• Nintendo: ‘Please buy a Wii U soon!’

[QUOTE]Shigeru Miyamoto thinks the Wii U will be turned around soon. He should, he works for Nintendo! He has repeatedly acknowledged in the past that delays of first party software like Wii Fit U, Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101 have played a big role in the Wii U not selling well globally. With Pikmin 3 coming out next month (In America, this month in other regions) the popular belief is that the Wii U will start selling better once a steady flow of good games arrives. Miyamoto said recently: [I]Yeah. After this there is Lego City Undercover and The Wonderful 101. We also have Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze and Mario Kart 8 further in the future. So please buy a Wii U soon! I’ve been waiting to see numbers catch up this summer. [/I] I don’t think Wii U sales will turn around all that much until October/November/December. Pikmin 3 could move it above 50k per month in the US again during August, heck maybe even close to 100k. I don’t think Wonderful 101 will help much either and September will probably be pretty bad for the system unless Wind Waker HD comes out on the first day of October. Hopefully things turn around soon for the system and maybe Pikmin 3 will surprise us all and prove to be a good system seller after all.[/QUOTE] [url]http://gimmegimmegames.com/2013/07/nintendo-please-buy-a-wii-u-soon/[/url] Japanese interview source [url]http://www.4gamer.net/games/168/G016837/20130712087/[/url] damn this is pathetic now, they just need to do what they did to bring back the 3DS from the slums
I don't see how it's in the slums, people are just waiting.
I'll buy one for Wind Waker HD
I'll buy one for a [b]new[/b] Zelda game and 3D Metroid
The same exact thing happened to the 3DS and now everyone has one.
[QUOTE=Mr. Tripp;41437081]The same exact thing happened to the 3DS and now everyone has one.[/QUOTE] No, everyone has one because it dropped $80 to a more reasonable price. If Nintendo REALLY wants to move Wii Us, then they'll have to do something similar, as it's already proven it works really, really well.
What the fuck is this article It reads like a GameFAQs message board post What the fuck is gimmegimmegames.com?
I already bought one Nintendo, calm down.
Maybe releasing with like 3 games wasn't a great idea
the wii u has only a few games for it, i honestly dont blame people for not buying it
I [I]might[/I] get a WiiU for Super Smash Bros. Unless they come up with some awesome new ideas for Mario, Zelda, and Metroid, SSB will be the only reason.
Everybody is just waiting for the games to come out, or for a specific game to come out. By this time next year it'll be a very viable console, just hold on until then Nintendo. You fucked up your first year, try again next time.
I mean i bought one just for monster hunter, and thats the only game out right now that i care about and the e-shop is trash. Once they put some classics on the e-shop and we see a Zelda shits gonna sell
There's a reason people are buying WiiU's, and that's for the WiiU specific games. I can't see myself buying one to play games that I could play on a PS4, for example.
New IP's would be nice, also a new Earthbound, Metroid, F-Zero, and Star-Fox would really help out your console.
[QUOTE=Zeke129;41437078]I'll buy one for a [b]new[/b] Zelda game and 3D Metroid[/QUOTE] they are making a new one it was almost unveiled at E3.

The sales blew up because of the killer releases like Animal Crossing, Monster Hunter, Fire Emblem and Luigis Mansion. The Wii U has barely any system sellers. I reckon everyone's going to swarm onto the Wii U when the new Smash Bros comes out.
I think WiiU may be the sega dreamcast of this generation came in far too early, EA won't support this (the same exact thing happened with the dreamcast), XBOX360 tier hardware (yeah they still make games for it but everyone is preset with the new shit on their mind) and came with a handful of games I don't like seeing nintendo like this but eh
[QUOTE=Lanopo;41437418]New IP's would be nice, also a new Earthbound, Metroid, F-Zero, and Star-Fox would really help out your console.[/QUOTE] Wonderful 101? It's even in the damn article.
I feel like they just need to advertise the thing. Wii U doesn't sound like a new console to most people. I don't even think I've seen a commercial for it on TV.
[QUOTE=Lanopo;41437418]New IP's would be nice, also a new Earthbound, Metroid, F-Zero, and Star-Fox would really help out your console.[/QUOTE] No new Earthbound will come out. The creator wanted it as a trilogy. A new Metroid might be somewhere soon. Miyamoto said that F-Zero is hard to be original with, so he doesn't want to make a new one (Ironic, right? :v:) Star Fox? Shot in the dark, honestly.
[QUOTE=Mr. Tripp;41437081]The same exact thing happened to the 3DS and [B]now everyone has one[/B].[/QUOTE] that's a bit of an overstatement I mean handheld game consoles are even as popular as they were before [editline]13th July 2013[/editline] [QUOTE=LegndNikko;41437696]No new Earthbound will come out.

Shot in the dark, honestly.[/QUOTE] I want a new [B]good[/B] Wario game, my favorite Nintendo game series. and also a good Fire Emblem for Wii U that has good animations. That Wii FE game's animations were sad compared to the GBA ones. But it seems Nintendo hates Wario
I don't care what games they release. I'm not buying one until the price drops at least $100.
Please make some new ips for christ sakes or at least try using one of the ones you haven't made another game for in ages. Also stop your anti consumer bullshit.
[QUOTE=Mr. Tripp;41437081]The same exact thing happened to the 3DS and now everyone has one.[/QUOTE] I've never actually even seen one...
Sorry Miyamato, my money is tied up with a gun and a low end gaming pc.
[QUOTE=Del91;41438036]I've never actually even seen one...[/QUOTE] the only one I've seen is mine handheld consoles just aren't the thing they were in the US now
I got a Wii U, I just barely play it because I'm waiting for the new Smash Bros./Zelda/Mario Kart.
'I hope you will do the honorable thing and buy a Wii U, If not I understand. A captain must go down with his ship' Nitendo is screwed, there are almost no third party who are making games for the Wii U and I dont see them making a new IP soon. Only thing that is keeping them somewhat afloat are their exclusives...
Hey guys, [B]Nintendo is currently working on a brand new IP.[/B] So yeah, they're actually doing that. Even has Miyamoto on board.
