Nintendo pulls out WiiU from GamesCom

[Shuji1987]

Are people not getting tired for being so negative towards Nintendo? Literally everything is being transformed into something (horribly) negative. Why are people being so dramatic about everything?

Glad to hear it's not comin' to GC! I have totally no interest in lil' swarming fanboys. The assigned Zelda-Flashmob on Thursday may even be more than I can take. What's so wrong about just presenting games and a creepy show with "Mario's original voice" like last year?
And yes, the 3DS won't make it.
Anywhere.

i remember somebody talking about this sometime ago... but what if nintendo found a way to actually put the 3DS and the WiiU together? I don't mean take two consoles and smash them together and see what you get.. no. I mean using the 3DS as the controller.

Because a lot of people were disappointed with the Wii when it was first released, and decide that disappointment should be applied to all things Nintendo. Of course, that's not why everyone doesn't like Nintendo, it's just a common reason.

The fuck are "adult" games? I thought the problem for some people was the Wii had too many adult games that people's parents played? Oh, wait, you mean the kind of games aimed at teenagers.

Don't make posts that contribute nothing to the conversation. "Adult"="not for little kids" when it comes to games. Now let's get back on topic.

No, it tends to mean "stuff with space marines in". Professor Layton and Picross are more "adult" than Gears of War and Killzone, but they don't get incorporated into the "adults games" quota when talking about a console's library.

they got burned with 3DS launch and are cautious this time around

They should have never made the console anyways.

If Nintendo scraps the WiiU entirely and makes a new console that actually works (maybe better graphics and a better controller) I would seriously just abandon Sony and Microsoft for good.

Doesn't make the console have great games like the PS3 and 360 does though.

So basically make a console that will be exactly the same as MS and Sony's next offerings? You've already got two companies making almost identical systems, why do you need another?

I would not be surprised if they delay WiiU.
What makes the WiiU special? The big, fat, ugly looking controller o.o? Which, just by looking at it makes me feel uncomfortable..

I am not a big fan of the Wiimote, but it worked. Most games had fun controlls.

Seriously now, security o.O? Its more like they are concerned that they failed yet again.

This is a family orientated console and always will be. That's what ninty needs to fix

More like people need to stop seeing every Nintendo console as family orientated instead see it as everyone orientated.

That's what people need to do.

/serious

Do you know why? Because this next console is definitely for wii and u.

Adult targeting games?

But if those same games would come out for another console, I would end up buying it for said other console. For 3 reasons. 1.The wii mote is too difficult to use for many games. 2. the other consoles have achievements and trophies. 3. Nintendo's online service still has a lot of work to do. The 3ds and the eshop's poor growth rate shows nintendo is far behind in that area.

It's shame this is happening! Was looking forward to seeing more of the Wii U, but I guess it'll be a PSV show only then!

Isn't family "everyone"? Or does "family" mean "everyone at the same time, all the time"? Is a PC family oriented or "family" oriented?

 

[boombox]

I wasn't too impressed by the Wii U anyway, seemed really gimmicky, and they left out a LOT of stuff at E3. Hopefully this isn't an omen for Nintendo..

Either way PSV would have attracted more attention lol.

Now wait for Nintendo to delay WiiU.

looked shit anyways

I don't understand WHY there is SO MUCH hate towards this system that isn't released yet.
People thought the Wii's motion controls were a gimmick and now people are saying the SAME exact thing about this controller.
Its like saying PSMove is innovative. (WHICH IS NOT!) I mean don't get me wrong but which two companies tried to copy Nintendo?
Nintendo is a family oriented company huh? what about this E3 when Microsoft was reaching towards the kids with Elmo and friends
and Kinectamals? Nothing wrong producing games to the casual market, hardcore gamers just take the advantage to make fun of them.
The WiiU may seem like a dumb maybe stupid idea, but didn't we expect the same thing with the Wii in 06?
we thought it was gonna flop but it didn't It sold more than PS3 AND 360 tenfold.
About the 3DS not selling well:
Its because SOME ignorant news publishers like, THESUN are make BLATANT lies about the system. Clearly they are twisting Nintendo's word
thus making it a "hot topic". The 3DS was a bit too overprice and should of been around 180$. Now can we PLEASE stop judging Nintendo
with its failures and stop assuming that WiiU is a gimmick? We all fail sometimes, its natural.
EDIT: Nintendo is giving you an HD Wii with great online AND Amazing 3rd party support...isn't that what you wanted?

P.S INB4 TL;DR

Sorry your miss informed, but Microsoft didn't copy shit. Kinect is a licensed tech. Nintendo turned down the offer to use/get it. Microsoft was offered the same tech and accepted the license for it. Would you turn down a potential money maker, you competitor turned down? Especially when the only reason they rejected it was because of hardware limitation, limitations your product doesn't have?

Yes, and about the WIi U getting the same hate as the Wii?

 

[SamAsh07]

Modifications are the sole reason

Or they are just planning on how to showcase the WiiU properly unlike the broken presentation they gave at E3 Lol.
