Nintendo Wii U

[Protocol Penguin]

Super Mario 3D World is the best game for the Wii U. It's oddly overlooked at times.

I got a download of super Mario 3d wiiu for forty quid from game, which isn't bad. They give you a download code to use on the Nintendo shop and you save ten quid.

[Salsa Party Animal]

got it from Game Download and it is only 37 pounds as I got 3 pounds of points to use. Shame Nintendo doesn't have cheap games enough.

The Wiiu sold over 80,000 consoles this week in Japan. Well up on last year.

Agree. Along with the console in general....

[BruceBruce]

I think the Wii U is brilliant.. I still need to get Smash Bros to be fully satisfied with it though.

[Boothjan]

It's sat in my wardrobe, all wrapped up.

FFS. It could be Mila Kunis in her birthday suit underneath all that paper and I'd be no more tempted to rip it open than I already am!

Splatoon, for sure - someone posted in the Splatoon! thread that it has sold over a million copies (heading towards a million on physical alone).

That was me!

Anyway there are now stock problems for the WiiU in Japan. Never thought I'd see that.

2016, Year of the Wii U.

Well the next Zelda is out. That is all that I care about. ????

It's a great console. The system and games are just immense fun it's a really welcome alternative to the other consoles.

I'm still resigned to Nintendo announcing that the upcoming Zelda game won't be coming to the Wii U after all. They'll leave it to sometime in the new year once enough people have bought the console for the Winter Gift Event. I think.

[jonnyalpha]

What winter gift?

[deKay]

The gift of snow.

[NEG]

The Gift of Wah Wah!

Keep the faith! I remember thinking the same thing when Gamecube was in its final year and we still got Twilight Princess.

I doubt they will have worked on the title for long and not release it on the WiiU.

Think the disk run will may be limited though like it was on the Gamecube so I'm getting a preorder in as soon as I can.

Possible, but then the Wii was just an overclocked GameCube with more RAM. I strongly doubt that the NX will share any architecture with the Wii U or any previous Nintendo machine.

Let's face it we no nothing much about Nintendos next console at all! 2016 is going to be interesting for Nintendo fans!

I really hope Nintendo release the new Zelda on the WiiU. It will be the first Nintendo home console that won't have had a iteration of Zelda on it which will be sad if that happens. Still think we'll be playing Zelda in March time next year! ????

Didn't Nintendo say they won't be abandoning the Wii U and letting them down, so hopefully we still get it.

Going by how Nintendo have worked in the past then I don't think they'll be a problem.

If it doesn't get a WiiU release then sure I'll be disappointed however it will make a great release title for the next console. If the WiiU is having difficulty handling the vision of the next Zelda technically then guess it can only be a good thing.

However doubt Nintendo will want to loose out to the market for a Zelda game on the WiiU let's face it there are around 10M units out there in the wild and that is a lot of sales. The WiiU is still selling incredibly well in Japan too...

[JimmytheMook]

Not releasing Zelda on the WiiU would be fatal for the NX, unless they are going after a completely different market to those who bought a WiiU.

[Mr Do 71]

I reckon Zelda on the WiiU will be the light world, and a dark world on the NX. What you do in one world affects the other etc...

Nintendo should bundle Zelda with the NX, on release of the new console.

Why?

[alex3d]

Why?

I think he's right. As a WiiU owner I certainly wouldn't buy another Nintendo console if they retreat on Zelda.

[squirtle]

Okay. You would, though, if it did well, had lots of good games, 3rd party support etc etc. You would. We all would.

[Dig Dug]

With the position Nintendo are in it wouldn't be very clever of them to backtrack on Zelda when everyone who believed them have bought their wii u's on the good faith that they would be getting the game.

[NEG]

We can hope Wii U's relative lack of success doesn't make Zelda Wii U terrible, mind. Wind Waker's scrapped dungeons come to mind.

[squirtle]

Who bought their Wii U on the good faith they would be getting a new Zelda? I mean, it's a good job Sony delivered the Last Guardian for the PS3 for all those who bought that machine in good faith that they would be getting that game. Otherwise that would really have hurt the PS4's sales...

Well. Actually still loved Wind Waker TBH. Even with bits cut from the game it was still far better than a lot of games out there.

[Super Craig]

Is there actually a precedent for this "Zelda is getting moved to the NX" talk? Twilight Princess still came out for the GC.
