But if they want people to even think about the NX after what they asked for from the WiiU, they need a launch lineup of legendary proportions.
I know some will be circle jerking for the next five years just for the next Zelda game being a launch title for the system. That much is a given. We all know someone that will absolutely buy any entry from a specific Nintendo franchise, even when they aren't that good.
I for one am... at best, immune to the apparent charms of the Zelda franchise. I for one have moved on from trying it out anymore because I know they're not for me. But I'm just as sick and tired of these nitwits that want to get hostile and act like they're something wrong with
me because I like Nintendo, but
don't like Zelda games.
And they're going to need more variety than just a Zelda game for a launch if they want to earn my dollars on their NX console.
And yes, even if that means that Nintendo will have to shed some of that "family friendly" image to get the games that draw in people to the system.
No More Heroes and
MadWorld were amazing for the Wii, and
Killer7 was phenomenal on the GameCube; but there's literally nothing like it on the WiiU, and that saddens me terribly. And while the PS3 and 360 got some great stuff from Suda51, literally nothing on the WiiU. And lately, rather than take a page from Capcom or Sega and support high-quality fan games released that respect their franchises, Nintendo would rather C&D and sue fan game makers, and try to seize assets like the whole content ID stuff they are doing on YouTube videos
still to this day, even though their own corporate page claims they do sign off and authorize the use of their characters for fan projects. It waxes of inconsistency.
As for the WiiU for me, I wouldn't buy one
new. While of the current generation of consoles, it's still the one with the most games
for it I'd want, their corporate behavior, and especially taht EULA update that effectively bricked a WiiU console, are a huge turn-off for me and I won't abide by that behavior. Now, if someone gifted a system to me, or I was able to find a killer deal on one second-hand, I could maybe swing it. But new? Nope.avi.
