>Any faint hopes for a Wii U resurgence took a hit today, as the Nikkei is reporting that Nintendo will cease production on the system by the end of this year. Kantan Games analyst Dr. Serkan Toto summarized the Japanese-language report on his Twitter account.

>According to Toto, the paper is reporting that some Wii U accessories have already been discontinued, and Nintendo is planning to run through its inventory of systems and hardware this year as well. While the NX is expected to be unveiled this year, the paper doesn't address one way or the other whether the system will also launch in 2016.

http://www.gamesindustry.biz/articles/2016-03-22-nintendo-halting-wii-u-production-this-year-report

This pretty much confirms a 2016 release for NX. There's no way they're not releasing it during the holiday season and it'd be suicide to not have a console on shelves for another year.

they probably already have like 5 million of unsold ones if not 10. No reason to keep production, but it doesn't mean they will release the NX immediately.
At least it remove the option of the NX being a 32X type of machine

People are just waiting for the NX to be announced already. It's annoying that they put out the idea out years ago but keep saying they won't talk about. Especially since they were the ones who brought it up in first place.

The ONLY good thing to come from Nintendo lately is the new Kirby game.
I used to like them, but they've fucked up too many times. I hope the NX fails worse than the Wii U.

>They legitimately bought a Wii U full price

Bought it dirt cheap and used, so I won't be supporting Nintendo's shit decisions and I get to have the chance to play games I'm interested in.

I only really bought Splatoon, I'm cautiously looking on whether to purchase another title or just turn it into a pirate box.

I told you faggots.

I

TOLD

YOU

The NX is coming out this year, it's the replacement for the Wii U, going to compete with the PS4 and Xbone for those titles.

Nintendo is dropping the casual market and handing it off to their mobile divisions, they want to compete with the "gamer" audience who is focused on getting the big sales right now.

It'll release in 2017 and there will be one final bundle for the Wii U with the new Zelda.

>>
>>331690264
Why would you launch a console in the spring, or a year after you stop production for your last one?
>>
>>331686040

GameCube sales were more of a threat coming out of N64's garbage sales than the Wii U's sales coming out of the Wii and DS's success, especially since Amiibo paid off Wii U's losses

Which means they literally took no loss with the Wii U

Oh, so they're going to continue to produce new Wii U systems for another 8 months.

This confirms a 2017 release for the NX. They will have enough Wii Us on hand to meet demand well in to 2017.

>>331690769
To maintain backwards compatibility Nintendo would to:

-Make NX powerful enough for pure software emulation
-Use a more modern POWER processor
-Rework the same 750-based CPU they've been using since Gamecube.
-Expend some of their silicon budget to include a Wii U CPU somewhere on the die [and possibly GPU if they don't go AMD again].

PS4 is a great console but besides Bloodbourne and Uncharted it has nothing appealing enough for me.

At this point this will sound like wishful thinking but in theory they could stop producing Wii U units but they can still develop downports of NX games for it.
Of course they won't, sadly.

I'm very curious to see how well the NX will do. Nintendo home consoles has done poorly for most third-party developers, but their multiplayer titles have done very well.

Will it be yet another first-party only machine? Can they afford that AND release a console that technologically competes with the PS4 and XBone? Are Japanese third-parties willing to risk developing for another Nintendo console when developing for the last FIVE consoles has proven poor business?

>>331691972
The biggest problems with the Wii and U's gimmicks were that they were criminally underutilized. Hardly any games actually used the Remote for more than occasional puzzles, and the pad is barely ever used as something other than a map (which is useful, but uninteresting). The gimmicks are cool, but they weren't used to their fullest most of the time.

Im sure nintendo has enough wii u's stockpiled to last for years to come if they are to halt production this year at the rate it's selling.

Because Nintendo Land and Game & Wario were literally nothing BUT minigames, with no substance to them in the end. They're aimed more towards playing with friends or as a party game, and there's incredibly little takeaway or fun once you go through each game.
Hell, Land was pretty much sports 2.0 and more of a systems test anyway, and G&W is hated because its proof that wario and his games are dying/dead, since Shake it! tried to be a new platformer but failed to understand what made the other games great and used the wagglan mechanic poorly.

That doesn't matter. It's not my fault MS is stupid and didn't have BC in mind when they made the XB1. I can play Xbox games on my 360, Wii games on my Wii U and PS1 games on my PS2.

>>
>>331692935
Because they used different architectures [RISC vs. x86] for the consoles and they never really considered 360 BC as being important until the fans got pissed.

So, they just port selected titles to Xbox One and then let you download the port for free if you already own it. If your game isn't on the list, it isn't BC.

Speaking from experience, you really can't. Support was shitty at best.

Because the Wii U is basically just a faster Wii. The Wii layer gets sandboxed and that's that.

Because all PS2s essentially contained a PS1, similar to how original run PS3s contained key PS2 components.

The Wii U is 4 years old, it's had a lifespan. A relatively short console lifespan, but it's had its lifespan. Nobody complained when the Virtual Boy was discontinued, screwing over the 770,000 people that bought them.

It's going to be underpowered compared to current gen consoles, isn't it? Especially with PS4.5 release this year.

Both. I remember when the VIrtual Boy came out, was a cute little experiment, and when it was discontinued. I looked up how many units sold.

I know that. Like I said MS is fucking dumb for not having proper BC at launch. I have plenty of unfinished 360 games I don't want to get my broke, piece of shit 360 back out with a disc reading problem and a fucking up PSU just to play them. Also the only problem I ever had playing original Xbox games on my 360 was Halo 2, and that was just with the ghosting stuff the game itself worked fine.

The only things we know is that it is going to be their next system. They've called it a "platform" and they've called it a "console".

We know they met with AMD and Imagination for chip set pitches. AMD offers x86 and Radeon GPUs, they also hold an ARM license. Imagination offers MIPS [which is what PS1, PS2, and N64 used] and PowerVR [which is what a lot of iPads and iPhones use, as well as the Dreamcast].

MIPS and ARM are both RISC-based CPU and Nintendo has used RISC for its consoles since N64.

It's pretty much one of the only worthwhile games on the Virtual Boy, but man is is a great one.

I'm half-surprised Nintendo hasn't come out with a Virtual Boy Virtual Console yet, since the 3DS would be the perfect platform for it. Considering the VB's tiny library it wouldn't even take them that long to fill it up.

> the open world and gameplay was fun as fuck
No it wasn't.
Combat is boring shit just as the prequel. slightly improved but still rock bottom even when it comes to Jrpgs.

Mechs, while they had some fun handeling, were hampered by shitty (or non-existant in a lot of cases) collision detection. XCX is visually impressive, even if the engine makes it look like crap, the art direction was good enough to save it. But walking on it wasn't as fun as, say, Dargon'sDogma which has a boring generic world and yet has many memorable combat scenarios and little moments.

XCX failed to have a good story, characters I cared about, or good combat. It failed on all of its core tenents, everything else (the world, visually) is just a cherry on top

>Oh no wait, your a censorship fag
not really. I just have minimum standards. Paid for the game regardless because it's not a franchise I hold dear to my heart, I don't mind if it goes to shit in the future via my support of the western release.

>>331696141
Can't wait. Gonna love the awkward B-movie production, weird faces and uncanny motion-cap animations. 7 members in combat sounds like a clusterfuck. It's going to be adorable. "So bad it's good" kind of thing.
SO4's combat was actually good at least.
