Wii U
What Wii U needs to succeed
Back To: Board List | Topic List | Topic Archived
These are just my observations of common complaints (some of which are my own) 1) CHANGE the *&%&^ing name!: The name is so fricking stupid! this was one of my complaints with the original Wii, and I am certain the name turned off a lot of would-be adopters. There is also another factor to consider, Marketing. Many people seem to confuse this with another release of the Wii (similar to DS phat->DSlite->DSi->DSiLL->3DS) It's easy to think that the 3DS is simply a rehash of the old DS. The same problem applies to WII U. NINTENDO ARE YOU LISTENING! change the name.... and for once make it something cool please is Revolution too cool for you guys to consider? 2) Analog sticks NOT circle pad: I personally love the circle pad on the 3DS, that said, 3ds is a handheld, and circle pads should NOT be on a console, Analog sticks please, this one is a no brainer. 3) More than one tablet per console. kthanxbai. Seriously there is no reason to limit your console, considering the Tablet gives us an entirely new experience, why limit it to 1 per console? This will discourage multiplayer on your console. Finally you're recycling the Wiimote (which I love, but is now ancient tech) even the Move is more modern and improved on the Wiimote (even if it shamelessly ripped it off) 4) Do NOT release your system before you have a good launch lineup: People are complaining about the launch lineup for 3DS, personally I think it's fine as is, nevertheless, I'm biased and I see this argument-a lot. Pay attention Nintendo. You need 4 or 5 killer apps at launch instead of none. Ubisoft is showing support thats fine, but you will need a LOT more than Ubisoft and Tecmo when you launch. Also your launch games cannot be enhanced ports of games that have already been out on another system for awhile. a) launch with a mario game b) launch with a Zelda c) launch with at least 3-4 good third party games Follow these steps and you will have a successful launch. 5) Do NOT overprice the console: Sony layed down the gauntlet with the Vita, and they're not likely to let up. Sony is looking long-term here. They may take a massive hit in money at launch but there is no denying that for tech fiends, this is one attractive piece of tech. Keep it cheap at about 250ish and you will sell well (provided the previously mentioned steps were also followed) 6) Increase the power: again im the type that prefers gameplay over graphics, but this isn't about my opinion, this is about the complaints I've seen. People argue that the ps4 will trump Wii U's graphics, this is probably true. So Nintendo, you need to pull a rabbit out of your hat and this sucker powerful. Mine every last pixel out of the hardware that you can. 7) Follow MS's formula for attracting 3rd parties. MS famously worked hard to attract 3rd party developers early on in the system's lifespan, this seems to have worked as there are plenty of games to choose from on their system. Learn from those around you, even if they're a competitor (it hasnt stopped them from learning from YOU and ripping you off time and again) 8) Dont be afraid to do what's worked on other systems: It's not like you can be blamed for ripping them off, I mean they've been ripping off Nintendo ideas for years and no one blames them. Why? because it WORKS! 9) Be unique but don't forget to incorporate point #8 Those are my thoughts. What are yours? --- Brawl FC: 4382-1634-7585 | |

The name will not be changed. Analog sticks would be uncomfortable on a pad. It's not a controller, its a pad. N/A Launch with TWO first party titles? Keep dreaming. You MIGHT get Pikmin. Other than that, I'm waiting for some exclusive launch tittles. Hopefully it wont be overpriced, the 3DS has taught them what happens if they do. No one is saying PS4 will be that strong. Sony has already said it wont be that strong compared to PS3. lrn2research They're doing that already. Or trying at least. What are they gonna rip off of? Unique but incorporate ripping off. :/ --- What is quote? Baby don't quote me, baby don't quote me...no more. | |

That gamefaqs actually notifies its users when a topic is moved. This was in the 3DS boards, and now it's in a board that not that many people look at. Like I said before, why not just call it the Wii U Hii Shii Mii Thei Evrybuddi Puddi Puddi? | |
Might also be wise to go all digital format, because the developers are hating the used game racket, if they did that on the Wii U it might attract developers.... --- Brawl FC: 4382-1634-7585 | |
You forgot the most important one. Don't treat your US customers poorly. Don't arbitrarily decide to not release games, and don't randomly decide to released gimped versions of games. --- God was a dream of good government.
