>Best exclusive games
Nigger what? Nintendo exclusives are 90% platformers and puzzle games. They have literally two (2) action games and nothing in the shooter/sports/driving/RPG/fighting game genres, let alone anything else.
>Best gaming ethic
No support for 3rd party, no variety of titles, terrible online infrastructure, and no interest in creating titles for a larger audience is good gaming ethics now? Also Amiibos?
If you buy a WiiU, its because you're in it strictly for the Nintendo First Party IPs because you will get nothing else worth a damn from it. Of course, that's how its always been for Nintendo home consoles so nothing new there; but diehard Nintendo-only gamers are a very small demographic in the current market.
Where are the fighting games?
>>287955450
>What went wrong?
- Lackluster hardware
- Ultra gimmickan as fuck shit battery life giant tablet controller
- Confusing as fuck name and marketing

The first 3 (especially the first) contributed to the complete abandonment of the Wii U as a target for big multiplats -- especially with no good online service to support them. Whether for better or for worseprobably hella WORSE, vidya has changed, and Nintendo fuckin missed that boat completely.
My WiiU is just that *other* console I have which collects dust between exclusives. At this point it might as well be a Nintendo-Game-Only console that will only play 1st party games produced by Nintendo

but that begs the question: what can Nintendo do at this point? It's obvious that consoles in general are going the way of the dinosaur, and Nintendo apparently knows nothing else. What can Nintendo do, in 2015, to make an interesting console that isn't a laughably backwards pile of shit that only plays Zelda and Mario?

Just don't make an interesting console.
Nintendo should stay away from hardware and just release games for PC and smart phones.
>>287955450
Best exclusives eh? Name one game from any of the following genres that is out today only on Wii U: RPG, sports, strategy, shooter (first or third person), simulation, stealth, walking simulator, or tactical RPG.
Just ONE game from ANY of those. Alternately name 2 games from any of these publishers that are best played on Wii U: Activision, EA, Ubisoft, Take 2, 2K, Techland, Deep Silver, CDProjekt Red, Warner Bros. or Sega.

correction: casuals who don't play games aside from Nintendo games
a Nintendofag doesn't play anything but Nintendo so obviously they would think it's amazing. All console kids suffer from this but sonyfags/"microsoft fags" (using quotes because I don't think there exists anyone that would defend the xbone) get new mulitplats so they get some exposure outside of their bubble
Regin lock when Nintendo is notorious for not importing games even if they're already translated. Ive also never played a game that utilized the gamepad properly and their pro controller destroys it. The increasingly casualization of their series like Mari kart having less defensive measures than 64. The console would of sold even less if it wasn't for platnium.

Nintendo has no connection with their past anymore. Most games are watered down versions like paper Mario, smash or Mario kart. Donkey Kong was the only game that felt like a game from the past
>>287958013
why do Nintendofags still think that anyone that criticizes their console is a sonyfag? The PS4 is fucking shit but that's no excuse for Nintendo to release an equally shit console
xbone is shit too before anyone accuses me of being a microsoft marketer
>>287955450
It's also getting replaced like 3 years after it released.
Shorter lifespan than the fucking dreamcast. Less sales, too, and less games.

I read an article on this, forgot what it was (it was written around 2010) but it was about how Nintendo's old staff was retiring and all the challenges they were having training new people.

Bloodborne has more depth and content than 10 wii u games combined. Combined with having a lifespan beyond 2015 and costing just a little more while it plays games from everything, a ps4 is clearly the superior choice.
>>287955450
Honestly I'm surprised the console is selling at all. If you're over the age of 7 I don't see the appeal to 90% of their franchises aside from Fire Emblem.
I guess they've sold 7 million on nostalgia alone; if Nintendo were smart they would've switched some of their 3DS titles over to be developed on WiiU. I can't imagine how much they would have sold if Pokemon was on WiiU instead.
>>287958475

