The Wii U's slogan should be, "Coming in 2014"

So now that they had to push Donkey Kong's release date to 2014 the only exclusive game left for 2013 is another Mario Bros game (Lame).  Nintendo should have released their console this year for the price of $299.99 since all their great games are coming in 2014 anyways.  The year head start over the PS4/XB1 did not help the Wii U at all.  Nintendo really needs 2014 to be a big success for them, or else I think we can all agree that the Wii U will be canned by the end of 2015. 

Another delay?

At least they're consistent. Those launch window promises, almost all were broken. 

Except that Mario game looks fun as f*ck.

I'm pissed DK was delayed, but the new Mario game does look sick. I love me a damn good platformer.

If by coming 2014 you mean the end of the x1 and Ps4, then sure. That's exactly what's coming! :D

Rayman is out and it looks much better quality than the donkey kong game.

ps4 and x1 will also have all their best games in 2014 2015.... so why launch in 2013?

So this year, still left to release, Mario, Sonic, Watch Dogs, Assassins Creed, Batman, Call of Duty, in addition to Zelda, The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Blacklist, Rayman, New Super Luigi U, Minster Hunter, Lego City, New Super Mario Bros U, and Nintendo Land... And that's a shortage of games to you?charizard1605

It's nothing, because all those multiplats are the same as current gen systems that have been out 7+ years. And sadly, some (if not all) of those multiplats will actually be BETTER on the platforms that have been out 7+ years.

Even if I were to defy all logic and actually buy a Wii-U, I would purchase exactly NONE of those multiplats on the Wii-U. 

O yay, another Mario......Anyone catch CoD syndrome?

The Wii U should have been released in 2014 with a buttload of games. Also, they shouldn't have stopped making Wii games. That's just plain idiotic. Everything about Nintendo's console side of business has been a complete disaster since 2011. 

Lol, fine, you all want to talk about exclusives? Whereas I find that immensely hypocritical considering just how eager so many posters are to call the Wii U out when it DOESN'T get a multiplat, fine. The PS4 launches with Drive Club, Killzone: Shadow Fall, and Knack. The Xbox One has Forza Motorsport 5, Dead Rising 3, Killer Instinct, and Ryse: Son of Rome. These consoles are going up against the Wii U, which, if we ONLY do exclusives, will at that point have stockpiled New Super Mario Bros. U, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, New Super Luigi U, The Wonderful 101, Pikmin 3, Sonic: Lost World, The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, and Super Mario 3D World. Even as exclusives go, there is no competition- while the Wii U's best games are undoubtedly all slated for 2014, it's holiday 2013 lineup is no slouch either.charizard1605

Really?? Seems odd considering the very reason I'm not picking up any of the other next-gen consoles this year is solely because there are too many Wii U games for me to buy (plus Beyond Two Souls. Which is last-gen anyway). 2014 is just the beginning of the icing on the cake.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="emgesp"] PS4's launch lineup is still better than Wii U's launch lineup. Yes, all those games have been released on the Wii U, yet the Wii U is still selling like crap, so what's the excuse? If those games were truly great then surely people would be buying the Wii U like hotcakes right now, yet the sales tell a different story. emgesp

[QUOTE="emgesp"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] a) PS4 won't be competing with the Wii U launch lineup, it will be competing with the Wii U as it stands at that moment in time, and at that moment in time, the Wii U will have its launch lineup plus a year's worth of games b) You are equating sales with quality. Lawl. So Call of Duty is the best game ever, Transformers the best movie ever, Twilight the best books ever, and Justin Beiber the best musician ever? c) Wii U games nor the console haven't sold, but that comes down to several reasons- the Wii U was too pricey for the longest time. It went seven months without a major release. It had no E3 presence. Nintendo delayed several of its own games for the system. There has been, so far, little to no advertising for the console. All of which changes this holiday season.charizard1605

No no, you are quite confused.

I played and loved Zombi U from day one. A great exclusive game utilizing the system's unique next-gen controller features.

Also we've been playing Pikmin since august (9 months from launch) and The Wonderful 101 since two weeks ago (10 months since launch).

The Wii U launched in November of 2012. Not sure where this nebulous "2 years" you mentioned is coming from.

Criticizing delayed games. Now THIS is ironic coming from a playstation fan :lol:

[QUOTE="emgesp"][QUOTE="charizard1605"] Are you trying to be obtuse on purpose? The Wii U was too pricey relative to what it offered. What it offered was squat, not only in terms of the tech and hardware and software, but also in terms of games, which can almost every single time make up for those other shortcomings. The Wii U was a fundamentally poor value proposition- it was outdated hardware packaged with a controller that no one understood, sold with minimal games, and the ones that it did sell with ones that no one really wanted, and with schizophrenic brand identity problems to the point where most people legitimately thought it was just an accessory for an old, mostly unused console to begin with. And all of this sold for $350. The situation is much better now, and will be even better this Holiday season.charizard1605

How many Wii U consoles sold after TW101 and Pikmin 3 were released?    Exactly.   

[QUOTE="charizard1605"][QUOTE="emgesp"] Some solid points were made, but the Wii U won't get a huge boost in sales just because of Mario 3D World. Zelda Wii U bundle will probably be their best selling item this Holiday season, but how many of them will they actually sell by the end of 2013? emgesp

The one thing I can sort of agree with you in is that they did essentially blow their one year head start. As an owner of both games I can confirm with you that Pikmin and W101 are indeed killer apps, and they took just under a year to release.

[QUOTE="charizard1605"] I'm not sure what your point throughout this entire thread is. Are you trying to say the Wii U will struggle with sales? Well no duh, of course it will struggle with sales, I'd be astonished if it crossed 20 million.The PS4 will outsell it? Of course it will, God, I hope it does, because it'd have to pretty much not sell at all to sell less than the Wii U. So, what's your point? The console or those games not selling doesn't change the fact that those games are already here, or are coming; it doesn't change the fact that your initial 'everything in 2014' assertion was dead wrong.Jakandsigz

[QUOTE="Jakandsigz"][QUOTE="emgesp"] My main point was Nintendo wasted their year head start since all their big games won't hit until 2014 anyways. Where is that killer app Nintendo fans have been waiting for since 2012? Pikmin 3, TWF101, An HD remake of a Gamecube game? I'm not saying those games are bad, but they are not killer apps. emgesp
