Wii U don't

I purchased a Wii U yesterday and it will be coming in the mail sometime. Question is did I fuck myself? Is Nintendo going to have at least two epic games within Wii U's life span. I look back on the Nintendo consoles all the way back to SNES and realize that each only averaged about five games that are damn good. Even with Xbox consoles and the Sony consoles I have owned over the years really don't have many memorable games. I have a high standard and don't fuck around when it comes to gaming. Like Warren Buffet understanding value, the same goes for video games here.

I played "not so" New Super Mario bros. Wii U game at Best Buy when it first came out and was looking right at the boxes that where available on the floor which was one due to Best Buy trying to deceive shoppers into thinking that was the last one left. I only played the game for a minute and didn't feel right about it. The whole thing seemed like a real big fucking over. I felt like I was looking at a glorified original Wii that now had a tablet. I didn't mind the tablet. I felt like the next generation wasn't really much different and now if you wanted to jump on the bus with Nintendo you had to pay 300 bucks and an extra ten dollars for HD games. I decided to wait at least a year before I considered buying a Wii U. Well I lasted a year and said fuck it and went ahead and took the plunge and bid on a Wii U console. I don't think that console prices will drop anymore than 50 dollars for at least 3-4 years. If I'm wrong and the price drops more than 50 dollars within the next two years I'll be a cunt. Figuratively speaking of course.

The fact that you can't buy more tablets at the store right now seems a little odd. There are a lot of things that seem odd about Nintendo's choices with this console. If Nintendo fails to sell enough consoles will they not have the motivation to put out epic games for this system. Why should they if they won't see any return and possibly a loss. They could know in advance how well game sales could be if they know how many people own the console. If that is not the case then Nintendo would be confident that people will buy the console to play the hit game, which does happen of course. Will people give a shit anymore about remakes like Zelda and Metroid or will they turn their business else where to Sony or Microsoft's direction? Skyward Sword has sold 3.6 million as of September 2013. Grand Theft Auto Five sold 1.5 million copies in the first 24 hours in the UK alone. Goes to show you how Nintendo Is getting crushed in sales figures. The grand scale of games takes shit loads of money and industry power. Nintendo will have to figure out a way to survive against this and they will have to be smart as fuck. Fucking customers over isn't a good strategy. Die hard old school Nintendo fans will fade away and those left won't be enough to keep the juice.

I also read an article which Nintendo stated that they are going to put out more 1st party games without the help of other companies for development. This could bring even less games to the table. Nintendo and myself are confident that they will sell more systems once the big hits come out. Of course I want that to happen so Nintendo can continue to entertain me. If it doesn't this could be a major turning point for Nintendo. I read Nintendo built a new Nintendo studio that cost them 300 million. The last thing I want is Nintendo going backwards. Competing with Sony and Microsoft is foolish because those are mega companies that have way more money. Nintendo tried to make something different and I'm not sure if it is that much different from what is already out there and the cool features that the system has I think will go right passed people. The features are not mind blowing and people have not created a buzz and so there is no hype like there was with Wii sports.

brief intermission

Nintendo must know that most of the people that play their systems are toy destroying kids. What the hell are they doing making a tablet for children. Obviously most of these tablets will be destroyed and I don't think parents will be compelled to buy a replacement, especially when they find out there is none at the store and costs over a hundred dollars to buy from Nintendo directly. They will have the opinion that Nintendo puts out shit and put the console in the corner of the room in a pile with the rest of the kids toys. This makes me believe that Nintendo will put out a different game pad soon that will cost them less to make and will be more durable. Of course it will have a new feature like better resolution or bigger/smaller screen. It is total bullshit that you can't play the Wii U with the wii controllers. The game pad has to be on the entire time the Wii U is on. Absolute Total bullshit.

If Nintendo does fail with this console they might as well do something cool as fuck like make a cartridge system again with traditional game pad. That would be so fucking awesome if they did that. No more shitty loading and no more listening to the machine turn the disc for information every five seconds. They could make super cool cartridges now that solid state drives are out there. Of course this will happen when my dick grows two feet. The digital download will rule the future. Fuck there is something for Nintendo to really have people by the balls. They could have a new console that has no disk compartment and only downloads games from the internet. One day I imagine that will be the case. Maybe a system or two away if Nintendo can survive that long. It does seem like if Nintendo was to leave the home console biz for a while to focus on handheld, the hand held could hook up to the television with some kind of cord or streaming box.

 Fuck whatever it takes to keep Nintendo alive. I don't think I could live without Nintendo. It has been life support for me. I think Nintendo is smart enough to figure out how to stay alive in the market. I would think they don't have to have billions of dollars to keep making fun games. It will be a sad day if they ever have to join forces with a bigger company. If that day comes you can kiss the quality control good bye. If Nintendo dies out many years from now, I would assume they will join the likes of Sega in exclusively making games. When the next generation takes over Nintendo, will they have the same imagination and passion for the company as the company heads have had and continue to have?

Nothing is announced for next year so that is not good at all. We might get one game that is awesome around 2014 Christmas season. If you know anything about anything you know that if Nintendo has a huge title coming out it is announced at least a year in advance. I will let you know what I think of the Wii U once I receive it and have some intimate time alone.
