One simple word - Tradition. And I think they pride themselves on making fun games that do not need to be graphically intensive which is the biggest reason I personally like them.

Trust me, I like them a lot because of that too. Their coop games are JUST AWESOME when you have friends/family/relatives/cousins coming over and you're gonna have a BLAST playing awesome games with them.

It's just that, I think the other developers are flat out abandoning the Nintendo consoles is coz Nintendo consoles aren't powerful enough to handle the current gen games.

Listen to this, if you were a developer, wouldn't it just make sense to port over your game to an equally powerful and easy to code console so you can get extra money out of your current investment?

I just hope it's not another colossal failure as is the Wii U because it lacked third party support, a traditional controller for all of its games in general and the menus take 15-30 secs to load whereas 360/PS3 it's instant.

Like why the fuck does accessing the System Settings requires the GamePad? It should work with any Nintendo controller! The GamePad was a terrible idea of a controller and it'll always be. Most games that necessitate it could be played with a normal controller anyway.

Edit: The online services are still ass and no in-game voice chat is a dealbreaker for games that are team based games *cough* Splatoon *cough* and also for Smash/Kart. I don't remember ever hearing anyone talk on Smash/Kart but the feature's there for pre-game and for private sessions which is rather very limited!

Original Xbox was in the market for about 4 years before microsoft released the xbox 360.

I dont see the problem here.
Everyone begins the development of their next console as soon as the latest one comes out. Nintendo has been a little more open about their approach I guess.
No announcement till next year, then release one year after the announcement, that makes the lifespan of the Wii U about 4-5 years. Pretty average life span.

Nintendo Wii U - The console that will be easily forgotten

I personally feel that the lifespan of consoles will be shorter and shorter from this point on. Technological advancements are being made a lot faster than ever before.

Actually, it's the opposite. You can't make huge leaps anymore like you could 20 years ago.

The Original Xbox was like a test for the market to see if people would like a Microsoft home console and the answer was very positive but unfortunately due to only being somewhat of a test the console didn't live for too long.

PS2 on the other hand lasted until 2013 (FIFA 14: Legacy Edition) and the multiplats on the OX (+ NGC) were way better than on PS2.

Oh no, now we'll have to buy iPhones to fully play our 3DS and Wii U games. It's bad enough I have to clutter my house with an otherwise useless Link amiibo to unlock all the Hyrule Warriors weapons.
I've been saying Nintendo needs to take a look back at the N64 and GC days. The Mobile Adapter GB wasn't what I had in mind.

Anyway, I'm not sure how I feel about the new system. I personally think the Wii U is a great console but needs better games (like N64 and GC had) and addons that actually enhance gaming experience like the Transfer Pak instead of addons that that unlock disc locked content like amiibo and iPhones.

Pro Controller is a traditional controller, GamePad is just a Pro Controller with a touchscreen so I don't understand what you mean.

Here's my input nobody asked for:

-Original Content on Smartphones is not a good idea. Controls will be horrible, gameplay will be oversimplified for touch controls, lack of physical releases, and Nintendo collectors with a passionate distaste for Smartphones like me are going to bust a nut.

Agreed. I remember an Assassins Creed game that got released on both smartphone and DS. They were both the same game but the smartphone had better graphics but the DS one was significantly better because physical buttons and might've been even better if it wasn't a port of a smartphone game.

Mario's Time Machine.
And let's not forget that the Japanese Famicom was basically a PC.

While initially I was happy because I was thinking this may open the door for other people (indies) to develop on Nintendo platforms with more ease, I really hope it isn't just a crappy peripheral or allow Nintendo's IP to appear in releases on shitty smartphone apps, etc.... I'm not sure where some of their decisions come from sometimes :/

The investors. Iwata barely has any control of the company as the investors keep putting him under fire.

billzo · Mar 17, 2015

I don't blame Iwata. I meant their investors and presumably their board of directors as well. Can't they see that this seems eerily similar to some of the biggest failures that Nintendo has ever done? The N64DD or an even better example, the Philips CD-i.

The Pro Controller is the traditional controller of Wii U but it's the GamePad which is used for the majority of its games and it doesn't even need it.

Why does Sniper Elite V2 need to use the GamePad even though it does nothing special or Captain Toad? There you go. Cpt. Toad feels really forced on GamePad without much purpose other than the 3D view.

Dear Ninty

Please call your next console the "WiiWE"

Your sincerely,

Good move Nintendo!

For earning money!

Now, new hacks will be coming SOON™

LegendaryFighter · Mar 17, 2015

They'll name it WiiU2.I guarantee it.

Vipera · Mar 17, 2015

I bet it's a New Wii U but will call it something else.

What I don't seem to understand is WTF is stopping them from making a MORE POWERFUL machine than PS4?

Just make that machine powerful and easy to develop for. It will sell a lot due to Mario, Zelda, etc., and third party developers can just jump in.

Highly doubt it since they just released the N3DS.

The N3DS is just a "placeholder" like the DSi was for the 3DS... Just a gimmic system to hold people over until the new hardware platform drops.

It'll be the New Super Wii U, much like New Super Luigi U.

I'm sure your custom would be sourly lost amongst the millions of new customers snapping at their heels...
