Poll: Has the Wii U scared you off buying an NX console?

[Yoshi178]

I wouldn't say "scared off" since it's more like "given me less of a reason to be interested into buying one on the cheap". But that poll question is quite wordy, so I understand why that wasn't available.

In any event, the WiiU really didn't pique my interest until Bayonetta 2 was released, and I refuse to buy a console for one game. If the NX does backwards compatibility then I will be on board, but we know next to nothing about the new console.

So the new console might give me less of a shit about it once it's announced. Who knows.

Right now it's far too early for me to say whether or not the new Nintendo console will not get me to get the WiiU.

It's just under consideration.

you do realise the NX will probably be backwards compatible with Wii U don't you?

 

[Yoshi178]

the fuck you on about OP?

The Wii U is the best console this generation and is basically a fucking gamecube. small userbase, but so many freaking awesome games.

at least it actually has a unique library instead of just generic turd party shit and Remasters.

Dat RemasterStation 4...

Unique library? Well, maybe that's because no one is making 2D games quite like Nintendo. It is 1995 after all...oh wait...no it's not. Nintendo should be ashamed of the Wii U library. Try to imagine if Uncharted 4 was a 2D game because Naughty Dog didn't want to put the effort into a 3D Uncharted game?

Can't get a new Zelda game out this gen, maybe they should have made a 2D Zelda game for the Wii U.

Uncharted 4.
lol nice movie you got there.

Wow, you put alot of effort into that post.

Tell me, do you think it's acceptable to be putting out all these 2D games instead of 3D games in this gen? A launch Mario game that is 2D, a 2.5D sequel to 3D Land that plays more like the 2D side scrollers than the real 3D Mario games, Yoshi, Kirby and Donkey Kong all get 2D games. No new Zelda game at all.

Acceptable to you?

you move around in 3 Dimensions. Super Mario 3D world is a 3D game just like 3D land is. not 2.5D. you're just pissy because it's not a direct sequel to your beloved Galaxy 1&2 or Mario 64

3D World plays more like SMB3, SMW and the NSMB games complete with level maps, flagpoles, multiplayer from the New games and even timers. You call it 3D if you wish, I wouldn't. Remind me, does it have a user controlled camera? They literally made a sequel to a handheld game, just pure laziness on Nintendo's part.

Their biggest franchises are either absent or been made into lazy 2D/2.5D games. Oh and Super Mario Maker?? You know they are out of ideas to give players a game making tool. That Kirby game should have been on the 3DS, it was stylus controlled. Just pathetic.

What a waste this generation has been for all the consoles. No, I didn't want endless shooters last gen and I still don't.

because Uncharted 4, Halo 5, GTA 5, Ratchet and Clank 100, Ass Creed 10 000 and Call Duty 1 million totally aren't lazy....

That's the best you've got? "Yeah, Nintendo is lazy but so are others", you say!

Well, sadly Sony and Microsoft have third party support to prop up their consoles. Nintendo is mostly on their own and it's become obvious that they can't adequately do that any longer.

[Bob_McMillan]

Both yes and no. The WiiU made me lose faith in Nintendo, but the NX being "mobile" based scared me off the NX.

GG Nintendo.

I don't assume anything.

I could be, or it couldn't be. If I were to go off from their history of the Wii and the WiiU, it might be. Then again, there have been false claims about the design of the console, so I leave the assuming to others.

Holy COW! You rewrote your entire post:

you say lazy. i say trying something different instead of just Rehashing Super Mario 64...

and before you say they rehashed 3D Land, development on 3D world actually started before 3D Land and 3D Land was inspired by 3D World. not the other way around.

2D is not something different, it's something old. Rehashing Mario 64 is wrong, you say, but rehashing SMB 3 and SMW isn't??

It really doesn't matter if development began on 3D World before 3D Land, 3D Land came out first and 3D World is just a bigger version of it.

i didn't know Super Mario Bros 3 and Super Mario World were played in 3 Dimensions?

