This year, Nintendo has:
>lowered the price of the Wii U significantly.
>offered a bundle that included two games, two controllers, and an exclusive Mario hat.
>had a solid presentation at E3, announcing fan favorite games and showing nothing but gameplay unlike Sony and Microsoft.
>offered free online multiplayer that has never experienced downtimes.
The problem is not Nintendo.
The problem is idiots who don't realize how amazing the Wii U is.
What if the general public just aren't interested in Nintendo's first party offerings?
>>257789259
>an exclusive Mario hat
Is... a $1 trinket considered a plus?
>>257789259
>lowered the price of the Wii U significantly.
How much did it cost before?
>had a solid presentation at E3, announcing fan favorite games
That will come out in 2015
I can count the number of good Wii U exclusives on one hand.
>>257789406
they're sure the hell not interesting in Microsofts or Sony's games, which basically means they're not buying consoles for the games
>>257789831
That logic falls apart because the PS4 and Xbox One aren't riding solely on their first party games.
Soon.
>>257789947

>That logic falls apart because the PS4 and Xbox One aren't riding solely on their first party games.
Seems like that last part actually agrees with the statement
>>257789826
>exclusives
Fuck exclusives.
Exclusives are the problem with gaming today.
>>257789259
The wii-u is shit, deal with it.
>>257789259
Needs better and more 3rd party titles.
Not everyone love mario and zelda and shit.
Also a ton of people are waiting for smash bros.
>>257790164
I'm okay with exclusives.
>>257790164
That wasn't the point of my post, but fine.
I can count the number of good Wii U games on one hand.
It's already over.
Make your time.
marketing, MARKETING
M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G.
There is a lack of it, and stock of physical games too.
>>257790303
smash is less popular than mario kart
>>257789259
no this proves the problem is nintendo has shit games no one wants to play
>>257789963
If it happens this will be the best version until PC comes out
>>257790420
>marketing
People just don't want a Wii U.
>>257790303
>Needs better and more 3rd party titles.
But the ps4 didn't get much of those neither.
>>257790148
...No, not really? The PS4 and Xbox One both have significant third party libraries which the Wii U lacks, and judging by sales, are one of the driving forces behind the adoption of the PS4 and Xbox One, alongside the previously mentioned first party offerings.
Conversely the Wii U only has it's first party offerings with very little of anything else, so if the general public is not interested in those titles, they have no reason to consider one otherwise.
>lowered the price of the Wii U significantly.
Unless it's about 100 bucks, I don't consider it worth the price. After what consoles have put me through, they want to be greedy? No thank you.
>offered a bundle that included two games, two controllers, and an exclusive Mario hat.
Nothing I wanted, nothing that I considered interesting.
>>had a solid presentation at E3, announcing fan favorite games and showing nothing but gameplay unlike Sony and Microsoft.
They had a Family Guy tier Robot Chicken skit and introduced games I couldn't care less for, along with shovelware and overhyped AAA trash. Might as well ask me to be excited for the new Call of Duty.
>offered free online multiplayer that has never experienced downtimes.
I have the same thing on my PC, and I don't suffer region locking or forced console limitations, like demanding I use their controllers.
Tell me what I miss by sticking to my PC. I get the best versions of all multiplats, my very own exclusives, and I don't miss out on anything from consoles since I don't consider their exclusives good enough.
>>257790654
That's bullshit though.
>>257790557
that's why M-A-R-K-E-T-I-N-G
>>257790557
People doesn't know what a wiiu is, we had in my country the damn ps4 advertisement 20 times every day on tv, there is even 1FUCKING MINUTE LONG candy crush saga ads, and not a single nintendo ads, we didn't get any mario kart ads in tv, nothing
And there is no fucking stock of anything in any shopping mall or game shops but lego whatever and disney infinity.
>>257789589
Can't remember, but now all bundles are deluxe bundles, and have gone through price drops, can get a refurbed one from Nintendo themselves for $200, comes with everything.
>>257790718
>The PS4 and Xbox One both have significant third party libraries which the Wii U lacks
Not really
3rd party is lacking on all the consoles and it's only finally catching up, theres no way asscreed and Cod carried 14 million sales of consoles
>>257790480
Not in the actual core market.
In the casual market yes, MKwii is the best selling game ever basically.
Also many people only care for kart and smash. They dont want to get it just for kart, one game isnt enough. Smash will be the tipping point for many many people.
Tons of my friends are getting one for smash, and a few already got one for kart.
