I swear to god they fucking release a animal crossing for Wii U this year.
I very much highly doubt it due to the NX comming out next year, And going for the mobile market.
But fucking hell we need a entirely new fresh Animal crossing.

Super Mario Sunshine
Paper Mario the thousand Year door

You should all take solace in the fact that no matter how bad the NX ends up being, it's unlikely to be worse than the Wii U. It will at least have its own Zelda game

Their "5 year" consoles actually got support for all 5 of those years. The Wii U's first real game was Pikmin 3 released 9 months after release, and its last real game was Xenoblade X released late 2015. It's a 2 year console with 2 and a half years of nothing tacked on.

>>336286220
He isn't ignoring the games though, he's pointing out that Nintendo has really only put 2 years worth of support towards the console. Claiming it had a 5 year cycle is pretty disingenous, especially since 5 years from the Wii U release date will be November 2017, and at that point the NX will have been out for 8 months.
>>
>>336286220
>But that's basically ignoring every game made for it
What? No it's not, it's basically acknowledging every game made for it. Any list of top 10 Wii U games will list games released in 2013 through 2015 because there just *aren't* any other games. SFZ and Zelda will be the only big exceptions, one of which was poorly received even by fans and the other which is a cross release.

I'm not saying shit about the games that released in that time frame, in fact, I liked a lot of them. I'm just saying it was a 2 year console. Not that it had 2 *good* years, but that it only had 2 years at all.
>>

>liking nintendo

>>336286534
Well I don't own a Wii U so it's kind of irrelevant to me. It has 2 games which will probably be ported to NX and if NX fails I guess I just won't play them

>WHY DID THIS NEVER HAPPEN

The AC devs made Splatoon. Amiibo Festival was made by ND cube.So either we'd never get Splatoon or the Mario Party deves would have to make a type of game they've never made before.

I've always hated how HD development has slowed down dev teams while also requiring larger teams for each game.
>>
>>336286601
>>336286597
Good Point. Saying it like that really does make a lot more sense. Damn. Hopefully they'll concentrate on the NX and release a lot more games for it with a lot of support as well
>>
I assume the nx is competing with the PS neo? Otherwise the generations won't correlate anymore and sales will be affected
>>
>>336287002
I'd be completely happy with the Wii U if it actually got 4 solid years of support, but let's not kid ourselves. Still a good library but many of the games it should have gotten were obviously cannibalized by the NX
>>
>>336287018
NX is competing with the Xbone, bro.

>Next, about how we are looking at cost, we are not thinking of launching the hardware at a loss. When Wii U was launched, the yen was very strong. I am assuming that situation will not repeat itself. Selling at a loss at launch would not support the business, so we are keeping that mind in developing NX.

>>336281732
Honestly all of the consoles this gen were shit, the only one I can say I fully liked was 3DS.

Wii U still had some great games though, and it gave us Splatoon, which somehow sold more then Bloodborn.

I'll probably get the NX just for Splat2n and Bayonetta 3 :^)
>>
>>336287550
neo isn't even officially announced yet so there's no way to get that info but Sony and MS have a history of selling at a loss
>>
>>336287682
it'll probably also get the ff7 remake and kh3
if any of those float your boat
>>
>>336287446
The Wii U has sold half as much as the GC and is only going to sell 800k units this year as projected by Nintendo

The 3DS, while doing well relative to the Vita, has sold still 20m units less than the GBA, Nintendo's previous worst selling handheld (which incidentally was during the GC era)

Nintendo might very easily spring back from this, but they also might only achieve GC/GBA numbers in doing so. Just to assume they'd get a fluke like the Wii/DS again when the casual demographic has moved on to phones is completely missing the bigger picture.

There's a reason Nintendo is making mobile games, and that's because they're already planning their console market exit strategy
>>
>>336287816
>it'll probably also get the ff7 remake and kh3
why do people keep saying this? Even if it does happen, it's currently leaning towards the "unlikely" side. So there's no "probably" here.