Talk about missing the point. To play your silly little game, once, Nintendo charges $60 for the creation kit and calls it a separate game while Bethesda provides it for free. Not saying Bethesda is perfect, far from it but Super Mario Maker is just Nintendo admitting "Hey, we got nothing else to release!"

We are talking about the Wii U, not the 3DS. I just think that in past generations, Nintendo would have been the last company to sell developer tools as a game.

BTW, Zelda U doesn't currently exist for Wii U owners to play. It was supposed to be out last year, then later this year and now has been pushed back to the NX release. It will likely be like Twilight Princess where the next gen version is a timed exclusive. TP came out first on the Wii and a few weeks later on Gamecube. It was a dirty trick then and it will be a dirty trick next year too, if they do that again.

 

[MysticSlayer]

The Wii already made me wary of Nintendo consoles. Yeah, it had Twilight Princess, Galaxy 1 & 2, Corruption, and Xenoblade Chronicles, but it was mostly disappointing. Then the WiiU released with no real promise in any of Nintendo's major franchises, and even now it's been mostly barren. Hyrule Warriors is the only non-remake Zelda game. Mario platformers were just WiiU versions of what is already on the 3DS. The only Metroid game for the console won't even really be a proper Metroid game. The Star Fox game has mixed reception. There's nothing from F-Zero, Custom Robo, or Fire Emblem (not counting Mirage Sessions).

Yeah, there was Pikmin 3, but I was never a huge fan of that series. There's also Splatoon, but I generally don't like multiplayer-only games.

So all that's really there is a new Smash Bros., Mario Kart 8, and Xenoblade Chronicles X. Maybe I'd find more once I get into it (I'd imagine I'd eventually get around to Hyrule Warriors and the Mario games), but I don't feel like investing a lot in a console that really only has three games selling itself.

That said, I'll keep my eyes on the NX. But just like with the WiiU, Nintendo will have to prove they're willing to deliver a console that I can get into, not have a new game every few years. As a long-time Nintendo fan, I'm hoping they pull it off. It's not like I find enjoyment from Nintendo's failures, but they're not exactly helping me to like them anymore either.

 

[Nazulu]

Not scared of it at all, though I don't care for the Wii U or it's library. However, Nintendo did disgust me enough with it's over-priced micro-transactions, purge of Rom-hacks, and deleting or monetizing of Youtube video's to make me see them as some greedy scum.

 

[Something Amyss]

Look . I dont even know what the NX is. Once i know I'll judge. Even then. Not until there are 10 visual stunning, fun games will i even consider buying one.

Crap. Beaten to it in the first post.

I will say that the NX has scared me off of buying Wii U, though.

 

[Liljumpman]

Not going to lie, I think Nintendo has been a piece of shit for a while. No new games in a very long time that I've enjoyed, and the ones that I might enjoy feeling too stale at this point. If I hadn't gotten the WiiU for free from a competition I almost certainly wouldn't have it. I do like that there is a packaged option so you don't have to shell out more money for a non gimmicky piece of shit controller. That's always good.


I honestly think Nintendo peaked with N64 and had a brief return to power with the Wii, but with the WiiU I feel like the Nintendo games that used to be worth buying a console for, aren't, anymore. I bought the Wii for Twilight Princess and Brawl. Even though Brawl was shit, there were HEAPS of other great games for the Wii. For the WiiU not so much.

Mario Kart, to me anyway is the worst iteration of all of them.
Haven't played enough smash to comment so maybe I'm just over it, but for me it's a step up from brawl but still not great.
I don't even remember if Skyward Sword was for Wii or WiiU, and I remember almost jackshit about it in general. Since I love Zelda games I'm going to attribute that to it not being very good.
Mario Maker is basically just taking something that people did for free anyway and making you pay full retail for it.


Honestly the only games I've thought were decent were Hyrule Warrior, which got old pretty quick and Splatoon, which I forgot I even had after playing it a few times.