What needs to be done:
- Change the name. Call it the Super Nintendo.
- Throw money at third parties for timed exclusives.
- play the consumer rights angle and slag off Playstation 4.
>>257790976
>shovelware and ps3 games
Oh boy, though
>amazing
I own one and I like it, but let's not pretend that it's some gift from the gods.
And the price drop was not "significant" enough, especially with the size of the SSD. The only appropriately priced Wii Us are the refurbs you can buy directly from Nintendo
>>257790871
>Unless it's about 100 bucks
>Nothing I wanted
So you're being unreasonable, got it.
Could've just said "I'm not here to have a reasonable discussion, I'm the annoying PCFag that other PC users distance themselves from"
>>257791394
Seems like the same thing for all consoles. You can see why I show a dislike for "next gen".
>blaming the market
Or you know everyone be happy with just their 3DS.
>>257791170
>There's no way Ass Creed and CoD carried 14 million sales of consoles
Ass Creed, CoD, Battlefield, FIFA, Watch_Dogs etc. etc + relevant exclusives depending on platform did exactly that though. The numbers don't lie.
>>257791441
>So you're being unreasonable, got it.
How am I being unreasonable? I'm sick of consoles demanding top prices for their low quality hardware, and still trying to milk me of all my money. Why should I give them any slack? How does that benefit me?
>>257791394
I didn't say you had to be interested in those games. I'm saying the argument that the PS4 (and Xbox One) has the same lack of third party support as the Wii U is incorrect.
I know what the Wii U is. I know what it's strong points are. I'm still not getting one because they don't appeal to me.
>cheapest console
>comes with free online
>comes with a screen to play games if your without tv
>controller has a camera and mic built in for voice/video chat with no peripherals despite being underused
>no doritos/walking dead advertising all over the place
>rewards program gives you free games on top of the games you buy
>all tied to an easy to use account system
The only thing I wish it had is cross game party chat and a better messaging system. That can be added though. The work they did this year on the wii u was already bretty good. Its faster and convenient as fuck now.
>>257789259
i just traded my ps4 for a mid range PC with a 7870 and some cash. is the only logical thing to do at this point is getting a wii u?
>>257792308
If you like nintendo games yes. Theres tons of fun in those and the other games coming soon are gonna be great as well.
>>257791343
What needs to be done:
Fucking make commercials and advertise your goddamn products. I understand you're trying to get into the internet age BUT DON'T NEGLECT TELEVISION AND RADIO JUST BECAUSE INTERNET.
>>257792308
you could technically play PC games and just don't care about console peasants.
>>257792447
Oh. I don't find modern Nintendo games fun anymore, so I guess I'll pass.
>>257792308
Just wait for Wii U emulation.
>>257792512
Do you like musou?
>>257792447
If you dont like nintendo games then no.
Not until next year. The other games will be out and bundles will be better.
I'm honestly excited for stuff like splatoon and devils third, fuck the masses and their flavor of the month tripe.
>>257789259
Its a sad day when even /v/ doesn't like the Wii U.
Mine arrived the other day, I've really been enjoying Wonderful 101. Can't wait to get Metroid Prime trilogy next along with Hryule Warriors next month and Mon Hun
>no games unless you want the latest iteration/roster update of nintendo games
>pay $50 more and get a PS4 or a powerful GPU
>good E3 true, but just showed off the same shit they've been showing since its launch in 2012
>online can't possibly go down when only 100 people are online
Hate to tell you this OP you ginormous faggot, but not everyone wants to play the same shit they played as a kid with better graphics.
>>257791628
How is $200 a top price? If you're a PC friend, you should have no problem paying that, paid more than that for my CPU alone. Regardless, your personal position on consoles is irrelevant anon, companies don't factor how you feel about gaming consoles into the price of it, get over yourself. If you don't like the price, fine, don't buy it, but don't act like $200 isn't a completely reasonable price for what you're getting. A console, accessories, and a game, which is a hell of a lot more than a console and a controller for $400, power differences aside.
>>257792308
if you want a console AND like Nintendo games, yeah.
Don't count on emulation. Wii U is way different then the others, it can take a shit ton of time, if it ever happens.
>>257792634
No, I don't.
>>257792717
>How is $200 a top price?
Because it's not worth it to me, because it has 0 games I want. I've tried convincing myself "maybe I should invest in it" and I had some Nintendo fanboys as friends, so I mooched off of them for a bit and tried their Wii-U. Let me tell you, it was a very unpleasant experience.
