Don't act entitled to an Ambassador Program when Wii U price drops @ E3 or after

Quiet

Nintendo screwed over it's users by not providing dev units soon enough for third party devs to know the ins and outs well, because of that we had a mostly inferior third party lineup from devs and anyone who's not on board now will never be on board.

They launched a console with a painfully slow OS that takes in some cases minutes to switch between screens

And to top it off they decided that they weren't going to make games for months after the console released.

Nintendo failed on their end of the bargain.

Don't tell people to sit down and love that they got screwed.

Im having fun with the Wii U. If you're not TC, why do you have to come here and point it out to everyone? Blog it.

These troll topics are getting stupid. Take it to System Wars if nothing else. Leave these forums to actual constructive discussion for Nintendo consoles.

oh god...

the price cut will come if the other consoles are cheap.

we might see 50dollars off deals though this year or christmas..maybe more if the other consoles are cheap.

I agree.  The simple fact is this- especially on gaming website forums - we're well informed as to what will or will not be released.  I wait to purchase a new console until a must have game of my taste arises, for the Wii U that has not happened yet so I have refrained from purchasing one.

Adopting a console early always runs certain risks such as software/hardware malfunction, future price drops etc.

That's the way the gaming market works.  You don't like it, don't endorse a company's product. 

I'm not expecting anything. I am an early adopter at my own risk and it's not like Nintendo is trying to rip us off. They may be having trouble, so why should we impose a rewards program that puts even more pressure on the company? How needy can we get? I'm not sure why they felt obligated to implement the ambassador program for the 3DS but I admire them for it.

Nintendo is fine.

 

Wii U is fine.

They didn't need to do an ambassador program. I bought what I bought. I knew what I was getting myself into. I wasn't expecting anything for the 3DS and I'm not expecting anything for the Wii U. 

In regards to whether they'll do a price drop; I think they'll do more bundles before slashing the price. We'll see.

bonesawisready5

No. 

Stop complaining about the translation process.bonesawisready5

...and stop telling us what to do. :P

Wii U will get a price drop...

in 2-3 years

$50 price cut wont help much imo anyways. Heil68

I think the economy is a problem. If you look at the recent console/handheld launches the numbers have been down.Empty_World

Consoles and games cost less to buy now then they did in 2006.

You can buy more with your dollar then you could in 2006.

Enough with the economy excuse

I don;t think the Wii U even needs a price drop. $300 isn't that expensive for a console. It just needs more games.Toxic-Seahorse

I don't expect anything from Nintendo should they drop the price soon.

I decided that the Deluxe Bundle was worth spending my $350 on, so I bought it.  I bought it expecting that Nintendo would drop the price within a year (or earlier) but I wanted it day one so I bought it.  That's all I'm entitled to.

I wouldn't care if they lowered the price and didn't give any free stuff for Ambassador systems. I mean, I'm enjoying the system a lot and don't feel they owe me anything.

At this point I don't even expect games I can buy to come to Wii U, never mind free ones :P.

Also, the 3DS Ambassador games were't just given because of the price drop. They where also given out because of the lack of games released up until that point as well, so if you factor in that the Wii U is in a far worse version of the same situation the 3DS was in, Nintendo might just see fit to do another Ambasador Program, but who knows, in the end it's up to them.

E3 is a long ways off in June. I will only be pissed if Nintendo drops the price tommorrow.

I'm not looking for an Ambassador Program. I got my Wii U because I feel that the launch lineup(Pikmin 3), and promising 1st party games in the future are worth it. Of course, Pikmin got pushed back and Rayman was recently shafted; so I'm waiting a bit longer than I'd like for games that I purchased the system for. Still, I have plenty of games to preoccupy me until then.

If Nintendo comes out with another Ambassador Program, great, but I didn't buy the system with a sense that the company would give me handouts if things didn't go according to their plan.

So you bought the Wii U thinking that the OS would be broken and that Nintendo would pull games from the schedule and then apologize for the console having no games?

Waiting up to 5 minutes for an app to load or close is broken.

For some users posting to Miiverse and then back again takes over ten minutes of load times, that qualifies as broken.

Maybe yours is broken because it doesn't take 5 minutes to load an app on the Wii U.

I'd like to add too that the whole criticism about updating the console at launch was overblown.

What electronics device do you own in today's world where you don't have to update firmware immediately? I got a new bluray player a few months ago, I had to update the device. I got the Samsung Galaxy S3 in December and also had to update that device as well as any of the apps that were pre-installed. The laptop I bought last April was the same deal (not to mention the fact that I use Ubuntu, I get updates everyday + the sudo update cmd). Updates are normal.

The amount of time it took to update was also expected. The first day of launch, thousands of people connecting online to download the update. Was 45 minutes of your time really that bad if you only had to do it once?

Anyway I'm getting off topic ... but it was just really bothersome.
