Do you want the Wii U to succeed? [Poll Added]

I want all systems to do well. That would be a great thing for us gamers.

Kiddo, relax. Your go to response is "you have an opinion". Doesn't get more GED then that.

So stop responding. 

Again though, anybody that actively wishes for a console to fail is a fanboy, not a gamer. You should hope for a console to do better and produce great games. 

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]

[QUOTE="DRAGONPIECEZ"] Pretty much this. PC/WiiU combo will be my optimal choice this gen because it gives you the most variety. I'll probably add PS4 down the road as well. I seriously doubt I'll be getting the new MS console, but only time will tell. Handheld wise, primarily the 3DS and some Vita on the side are the way to go, obviously.DRAGONPIECEZ

And if all anyone cared about was the evolution of games, everyone would play nothing but PC and not on static hardware. So you really can just trash tat point. I care about games. If the Wii U produces some amazing games in the future and is enormously successful then so be it. If not then whatever. But to actively hope it fails is just fanboyish.

[QUOTE="DRAGONPIECEZ"][QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]Considering the amount of japanese games(jrpg's, fighters, hack n slash etc.) that never made to PC or WII, I find that hard to believe. MFDOOM1983

[QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"][QUOTE="DRAGONPIECEZ"] Well it's only my opinion but I don't really fancy JRPGs, and especially considering this past gen was a weak one for JRPGs as a whole it's not much of a point. And when you consider that the Wii had the best JRPG of the gen (and the Wii U is getting another by the same creators) and that the DS was a JRPG beast and the 3DS is on track to do that as well, I stand by that. Fighters you have a point since the Wii was weak in that area, but I stand by that as well since Wii U got Tekken so I don't see why it won't get any fighters in the future (unless this trend of 3rd parties dropping like flies continues).Hack and slash? Not too cultured on the hack and slash genre, but isn't Bayonetta considered one? Wii U is getting the sequal. Obviously to get the most variety in gaming is owning all options (hence why I did it last gen).DRAGONPIECEZ

[QUOTE="DRAGONPIECEZ"][QUOTE="MFDOOM1983"]Best jrpg this gen? Maybe one of the best(xenoblade), but ps3 had demons' souls, dark souls, valkyria chronicles and ni nu kuni. You can continue bringing one game from each genre I mentioned in my previous post, but the fact remains wii did not see the plethora of titles other consoles did this gen. And it's looking like wii-u's 3rd party is going to be even worse that wii. If you're going with pc/wii-u because you need to play nintendo game, then that's fine, but don't pretend for a minute that you'll getting "more variety".nintendoboy16

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]

[QUOTE="DRAGONPIECEZ"] I never said that the Wii didn't miss out on many games. In fact the reason I bought a PS3 and 360 was because at the start of the gen I just had a Wii and I couldn't live off of it alone.. But fact remains that many of those games that I played on my PS3/360, I could also play on my PC with better specs, more options, and cheaper prices to boot. (Also though very few, Nintendo had some pretty nice, niche 3rd party exclusives themselves that the HD twins didn't see. The trend will follow on Wii U.) So the PC covers my 3rd party options, done deal. Now when it comes to first party, I believe that Nintendo stomps the competition time and time again. That's my reasoning for my Nintendo/PC combo this gen. Like I said before, I'm most likely going to get a PS4 down the road as well, and based on others tastes I can see them choosing PS4 over Wii U if they enjoy Sony's exclusives over Nintendos. I however, do not believe that Sonys exclusives can touch Nintys. And it's also a fact that many of the HD twins' games overlap that are also featured on PC. So yes I do believe that I will get more variety with Nintendo/PC this gen. You seem to have a problem with my opinion, deal with it.DRAGONPIECEZ

I want Nintendo to pay for what the Wii did to gaming.Bread_or_Decide

See I don't get that.  I thoroughly enjoyed my Wii and the games I have for it.  I thought the big first party franchises were some of, if not the best in the entire series.  And you know what, for games like Metroid, Mario Galaxy and Zelda, motion controls were phenonmenal and I'm going to have a hard time going back. That's the truth for me.