>but don't act like $200 isn't a completely reasonable price for what you're getting.
It's not reasonable. Comparing it to the Ps4 means nothing to me, because I consider that even more of a ripoff.
>mfw less than 40 watts in game
How do you make great graffix with less power consumption than the wii?
The other consoles make sense but the wii u is an anomaly with how efficient it is.
>>257793043
I guess my face is in this post instead.
>>257789259
I really just don't want a console with a giant touchpad controller for gaming. I feel Nintendo has basically pushed me away from their system even though I do want to play a lot of the games from on it.
>>257792641
amen, Splatoon looks great
-Bayo 2
-Smash
-Hyrule Warriors
-Splatoon
-Xenoblade Chronicles X
-Kirby and the Rainbow Curse
-SMT x FE
This and tons of E-shop re-releases, man its good to be a Nintendo fan
>>257789259
>lowered the price of the Wii U significantly.
50 dollars is not "significantly"
>>257792987
>It was a very unpleasant experience
I don't see how the experience is any different than other systems, game selection aside.
>>257793241
I hate posts like this, because if anyone expressed their joy of games on another console in this exact manner, you would pounce on them and angrily yell at them how they're "cancer who are killing the industry".
Damn hypocrites.
>>257792987
If it was an unpleasant experience, and it has 0 games you want, why did you bother to even try to discuss this? If you seriously think $200 is unreasonable, despite other consoles being even more of a ripoff, in your words, then you're clearly not the person the Wii U is aiming for, and you have no relevance. What you want out of the Wii U is clearly not what the Wii U is aimed at, it's fine that you're PC, I am too, but don't blame consoles for doing console things.
>tfw PC + WiiU masterrace
mah niggas ww@
>>257789259
The "problem" is that the WiiU, no matter how great it is, is still a niche platform.
Most people aren't go-hards like /v/. They only buy one platform, or two at most. Don't get me wrong, I'm hyped to buy a WiiU this year, but if you put it next to a 3DS, Vita, and PC, and said I could only have one, it would probably the last platform I'd consider.
>>257793201
In W101 you don't need to use the touch pad hardly you can make the shapes with the right stick.
>>257791343
>play the consumer rights angle and slang off the Playstation 4
How is that going to work when Nintendo has the worst digital content store and system in gaming. It says right in the End-User license agreement that nothing you purchase off the e-shop you own. You are simply paying for a license to play the game. And all those licenses are tied to your console.
I do not know what people mean when they say they don't like Nintendo games. As in the game play, not the aesthetics or anything. But how they play...they're all tightly designed with solid mechanics with a reasonable amount of depth (some more than others, depends on the franchise really), usually with extremely good level design to boot.
Do they mean they don't like well made games or something? I don't get what they mean when they say such a broad statement.
>>257789259
>The problem is not Nintendo.
>The problem is idiots who don't realize how amazing the Wii U is.
TOP LEL! I always hear that from Nintendrones, I'm not surprised though, the manlet who runs that company thinks the same.
Mordern ''gamers'' are brainwashed by the typical marketing of western devs.
These people are the majority now and they don't know better.They think video games is all about those cutscene Hollywood style shit or that QTE events are so fucking badass and awesome.So yeah pretty much casual and normies ruinned everything but the real cause is all those shitty devs like bioware,EA and mores
>>257793358
>>257793381
I hate the controller, I hated the games, I hated Miiverse, and worst of all I hated how limited it felt. The online was atrocious compared to my PC.
I'm not gonna forgive consoles for being scam machines. I don't do that anons.
>>257789259
Honestly, I can't explain it:
>Nintendo pushing out games, lowers the price on its main console and bundles it with a fuckton of shit
>Huge titles already released, with more to come
>Wii U still collects dust in shelves
>M$ marketing the fuck out of their console, which isn't backwards compatible, will spy on you, and runs games at sub -1080p
>Manages more sales than the Wii U on its own first year
>Sony doesn't even try to market games for the PS4
>Putting in retarded rental services (seriously $4 for 4 hours?)
>Little to no releases in months
>Not backwards compatible either
>Outsells both consoles that actually got some games
>>257793290
*Lowered the price by $50 and stopped selling the basic bundle, so the deluxe bundle would be the only one, set at the same price, and then got the price hit
Not even kidding, try buying one on amazon, can't get the basic bundle from Nintendo

