Wii U / Nintendo general news and discussion

I finally put my money where my mouth was today.
I wasn't planning on picking up Blacklist or Black Flag but they were going for half nothing so I couldn't pass them up. Black Flag will be my first Assassins Creed since No.2 so it might be nice to jump back into the series.
I'll have to decide what the free downloadable game will be. Swaying towards SMB at the moment. Great problem to have!
How much it set you back for everything? I want one ish but im waiting on the right deal to pop out at me0 -

Nintendoland is a nice little compilation of tech demos for the WiiU and it's strengths.
But you may get bored with that.
I know nothing about Fifa unfortunately.
Yea I get you.
Any of you order fro gsmestop? It says next day delivery is available but does that mean I need to sign or anyone needs to? Says its free

So um, is the WiiU turning into a failure? Albeit, slowly? I like my WiiU, some brilliant games on it, but I, along with all you guys who have one too, are a very small group of hipsters now and I think Sony have it in the bag this gen.
I have a ps4 for the past few weeks, sure there is nothing on it of interest at the moment but sure it was the same with the WiiU for the first year, but some how the ps4 is selling a million times better as, I think people, in a more general sense, know the big games will come in the next year. You could say the same for WiiU but it just isn't happening. SSB4 is not going to sell millions of WiiU's in my eyes, it's not as popular as Mario kart which has sold 2.5 million but still Nintendo has made a loss, mk8 is more long term I know, but, eek, it's still not looking great in the long term.
And sure that QoL thing has to be revealed, a last grab at the casual 'blue ocean' crowed before Sony totally take over? Again?
Still love my WiiU though! it goes great beside my ps3 and 4 0 -

I have Wii U, PC,PS3 and PS4 ( plus Ps Vita and 3Ds XL ) right now. And I see each of these devices very differently. I am a gaming hardware freak, so if I can, I buy it.
PC - is still my main gaming platform and its going to be like that for ages. I cant see it going away.
PS4 - I bought it on lauch, because I could. It does not have much to play now, but I see it as sort of investment. Games will come 100% for PS4 so buying it now does not make me worried when I am looking at current titles.
Wii U - I bought it, because that is the only console that still focuses on local multiplayer. 4 people local multiplayer is something nintendo does great! I love my wii U as it is now. It has games that I want to play right now and I already like games that coming out in near future. I dont see wii U as investment, but as a Fun console I can use here and now. that says a lot, when its coming from someone, who does not care about Mario/Zelda and finds a lot of fun with wii U, without main Nintendo franchises.
Since I got Wii U, my ps4 is not even being turned on anymore. Iam purely playing on PC/Wii U now. I a lot more often go off PC and go play some wii u, then I ever did with ps3/360/ps4.
So tl:dr PS4/One is Being looked at like investment, and Wii U as Dying ( I dont really agree ) console, so thats why people buy other consoles more then Wii U.
I personally think that Wii U is more next gen then other 2 boys.0 -

Failure in the sense it's not going to be the highest selling (or profit making) console of it's generation? Does that actually matter? It's not going to put Nintendo out of business. So what if 3rd party games don't come to the Wii-U - nobody buys it as their only gaming system. You buy it for 1st party titles you can't get anywhere else. Even if it turns out to be another Gamecube - that still makes it a great system with lots of great games.
The only thing that matters is that you got your monies worth from it. 0 -

Matters in terms of Nintendo's future direction. As fans of Nintendo games, we should hope they make healthy profits on their consoles, or the company could end up doing something with their games we don't appreciate, or leaving the industry altogether. Right now, they have a failing home console, and a profitable but still disappointing (in their own view) portable. Uncomfortable times.0 -

I swear, recent posts make me think someone pressed a reset button.
Can we not move on from the erroneous assumption that the WiiU is a failure and move on to see it as a format with a future? Smash Bros is going to be massive can't wait.
No?
Doomed, I tell you. Dooooooooooomed!
Or not. Kinda disappointed Toad got delayed, but maybe it'll be out before my birthday in January.
And then have double Bayonetta for the price of one.
Not a Smash fan but I do still have to get some games like Tropical Freeze0 -

Triple AAA games are too safe. There's no room for a small developer to make a really off the wall game with weird ideas. Indie games are all well and good but I miss the b tier games that have vanished and added variety to libraries.

Dan Adelman leaves NintendoIn an e-mail interview on Sunday, Adelman confirmed that he was leaving Nintendo to go independent, and said his former employer has been supportive of the move. Still, Adelman acknowledged that he was frustrated with the company's tendency to clamp him down when he said something that didn't mesh with the corporate message.
"I think people were kind of on pins and needles about anything untoward I might say," Adelman told me. "And every once in a while, I'd give an answer that people didn't like, and some people would freak out, so they tried to scale things back. First they had me do interviews with someone from PR or marketing. Later they just decided that I shouldn't be in the press at all anymore.""I had been strongly encouraged to stay off of Twitter—or at least say only things that were clearly safe—so after the region-locking comment they just said I needed to stop completely," Adelman said. "When people started complaining that I wasn't active on Twitter anymore, it was suggested that a PR person could just post in my name. I thought that was about the worst idea I'd ever heard, so I left it as is and let the silence speak for itself."