A woman cannot survive on Zelda and Mario alone.
Nintendo never does anything with story telling.
They haven't backed a game with a real story in years.
People like subtle stories in their games. Enough to squeeze blood out of the rock that is LoZ with some bullshit timeline.
People do actually like games with some substance to them.
Mario games are equivalent to tablet/smartphone games to a lot of people now. It's the kind of shallow experience you can enjoy in bursts but it doesn't stick with you.
>>287958487
Oh right, I forgot that already released games don't count.
The only ones that matter are the ones that you can shill for on /v/ without actually playing yet!
>>287958382
The Wii U is definitely a failure compared to Nintendo's previous console bouts, but I don't think the problem is with the system itself. I think it has more to do with the market in general.
Most of the Wii U exclusives themselves have been well received by most critics and have sold fairly well, enough to at times boost the sales of console units. But this generation as a whole I think has been downright awful for home consoles.
>a famine of this gen console exclusives for the PS4 and X-Box One
>exponential decrease in home consoles sales in the Japanese market, which at least for Sony and Nintendo is probably the most important market.
>Sony barely breaking even with the PS4
>gamers generally, especially in Japan, making the move to mobile phones and handheld consoles over home consoles
The Wii U suffers from things all its own, but a lot of the bullet holes come from guns that are shooting up the whole industry
>>287958774
I guess your useless trolling attempts are a good effort, but they don't disprove what I said. A bunch of 5 hour kids games with recycled content doesn't exactly make for a grand library, much to you and all the other shills on /v/ dismay.

Why do people keep saying the Wii U has Zelda?
All it has is fucking Mario.
The only thing related to Zelda on Wii U is Hyrule Warriors, which is fucking Musoushit shovelware with a coat of Zelda paint.
You might as well count the Nintendoland minigames as proper entries in their series if you're counting Hyrule Warriors as a proper Zelda.

The only reason anyone will own a Wii U is to play Smash (which bombed), Mario (which bombed), and Zelda, and only the most diehard Nintendo fan will bother with those games. Everything that could have gone wrong with this thing went wrong. Maybe one day baby games will be trendy and Nintendo will experience a resurgence in popularity, but not this gen.
>>287958487
you forgot Captain Toad Treasure Tracker, Kirby and the Rainbow Curse, Xenoblade Chronicles X, Starfox U and Zelda U
>>287958881
This is part of the reason for me too.
I dont need a story in every game but platformers and puzzle games arent worth 60 bucks to me anymore. They do feel like mobile games to me. Zelda and Pokemon are really the only Nintendo IP I will pay full price for because they are longer than 6 hours

>>287959128
are you? last time a checked, wii u has less sales than the vita, which as no big name games like smash, mario kart, monster hunter or dragon quest. all which the wii u already has
>>287958889
>I think it has more to do with the market in general.
True, I'm definitely of the opinion that the console market is dying out as things like Steam take over. I'm not the biggest fan of Steam (it's DRM) but with the rise of shit like TF2 and Dota it's clear where the money is, for better or for worse.
The Wii U gets shafted because of bad marketing and terrible design. The underpowered hardware probably would have been negligible if it didn't have a touchpad controller.
Meanwhile, the shitty economy for millenials means that they don't have as much disposable income for luxury items like consoles. Hence the rise of PCs especially as older PC hardware can go farther with newer games.
It's all a mess, and Nintendo gets hit the hardest because "hardcore" types moved onto PC with casuals, and kids play on their cellphones (and to a certain extend the 3DS) now. The Wii U's failure has been in the making for over a decade, long before it was even conceived.
>>287958095
10 years ago, we didnt have mobile phones as powerful as modern day consoles in our pockets
the timesss, they are a changinnnn
>>287959128
both games sold like shit and both games are regarded by Nintendo fans as being really mediocre.
>complaining about region lock
Just buy a system from the region you want games from. It's not fucking difficult
>>287959345
Vita's best selling game hit only 1.4 million, which means its true install base is less than 3 million.
>>287959459
some of us bought our Wii Us retail, are we supposed to just deal with it? If so I would have never bought a Wii U in the first place
It's pretty obvious why the wiiu died
>controller gimmick is shitty, went for the "we want the ipad audience" and failed miserably
>a majority of the 8 year olds who bought the wii grew up and got ps4s so they can play call of duty, these 8 year olds made up 90% of nintendo's demographic
>the other 9%, people who wanted wagglan shit like wiifit and justdance don't even know the difference between the wii and the wiiu, and frankly they ended up never playing the wii anyway so they don't really care
>the last 1% is 25 year old virgins who are trying to relive their childhood by playing the same shitty rehashes over and over again
As nintendo sees it their best solution is to pump out shit for 10-12 year olds like bayo and zombiu but without multiplats and billion dollar marketing budgets these won't appeal to anybody anyway so they're just a waste of production money. They should just keep pumping out rehashes until they get to their next console which will probably be popular with children again (as the cycle goes)
>>287959459
Don't even acknowledge region lock idiots.
They pretend it's a major issue, when it doesn't even effect 99.99% of consumers. Fuck, not even the ones complaining about region lock would ever actually import a game.
It's bullshit complaining for the sake of it.
>>287958889