>>336287736
I wouldn't assume the development costs of the neo would be dramatically higher than a ps4 (depending on the price)
I'm making a lot of assumptions but, if the neo isn't sold at a loss then there's hope the nx could be comparable
In my mind anyway

It's not only about the lifespan, but also about whatever were they initially planning to be the U's successor. The flight of the casual players to mobile games made them reconsider their approach. That's precisely why they're focusing their efforts into making sure the NX has a strong launch lineup to get back hardcore players' attention.

It seems like if there was a big surprise game coming after E3 that their estimate wouldn't be 800k. At the moment, with no new games, the WiiU is averaging about 35k a week worldwide, likely to decrease. If there were a holiday title, they'd have boosted the WiiU to 1.5 or something.

Seems like the big WiiU thing this holiday will be a price cut/bundle

1.The casuals didn't leave the wii. Nintendo simply stopped supporting it because they were trying to fix the 3DS debacle and listening to the abject fucktardation that was happening with the 3DS and listening to EA's bullshit.

2.They had those hardcore games that you're fucktarding on about. It did fuck and all for the WiiU. The problems with the admittedly shit system were basic marketing and bad management.
And them sacrificing two of their profitable IPs upon the alter of the smartphone gold rush to appease fucking retards who want quick cash is an even worse bit of management.

That's really all Nintendo has going for it, Anon-kun

>>336290230
The WiiU was launched last gen as a successor to the Wii, however they never once not ONCE ever marketed it as such and they dropped ALL FUCKING WII PRODUCTION and they didn't have any nintendo IP that people wanted.

This was compounded by the steep as fuck price.

The ps4 and xb1 and EAs shenanigans and acti and ubi ALL CONSPIRED to push the current FAILING 8th gen and push the narrative that the WiiU wasn't a replacement Wii but a beginning of a new gen.

Nintendo, being retarded or something, didn't fight this tooth and nail and didn't throw around that wii money to buy a few studios and go full GC with it. They could have easily held their own and be sitting at twenty million right now.

No fuck that, they'll cheap bitch out and play the waiting game while their IP and Name gets dragged through the mud by idiots who're too stupid to realize that they've actually shrunk the market to less then a quarter of what it was last gen through bad marketing and even worse pr shenanigans.

I can criticize a lot of these titles, but I won't. I can say "hurr Lego games r dumb" and then you'll say "nuh uh, they're great!"

But there is literally no excuse for these other than "gee I hope no one actually looks at the titles on these games."

Assuming you're talking about Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing, I agree with the former being a bad choice but the later is a pretty logical choice for a market that is profitable for sim games.

I will still never understand why Nintendo don't fund more studios as subsidiaries. They could have bought fucking Platinum, for fucks sake.

Look at the 2 studios they DID buy with the DS/Wii money.

>Monolith Soft
Fucking behemoths that help out with various other games, jack of all trades, and deliver the JRPG games that Nintendo have often lacked in house
>Retro Studios
Haven't made a bad game yet, recently expanded in to THREE teams, and seem to know the Nintendo audience.

Why haven't they bought more teams? It's ridiculous how a publishing/development company that always ends up supporting their own platforms on their own haven't prepared for EXACTLY this scenario.

i am legitimately okay with this - as long as the nx isn't a total fuck up.

honestly, i think i got more playtime out of my wii u than the wii. i definitely put more hours into xenoblade x than any wii game, i had a total fucking blast playing through the whole of super mario 3D world with my housemate, mario kart 8 was my favourite console mario kart so far, i'm still playing smash with my housemate, i still try to come on splatoon for splatfests, and dong freeze & bayonetta 2 were totally enjoyable games (even if I don't revisit them much).

before march 2017 i'm just gonna play tokyo mirage sessions, and go back and try some of the other games when they're cheap. still want to give a shot to wooly world, the 2d luigi game, captain toad and maybe ass creed: black flag.

pretty fucking good console if you ask me. while i did expect it to stick around longer, i've already gotten more out of it than i expected.

They had CoD, AC, Deusex, and Mass effect in the first 6 months. Those "hardcore" games that are always pushed as needed for a systems success did FUCK and ALL.

