what do you mean by fix

It's not like it's a completely different game now, no. But the original game has gotten updates a long time ago that fix some details like not getting a 1-up for 100 rings.

Also, if you're thinking of horribly broken Wii U Sonic games, you might be thinking of Sonic Boom, not Lost World. Sonic Boom is still exclusive to Nintendo systems with one Wii U game and soon two 3DS games.

maybe he meant "fix" as in "make it good"

sonic team couldn't make a 'good' game if Jesus himself tried to design a level

I'm going to laugh when the NX turns out to be a sega CD-style peripheral for the Wii U in a desperate attempt to save it.

he makes some valid points about how nintendo poorly defined [and continues to do so] the wii u when it announced it.  but i hardly consider the apple tv to be the new wii, obviously it'll have wider appeal like the wii did among "causal" gamers, but where as the wii was a dedicated game console that just happened to have a quirky way of interacting with its games, this is a netflix/hulu box that lets you play your iphone/ipad games.  of course i could be wrong, but i think the biggest thing lacking from the apple tv is local multiplayer which is what really made the wii a success.
