Wii U is dead (RIP), so who should Replace Nintendo?

Theres a wealth of contenders to replace Nintendo.

 So what say you?

Apple, Google, or Valve.

Nintendo isn't making it past this decade so I think one of these companies will step in.

System Wars is f*cking stupid. I never thought I'd see something that annoyed me more than the Vita doom and gloom, but man, this one escalates it to a new level entirely.charizard1605

Welcome to SW charziard. Anyway I agree with you. I laughing really hard at all the idiots in SW right now.

Maybe if Nintendo did more than make gimmicks, shitty gimped hardware and 1980s rehashes they wouldn't be dying.

Bunny facepalm.

The problem with the WiiU is the marketing and the lack of games. Once those tow problems are fixed the console's hardware sales will pick up.

Hopefully Nintendo learns a big lesson from this. Pump out recent hardware and stop using old shit. People catch on after a while.. I really do hope they fail with this console. Such a shame.. the gamecube was such a great console.

- I personally am going to get ps4 and stick to my pc for most gaming.

Pump out recent hardware and stop using old shit.

Since when was power related to age? Besides USB2.0, what old components are in the Wii-U?

He;s talking about the CPU and the GPU(even though it's pretty modern).

The CPU and it's 1gb of ram.Quad4Life

How is the CPU old? How is the 2GB of DDR3 old?

1gb of ram is not terrible. Most games can be built with 1gb of ram.The PS4 will only use about 45%-60% of it's 8GB GDDR5 ram for games(I.e for the CPU and GPU).

Lame ass excuses from butthurt sheep.

-Just wait for E3

Nintendo cancelled E3.

-3rd parties are keeping Wiiu games a secret

3rd parties cancelled all Wiiu games.

-Just wait for the 1980s rehashes

That didn't help Gamecube.

-The economy is bad

That doesn't stop people from buying ipads and PS3s and 360s every day at high prices.

Did i miss anything?

Good, I hope the situation worsens so nintendo gets their act together on the console side.

Don't judge a book by it's cover.

By stupidity, I mean early "doom and gloom" bandwagon jumping just because Nintendo systems are struggling. Nintendo is a company the internet/hardcore gaming community deliberately LOVES to underestimate.

Consumers are starting to get education on what's weak, and they know the Wii U is weak.Quad4Life

Proof? The only education the masses get are advertisements.

I was mostly talking about Europe especially countries like spain

 and Italy

And greece to

The US still has a ton of debt(that is kinda uncontrollable) and a high unemployment rate(which is going down really slowly).Countries like Canada are doing good economically.

Let's go, Samsung!

It's not running in 60 fps. Which is a big issue for me.The_Lipscomb

That depends entirely on the game/software though.

Listen.. I'm not a Nintendo hater.. I loved the gamecube.. They just are lagging now.. Though Microsoft seems to be headed that way too. Sony and pc gaming seems to be where it's at now.The_Lipscomb

It's not that people are haters. It's the constant claims of doom and gloom before Nintendo and everyone else gets a chance to prove themselves. The system is going into just its sixth month. Fixing these things is not something that can be done overnight.

Did you ever read the story about the Boy Who Cried Wolf?

WiiU is not the only thing Nintendo has. The 3DS is doing fantastic.

I'll admit we should give it a chance.. though.. Nintendo really is shoving out older hardware.. I mean you don't even have to know your hardware to see a difference. It's more disappointing than anything.. because they could really be great. Instead, they keep trying to take an easy way out.. The wii to me was a downgrade.. and since it sold well.. they are trying it again with the Wii U.. and now it's back firing.. I just hope they learn from this.. and get it together.. Game on a good pc.. and you'll see it.. it's not acceptable to purchase at its price point right now.The_Lipscomb

Assumed hardware power =/= age. Hell the GPU has non-insiders stumped on its capabilities. Some even say it has features from AMD's Tahiti core. Obviously it's not going to match the 7850-esque chip the PS4 has, and 2GB vs 8GB is quite a difference, but that doesn't mean it can't put up a fight. We haven't even seen what the first party studios have done with it yet. The wireless tech for the Gamepad was only finalized months before it went into production, which is why devs had wired pads for so long. The discs are also 25GB discs (possibly similar to blu-ray,) and it all runs on extremely low power usage. If anything, it's just weaker.

They're not taking the easy way out. They're going at their own stride on their own path.

To be fair, the WiiU's biggest problem is the uncertainty of what Sony and MS will do.  The WiiU is not really like the Wii at all in the sense that its novelty sells itself to casuals.  This means that the core gamer is on the fence until E3 this year.  Not having a Zelda, Metroid or full-blown nextgen Mario isn't helping things, either.

Personally, hearing the new Mario game compared to Super Mario World as well as some of the games coming to the online store is enough to make me want to get one eventually..  But their current library of games does not pull me off the fence to grab one now, and I'm pretty open-minded about grabbing new game consoles.  With the economy being as it is, a lot of potential gamers are probably preparing their bodies for a bomb later this year with either the Playstation's pricepoint or the Xbox.

The weirdest part about it is that, despite how long the current generation has gone, the WiiU simply launched too early.  And by that, I mean, Nintendo should have come out of the gates with a ton of games if they wanted this thing to have legs.  Instead, they put their muscle behind the 3DS and it is costing them.

Wii U is the best console called Wii U ever.

The irony here is that sony is more likely to die first.  There's a possibilit that this could be the last sony console.

Or did everyone suddenly forget about sony's dire financial troubles?