Welcome to opinions anon, these are yours, other people have differing opinions, and honestly you're being pretty unreasonable in expecting PC quality from a console. No console promised that, or offered that in any way, you buy a console for the stuff the console has, if you don't like it, then it's not for you.

>>257792693
Idort here.
Even as someone who doesn't go gaga over everything Nintendo does, most of their games are more than just "the same but prettier." Up until the New Super Mario Bros series of Mario games, even that was doing something new every iteration. Sunshine, Inside Story, Superstar Saga, Galaxy and so on were all wildly different from each other.
Each Zelda, while having similar goals and structure, also typically have different gimmicks and strengths in totally different areas. None of them are even close to the same.
Each Smash Bros has major mechanical changes, such as the elimination of wavedashing, making things floatier, making things less floaty and giving killing power back to throws, changing edge mechanics, the nature of clones and derivatives is redefined and expanded upon.
You are confusing genre-defined traits and mechanics with sameness.
>>257793954
When did I say that? I've made 3 posts in this thread all about Wii U games or comfiness.
>>257794051
So, are people just buying PS4s and using it as a $400 decoration?
>>257793556
Sony did not do the marketing themselves, the media did.
The whole "IT IS THE MOST POWERFUL CONSOLE ON THIS GEN" image attracts a lot of middle class idiots to buy it.
It's literally the same with smartphones, they buy the best ones specs-wise to browse facebook.
>>257793784
That is indeed the best choice.I seriously don't see any reason to own a ps4.

I thought I would get some good discussion in this thread, about video games. Instead I get fanboys who refuse to listen to any criticism.
>inb4 graphics whore
Nintendo, going back to up to date graphics wouldn't hurt you. Remember when Gamecube had better graphics than PS2? Sorry but it's 2014 and I refuse to buy anything that has trouble rendering in 1080p games that look seventh gen. You already fucked up with the Wii. A 480p console in 2006, for fuck's sake. You should be ashamed.

It happens on all consoles anon, don't blind yourself to the truth. Console faggotry is everywhere, and at least 50% of the time it's just people doing it for shits and giggles who have no real stake in the matter and just want to make everyone look bad.
Even before this gen. Even before that gen. It always happens, always and forever, time and again, so don't act surprised like it's something special.

