No, why would the Wii U be the reason why I don?t get the NX? We have nothing but rumors on the NX, so we have no information whatsoever. It?ll be the NX as to why I do, or do not, get the NX.

It's about whether you trust Nintendo to support the NX based on their performance with past consoles.InsanityRequiem said:
I'm still too busy with my Wii U to care about the NX coming out.
Wind Waker HD
Twilight Princess HD
Hyrule Warriors
Smash Bros. U
Mario Kart 8
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate
Xenoblade Chronicles X
Pokken Tournament
Tropical Freeze
It's been worth it for me. I don't need a huge library, just some games I enjoy. And Zelda U/NX is still to come.

Issue with those is that only pokken Xenoblade and tropical freeze are exclusive to it, as someone with a wii and a 3ds I have little reason to care lol.Foolery said:
I voted yes. Although I enjoyed Bayonetta, MK8, Splatoon and Wonderful 101, I don't feel like I've gotten enough out of it's short life cycle to warrant adopting Nintendo again.
I would like to caveat that by saying its raw power vs PS4/XBOne was never an issue for for me.

the ps4 and xbone each come with their respective controller, and the consoles themselves are much better than the wiiU, both in what they offer software wise and hardware wise (this is not including the virtual game markets, I feel like that's way too subjective and I lack the knowledge on all 3 systems to make an accurate statement on that). yes they are more expensive, but you are getting what you pay for, so the wiiU's lower price really doesn't do anything for me since it includes that god awful tablet controller. You may have a better source, but if you buy the tablet seperately (incredibly hard to do right now as is), it retails for 112 bucks. I'm not sure which part of that is MSRP, but it's still a pretty big chunk of useless cash to require you to spend.Kibeth41 said:
I remember the kinect being in the required xbone bundle, and I said the same thing back then, so I'm being consistent in that regard.
Two screen setups might be common for pc users, most people have an old screen or one they got on clearance for a second monitor to use as an itunes/netflix/pandora screen, but when they are actually playing games? I *highly* doubt that, unless you can find me a source that says that "alot" of pc gamers use both screens while gaming, I'm going to call shenanigans on that.
the closest I've come to getting a nintendo platform recently was the Nintendo 2DS, but due to the lack of a clamshell design, I just couldn't justify hauling that big ass block around since it couldn't comfortably fit in a pocket...otherwise that took the gimmick out of the system and made it cheaper, hence me being interested in it.
Well you're not exactly wrong, but Smash U also has exclusive maps, and 8 player smash. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has no online play on 3DS, and Mario Kart 8 is pretty much Mario Kart Wii/7. Also, Hyrule Warriors might as well be New 3DS exclusive, as it chugs on the original 3DS. Never owned a Wii, I did have a Gamecube, with both TP and WW. The remasters are pretty nice, and the inventory makes good use of the gamepad. I own a 3DS as well, for Pokemon, Zelda OOT/MM, and JRPGs. But hey, different strokes for different folks. The 3DS is definitely has the better library compared to the Wii U.Dreiko said:
I have like... 4-5 wiiu games? It's a pretty lean console but I do appreciate that it's kept couch multiplayer alive. My girlfriend plays videogames so we're constantly looking for nice lighthearted couch co-op games which are EXTREMELY rare nowadays, especially in the AAA market, so I feel like I've gotten my money out of it.
To be honest I think it's leaps and bounds better than the Wii. But to be fair the Wii probably has a bigger library of would-be decent games. They're just almost all ruined by shitty motion controls that don't work.
Which brings me to my next point, my level of interest in the NX hinges pretty heavily on the controller. I like nintendo for their games. Their hardware, not so much.

Not exactly a "Dreamcast" life cycle. That was done after its first year, lingered around for another year and died. The Wii U came out in 2012. If NX comes out in 2017, that's 5 years. Very normal. PS3 and 360 were NOT normal. They lived so long, it is argued, because the economy was such that a new $600 console in 2010-2011 would have failed. I think the test will be, will the Wii U linger on, or are there more Splatoons waiting for us?Mr Ink 5000 said:
You're the one who quoted me, so if you don't care, then why reply/quote me at all?Kibeth41 said:
you seem to misunderstand what I was getting at with the wiiU. they aren't selling it at a loss, so the wiiU controller is extra money for something I wouldn't be using, which is a negative against its price point, just like how you mentioned the kinect being bundled with the xbone, that was a negative against the xbone.
Yes it is common to *have*, but is it common to use *both* screens for gaming while gaming? That's my initial call to bullshit there, I have two screens myself, and so do many other pc users I know (most of them have a tv they use as a second monitor), but we don't actively use them while gaming...not a single one of them does.
that's common for most industries that sit at a computer these days? my new office I'm getting here in a few weeks is going to have 4 screens...so I'm not sure why that was thrown in there? The thread (and my original post you quoted) weren't discussing multi-screen usage outside of a gaming setting? It might've had some initial impact into saying "look, these people use 2 screens a day all the time for functionality, lets try this in a console." But beyond that, I'm not sure what you're getting at here with this point.
okay you clearly don't know how online discussions work..you're the one that made the claim, so if you want it to be a "fact", then go find a source that backs it up. I openly said that if you have a source that says that, then I'll be fine with it.
and if you don't really care if I believe you or not, then why quote me and discuss this in the first place? I never said dual screens were a gimmick, it's simply something I didn't want to have to pay for and have it be mandatory for the console, I could've given two shits if it was something extra you could buy separate from the console, and dev's *could* program for it to be used, kinda like how VR is being implemented now.
They kinda feel that way. You're only ever looking at one screen at a time anyway.Kibeth41 said:
If it had done more with that 5 years, I wouldn't be so turned off to more Nintendo.Gorfias said:
Do you think there are more Splatoons waiting for us? I feel its unlikely
Yeah. I got a Wii U, and a 3DS and honestly they're not really worth the price. Nintendo re-hashes their games more then fucking Call of Duty.
It's unfortunate, really. Their games have gone from being some of the best to... just another mario. Sure, it's a okay game, but nothing remarkable or interesting to play. At least Call of Duty tries every year to do both single player and online multiplayer and keep it interesting if not still familiar. More then I can say about a lot of Nintendo games.
There's just more to do on every other system, and that's unfortunate. I prefer systems that can give me a multitude of experiences for years on end, and honestly the Wii U just doesn't have anything to offer because Nintendo dropped it so hard and wouldn't support it properly. And I have no faith that they'll do the same with the NX.
