Why is the Wii U ignored? It's the best console released it has so many exclusives.

Do exclusives not matter anymore!?!?!?
>>
> no 3d mario
> no zeldas
> no metroids
> smash bros game is shit

I dont know why people wouldn't want to buy a Wii U


why buy a Nintendo console when the Nintendo games for it suck?

It has xenoblade and splatoon, that's about it.

What is 3D World

It's coming this year

>no metroids
At least you're getting one on 3DS

I agree
>>
>Design game for mass market?
or

pretty simple

More people buy and talk about Wii U than Xbone, OP.

Nice shitposting thread.

This is false. Especially the buy part seeing as the bone passed the Wii U in sales ages ago.
>>
>>332978928
Sure it has exclusives but it sucks as a console. Exclusives are all it has, its graphics capabilities are lower than the Xbox 360's. The Wii U just isn't good for this reason. Other consoles do have exclusives too, and they can also play 3rd party games, of which Wii U has very lacking support. The gamepad is sometimes cool, but many people don't like it, which is a failure on of the most important parts of a console is arguably the controller experience.

The only reason people buy nintendo consoles is for legend of zelda and in my case metroid and they havent made either one of them yet.

I wish they would just go 3rd party already.
>>
>>332978928

-Bad name
-Bad marketing
-Third parties ignored it
-Expensive controller meant most people don't play multiplayer games
-Nintendo waited almost 2 years to put good games out besides Mario Kart 8
-Switched to a new Eshop service, expecting everyone to rebuy all their Virtual Console games

I like the Wii U. But its flaws are obvious.

I beg to differ.
It's 3D Mario, I know because I got it for free with my Wii U and actually played it.

Perhaps you mean no Open World Mario, which is fair but you should have just said that.
>>
>>332978928
You forgot the most important part. Games are locked to the console.. lose or break it and all your games are gone too. I guess you could go physical, but y'kno.. digital master race and all.

>>332979786
so you are saying i should buy a wii u for a Zelda game that isnt even out yet?

Yes. Don't forget to buy the NX as well to play re remastered version too.
>>

Categorically false

>>332978928
Because Normies, duedbros and sjw don't like it and make more of the population than true gamers.

Mario 3D World

Yet.

I'll give you that one, actually, but then again, what the fuck can you do with Metroid anymore? Best to let it die.
>Smash Bros game is shit
"My subjective opinion is objectively correct"
>>
>>332980765
By that he meant in the style of 64 and Sunshine. He should have said a Mario collectathon game.
>>
>>332981154

>but then again, what the fuck can you do with Metroid anymore?
Metroid has the most potential out of any Nintendo IP, save possibly a Pokemon game that actually tries to change the formula.

The issue is that the people in charge of Metroid don't care about it. Metroid has always been a second thought after Warioland, Fire Emblem and Mario.

That and almost anyone could come up with a better concept for a new Metroid than Sakamoto could.
>>
>>332981430
I mean, it could just be where I don't play Metroid, but there are at least fifteen or twenty games, what else could they possibly do after that? I think it's fine to let the series die at this point.
>>
>>332978928
It doesn't have any worthwhile games. Exclusives don't make the console, and the Wii U not only has a weak lineup of exclusives, but lacks third party, continued support, poor online, poor gamepad implementation, and various issues with the OS and device itself.

It's a pretty crappy console all around, and only Nintendo fans should get something out of it; even then, it doesn't really appeal to all Nintendo fans, which is telling.
>>
>>332981089
>implying most core gamers give a shit about it either

Most of its sales come from children, much like the 3DS.
>>
>>332981757

>but there are at least fifteen or twenty games, what else could they possibly do after that?
Mario, Zelda and many other series have 5x as many games, yet still come up with new ideas.

>I mean, it could just be where I don't play Metroid
Then why the hell do you think you have a valid opinion to question where the series can go?

It only does last gen.

Even the "good" games it has are just sequels to titles that were 100x better on the SNES and N64.
>>
I just want to sell mine but what's the fucking point I'll get shit all money back, only truly good thing was the bayo pack, this abandoned piece of crap is just gathering dust.
>>
>>332978928
Because
A. It is being supported by Nintendo only
B. It has been badly marketed since day one

My Ps3 has a proper and decent account system, also has a 500gb hdd, Wii U has neither.

Relative to its hardware it is by far the most expensive console.

OH
SO I GUESS THAT MAKES YOUR NO GAMES BETTER TO NOT PLAY, HUH? MAN YOU SURE ARE AUTISTIC, PLAYING WITH A 500GB NOTHING MACHINE
DO YOU JUST INSTALL MOVIES AND NEVER WATCH THEM?

Mario Kart 8 is the best Mario Kart game so far. But aside from that, you're probably right.
>>
I can buy a PS4 for the same price as a WiiU. Why would I want that shit?
>>
>>332982696
Remove the gamepad, and it'd be a cheap system. They'd be able to sell it at $99 and still profit.

>>332978928

Why would I buy a new Nintendo console without a real 3D Mario game on it? I've played 3D World plenty at a friend's house, but that game is certainly no substitute for something like Galaxy.
>>
Oh no theres exclusives alright. Theyre just all shovelware, can be beaten in a few hours, never drop in price, and have no content. They're just...shit you know?

Captain Toad and Kirby's Rainbow Curse came out $20 less than a full price game. And were better than most full price games on the Wii U.

Once again, generalizations can be proven wrong.
