... FUCK. Damn you, Nintendo, I was going to boycott this console! Why do you have to put the only good fighting game I know onto it?! Okay... just remain calm... they don't have many more Nintendo characters left to insert into SSB, so I'll eventually be able to continue boycotting Nintendo... Right?Palademon said:
What would nintendo need to have to get you buy a Wii U?

What will you gain from boycotting a console that has been said to have no draconian DRM, new innovations and fucking Smash Bros! If you are going to boycott something, at least do it to the companies that have actually done something other than appeal to those dirty casuals.The Crazy Legs said:
Never said I bought a Kinect or Move, and never said I was buying the other Next-Gen consoles, either. The title of this thread is specifically about the Wii U.ToastiestZombie said:
I did use it. Except, back then, it was called a Game Gear and it was uncomfortable even then, before my old-man hands had been stricken with RSI.
Edit: Okay, that's not entirely fair. The Game Gear wasn't larger than a standard CD Rom drive.
No, "innovation" does not equal gimmicks. Shoehorning "innovations" in where they don't need to be or serve any purpose (Castlevania: Dawn of Sorrow), poorly implementing innovations (Metroid Prime: Hunters, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass), and forcing them onto the player with no alternative support for standard controls (Both Wii Zelda games) is what makes it a gimmick.
Umm... so what? Do you have to be online to play on the Xbox360 or the PS3? No. Can you buy used games for both of them. Yes. What's your point here?
Do you honestly think that if the stupid rumors about blocking used games are true for MS and Sony, that Nintendo, who have been crazy hardcore about access control since they were the only game in town (no pun intended), would be far behind? They have ALWAYS made DRM-infested consoles. You must be too young to remember when they tried to sue Galoob for reverse-engineering their DRM to make the Game Genie.
Until they pull a Sony and force an update on a legitimately purchased game to break your mod and/or brick your console. I don't think swiss-cheese software is a selling point here. It's not like Android where the OS is set up to encourage modification.
I'm glad you're happy with them. I don't care at all about online support, so improving its online is a non-starter for me. They have far greater design and philosophy issues to address if they want any more of my money.
Wait... What? No... No, please no... Not the 3DS... Please, god, not the 3DS. Why are you doing this to me, Nintendo?! (to quote Freeman's Mind) I DON'T WANNA BE A SCHIZOPHRENIC!ToastiestZombie said:
I have read that the Wii is weaker than the 360/PS3. If so it will be another gen like this one where Nintendo is lagging behind.
I can also say that after Skyward Sword, my loyalty to Zelda has taken a hit and after Super Mario 3D Land, I no longer look forward to the next Mario game and that after that last 2 entries of Mario Kart, I won't buy another one, the games are too unbalanced now.
So Nintendo really has nothing to offer.

Moar JRPGs and to be honest out of all the next gen consoles seen so far taking rumours as truth the Wii U is the one I might actually get if any.
Because! I despise what Nintendo's doing! I hate it so, so much! Motion controls?! Touch screens?! THE FUCKING WII FIT?! Why?! WHY?! WHYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY!?!?!?!?ToastiestZombie said:
Ugh... But, you know what, I'm probably still going to buy it. As long as I can kick people's asses as Link with absolutely no context behind why I'm doing it (besides "they aren't you, stab them"), I will continue buying Nintendo games. ... All I wonder is, "What cameo appearances can we be expecting from non-Nintendo characters." Also, I don't care about the console itself. As long as I can use my old Gamecube remote or the game's still good, I'm game. If not...
... Then Nintendo might never live to see Episode 3. You know exactly which episode 3.
Not sure if you're joking or seriousThe Crazy Legs said:
But anyway, touch screens aren't that bad really. Just think about it, in Zelda you had to always go into a menu, pick what you wanted to put on 4 hotkeys then if you wanted to change it you had to go back into another menu. With this you can just have the menu on you at all times, with it not breaking the action at all. Also, it's much more than just a simple touch screen, have you seen the fact that you can play the whole bloody game on the screen! So you can play it even when your annoying family are in the room!Knowing Nintendo they will have support for a crapton of controllers, probably even gamecube.
For me it's simple: release it. I have NEVER bought a Nintendo console that didn't end up being my favorite console for the generation, so I doubt the Wii-U will be any different.
... Good. I this pleases me.ToastiestZombie said:Not sure if you're joking or seriousThe Crazy Legs said:

good third party support, the fact that almost everything worth playing on the wii came from Nintendo was not good for anyone, and I hope they don't make the same mistake again.
Also earthbound wouldn't hurt, you know, if Nintendo want us all to love them again.

For me they would need these things.telocaster said:
No mario or metriod or zelda games.
High Definition Graphics
and the ability to play all the games on my computer.
(I personally hate consoles but I dont hate console players I get why most people dont want to fork over 2-3 grand for a decent gaming computer.)
I bought the wii. It's stayed in a storage bin once I got tired of playing brawl. I really dont see myself buying a Wii U and im a nintendo fan. I think ill buy the *new* zelda and maybe metriod after they go down in price.
I mean they have had ZERO third party support on the games I want to play. No mass effect on the wii, No witcher 2 on the wii, no deus EX, no skyrim, no arkam city, no portal 2, no alpha protocol, no sonic generations. I would be taking a big leap of faith to assume wii u will be any different
Also nintendo dropped the ball on pokemon. They didnt want to take the risk of a high profile mmo and now WoW is stealing the idea from up under them.
But you asked what they would have to do right?
Well maybe if they streamlined the controller, made it be an Ipad in addition to gaming and offered it for half the price of an Ipad

What's this about Nintendo not having draconian DRM? Let me remind you how they handle digital games. They are locked to the console they were donwloaded on. They can't be shared with another Wii/DS/3DS (like PS3/PSP/Vita) and they can't be transferred (360, once per year and PS3/PSP/Vita).
I am not saying that saying Sony and Microsoft don't use draconian DRM, just that it's not as bad as Nintendo. They all do locked save files, what the fuck is that shit all about?