It's the truth though. Also Pii Urine is the worst piece of hardware shit since the N-Gage. Actually the N-Gage had a better bang for your buck ratio than the Pii Urine. It's a fucking toaster from the 1990s for third world rednecks.

Thats' what you say after all.
>>257793968
People don't want to buy it because THEY DON'T KNOW IT EXISTS.
How is that so difficult to understand? How many consoles are bought by parents for their kids? How often do parents give a shit about keeping up with every little thing in gaming today? How often do you find people in a thread who either claim to be or claim to know someone who has had to make the distinction to a customer that the Wii-U is not a Wii? That last one was rhetorical. The answer is a lot, because there's no way you haven't seen those.

>>257795416
The real problem is fanboys like you. You just can't accept that maybe some people don't like the Wii-U. You have to make up excuses about how the "EVIL GAMING INDUSTRY" wants to kill Nintendo, and that nobody else is suffering from corruption in gaming journalism. No, it's only poor Nintendo, and if you don't like them, you must somehow be an evil sonygger.
You expect me to take you seriously, let alone consider the Wii-u a good console, when you act like such a child in the face of people who don't agree with your views?
>>257795683
I could say the same to you, Mr. "Other M wasn't a bad game."

Well, you're a very small minority. Nintendo fans hate the PS1 and Ps2, because it's "evil sony trash".
The people saying it's a lack of marketing are right.
I'm in the Netherlands and I haven't seen the damn thing ONCE on TV, let alone on posters in the street. If I ask a random stranger if he wants a Wii U he'd go "Wii U? isn't it Wii?". That's exactly how anyone not that active on the internet is responded with in my family and friends.

I'm a nintendrone and I love my PS2 and PS3
I don't think the PS2 is better than the gamecube, but the PS3 was better than the wii. Snes was best in its time on the merit of Super Metroid and other first party greats alone.
I'm a full idort now and I'm still getting miffed at how the Wii U is getting shafted. It's fine if the PS4 is doing fine and all, but devs are publishing games for everything except the Wii U for varying reasons that usually hold little water. I'll have fun with my PC and Wii U regardless, but fuck. Don't tell me it isn't harsh for that thing to get the shaft.

I never said anything about any evil gaming industry that wants to kill Nintendo, and never in my entire time here since E3 have I ever seen a single post even remotely close to that.
"There are a lot of people who don't know that it exists because Nintendo has not done the requisite marketing to raise awareness" is not the same as saying "there aren't people who don't want it." There are always people who don't want a specific console - why the fuck do you think there's three of them? Why do you think they build different images or libraries?
I realize this may be difficult for you to understand, but not everyone who replies to your retardation are the same person. I haven't even read the whole comment chain, it's just especially obvious how dumb what you're saying is. I could just as easily turn your argument around and say
"The real problem is with hate bandwagoners like you. You just can't accept the fact that maybe the console you don't like isn't selling well because of bad marketing and not solely and only because there are people who don't want it. You have to make up excuses about how "THE DUMB NINTENDO DRONE ARMY" is willfully ignorant because lolnintendocandonowrong."
You're so fucking invested in this idea that Nintendo is doing poorly for this reason and this reason only that anyone who disagrees with you suddenly joins this imaginary mob of hardcore nintendrone faithfuls that are all saying the same thing. God forbid anyone should meet halfway.
I know this is barely relevant, but think it's interesting in relation to console audience.
I asked a friend once why he has all three, he said "PS3 to entertain myself, 360 to entertain friends and Wii U to entertain family."
His family contains him and his sister (24 and 26), and his parents (early 60s). Most of his vidya friends are younger then him (17-22).
For the record he's also a huge weeb and buys some untranslated games for DS and the Hyperdemension games.

