Nintendo had nothing to do with Chrono Trigger but okay.till squaresoft and nintendo team up again to bring back Chrono Trigger, i dont ever see myself buying a nintendo system again...
Soooooo you don't need to buy physical copies of games????!!!
Nintendo has just revolutionized the industry if its true
Setting up my Wii U right now. Got the Deluxe Tax free
The Wii sold because of its novelty not because of its game variety or fun factor. It had little variety and what variety it did have were poorly converted ports. Add to that it was cheaper than both the PS3 and 360 at launch. The Wii released during the Fall of 2006 which is when the PS3 dropped. What little PS3s produced when they came out did fly off the shelves. In the long run it took longer to sell well because of the lack of titles at launch. Pointing to sales as something being good is just idiocy. The Wii may have sold the most, but it finished dead last in its previous generation.not really ps3 didnt just fly off the shelves matter fact out of the last big 3 systems for awhile ps3 was dead last... hell xbox 360 just start outselling the original wii. Ppl said the same thing about the last set of systems and the wii clearly outsold the others. The nntendo will always sell/do well simply off of its vast variety of game genres, novelty, and fun factor. The other two are basically sports, 1st person shooters/rpgs, and grand theft/sleeping dog etc type of games etc... for the most part. ppl for some reason think the vast majority of game players just want to play those type of games only. But history and sales prove otherwiseselling out / backordered / ebay prices are horrible arguments for this.
all those 3 can be accounted for a couple of things.
You dont know how many units Nintendo Produced.
They could've purposely made less to create hype.
This has always happened with console releases the last couple of years (selling out, hype, ebay)
Plus Xmas is around the corner, so parents of the demographic this console excites are going ape **** for it.

Sidenote: The gaming industry is fickle as hell. They're sucking the WiiU off after calling it the flop of E3 and one of the worst presentations ever.
I work at target and my discount made the total come out to 348. My friend who also works got a deluxe for $304 , it turns out he's be Racking up them shop kick points while at work HARD.You mind sharing where? Might head out in a bit to find one if I can't get it online.
how so casual game players are nintendo aimed target..... and it is because the variety of different games along with variety of ways to play games... 360/ps3 is basically for sports,rpgs, and many versions of essentially the same game ala grand theft, red dead, sleeping dogs.... ala cod/halo... Just look at sales of titles. The most popular and most sold games on either system basically fll into those three catagories.... Its the reason why nintendo/mobile gaming trumps psp/vita in terms of popularity and sales.The Wii sold because of its novelty not because of its game variety or fun factor.

This isnt new.

As far as the wii tailing off towards the end thats two fold because 1. that always happen when a company is about to release a new system, and 2 thats inj part the reason the other systems... mainly ps3 sales increased. Even if you look at the peak of their systems wii still outsold ps3 by a landslide and outsold the 360 as well. And if you look at sales in terms of games when you look at diversity of titles.. the top 360/ps3 games... again are basically a sequel of a game, and/or another variation of the same game. The top 10 360 games as far as sales, are all versions of call of duty halo, madden, and ac3. which isnt really a variety of games moreso the same game just new versions of the same game. So how is that a so called diversity. Outside of ninja gaiden and a few kinnect games the top 50 sellling 360 games are the same 3 or 4 games. with updated versions of them. and 2 of those 4 games are basically the same type of game... halo/cod.
The top wii selling games on the other hand are well diverse... from wii sports, super mario, rock band, zelda, punchout, resident evil....To say those games are all the same, yet 5 or so versions of call of duty, and 4 version of halo are vastly different... the general public along with casual gamers and sales prove otherwise.
The casual gamer doesnt want a library of mostly war simulated games, games in the likes of grand theft auto, and sports titles. This is proven by the sales.
Yea i feel as if the first wave of games havent shown the positives of having a screen gamepad... Well at least the games ive played. They say nba2k uses it well. But my thing is if microsoft (rumors) are making a built in screen controller ala like the dreamcast, how will it affect wiiu? Also with the recent rav over motion detection games... how will wiiu implement this into their new console. I really hope they dont think ppl still wanna have to hold a wand/nunchuck to play motion captured games, or swing around a 7 inch tablet.Well i played Wii U for about an 3 hours yesterday at my friends. It seems pretty cool actually for a casual gamer. Just some observations:
- I don't think nintendo really sold the fact that you can play the game that is on the TV on the game pad. Like i was impressed that the same game that is running on the tv can be ran on the WiiU tablet thing. Like you basically have a console in your hand. Like multiplayer blackops one person can play on the game pad while the other has the full screen. Its crazy that the controller can run the game at a good frame rate with good graphics.
- I played Zombie U. It kinda sucks. It tells you to look down at the controller half the game and you are scanning everything and have to activate it on the map. It is really tedious and not much fun really
- The big controller/tablet thing is pretty comfortable to hold. It also can work as a universal remote. So my friend hooked it up and could control his comcast box and tv with the wiiU game pad which is pretty cool since it is a touch screen.
- The web apps on it are pretty cool but basically the same as xbox and ps3.
- Played black ops 2 which was cool since i got the whole TV and he had to look on the gamepad for multiplayer.
- Played Mario which was entertaining with two people for a bit. Nothing special really but can't say it wasn't fun
- Played nintendo land and it was fun too. A bunch of little mini games and solid use of the gamepad.
The system seems cool and i think it will sell only because normal America just wants a pick up and play console that is fun. Which this is. Obviously if you are a gamer and love FPS's or NBA2k or Madden or Fifa you aren't going to buy the WiiU. But if you are a family or a nintendo nerd (which my friend is) it is pretty cool. It will be interesting to see how they take advantage of the gamepad as time goes on.
