Nintendo apologizes for lack of Wii U software

Only thing I gotta say is then what in the hell were you thinking? And don't give me the we are relying on Mario and Zelda run around.

@CHROMEFLAMIN when the new mario, mario kart, zelda etc start coming, you will know whether or not there is nothing. I dont blame you. comments like your type are what will in the future make nintendo fans laugh when they look back.

There's either too much or not enough thrid party support. If only the library of games was steadily released and consistant quality then this would be immaterial.

Next time you would think trying to lure more 3rd party developers, Nintendo. Remember the glorious N64 era?

That was when I was proud to have owned every Nintendo console since the NES. It is true you can handle on your own, but if you could actually get some decent 3rd party games for release schedules of a new console you will do way better than this. Now just waiting for the Vita apologize that would be great Sony.

@CHROMEFLAMIN I feel your comment is uninformative, not really thought through and quite patronizing. To which controller of which console do you refer to? Utilizing a (touchscreen) display on a home console controller is a relatively new concept, not yet explored to full potential. Yes, I am a Nintendo fan boy.

This drought of Nintendo software has occurred with EVERY Nintendo home console release since N64, both at the beginning of the console's life and the end. It's ridiculous.

I believe that is expected for a new console to have few games on the begin.

I think Sony should copy Nintendo and apologize for the Vita

Claims of quality are the last line of defense for a company that is failing to provide. How often have we seen games get delayed for one or two years under the guise of quality (by various companies, of course)? I'm not buying it now any more than I did in the past, Nintendo.

Apologize? How about putting in some effort instead of being the complacent company you have for a while now? Eh, that'd take work. Mine as well keep regurgitating the same thing over and over with new coats of paint.

Nintendo's blessed: they are a company whose fans are fine with complacency.

All is forgiven

awwww Nintendo wants to "apologize" and spit out their sorries after raking in the cash on yet another bullshit cash-in. unfortunately too right before the us government started getting asshurt over their corrupt reputation they start pointing the fingers at us. there has been a lot of promise for the world of gaming but the way things are looking we may not have our joy for long.

Same thing that happened with the 3DS, very happy with how 3DS turned out though especially after price drop

Really? That is the most important part of the presentation?

What a Crapy election of a title for the article.

I'd rather have nothing than the usual tripe they release.

@CHROMEFLAMIN @ArataWata Just like you felt it was necessary for us to hear your negative comment

@Ultima_Dragoon Duh you guys fall for this all the time, Nintendo releases a great game from there trusted franchise and you guys go ahead and buy it(boo hoo) You'll be sorry Rant of a crazy man=Ultimo_Dragoon

You don't have to apologize to me Nintendo. I see what you're doing. Your holding back so that the competition doesn't take what ever great idea you have in store for that LCD controller. Especially since Sony and Microsoft have their rumored controllers with built in LCDs on the horizon. Good move. Announce and release your "wow" apps late and don't give them a chance to copy them.

I'm sure it'll be fine. Nintendo has always been a very caring company. I mean, Satoru Iwata even filmed his own unboxing video for the Wii U, he must really be proud of his product.

Take all the time you need with your 1st party titles Nintendo! In the meantime focus on those 3rd party developers and helping them design for the WiiU, Nintendo has already done very well with 3rd party titles for launch and I believe there will be much more to come, it has already done more then what the Wii had done around its launch. WiiU has been out 2 months give it the time it needs to blossom. There's probably already more M rated titles for WiiU then there had ever been on Wii.

lack of software is due to the lack of 3rd party dev, just like the wii...

Although with the growing presence of PC gaming and developers giving more attention to it, I fear for the next gen XBox the most, Playstation is fine since they have an extensive catalog of 1st party titles but the back bone of Microsoft's systems are 3rd party games and many gamers are realizing that you can get a cheaper yet superior experience on PCs, sure the investment in building a gaming PC might be more expensive and require more effort, but the pay off in the end will save you a great deal of money. Microsoft does need to put an end to their yearly subscription fees or at least, not charge for online play if they want to remain a viable contender for the next generation, also both companies are at risk of losing the Indie scene if they don't modify their policies since Nintendo has really upped their game with the eShop and Value's Steambox and/or the Ouya/Shield potentially proving to be havens for Indie developers.

I still think it's quite funny that gamers are still playing the power card when determining a console's worth and it's potential success when not a single time in videogame history has power played a huge factor in a console's success, in fact, it played more into a console's failure. Even the PS3, while highly successful in the eyes of gamers and what I consider the best home console of the 7th generation (and I still don't own one! DX) was financially a massive flop.

@DaneGamer @Vambran People are never happy - you put great gpu's in the system, they moan it's to expensive, you go with simpler solution, then it's not good enough.

@CHROMEFLAMIN You're clearly went to a special school.
