The sorry state of the Wii U

[Kalahari Inkantation]

yeah imo nintendo completely deserves this lol

they have done absolutely nothing to make the wii u an appealing device to anything other than an increasingly tiny niche of gamers

maybe they've learned a valuable lesso-- no stop saying this you'll only disappoint yourself

ok so should i just not ever get a wii u or what

david's opinion notwithstanding

even if it is a david opinion, the simple and correct answer is no

[Kalahari Inkantation]

well, get it if you think its current library plus the three titles left to come out are worth the investment of $250 to play lol

the console itself may be shit with very little potential left but for hxxxc nintendo fans who can overlook its shortfalls and have another means of playing third parties (or simply don't care about them) i'd say the library is still sufficient enough to justify the expense

i think it is, but... eeeeehhhh

i had a weird existential crisis at the end of the holidays that made me rethink things, mostly from the (obvious to anyone rational but me) realization that there's no fucking way in hell i'm ever going to get through my backlog
it almost made me delete my sig

it's calmed down, but i'm taking my backlog much more casually now
i retired a bunch of games i got from gog that either didn't work very well on my pc or just weren't really to my taste
and that's what i'm gonna keep doing; if i don't like something or get bored by it i'll just retire it and move on to something else without being worried about it still being in my backlog

with that said, i'll keep the countdown going, mostly as an experiment to see how long it can take me to beat 40 games and how many seemingly good games either consoles can garner in that time, but at this point in time i'm not sure i'm actually going to buy the winning console at the end of the countdown

lol

that's why i adhere to my strategy of only ever buying games that satisfy a certain threshold on [glow=black,2,300]metacritic[/glow], and even then i still have huge problems keeping up

if i were to allow myself to be any more open minded when it comes to purchasing games i would absolutely never have any hope of ever finishing them all

i never want to find myself being overwhelmed with a huge backlog to the point at which it's discouraging because i know i'll be dead before i've played through them

that's also why i'm so glad the ps4 and xbox one are taking so long to become attractive to me lol

basically reading between the lines:

nintendo plans on increasing 3ds software revenues by porting shitty smartphone games and remaking [read: porting] its older games to the 3ds.  beyond snes and n64 games, many of which have already had proper remakes, what can nintendo honestly expect port to the system? it's not like it'll be impossible to find them elsewhere.  and for the former, why would a parent plunk down $200, or more, for a 3ds xl when crappy tablets and smartphones for children that exist well below that price and are more 'rugged' if they're just going to play the same terrible angry birds clone?


without fixing the pricing structure on its proper games, nintendo is basically starting its first forays into being a bigger zynga

emphasizing ports over new games

sounds like nintendo's finally catching up to the 8th generation
