It kinda sad.  I mean I like Nintendo.  But to watch the U slowly bleeding to death is gut wrenching.  The doctor comes in and says its terminal unless Luigi can find the cure in the mansion.  When all the sudden a mysterious ghost appears and bashed U over the head with a 6.5 and it goes into a coma.  NNOOOOOO!!!! I screamed as I dropped to the floor clutching U to my chest.  How am I suppose to play Zelda I cried as a shook U slightly.  HOW DAMNIT! TELL ME HOW!!!!

Don't do a dreamcast buddy.  Don't only get a few 3rd party games from last gen systems then have to support yourself all by yourself.  Then don't get immediately over shadowed by the more powerful new systems coming out!  I'm telling you.  Your different enought.  Wahahahahaha!!!

WiiU got AC130'd when its pathetic specs were discovered and we seen how ugly the games looked on this so called next gen system. @Luigi Mansion's... i think this is the first Nintendo game i'm really ******** disappointed with GS's review in over 5 years... game looks extremely good! She gave a BS joke of a game called WiiU Land (or wtf that crap is called *game bundled with WiiU*) a 8-8.5/10 but this great adventure game a 6.5... get outta mah face with this.

Yeah, the 8.5 score for Nintendo Land was a joke. I just don't know what to think about the Luigi's Mansion review, as I haven't played the game, but other reviews have been good to excellent, so I'm sure the game is great.

nintendo intent on making wii u another wii.

devs have to special code games for tablet as its not standard.

devs have less power than devs wanted in light of upcoming 720 and ps4. currrent consoles hold back pc, wii u didnt help with that problem.

good thing tho, intendo makes great games. wii u wil always have that strong 1st party.

Next Gen doesn't start until Sony says so.  Wii U is a 7th generation console that came out too late.

Wiiu will likely survive just fine. It's either the ps4 or Xbox that's gonna fail.

This is ludicrous, and the OP makes no sense. Just a bunch or jibber jabber.

That being said the Wii U will most definitely be fine and do well. Anyone who believes otherwise is just kidding themselves. Or doesn't play video games.

ok how did i know id log in and see yet another b/s thread about how a system is going to die , ,

  because its the same b/s just another year ,  

the wiiu is not going to die neither is nintendo ,  for nintendo to have died they would have to do what sega did and then some ,  remember they still are making profits , , 

 so them dying ya i dont think so ,  as long as  the current wiius sold ,  have at least one nintendo made game sold with it , or bought there afterwards,   the wiiu is profitable ,   

 and with new games being announced for it ,   ya its not going any where , regardless of whom sells the most next gen nintendo is likely to be here ,  

and with recent ms rumors , who knows  any thing can still happen look at ps3 

 

everyone my self included was already calling it a failure ,  

yet look how that  turned out  . .  

 

oh and look how 3ds turned out  oh well fanboys never learn from their mistakes! this  topic proves my point

I'd say wait until Mario Kart, and Super Smash comes out. Those two are system sellers and we'll probably see a dramatic increase in sales.

Doesn't anyone remember the lack of games after the PS3 released... it takes a while.

Plus, no one really buys nintendo consoles for third party. We all know that Nintendo is done with keeping up with the Playstation, Xbox and PC. I have a wii-u and while I haven't played it in a bit, I know eventually nintendo is going to release some grade A titles that i'm going to want to play. Once a new 3-D mario, Zelda, Metroid release, people will be clamoring how awesome it is. 

And I don't get why people complain that the third party titles are all ports... well thats kinda how third party works. Ubisoft isn't going to develope a bunch of games specific to the wii-u (that would be considered an exclusive it only showed up on the Wii-U). So instead they are released ACIII and other games they are releasing on ALL PLATFORMS. They did develop one game for it, and like most Ubisoft games, was met with mediocre reviews.

Unfortunately those who own a PC/PS3/360 already have a system that play these games and I do know EA is really shunning it by releasing good games on it, but then not supporting it with DLC. I understand that, but everyone needs to realize they already knew this and just wait for Nintendo's Gems to release.

If the Vita can survive, the Wii U will be fine, will the PS4 sell more, perhaps, but once the Wii U gets Mario Kart and Smash Bros, it will sell.

why it true, wiiu is a 7th gen console, infact in many way its inferior, no blue ray support, online stucture stinks and extremely slow, graphics not better then current gen. The wiiu is not dead yet but in it's death bed and it deserves it.

It is an 8th generation system, get over it BluRay does not dictate that I have a WiiU and the online is really good We haven't seen what the WiiU is fully capable of, so why are judging?

It's 8th gen, it's just that PS4 and 720 are 9th gen.