What went wrong is the casualisaztion of the industry. People want cinematic experiences and assassins creed clones and nothing else.

That's the Xbone :^)
Nintendo has been second fiddle or worse since the Playstation, from a simple consoles shipped perspective even the Wii ended up being not too far ahead compared to its competition, certainly nothing like the level of dominance the PS2 had in its day. They're quite used to playing the long game with consoles, and they've had the handheld market on lockdown for decades, one of the reasons they're making the offensive into mobile games soon.
Despite the opinion of the industry experts and master economists on /v/, Nintendo isn't about to go full retard and pull the rug out from under their entire consumer base by dropping the Wii U prematurely. NX (if it's even their next home console) won't be out till mid-2017 at the earliest.

Nah fuck you. Hell on a Sony console you can make a JP account AND US so you dont even need to import. You can digitally buy region exclusive games
>>287959730
The way Nintendo is going, if you don't own a phone, you're a casual
>>287959172
No hardware, no games.
No games, no sales.
OG NES era president of Nintendo understood this, despite videogames being super new at the time.
It was important that they could point at older machines like the 2600 and say 'ours is much stronger, and this is what the games look like.'
Wii u does wii graphics with a shitty tablet controller, and gets a new Nintendo game every 4 months at best.

Nintendo didn't escape it, in many ways they created it with the Wii. Muh cinematic garbage is just as bad as overcasualized kiddy games with no difficultly. Just look at how easy (and boring) Skyward Sword was.

Mind you that game that sold 1.4 million sold that way back in 2011. No game since has come even close. That means most early Vita adopters threw their Vitas away. Again, Vita's install base is less than 3 million.
>>287959791
Instead of the 3ds, vita killed the wii u
Vita has a better screen than the gamepad
Think about that
I own a wii u and the only thing that pisses me off is how 'multiplat' now means "available for all consoles but Nintendo," a trend that started in the gamecube era but is peaking now.

NES was only stronger than it's competitors because it had none.

Hardware has never meant shit for anything.
>>287959734

>this fucking image
Could you be anymore of a faggot, you even have the impact font.
To your answer your question, Wii was shit no one cares about that B/C, Free Online with like 3 games that support it, and a piss poor account system. Every console can play used games. All consoles support indie devs, in fact I'd wager Sony and MS even more so. The first party line up? Its good, but as someone who is a fan of competitive play, its severely lacking multiplayer games, which are often provided by 3rd party support, which the Wii U has minimal of.
>>287959459
>It's not fucking difficult
No, but when a game doesn't get released in your region it's literally impossible.
It may not affect the vast majority of consumers, but you have to be some special kind of retard to actually defend it.
>>287959802
is this how you're going to defend it?
$600 is a fair amount of money, imagine all the games you can buy on Steam with it. Or fuck you could even buy a PS2 and hundreds of games for it. You could get a Wii too, all the worthwhile games for it, and still have $300 leftover for a used SNES and games for that.

