There's been a lot of bad Wii U news especially this week, PS4 and Xbox One are catching up to the Wii U's head start, but then I started to notice the problem here. The Wii sold more than the Wii U this year. Since the release of the console, I remember last year on IGN's Daily Fix  when the Wii U was about to release and Naomi saying "Wii U's are sold out but Nintendo says the Wii is still available this holiday season." Now this year with the Wii mini and people picking it up at Best Buy, I saw the problem.

Here's why, first, why sell the Wii if Nintendo or any other company is done with the system and no more games are coming out besides heavily gimped games. Second, why sell the Wii if the Wii U literally has everything on the Wii inside the Wii U, that is scamming a lot of people who bought a Wii this year and Ive seen it slowly growing. I go to this site called VGChartz and it keeps track of games and system sales, I can't remember the accurate number but in January of this year the Wii sold 96 Million Globally when the Wii U was sold out, till this day it sold 100.6 million units. That's 4.5 Million Wii owners that should have had a Wii U instead. I don't know if I'm accurate but those sales numbers should have been for Wii U. Month after month I hear that the 3DS and the Wii are making profit, THE WII IS MAKING PROFIT? This is why I keep saying that the Wii U commercials suck because they never mention that the Wii U is backwards compatible with Wii games. Who at Nintendo never once thought of mentioning backwards compatibility to the casuals watching TV? Till this day working at Gamestop people ask me if the PS4 is backwards compatible with Ps3 and they get boned.

Nintendo really screwed up the Wii U, and I don't think they will redeem themselves. They really need to discontinue the Wii and leave it to Amazon.com where casuals won't be fooled by finding a "new" and incredibly cheap console for their children in their local stores, yes there are casual gamers who get into videogames every month but the Wii mini is selling in my area and its not collectors buying it. I feel sorry for the daughter who is going to get a gimped Wii instead of a Wii U this Christmas. They imminently discontinued the DS when the 3DS came out and it can play DS games, they should have done the same with the Wii. The Wii U is a great console, it shouldn't be out shined by the Wii that has no more planned games.

Lets completely ignore our struggling console and focus on the one that's doing great! In all seriousness, that was a really awesome 3DS direct, but really the Wii U needs some attention, its already been a year and people still don't know about it, have Reggie or Bill tattoo themselves with Wii U logos and run around naked in Time Square or something.

Well......That boy is lucky.

Kirby 3DS

Showed a new Kirby for 3DS, coming in 2014.

Well.....Wasn't that bad, I mean its better than the last one they had in August, except for the 3rd party support. It really had me laughing on how low its getting. Next time they really need to show us how games like AC4, W_D, and Batman Origins will run on Wii U, show me that the Wii U version is worth a damn and I'll buy it instead of 'Oh yeah its coming to Wii U so buy it.'

You know I use to feel like that months ago, take a break from videogames and walk around your neighborhood, greet people, meet someone and have fun.

Are you still willing to buy the Wii U version of Origins even though its missing saaaaaaay.......40% of content that's already on the 360 and PS3 version? It looks very gimped compared to the other versions as of now. I'm getting it on my PS3 to complete my trilogy collection of Batman......The collector's edition doesn't look that half bad either. Sooooo yeah I'll get it on my Ps3 instead.

There's al ot of really good ones and bad ones that I can name off from yesterday like they want *Insert next gen game here* on Wii U and it will sell millions, The smash community has a bunch so pick your poison on their comment section.

The weirdest post I can remember is when I finally dusted off my Wii U to play Earthbound or something and checked the Youtube  miiverse community, I remember there was a guy saying: 'Any girls 15 through 19 years old wanna video chat?' Expecting any girl to say yes to that creepy comment? A stranger on the internet who wants to see a random girl. Course the girls turned him down.

EA COO Peter Moore has stated at Gamescom 2013 last week, "We don't ship a game at EA that is offline." Speaking to Engadget, he said, "It just doesn't happen," and emphasized "we don't deliver offline experiences."

SimCity's always-online restrictions earlier this year caused controversy following a faulty launch -- so much so that a survey questioned users about the appeal of an offline mode. That is all but off the table, it seems. Moore elaborated that EA's biggest franchises -- such as Titanfall, Battlefield, and FIFA -- relied rather heavily on their online components. That said, EA's The Sims 4 will include an offline single-player experience -- while Battlefield and FIFA, of course, retain their campaign and career -- so the future isn't necessarily always online.

Things are changing at EA, however.

 

Speaking about FIFA and Battlefield, Moore expressed that both franchises "have free-to-play options depending on where you are in the world.... The ability for you to be able to interact with those franchises on a free-to-play basis has got to be part and parcel to every major franchise we do now." He continued to say this is "very important to Electronic Arts" regardless of "how much money you've got in your wallet and where you are in the world."

 

Just when you thought they would change, they always have to find a way to make other people's blood boil.

What an excellent move, forget the 30+ Million 3DS owners lets port over it to the Vita, sooo gonna sell well, Maximilian goes crazy on the game but jeez, its not gonna reach the same level as Street Fighter, KOF, Killer Instinct, Tekken, hell not even Skullgirls. Maybe about 20k of his subscribers are buying it just to hear him as an announcer. I really don't care about it and I'm a huge fighting game fan. All fighting games are best played on a console, not a handheld.

Aren't you aware that digital copys sell more than physical? Its been happening all year, and Nintendo is aware of it. Especially the 3DS games.

A bundle with a 10 yearold game? Really?

8 different and unique boss battles, I'm looking forward to this.