>>257793886
OP literally calls everyone an idiot for not realising "how good" the wii u is. Anytime someone who has played it points out that it's really not very good they get told that it's just their opinion
>>257796741
I'm in the same boat as this guy.
I'm also at the point where I've found absolutely no value in the PS4 (not yet anyhow.), most of the games I've played are multiplats, and very often one of THOSE is the PS3 which (only does everything) is fucking LAST GEN.
>>257796872
Don't even try. Literally every single fucking Nintendo thread he shits up he spouts the exact same "PROVE TO ME YOU'RE NOT LYING" shit and then goes "WHO'S TO SAY YOU DIDN'T SHOP IT?"
Gotten in too many arguments with him to not recognize his shit by now. Only reason I still humour him is because I enjoy his retardation.
>>257789259
It's my fault that nintendo is selling last gen hardware at current gen prices AND has a culture designed for 10 year olds and pedophiles?
didn't Nintendo completely ignored 3rd party companies during the Wii U development whilst Sony and Microsoft asked their opinions and sent dev kits?
>>257796894
See, now you're making the same mistake you accuse me of. I never once spoke of Nintendo's marketing or how the Wii-U is doing. I've merely spoke my part in why I Don't like it. Your entire tl;dr post shoudl be directed at someone else.

>devs are publishing games for everything except the Wii U for varying reasons that usually hold little water.
>Western AAA devs usually make high-performance games ported from PCs. They were struggling with the PS3/360 and they're glad to have the leeway of newer consoles.
>Japanese devs get more money from smartphones and handhelds than consoles.
>Nintendo home consoles have had shit 3rd party support since the N64, so now most people who buy Nintendo consoles only do it for Nintendo games.
Essentially, the Japanese devs don't care, the American devs don't care, and the few devs that do risk making a WiiU game usually get fucked over because most WiiU owners aren't nearly as patricians as /v/ and are only willing to buy the newest Mario.

Odd that you own a PS3 when you previously stated that sony shouldn't be supported at all and that they're evil cancerous mature gamers who are ruining the industry.
This image just raises more questions.
The problem is that 3rd party publishers abandoned it.
>>257796808
It isn't harsh. Why would anybody make games for a system people don't buy and the people that do buy it only buy Nintendo games for it. Activision tried, Ubisoft tried. That's 2 out of the big 3. Why should anybody bother?
There are plenty of issues, like Nintendo still not properly advertising them outside of Nintendo Directs.

Where's your proof that other posts in this thread have said anything of the sort? Do me a favour and link me to them. Go on, do it.
If anything that picture would prove to you that it is not impossible for a Nintendo fan to own other consoles, but hey maybe he photoshopped it in because we're all liars apparently guys did you hear every single nintendo fan loves other m and hates from software and it's literally impossible for any nintendo fan to own a ps3 because they're all a huge paranoid hivemind that calls everyone a sonygger if they don't like their console prove it to me that you're not these 50 other people who don't exist in the thread saying these things that never happened ever PROVE TO ME YOU DIDN'T SHOP IT

>>257798496
>>257798795
The reason I don't believe either of you: the thread started out with Nintendo fans calling people sonyggers and Microshills if they didn't like the Wii-U. First post here: >>257789831
Notice how the guy he's replying to isn't even mentioning Sony or MS, let alone in a good light. Yet he has to rush in and say "WELL THEY'RE NOT DOING GOOD EITHER, STOP HATING NINTENDO!"
Then we get a post like this >>257789963 which just screams "I hate the Ps4, but I want their games" something which you guys made fun of sony fans for when they asked for Bayo 2.
Next up we get a post like this >>257790654 which implies that the poster replied to mentioned Sony, and not to mention the hate my first post got, which was here >>257790871
I'm basically called an "Entitled sonygger" despite never once saying I wanted a Ps4.
SO YES, I blame all of you for these posts. Take some responsibility.
>>257799332