I don't know what an NX is yet so I can't say for sure I won't buy it, but I will say I probably won't buy it if it just looks like more of the same. What would really help its case in my mind if it was as powerful as the other consoles. When you look at what Nintendo can do with the graphic capabilities it has you are kinda stunned with a few games, but imagine if it actually had comparable power to the others, it would look amazing. It just boggles the mind that every console generation when my aunt asks me what console to buy her kids, whenever I mention the Nintendo I have to use the phrase "It's not as powerful as the others, but".

Anyway, long post.

TLDR: We'll see, but probably not.

 

[Shoggoth2588]

The Wii U is the only current-gen console I own and I don't really regret that...unless you also count the 3DS as a current-gen console because I love that too. The main PS4 games I wanted to play were also released on the PS3 anyway and that seems to be a continuing trend. The Wii U could have been a LOT better (I'm downright shocked that they found a way to repeat Skyward Sword on the Wii U*).

Anyway, I'm almost definitely going to buy an NX. I may not get it on day one (though I would probably want to) but I'm going to get it because I want to play the next 3D Mario, I want to play the next new Legend of Zelda, I want to play the next Smash Brothers, I want to play the next Metroid, Donkey Kong and, whatever else Nintendo plan on doing in between. The only way I'm going to be able to do that is to buy their new consoles and I'm OK with that. Nintendo at least know that they make toys and games so despite control gimmicks and graphics that aren't pushing all of the limits, I can at least count on them putting out fun and/or engaging games a lot of the time. Games that run at 60FPS. And feature couch/local co-op.

I really want to like Skyward Sword but I hate, hate, HATE motion controls. I just want the option to use standardiazed controls and I bring up Skyward Sword in reference to Star Fox Zero which forces motion controls in a game series that really doesn't need them. It's different sure and it's satisfying once you get it down but this comes back to the "it gets better later" argument. If I have to spend 2, 4, 6 or more hours to master your games controls that's going to be something I use against your game and its overall fun-factor. If I could play Star Fox Zero with the Pro Controller in single player...I would still have issues with the camera angles and lack of a radar but at least I would have mastered the controls in seconds rather than game-play sessions.

I will say that the NX has scared me off of buying Wii U, though.

If I didn't already own a Wii U, I'd be in this same situation.

All threads like these do is remind me of the WiiU games I need to go pick up at some point. Damn you Nintendo and your lack of a second-hand game market!

That said, I don't think Nintendo's had a loser of a console yet, as long as you don't count the VB as a console. Not quality wise any way. It's funny seeing people wax nostalgically about things like the GameCube and N64 when these exact complaints were used about those consoles years back.

No, but then I was never interested in the Wii nor the Wii U to begin with. There were only ever a couple of niche games that I would have been interested in on either system, but not enough to buy one, and the one game that would have caused me to get a Wii U(that game being Rayman Legends) went multi-platform so I had no reason to get one. Unless Nintendo finally manages to make a game that I really feel the need to play I don't think I'll ever get one of their consoles.

It has made me a little hesitate, to be honest. I'll have to wait until I see a sizeable and worthy library first.

The Wii U is the best console this generation and is basically a fucking gamecube.

Seriously?
Pokemon XD darkness, Tales of the Abyss and Symphonia, Series bar setters like Metroid Prime and Windwaker. Whereas the Wii U has more of the same shit the wii coughed up. Doesn't even boast an out of left field update like the Wii Resi 4.

As for complaining abut remasters HELL I wish nintendo actually did bother to show some love to their old games rather than letting them rot because Miyamoto can't find an annoying new gimmick to tack on r.i.p Fzero.

Holy shit! I GOT IT! There could have been a F-Zero game on the Wii U where you use the gamepad to move the "F-Zero machine" left and right!! *gasp* HOLY SHIT!! That could have been used as an option to control the Arwing in Star Fox Zero!!! *faints*

OT: Uh... What? How can I be scared of a physical boogeyman when I can't even imagine being scared of a metaphorical boogeyman? Anyway, I'm having a blast with the Wii U I bought for myself last December... I am in no hurry to worry about some NX that will be like the Wii to the Gamecube or the Wii U to the Wii...

Other than that, since Nintendo is not known for "blast processing", it will always be a dissapointed to the eyes of... someone, I guess...
