Nintendo screwed up.
Whether they’re confusing their casual audience, or disappointing hardcore fans. Nintendo has Android Tablets
messed up many key factors in making sure the Wii U will be successful come launch. I’m not Dual Sim Cell Phone
saying the Wii U won’t be successful (Hell, people laughed at the Wii in 2006 and look how that E3 2012
thing sold.), but Nintendo’s lack of focus with the Wii U might be its downfall come the winter. elektronichouse.com

Nintendo had to quickly turn around their relations with third party developers after the Wii
received disappointing ports of third party games. This year they revealed all their amaz ing
third party improvements: Batman Arkham City, Mass Effect 3 , Darksiders 2, and Ninja Gaiden 3
etc. Um…Nintendo? I played all these games already on other consoles this past year. By the
time the Wii U launches, Darksiders 2 would have been out for three months. Even the new
games such as Assassin’s Creed 3 is going to have a stronger release on Xbox and PS3 due
to more established fan base on those consoles. Nintendo’s solution to the Wii getting “Bad
year- old third party ports,” has been “Bad year- old third party ports,” for the Wii U. With the
exception of Rayman Legends and maybe ZombiU (dumb name), Nintendo is looking at falling
into the same problem they had with the Wii.
3) Where are t he Nint endo games and Ret ro St udios!?

6. sigh…
My reaction to the Nintendo- made games at their 2012 E3 press conference was as followed,
“Yes Pikmin 3!” and then I fell asleep from boredom. They announced a new “New Super Mario
Bros.” game, which looks exactly like the game I played 3 years ago, and they announced…uh
…Nintendoland. Hardcore Nintendo fans were very disappointed with the press conference and
so was I. No new Zelda, Metroid, Donkey Kong, F- Zero, or Starfox. Nintendo, just because you
have a new console doesn’t mean you “Have to have a new Mario Game.” (Reggie actually
said that during the press conference…ugh.) This, my readers is called “Uninspired.” You don’t
make a Mario game because you HAVE TO. You make it because you WANT TO. The big
disappointment for me though was the absence of Retro Studios. One of Nintendo’s most
successful developers was strangely missing from the E3 festivities this past June. Retro has
been hard at work on “something” since 2010’s Donkey Kong Country Returns and whatever it
is should have at least been teased at E3. With Nintendo’s lackluster showing back in June, a
little Retro Studio magic was definitely needed.

(inserts witty comment
about how dumb and misleading this name is.)
It’s best to mix these two topics together since they go hand in hand. Nintendo’s announcement
of the Wii U didn’t explode the hype or cause people to jump with joy in Mario suits. It left
people going, “What?” If Nintendo is trying to recapture the hardcore gamer and third party
developers, then why did they name it similar to the Wii? Hardcore gamers don’t want anything
to do with the “childish, grandma’s toy” that was the Wii. So why would Nintendo keep the name
“Wii” in Wii U, if they were trying to win back that audience? They’ve only pushed the hardcore
audience further away. Especially when you look at the Wii U’s “year late” third party line- up. It
also causes problems with their casual audience as well. The average casual gamer will see

don’t need another.” When I talked with my aunt about the Wii U discussing possible Christmas
gifts for her son she said, “Oh I didn’t know Nintendo had a scholarship program.” It finally hit
me that many people have no clue what the Wii U actually is. The casual audience for the most
part doesn’t even know it exists since there’s no promotion and marketing. Nintendo’s failure to
convey their new product to it’s audience is the biggest reason they’ve screwed up the Wii U
before launch and I honestly can’t feel bad for them because they had a free pass! They had
Sony and Microsoft take a step back (“PS4” and “NextBox 720” will most likely be announced
next year) and Nintendo took center stage with the Wii U. Nintendo didn’t have any competition
when it came to getting people hyped for the Wii U, and they instead alienated and confused
their audience even more.
We gave you the spotlight.
You gave us Nintendoland…
I still can’t hate Nintendo. I know their heart is in the right place, but with the Wii U they seem to
be unfocused and confused themselves about how to sell their product to customers. I hope
they get their act together and save the Wii U before launch because it does look like an
incredible piece of hardware with many unearthed possibilities and great games on the horiz on.
Right now, however the Wii U looks like an unnecessary piece of plastic that won’t be in my
already crowded living room.