Not at all. Paper Mario Sticker Star is on par or worse than DA2 when it comes to fucking terrible sequels that ruin a series.
Mario Galaxy 1 and 2 are shit, mario golf is shit, other m is shit, etc.
Nintendo has made bad games, but it happens way less often than with other companies. They also make GOOD games, and you fucking rarely see those anywhere else. Besides a handful of exceptions, the most any other company can aim for is "mediocre"

>>257800204
>It actually changes various things, such as the day limit, pikmin types, command of players and environments, then again, I won't tell you to play it as you seem close minded
I love the Wii U and bought it at midnight launch. Having said that 1080p60fps should be standard in 2014. Thats a negative but positively, at least when Nintendo says 60fps it actually is locked at that framerate.
The launch was only just OK. Nintendo Land was fun getting drunk with mates. I personally really liked Zombi U despite it being rough around the edges. Everything else was a bit meh and the drought was terrible.
The controller doesnt have enough range for streaming.
I had constant issues with connecting via wifi and had to get a network adapter.
Plenty to criticize about the Wii U. Its still the only current gen console worth owning with the best library of games and a good compliment to PC.
>>257800204
>Especially when it is the kind of sequel that changes nothing
not true.
>>257800395
>Besides a handful of exceptions, the most any other company can aim for is "mediocre"
And this is why I think you're biased. You refuse to look outside of your bubble, and if I listed a non-Nintendo game I thought was good, you would shoot it down as "sonygger shit".
>The problem is idiots who don't realize how amazing the Wii U is.
I have a wii u and it isn't good. I don't really know or care if I'm an idiot because I "can't comprehend the fun" or whatever, but it just isn't.
All your arguments would be relevant OP, if only Ninty had released the WiiU 6 years ago

Literally only your post is using the word microshill.
And now you're laughing at him for wanting some other console's games. You're not exactly making either of the other fanboy crowds look good, you know, especially when it's the same shit every thread. "I don't believe you, I don't believe you, respond to my irrational pennypinching bait so I can treat every single one of you like you're all the same person."
Not a single person has called you an entitled sonygger, unless you truly are so deluded (I doubt it, I'm just humouring your bullshit at this point) to believe that any disagreement implicitly says two dozen other unflattering things.
You're going to have a hard time ever getting anyone to take responsibility for something they've never said. Jesus may do it, but other, less stupid people won't. Not now, not ever. Not that I expect you to understand this if you haven't figured it out after months of baiting, trolling and shitposting.
>>257800771
What games do you have anon?
>>257800468
When I say change I mean like the amount of change between Mystical Ninja and its sequel on N64. Like the level of change between Super Mario World and Mario 64. Like the level of change between GTA2 and GTA3. Change where the game at its core changes. Pikmin is still basically the same. You gather pikmin. You use them to gather those things you get from flowers to get more pikmin then you kill enemies and open paths to parts then send those parts back being wary of enemies