Using the same logic, there are tens of millions of people who throw away their 3DSes.
Nintendo consoles sell less because people play them at other people's houses. Mass online multiplayer is what Nintendo had in most games, and most other consoles force you into one copy per online account multiplayer. See AAA FPS games.

You literally have no idea what you're talking about. How much a game sells in the first week is completely irrelevant to how much it sells overall in a season.
>the 3ds edition sold twice as much as the console edition.
Smash 4 INCREASED the number of Wii U units sold. And Newsflash: handhelds selling more than home consoles is the story of this gen. Sony and Microsoft are doing far worse than Nintendo in the home console scene. The problem that people in general aren't buying home consoles very much this generation is well known. Even the Japanese aren't buying them anymore because it's easier and cheaper to buy mobile and handheld games, especially when they have the power and capabilities of many home consoles from previous generations

And the most hilarious part is that when the Wii U 2 is released and nobody buys it, Nintendofags will still bitch about muh poorfaggotry as they rebuy their Amibo collections.

People are buying it out of hype, realizing that it is trash and then either selling it or junking it. The best selling PS4 game just sold 6 million copies.

Nintendo is not all about specs it's about having people over and playing Vidya. It's a console that tries to keep the feel of the older gens while giving it a fresh feel instead of becoming another wanna be pc.

The PS4 is doing so bad in Japan that it's only real hope is Final Fantasy XV actually being good.

>>287960650

No, the best selling PS4 game just barely doing over 6 million means most people who are buying PS4s are letting them collect dust or are selling them out of buyer's remorse.

So what? It still did 20 million in the rest of the world.
>>287960713
Then why is it so bad, anon?
Old consoles were great. Why is the wii so shit if it's trying to be like old consoles?
Why, anon? I don't understand this.
I remember playing all these third party and first party games on my old consoles. I'd get every game released on them. Why doesn't the wii u get any games?
Why does the wii u use a shitty tablet controller, anon? I don't remember playing my old consoles with such an unwieldy piece of shit, that's so awful, developers don't even want to use it for their games.
>>287960070
I still named 13 so piss off.
>>287960906
Are you retarded?
It means that people dont all like the same games on PS4. Those 14 million people who didnt buy it could easily just have bought another game.
I dont know if you know this but the PS4 has multiplats too.
I have to ask, I'll be buying a WiiU when Fire Emblem X SMT comes out anyway; does playing with the gamepad controller improve the games in any way?
>>287960550
3DS has sold about 51 million. Means 40 million people threw away their 3DSes.
>>287960973
You forgot Mario Kart 7 and 3dLand.
>>287961086
> ll be buying a WiiU when Fire Emblem X SMT comes out
So you'll never be buying a WiiU I take it?
Look Nintenfriends just because the Wii U is a historic failure doesn't mean the console industry is crashing. Nintendo just colossally fucked up.
Trying to downplay the PS4's utter sales domination just makes you look bitter.
>>287961020
old consoles were great because at the time, they were NOT old. each console that came out at the time was a mix of the best components you could get, for the cheapest price. hell, older consoles did entire generation jumps, 2d to 3d, offline to online, cartridges to disks.
so to be like "old consoles" it needs to be impressive and bring something new to the table of actual use.
>>287960953
Rika is a miracle of the universe..!
>>287961139
Why would I include a game that didn't sell 10 million?
>>287961086
If you don't have a pro controller it'll substitute well. Otherwise it only comes in handy if you don't want to bother turning the tv on (or otherwise can't for whatever reason). Very rarely will a game use a touch mechanic that you can't negotiate via other means, the only ones I've personally come across so far being captain toad (which is amazing and worth it), nintendoland and some side missions of super mario 3d world.

No. The games that sold over a million (except FIFA) are all in similar genres, meaning its the same people who are buying those games. If people weren't selling their PS4s or letting them collect dust, COD, B4, WD sales would all exceed 10 million on PS4.
