*** Official Nintendo Wii U thread ***

I can see why they aren't making another Zombi U title.

They released 7 games for the Wii U and only got 3% of their sales from them.

1) Assassin's Creed 3
2) ESPN Sports Connection
3) Just Dance 4
4) Rabbids Land
5) Your Shape: Fitness Evolved 2013
6) ZombiU
7) Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth
 
I've just discovered the ignore button, what an absolute godsend! first for everything.

Has anyone seen the new Wonderful 101 trailer? looks pretty awesome.
 
Aye, 6.99.

Also, there's an offer for Pikmin and Wonderful 101 on the eShop. Download Pikmin and get Wonderful 101 for 30% off. If I wasn't such a luddite, that's actually tempting.

They are going to re-evaluate things after Christmas, if Rayman, Watch Dogs, AC4 sell badly they probably will drop the Wii U

That Pikmin/W101 deal probably isn't as good as it sounds since you can already get Pikmin for £30/31 and it will probably be £39.99 on the eShop, the same for W101 you can get that for around £33 and it will be £39.99 on the eShop.

Ubisoft have said that they didn't recoup anywhere near the dev cost to make Zombi U. Its the primary reason why they delayed Rayman, and made it mutli platform.

Most popular publishers will start to question the viability of Wii U software sales. The way its going, the Wii U will be a niche console.

Its sad to see it going in that direction. Nintendo have the money to survive a failure IF the Wii U flops. Nintendo have great first party IPs, and great R+D facilities. But I do feel they are walking in the wrong direction, hardware wise.

Good to hear, those were two games I was going to order anyway so may just bite the bullet on that.

There will likely be another Nintendo direct soon on w101 which I'd like to see, as I'm still not totally sure what its all about.

I dont get it...
Wii U sales are up and pikmin tops the japanese charts ..?
How can that be nothing other than good news?

If Pikmin keeps selling at 100k a week for the next month or so that would be great, but it's likly to drop massively in next week and onwards and a console going from selling terribly to slightly less terribly is hardly good news.

They released a new game after not having any releases for months, they released a white premium model and also a Nintendoland+Wii controller bundle(bear in mind Japan doesn't get Nintendoland bundled) and console sales only increased by 13000.
 
As a "gamer" i couldn't care less about sales figures, as long as Nintendo release good games for the system thats fine.
Thats why i bought the console. The same reason i bought a PS3 and a Xbox360, to play their exclusive games.

Everyone knows Nintendo's third party support and sales haven't been the greatest. Who's that bored that they need to keep harping on about it?:D

This. A downward spiral in sales (console, first and third party games) leads to fewer games being made, less support and less focus by game developers.