Hardcore does not and has never sold a nintendo system. Those games aren't even needed for the system. They need novelty and nintendo original games. The "core" games that you claim are needed are just filler. A tasty side dish, a possibility that is not really needed cause nintendo bought a unique multiplayer version from some no name company.

>>336290982
Hey someone decided they needed two bad gimmicks and went full bore with them even though neither were successful and both cost them shitloads of dosh in the end.
The 3D in the handheld was there as a way to ensure no one could copy their new DS as easily as the last DS I believe.
And the tablet controller? I don't know I have no fucking idea.
They didn't have any killer apps ready to show the fucking thing off. It was pushed probably as a way to equate nintendo consoles with tablets without going onto tablets or be the console equivalent of the DS I DON'T FUCKING KNOW.

>>336291103

They fucking dangled this game in front of Wii U owners eyes for 3 goddamn years and now instead of it being a good game that takes advantage of Wii U hardware, it'll be fucking advertising for the NX. Inexcusable.

>>336281732
Reminder that 10-year console cycles is a very new and very dumb concept since you can not fucking download some more RAM.

4.5 years is just fine. 5 years is fine. 6 years is ok. 10 years because the economy took a shit and the last games you release have to be spread over 4 discs with mandatory installs with glaringly obvious corner-cutting and downgrades because your shit is so outdated is not fine.

I didn't buy a Wii and I'm kind of interested in a few 1st party titles for the WiiU.

Is the system still worth getting for a few good games (esp platformers) and maybe the Virtual Console titles?
>>
>>336292118

Most normal console generations are 6 to 8 years. 4.5 is significantly under this, especially when you consider the WiiU still doesn't even have many good games, definitely not enough to justify buying an entire console for.

Honestly, after the shit Nintendo are pulling, I'd be surprised if they have any support from anyone left. Customers are going to be pissed because they bought a console Nintendo dropped all support for because it wasn't doing as well as they expected. Customers will have no trust in Nintendo for a long time after this.
As for developers, it takes 2-4 years to make a game. And now developers who could be far into the development of their games are finding out a successor to it is already coming? Just how much money will these developers be wasting and how pissed are they going to be?

Nintendo is literally giving everyone a giant "fuck you" because the WiiU isn't selling the 100 million a year they expected it to. They're going to burn more than a few bridges in the process.
>>
>>336299451
Even if I give you the Sanic series and its bullshit stage gimmicks in Colors, you'd still need an explanation for Mario Kart, Smash Bros, Zelda, Kirby, Wario Ware, Paper Mario, Animal Crossing, Metroid, and the shitty waggle games that were heavily advertised like Wii Music.

The Wii took nearly all of Nintendo's most iconic franchises and gave them games that were so mediocre in comparison to the others it's like they were actively trying to give it a bad line-up.
>>
>>336288195
Considering Zelda U isnt even finished after 6 years of development time(and that for a wii tier game).
No.
Expect dev cycles for nintendo games on NX to be 8 years and half of the big franchises either skipping the console or getting low bugdet spin offs ecause its the only thing they want to invest to.

Why? No fucking reason. They don't even give good bundles for them. I certainly don't care about Smash. It was kind of okay on 3DS but I'm not buying a damn console for it.

Where's the major Mario game? No Zelda game. Finally got a Star Fox game but it's more of a 20 dollar affair than full price. Pikmin 3 looks cool. Splatoon looked nice back then but it's on Nintendo's online network and online only.

A wise man once told me you should only buy a console that has at LEAST 5 solid titles on it that you wish to buy.

The Wii U has the least worthy 5 titles I've seen in a while that I'm interested in. Let alone the title "solid."

How in the fuck is ensuring that their first console purchase will have WORSE CURRENT GEN GAMES extending the shelf life of a console?
It's barely the third fucking year and it hasn't even SEEN a slim revision and we are getting a fucking system upgrade.
This is not good.
People are going to NOT buy the ps4 neo just because it's a slightly more powerful version of the overpriced console they didn't buy last time. And the people who ALREADY HAVE the console are not going to sell their shit to get a slight upgrade this soon into the consoles lifespan.

This is a move to "route" the NX and have a system in place that can use their damned to failure VR helmet.
