Nintendo Shares Tumble Following Wii U Reveal

[coolkirb]

Meh it will all turn out fine in the end i have high hopes for this new system

 

[I forgot]

I`m honestly quite surprised no one`s brought this up yet but if the controller is projecting your inventory or something important that means you`ll either have to have amazing peripheral vision, hold the controller out in front of your face, or constantly look up and down.

Unless that bit about "WiiFeel" is true, developers should NOT have you switch between an inventory in real time at a fast pace. Otherwise, I don't see what's so hard about pausing the game, looking down and selecting your shit.

You're entirely right. I think for some things, where the information is useful but you don't need to access it often (like an inventory) this will be fine. However I bet plenty of games will display the game map down there and make navigating a tremendous pain.

Given how often people complain about the Wii's motion controls being poorly handled I think we can look forward to plenty of complaints relating to this feature.

Based on expectations:
The 3DS failed
The WiiU failed

Nintendo seems to be in a downward spiral here.

The 3DS Didn't fail, it just didn't sell as fast as it was suppose to, but with the upcoming Legend of Zelda, Mario Kart, Super Mario, Star Fox, and others, it's going to start selling like hot cakes.

As for the WiiU, I think people are worried because there was no real footage of WiiU Games, and anything at E3 was just demo stuff. I think Nintendo would have done better if it kept it's mouth shut for a year, when stuff could actually be seen for it. Plus, there is the fact that there all the Hardcore people who never really liked Nintendo. Not saying it's bad, I'm just saying this is why Nintendo's Stock is declining.

Have a little faith in Nintendo.

I know myself, and every gamer I've spoken to (that I know personally) laughed when we saw it.

I just don't see what this brings to the table really...
I don't think casual family gamers are going to get particularly exited about this. It looks like a big Gameboy to them.
As stated above, Nintendo abandoned hardcore gamers, and we're already invested in our other consoles. Too little to late.
Who is this exactly marketed at then?

Unless we get a really cheap price point for this, I don't see it taking off.

Well it is a new console and it's hardware capacity is way better than both the ps3 and xbox 360. : p still for me it will depend on what games get made for it.

The 3DS failed to live up to the expectations
The WiiU failed to live up to the expectations


There, I fixed it. But then again, maybe people were expecting too much or didn't really know what to expect.

Failed to live up to expectations so far

Did Nintendo release the specs on the WiiU, I was under the impression they hadn't released the tech specs yet.

 

[MrSnugglesworth]

Once again, this just proves the need to delete the word "gimmick" from the English language.

I think it proves we need to delete cliche, because it's seriously becoming a cliche to call things cliched.

OT: Eh.


Bout all I can say about the WiiU.

Will it have Sly Cooper 4?

If yes... will it have it before it comes out on PS3?

If yes... GETTING IT!

If no... (The probably option) SCREW THAT.

 

[PinkiePyro]

arrg why are you all putting it down already!?

yes it does have a idoitc name
no it will probly cater to hardcore gamers (or at least those of us who hate all those dumb fps type games the others shit out constantly)

and why the hell are you all saying ipad like!?

if anything its like the wii and the dsi had a glorious god baby

 

[Logic 0]

Time to buy up nintendo shares and make a profit.

 

[AbstractStream]

Wow. I was not expecting this. Didn't think shareholders would react so badly :O

Time to buy up nintendo shares and make a profit.

Damn, I got beat to the punch.

 

[starwarsgeek]

Once again, this just proves the need to delete the word "gimmick" from the English language.

But without useless buzz-words, hatedoms will actually have to think before bashing something!

 

[bismarck55]

I'm seriously considering throwing my (relatively meager) savings at Nintendo stocks. I have a lot of faith in Nintendo's post-Gamecube "blue ocean" strategy. The only real reason the 3ds is off to a slow start is the pathetic launch lineup delivered by those 3rd party publishers everybody bitches and whines about whenever people start discussing Nintendo.