>>257801201
Go Williams yourself, Microshill.
Wii U has had a really awful lineup of games.
I don't blame anyone for not wanting to buy it. Nintendo has been reusing the same shit for their games since the 90s.
Now that they are showcasing new IPs I think people are becoming more interested.
Also that gamepad controller was a terrible idea.
>>257789259
>mfw I have a Wii U and retards keep hyping it up way beyond how good it actually is
It's a good console and I've had ~300 hours of fun with it, but it's not nearly as good as /v/'s bastion of Nintoodlers makes it out to be.
It's above the PS4 and Xbone for sure, but still pretty barren unless you like absolutely every single possible Nintendo franchise ever.
Also, the two heavy hitters aren't even out yet:Bayo 2 and X.
>>257801298
Because someone said "I recommend Pikmin 2" to which I said why would I get a sequel for a game I didn't like when it's the kind of sequel that changes nothing. You took it to be me saying it literally changes nothing when what I meant was it does not make the kind of massive changes on the scale of the examples I gave to be different enough that people who didn't like its predecessor may like it
>>257800914
>is the first post to use that word, not even halfway, and only to accuse others of saying it when nobody had.
Don't even lie. The word is used non-stop on /v/ every single moment of the day, and you use it against people who don't even support sony products half the time. It's become the catch-all scapegoat when you want to defend your precious Nintendo.Not once has a discussion of Nintendo gone down without someone saying "yeah we're so much beter than those stupid sony fans who like shooters" and then when someone brings up a game they like that isn't on a Nintendo system, it's shitposted to hell and back. So please, put down the victim card and accept some responsibility.
>one guy being an idiot
Yes, of course. The ten or so people I quoted are one person. Sure.
>And now you're laughing at him for wanting some other console's games.
Because isn't this a deplorable act? Remember when people asked for Bayo 2 on the Ps4? You laughed at them, so I assumed it was a stupid thing to want. Yet here he is, wanting Bloodborne on the Wii-U, and everyone gives him a round of applause. You don't see the double standard there?
>Not a single person has called you an entitled sonygger,
Then explain why hundreds of posters brought up sony even when not prompted to.
>You're going to have a hard time ever getting anyone to take responsibility for something they've never said.
oh really? The years of people saying "Ps1 and Ps2 have no games, sony a shit" never happened? Is that what you're saying?
Look, I don't mind Wii-U threads where you guys go to discuss your games and what you're hyped for. What I don't like is these threads where you only go in to circlejerk about how you're somehow more "enlightened" then the dumb sheeple masses that you berate and laugh at every other thread. That should be a bannable offense.
>>257801260
They dont have relevant technology. No consoles do so you might as well just pick your poison if you are going to play on console.
Also unrelated but fuck Sony and their pateonising for the gamers/this is for the players bullshit. Its the worst most cringe inducing marketing I have seen in years and is transparent as all fuck.
>>257801871
Actually it's "For the players" it's actually a really clever marketing campaign. It keeps the brand in mind (PLAYstation). It tries to make the corporation the customer's friend. And it plays off the successful "we're not microsoft therefore we tenderly make love to your anus and don't take you roughly" thing that they've had going for them since e3 2013. I especially like that they don't use "gamer"
>>257801871

Firstly I spell literally correctly and you couldn't even copy what I wrote correctly.
Secondly, you somehow managed to completely miss my point. The fact that they don't turn the formula on its head is not a criticism of the sequels. However, it serves as an explanation of why telling me to get the sequel is stupid. If I don't like tangerines I probably won't like oranges.

How to sell me a Nintendo console.
-Get a name that isn't embarassing
-Get rid of the Miiverse shit
-Get rid of gimmick shit and just give me a classic controller - Motion control and tablets are worthless for me
-Release games that i care about: Decent Metroid, Decent Zelda, F-Zero, Star Fox, Non-shitty Mario rehash
-Drop the regionlock
After that i will happily go to the next store and buy one. Not earlier.
No games that offer me an experience I haven't already gotten on my PC or a previous console.
Fuck I have like 400 steam games I haven't even played, I'm still working through my PS3 collection, have the entire Wii library to play through...
In general, just never buy a console until the next generation comes out. If you must, buy games you want when they are cheap in case they become hard to find later, but there is no reason not to wait till all the revisions and other bullshit get taken care of. It gives you time to play the games and you get the best product for the lowest price. Its win win win.

So all people want are multiplats. They don't want anything from first parties.
Makes sense, PS4 has one of, if not the, lowest attach rates of any console ever despite being the fastest selling in history. Sony says they sold 30 million units of software as of last week or so, counting digital sales, while Nintendo says they've sold over 36 million software units as of May (before Mario Kart.) Wii U might be selling less, but people are actually buying games for it.

>I said apart from a few exceptions, most of the games I play from other companies are mediocre.
And again you show how you refuse to look outside your bubble and find good games. You like to pretend that nothing else is good and that only Nintendo is capable of making good games.
There are no "Exceptions". If you actually bothered looking, you'd find a wide array of great games.
