[RUMOR] Several Wii U dev kits returned to Nintendo

[Rydian]

The source of this is some random website, Dashhacks that conveniently specializes in Wii U news and doesn't seem to be very popular. This is probably BS.

Dashhacks was PSP-hack-focused back when the PSP actually had homebrew development.

 

[Ergo]

Seriously people, if you're going to make **** up, at least make it semi-plausible.

Yay for more Nintendo Negativity threads!

Everyone is just a tad butt hurt. Nintendo promised something and didn't really deliver.

 

[WiiUBricker]

If it were me, I'd sell the kit to make a few bucks.

I'm sure they are contracted to return dev kits to them.

If this is true, this is incredibly sad. Now, granted, Nintendo has always had a rough time with 3RD party support.

While I can't really claim to be a Ninty Fanboy, as I don't own a WiiU (yet hopefully), this makes me sad on a few levels. Not that I "only play nintendo games" but they make the games I want to play. My friend literally bought me a 360 and I can't even be assed to go downstairs and play Halo 4 with all of my friends on monday nights. I'd rather sit in my bed and play wii on my standard def TV or Mario 3D land on my 3DS. Even though I own some flagship titles for the 360 (burnout revenge which is old and I beat on PS2, FF13 where you learn that graphics don't sell games alone, Skyrim which is a big overhyped game, fun but not as everyone says, Halo 4 and Battlefield, where I have to be playing with friends to enjoy it, I get so friggin bored looking down the sights of a gun...) I'd rather play childish games that nintendo makes. I like over saturated colors and silly childish translations.
I'm going to be very very sad if the WiiU proves to be too big a blunder for them to handle.

You can always try and drive a car that has had its physics modelled off an elephant on roller skates or even better try and fly a plane that has all the feeling and poise of a tossed house brick.

Doesn't everyone remember the "3DS is doomed" bandwagon everyone and their brother was riding on last year? I mean, really. Yeah, Nintendo is at fault for being so slow to release gaems, but really, the Nintendoomed-sayers are getting annoying.

 

[Mantis41]

I was thinking of other games that are not shooters and then added some sarcasm regarding how bad most offerings from those two genres are.

Nintendo 64U

The N64 was unique, the Wii U can barely break up today standards. leaving the x console sold y while z did more shit out

Ah, I appreciate it.

While true, it wasn't just games that helped the 3DS sell. They also sliced the price, released the XL, and got some more 3rd party support.

You know the saying, you play what your friends play, well I don't think that hold muchs truth, otherwise I would be a WoW, CS and Starcraft player. Many big releases like Skyrim I tried to give a shot but just can't enjoy, like I played Minecraft a day or two but got quickly bored with it, endlessly breaking blocks for materials felt like a chore imo, not a game I'd play for fun.
I don't think it has to do with, oh it's Nintendo, I grew up with them! Playstation used to have loads of games that weren't afraid to look a little childish, it's just that things have changed. And people will jump and call you a fanboy...
Nowadays it's either indies or Japanese devs that does these "outside of the box" kind of games, few exceptions.

 

[BORTZ]

Yeah, I mean big name games don't really do it for me, it's not that I don't like them, sure the idea and watching someone play Bioshock infinite is cool, but if I owned the game, chances are I'd never play it. I just don't care.

There's a difference between saying, "this game sucks!, how unimaginative!" and genuinely not having interest. It's only bad if you never played the games in the first place before you say something.
There are so many complaining about FPS's for all the wrong reasons.

I think it's a Nintendo Positivity thread. The faster the Wii U crashes and burns, the faster Nintendo can (hopefully) pull their heads out of their asses and go back to GOOD, CREATIVE ideas. Bringing the DS model to the TV screen is NOT creative, it's a rehash. A poorly executed rehash at that; if you want to use touch controls on a TV game, you need to either hold the Wii U up to eye level, or take your eyes off the damn TV. Why would I want that?

They made Just Cause and Just Cause 2. You should care because Just Cause 2 was fun as shit.
