If Nintendo goes back to making Gamecube quality first party games, and have real 3rd party support from a lot of different companies, Wii U is the only thing I would buy.
If and only If.
will sony hold out 4-5 more years? its only now being pushed really hard in its processing power. RAM is still expensive (the kind required to run said example), relatively, and it looks like they can hold out for at least 5 more years. And they need to make a lot of the money that has been lost. Not only that, they can’t afford to fumble like Microsoft did in 05 when they rushed the 360. That would hurt a lot, even for a company like Microsoft

(Massive amount of RAM is needed for this)
If Sony (most likely) and Micro (least likely) hold out, then what does that mean for the Wii U?
Can it mean that I will finally have a true successor to Metroid Prime 2, and a system that plays true next generation games for the remaining life span of the current systems? paying 400 (350 min imo) dollars for a system for the next 4-5 years wouldn’t be a bad deal tbh, provided that Sony keeps the PS3 and doesn’t release PS4 in the next 2.
tl;dr
Will the Wii U be bad is sony held out 4-5 more years? I don’t think so.
I’ll definitely be getting a WiiU. I’ve actually started buying games for my Wii and have been having so much fun with that system recently. I honestly don’t get why some people want the WiiU to fail so much. What’s wrong with having more games/systems?
Saying any game is good, or BAD, is an opinion. I said I hate Nintendo and that I want them to die. That is an opinion. It’s not a statement of fact or anything like it. God, it’s like I’m teaching a 1st grader how to read and write.
You might just be the stupidest person I ever talked to. Congratulations.
Hey dumbass, people aren’t trolls just because they have an opinion that differs from yours. Not everyone is trying to troll you. You’re just one of those idiots who tosses around that word going “troll troll troll” until it loses all its meaning. Go back to /b/ and stay there you fucking brain-damaged neanderthal, you’re clearly not cut out for intellectual conversation and if anyone talks to you they may actually get dumber.
All I know is, having and voicing a dissenting opinion in a topic thread, has the distinct possibility of getting you ban-hammered if the fanboys complain loud enough.
I believe longevity of a system is very important. Nintendo is great at selling Nintendo games, but the 3rd party support isn’t there compared to what MS and Sony are doing, and releasing games such as ME3 way after its been out on other systems doesn’t help. The Wii-U is their answer to try bring in both casual and serious gamers, but if that doesn’t work they will rely on 3 different Mario games to generate interest.
The main reason why I have avoided every Nintendo system since the SNES is because every game in each console generation has the “been there done that” feel. Why bother with Super Mario Wii when I already have Super Mario World?
Why buy Halo, CoD, etc, if counter strike does it all.
Small changes over time = big changes. Super Mario world was nothing like Super Mario Sunshine.
BTW doesn’t nintendo stock fall al the time, only to go up every time? People shouldn’t pay attention to something as useless as stocks unless they invest. Stocks are not a good indicator of impending failure or success.
I’ll say it again, if Sony sticks to PS3 for 4-5 years more, which they are going to, then Wii U is not going to be a failure because all the 3rd party games are now accessible on Wii U. And if online is any good, game set and match, nintendo will thrive. Watch RE6 be on Wii U
I have many valid reasons, which I’ve gone into extensive detail on numerous times. On the other hand you have nothing intellectual to say and instead just keep cussing at me, if anything you’re more the troll than anyone else here, shit-for-brains. Cry some more.
most trolls have shit for brains like you, hates a company cause you think you’re opinion matters, which you’re opinion is fucking useless retard shit. Cause nintendo makes a lot more money in gaming the microsoft. And the DS-series is the best you can get in hand consoles. Only reason why you dont like nintendo is cause you want blood, sex, drugs. Which proves you are a fucking sorry ass gamer who cant play games for fun. Keep trolling dumb fuck
Hmmm shitty state-save indie 2D platformers compared to masterpieces like Goku Makaimura and Hardcrops Uprising…
So which side captured the old essence well and which side missed the point completely?
(Hint: There’s no reason today for shitty so-called “retro” graphics. It’s not a fucking artistic statement, it just shows incompetence. The now outdated graphics is not what made the good games of the past good, but other aspects of them which the later games I mention have but the indie ones don’t.)
Because that’s not where the future is at when it comes to most genres.
Open world is superior to linear stages, even if 99% of the open world games made until today were pretty bad, and didn’t really take advantage of the open world aspect.