 

[gyroscopeboy]

Ow, that's gotta hurt.

The WiiU (Weeueeueueeuueeuu [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0JElywbkSbY])

Chosen One!
P.S this Meebo thing sucks..i can't select large blocks of text and delete..as in the rest of your quote, i had to sit there with my finger in the "delete" key for 5 mins!

 

[DAJ_]

It kind of looks like a GBA swallowed a PSP and then had sex with a baby monitor.

I for one, like the new Nintendo Spaghetti.


Obviously these investors were just riding the popularity of the Wii to begin with. Lets hope they end up kicking themselves for dropping out early then should things work out in Nintendo's favor again.

 

[Helios_(DEL)]

Wtf this new console seems good i dont get what all the negitivity is all about? perhaps nintendo should quick fix the graphics to surpass the ps3 and xbox 360 and try to forcast there respective next gen consoles to impress i guess, but that said nintendo have pritty much answered the nintendo fans outcry of more.
So seriously wtf.

 

[Swifteye]

I'm just going to put it simply. I don't see the appeal. People always use the virtual boy as an example of a failed idea by them but honestly it's kinda dated. they've made many other failures, the add ons to the gamecube, the gamecube gameboy advance game link (and offline gaming in general I mean who here has ever found a random non pokemon player to do things with?), The e reader, that gameboy mini thing. Those were all nifty gadgets and the like but come on. they were all pretty terrible and useless in hindsight. this seems like another little gizmo that you might enjoy if you buy it but the collective world will just scratch there head and throw it over there shoulders.

that's why the stock is failing. There's no real market. it could bounce up but there'd have to be a reason it's not going to do it simply because it has done it in the past.

 

[DeltaWolfson]

All I have to say is hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahah that is the most stupid name for a system ever.

 

[Balobo]

It's understandable. No one's excited for it.

With the move from the Gamecube to the Wii, Nintendo tapped into a vast previously dormant market, the casual gamer. They appealed to millions upon millions of family gamers who enjoyed the easy going motion controls that did way with the complicated controllers and keyboards and introduced a variety of family friendly games.

What they're trying to do with the Wii U makes absolutely no fucking sense. Instead of trying to further enrich their core casual gamer audience, they're trying to grab the attention of hardcore gamers.

It's not going to work. We're already invested in our Xbox 360s and PS3s and PCs. The Wii U, from what we've seen, is basically the processing power of a current gen console with a touch screen built into its controller. It's a silly gimmick that tries to appeal to hardcore gamers instead of casual gamers.

A fatal, fatal mistake by Nintendo. They're trying to tread on ground they're already defeated on instead of going after the casual market which they've dominated for so long.

Whether or not it pays off, we'll see.

Hardcore gamers were at one point the core audience of Nintendo. They're trying to bring that back.

Exactly my point! Nintendo left their hardcore fanbase waving in the wind after they went for a more casual audience with the Wii. Since then, the hardcore audience has invested itself into the other consoles and PC gaming. The Wii is trying to win back an audience that's found new interests else where.

If you were smart, you bought a Wii for the awesome first party games. If you are smart next gen, you will buy a Wii U for the same reason (and probably more). With graphics at least 4-5 times more powerful than the 360/PS3 (at least according the rumors about it having an R700 chip) and games that will benefit from that, it will be a worthy step forward. Of course, this is all just speculation. Everything here is just speculation, including the nonsense people are spouting about it being barely more powerful than the 360. It also looks like Microsoft will be focusing on Kinect for the next few years... so if people REALLY want to stay with them then I guess that's their choice.

It's understandable. No one's excited for it.

This. Nintendo reveals successor to the Wii... It's a portable device. Capable of playing games at better graphics than the Wii. You know, the 3DS... I mean DS... I mean WiiU.

Seriously. They have three hand held devices now. That cannot support each other's games. This is dumb.

Way to know what you're talking about. This is a home console that has the ability to stream games to the controller. It's not a portable device, you can't move this too far away from the system.
