in any way shape or form ps2 was idiot" architecture."  did that stop the whole industry building engines for it NO ....

its anti nintendoism that is to blame and sadly its not going away but those guilty of it are going away there all loosing money and dieing a slow death the industry see's nintendo as competition not format its not going to change,how many times do they say only nintendo games sell on the nintendo systems ,what that actually means is we cannot compete with nintendo ,they need to accept this fact get over it move on and make games that sell and profit thats there problem not nintendos...

im actually piiissed with nintendo they could have nuked the industry this gen took it out completly but they backed of there disruption plan was working it could have been biblical nes destroyed the usa computer industry in the 80s wii could have seriously took out EA and just about everyone ,dont get me wrong sony was destroyed and a lot of 3rd partys but its like nintendo sucked them dry but didnt kill the victim kept it alive i would have destroyed them all and re stasrted gaming from scratch

3rd partys are not going to back wii remote plus and gamepad it will be as usual with these men in suit birdmen who dont have a single clue about gaming

whilst sony and ms had a hardrive size war nintendo saved gaming lol at harddrive size war you couldnt make up how dumb this industry is

I hope you feel good calling me an idiot from behind your sad little computer screen. I believe that tech does play a factor, and that is not the only point I brought up, I highlighted other things such as install base, and attach rates. Please climb out of your cold fanboy hole, and see that there is a whole other side to this penny.

Nintendo better not pull a swapnote. I don't want to have to close one app, then open another, just to message someone with my poor handwriting.

I've never owned a COD game, genre doesn't interest me, but I might buy this one just to show off my Wii U to my friends.

Finally, you filthy euro trash have been getting pampered by Nintendo for the last couple years. Time to give some love to the REAL superpower. Just kidding, just kidding. I feel for you guys, but you did get xenoblade and last story months before us so, you know....

i wouldnt call kids screaming at each other a desent online system!!!!!  and COD on wii yet alone wiiu was perfectly performed on wii, with total open chat and buddy lists iv played wii for 6 years havent once used a friends code,,and the comunity was so above xbox live you can sit there 20 games in a row with everyone having a mic yet no one speaks just hello or well done or full blown conversations

non of thats crap you get on im 6 years old live

What did you just say? It was hard to understand.

When the xbox 360 launched, it was a flawed console. It broke down, had low quality games, and required a wifi adapter to play online. It should have been scorned by the community, but it wasn't, why? Because it was first to the market by roughly a year. It was the most powerful and interesting machine for a year. Then why did it stay relevant afterwards? The Ps3 was more powerful, the wii had more exclusive games, the 360 essentially had nothing going for it. Of course it was cheaper than the ps3, and had a few hits like halo, overall it had the least exclusives, and wasn't quite as powerful as it's twin. Why did it stay relevant, and why does it still outsell the ps3 in some regions? Simple the Xbox effect. I myself own a ps3, but most of my friends and family prefer the Microsoft variant. They prefer it because more people have it, more people have it because it was launched a year earlier than the competition. As a result of the headstart, the 360 had a snowball effect. Three friends buy it before the ps3 comes out, then their three friends want to play with their three friends, so they buy an xbox. It also helped that playing with their friends was easier on xbox live. I even asked my friend, who is impressed by the games on playstation, what system he would get next gen. He ( not a nintendo fan) said the new xbox, simply because more people would have it. He likes playstation exclusives, and yet the quantity of people is enough to buy an xbox.

So your probably wondering what this has to do with the Wii U? Well here it is, the Wii U will be out for about a year before the playboxs get to the market. I believe that If nintendo can get a decent online system, they can become the gamer console of choice. Nintendo has enough first party games to keep their fans happy. But if they can  make a decent online component, get a multiplayer game like black ops 2, then they can get a huge initial install base before the other consoles even hit the market. And when they do, people will want to play with their friends. So they will buy a Wii U instead. I sincerely hope this happens.

Spice Orange? Please oh please oh please. Give me spice orange or I'm not buying it.
