It's amazing how quickly and harshly Nintendo killed the Wii brand.

- Barely released any games for it themselves, and nearly all have broken motion controls, which in most case can be blamed on the badly engineered hardware.

- Scorned and pissed off more 3rd parties as if Nintendo expected them to crawl back simply because Wii systems were selling more. 

- Near complete abandonment of the system from 2010: All of its scant releases are shovelwares, yet refused to release last story and xenoblade which got AAA scores and were already localized. Made fans beg. 

- Wii-U is an absolute train-wreck: badly engineered hardware again!; less powerful than 360/ps3 yet cost about twice as more; even less third party support; still using the same broken wii-remote which has to be constantly calibrated for motion+; utterly broken OS and accounts; constant hard system crashes; only one gamepad support; 3 hours battery life and 3 hours recharge time; cheaply made gamepad with SD resolution and single-touch resistive touchpad; few launch games (most garbage) and hardly any future releases (what the heck has Nintendo been doing for the past 3 years?); absoutely toxic word-of-mouth. 

The Wii brand can no longer be salvaged at this point; it's pretty much dead. Amazing that Nintendo could butcher this up so badly. 

Probably going to do the same thing for the wiiu.

I think the problem with the Wii-U is the target audience, Who's the Target audience for that console.. The core gamers or the casual gamers?.

Because the Wii was obviously prioritized casual headed, and sales were amazing!. Not only we see the Lack of Games and promises of the Wii-U.

But also the Identity Crisis of the console. Nintendo must adress their goal and purpose of the Wii-U or people may not even look at the system at all. And casual people are not followers in the gaming industry, the core gamers are. Most of these casuals has never heard of the Wii-U, or probably they might think its another Nintendo for the double price.

Nah! just women that ruined their looks trying to look like plastic dolls. Wouldn't be surprised if their obsession drove them to cut their nipples off.

Blahblahblah.

With the way it was trashed throughout all of it's life can you really blame them?

Now here is a company that abandoned their core players. There are almost 90 million Wii's out there and you just suddenly stop making 1st party games for it. That is just so stupid. blackace

It's amazing people still defend Nintendo. They have had less new exclusives on console in the last 10 years than Microsoft.

Uhm, I actually skipped out on the Wii but I have picked up a Wii U. Wii U is a great console, it's going to have eighth generation games, HD resolution, and much improved graphics and combined with a really cool controller that's comfortable to hold. That is a winner for me. If I want to do heavy graphics gaming then I have my PC on steroids for that. The Wii U however is going to have more games and I'm already itching to pick up NFS Most Wanted U that is coming out in just ten more days. I have heard that the Wii U version is the best version of the game by far and I can't wait to see that.

Nintendo has done everything right with the Wii U and all they need to do is get third party to sign up and make sure first party games do come out... then this generation will be yet another great Nintendo generation like the seventh generation. If this is Nintendo's generation again then they will ride into the ninth generation even more richer, dominant. No wannabe gaming company like Sony or Microsoft will be able to challenge Nintendo again as they will be left with market shares so small they will be only considered relevant to keep competition going.

Um the Gamecube was labeled as kiddy and uncool back then, the "launch box". Now all the sudden everyone considered it hardcore? It got way less third party games than the Wii U has been getting. Samus3D

What, pray tell, is a "launch box"?  

Is it some sort of prototype jet-pack engine?  

Is it a compact trebuchet?  

Do you know how to spell the meal that comes after breakfast and before dinner?

[QUOTE="Samus3D"][QUOTE="FlamesOfGrey"] Most people didn't even buy the Wii for real games anyway.

If anything the series in on hiatus till they can figure out what direction to take it in.

When did Wii U die exactly? Oh that's right, it didn't.

Dude, it's makeup. It's called the doll look. They exaggerate the eyes and other features to trick people into thinking that they actually have different faces from the average girl. BTW, her name is Valeria Lukyanova.

No just no :lol:

I think ninty's past has mostly had an influence on third party support on their consoles. Even if the WiiU is super powerful I doubt third parties will run to ninty.The console is also a bit more powerful than the 360/PS3.

Sony does what Nintendon't

change your year to 2011 unless you want to get serverly owned for saying Everyone Abandoned the Wii in 2010.

2010 was the LAST great year for the Nintendo Wii.

2011 onward it died.

KillaCattle

Mario has only been yearly as it seems from 2009 up as far as I can tell. I don't know I have to look into it, it maybe more.

Zelda however is not as consistant.

Twilight Princess and Phantom Hourglass was a year apart, but PH to Spirit Tracks was 2 years apart, Spirit Tracks to Skyward Sword was another 2 years. There was also an Ocarina of Time Remake in 2011 as well, but that was still 2 years after Spirit Tracks.

Wind Waker is getting released this year in 2013, that's about a 1-2 year gap from Skyward Sword and we don't even know when the Next Actual Zelda Game will be.

Mario maybe yearly, but Zelda is not.

n the real world no gamers I know are fanboyish in the slightest. We've all owned every Nintendo system for better or worse (All of us started with the original NES). The Gamecube had a ton of quality games on it and we all highly respected all Nintendo systems until the Wii. Wii is still a decent system but every gamer I know was disappointed with it in terms of games.
