The Wii-U is less like the Dreamcast and more like....

The N64.  Take graphics out of the equation for a second, and look at everything else.  Weird controller (does not mean a bad controller),  un-interested 3rd parties, very limited launch,  a long dry spell of no games, pushing for first party more than anything else, a separate proprietary disc format, huge focus on 4 player games and same room play, the list can go on and on.  

When the 64 launched, it started off strong but remember it literally launched with only two games.  It took several months before it started getting great games (like the Wii-U), and Nintendo even promised for more upcoming games...Thoughts?  

Agreed. The Wii-U is the worst system of all time. Equalled only by the N64, the GameCube, and the Wii. The Sheep Have Been Owned.

At least the N64 had a proper Mario game for the launch,the WiiU doesnt even have that.

Aside from Rare games the Wii U will be much better.OreoMilkshake

I'd personally have to wait to make that call.

I'd rather the Wii U be like the GC (in terms of game library anyways).

GC >>>>>>> N64

If the Wii U can do Nintendo 64 numbers 32.5 million consoles sold then it will be O.K. The 6th home console hasn't set the world on fire. Nintendo will be able to survive. The terrible 3rd party support is the same as N64.

I think the Wii U is more like the Wii U, and trying to fit every new game and console into a box with something else that came before it is a waste of mental energy and leads to some very flawed thinking.

You guys complain about droughts and lack of third party. N64 had it pretty bad.

Here's where we disagree. The N64 controller was utter crap.

Retro has the potential to be great, but you have to remember Rare was pumping out AAA titles by the dozen during the 90s and early 00s. Retro has a lot to live up to if it wants to be compared to RARE. I want to see some new IPs from Retro. Their cancelled Raven Blade game looked interesting, hopefully they deliver something like that on the Wii U.

At least it beats the Jaguar, 3DO or Sega 32X. actually it has less games than those systems so far, So at the moment it is techically one of the worst systems ever made. Hope Nintendo brings it at E3. Hardcore First Party new IP's and Zelda and Mario.

Wii U will be fine. It most likely will be like the N64 with a little bit of Wii mixed in.

The Wii U turning out to be like the N64 sounds like a good thing to me.

Rareware is the only developer I consider as "God-tier"

[QUOTE="SonyNintendoFan"]That's the dumbest comparison ever. If the wii u had an amazing 3D mario like the N64 had at launch, it would be selling in the millions.[/QUOTE

lol you do know 2D mario on wii out sold both 3d mario by 2-1.

People are already trying to tear down LCU when there's nothing to tear down. People are just poor and jelly on this board.

I think a good comparison to wiiu would be the 32X.

It was a pretty bad controller. 

I remember the last time I tried playing Goldeneye 007, It was so damn clunky. Which is a damn shame because I loved playing that game with friends/brothers back in the day.

Not that every game for the N64 would be this way. I'm sure I could play Ocarina of Time or Majora's Mask without much issue. but still, probably one of my least favorite controllers ever.

All these comparisions are terrible. 

Stop making them

Ur right because the Dreamcast was actually good. Wii u is a piece of sh1t like every other Nintendo console that came after SNES.

Don't bring the N64 into this, that was the last good Nintendo home console.

Until there are decent 1st party games on the Wii U it can't be compared to any of Nintendo's previous systems....So far the Wii U is Ninty's worst console...no games, gimicky control...graphicly inferior to its next gen counterparts...and overpriced.

It feels more like another Wii, i.e. last-gen hardware and "gimmick" controller, just that the masses aren't biting this time around...

I think it is more like the Jaguar. Bad start, no light in site, the same games we have played for 20 years. Jaguar hdd Doom, Tempest, and Aseroids. The Wii U will have Mario, Zelda, and Donkey Kong.

Jaguar was next-gen compared to SNES and Genesis, in hardware terms...

I think its still too early to draw those comparisons.