As per the topic, anyone wanting the longest member of the console race to fail and leave probably wasn't old enough to play a Super Nintendo yet they request that Nintendo "return to that era."  Nintendo makes great games.  Period.  Their console is relatively expensive but that's because you get the gamepad which I'm sure is not cheap.

It's just idiotic that people would want Nintendo to fail.  So what? You can play a butchered version of Super Mario NES on your ipad?  No thanks.

[QUOTE="DRAGONPIECEZ"][QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]He did that to me maybe over a year ago just because I like two Wii versions of certain games.nintendoboy16

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="DRAGONPIECEZ"] True, I'm pretty content with the current gen right now. I still have a bunch of back logged PS3 games and some Wii ones to finish and am in no hurry upgrading my PC. If there's one thing you can safely bet on though, it's that Wii U will have top-tier quality first party titles. So a Wii U is a must buy if you're a Nintendo fan (if not now then sometime down the road).DRAGONPIECEZ

Yeah, I'm certainly gonna pick one up. As of now I wanna play NSMBU, Nintendo Land and Monster Hunter Tri Ultimate so by next year when I'm more prepared to get one I know they'll be enough for me to drop a few bones. Still have soooo many Wii and PS3 games to  play in the mean time too.

I put roughly 400 hours into Tri. I'm ready for more, unfortunately, money is tight with school (10k tutition is nuts) so I have to wait another year but I'm mighty pumped.

I don't really agree with the idea that MS and Sony would just say screw it to tech since its worked so well with them even with what the Wii did. On the other hand, you can want games to evolve and not desire to have your own personal computer to do it either.

How's Anniversary on the Wii?

No, i don't want any weak system sold at a premium that relies on a useless controller gimmick to succeed, nevaaaar.silversix_

It's sold at a loss and it's (for the next 6 months at least) the most powerful console on the market. And the controller is fantastic, have you even used it?

They should announce a new console on par or better than the 720 and PS4 fast or at E3. The Wii U doesn't have any wow factor for me and I don't think it'll ever do.gago-gago

It's like you want them to go full Sega.

I already got it on the PS2, but I wouldn't mind double dipping. The new minigames are a big draw.

I want it to fail.

Nintendo's got next gen on lock down so yes :cool:

[QUOTE="nintendoboy16"]

Why would anyone want it to fail?

jimkabrhel

I've never gotten a good answer from the fanboys to this question.

I really like Nintendo and I dont want them to go 3rd party bcuz of their handhelds. The Wii U will surely get some great games but I just dont see the point of a last gen console releasing right before the PS4 & 720 which will be a leap above the Wii U. Will the industry hurt if the Wii U fails? I dont think so.Kaszilla

No, i don't want any weak system sold at a premium that relies on a useless controller gimmick to succeed, nevaaaar.silversix_

no, nintendo needs to realize that they should stop giving us outdated shitty hardware, because they are to cheap and afraid to make a proper console without some useless gimmick

the more succeeding consoles we have, the better off we all are. this means pricing would be more competitive and games would be more diverse.

How so? When the PS1 and PS2 pwned the crap out of the rest of the competitors the games were brilliant.

You're both wrong and just using your personal experience to define everyone. You both should just let people speak for themselves instead of discrediting everyone who is on the opposite side of what you think is right. This is about whether "you" want the WiiU to succeed, not anything else.

[QUOTE="AD216"] But the Wii U's pricing is ridiculously high considering the console's poor hardware.

[QUOTE="ActicEdge"]

[QUOTE="fadersdream"] I feel the opposite. Those defending Nintendo probably weren't around in the beginning, after NES and SNES; N64 having $80 dollar cartridges, no third party, weird controller. GC strange library, weird controller no third party. Wii same problems but escalated... WiiU same problems but escalated and full of empty promises. I've scratched my head with Nintendo for too long. I've been around since the very beginning and realize that Nintendo is totally Moribund (look it up) at this point.fadersdream

Because most people on here suck. 

"Of course not. There's something about Nintendo that just makes me angry. The E-rated games, the useless contoller that serves no purpose whatsoever.
