On a scale from one to ten, where 1 is PS1 and 7 is Vita, how well will Wii U do in your opinion ?
Wheres PS2 on that scale?

Wasn't that supposed to be the Wii?
Personally, I'd be more worried about the health of Sony.

The HivemindGaf....
...laughable.
Oh, I chose one that doesn't go to the full extremes, PS2 would be something like... -3 ? I admit it's a rather arbitrary scale.
Did you just say hivemind? oh dear.....
The studio/group that developed pikmin 3 also developed NSMB U so yeah you can argue that it was lazy if you wish but think about how a small development group can develop two launch titles in tandem is pretty hard if you ask me both titles are going to be gobbled up by the masses.
... Really?This is exactly my point. Instead of holding a developer accountable for when they have fumbled the ball, you view the companies embarrassments as a comparison scale.... Nintendo Wii U has been almost a disaster on every level.
- Messaging (The controller works on Wii, right?)
- Lineup (Pikmin 3 and a couple Ubisoft titles)
- Tech (Not mult-touch, barely better than a 360?)
- Understanding ( If Nintendo makes the decade old Wii controllers a focal point for the Wii U, will the Wii plus controllers be included in the new system or not? If not, another blunder by Nintendo)
- Lack of online functionality
- Lack of Social Media strategy ( They just hired a new head a month ago)
- Etc.
And yet....
you bring up Sony...
Must be nice to be able to live with that amount of indoctrination in your life....

Both completed years ago. Pikmin is a major disappointment on many levels as well.
This is exactly my point. You view this as "us" vs "them" instead of holding a developer accountable for when they have fumbled the ball. Nintendo Wii U is almost a disaster on every level.

This excuse does not help your argument.

Or some BurntPorkHmmmm. These posts are starting to taste more like piss lemonade than mint.
I just see no evidence October is even a possibility.

It's not so much that 2D Mario won't sell; it's more about how Nintendo has become lazy with development. Instead creating a new rendition for a new system (Mario 64) they have up-resed a three year old game with quickly pasted new backgrounds...
Nintendo is no longer a developer for gamers. Instead, they're now a company desperate to find it's footing in a ecosystem where they are becoming more and more irrelevant.
Wii U marks the death of Nintendo.
This is one of the most embarrassing things I've ever read.

Yeah that ranks high up there
Ye, I hate that Mint guy.
I doubt New Super Mario Bros U would get nearly as much grief if it was as visually creative as Trine 2, or if they went the route of Kirby's Epic Yarn. That Van Gogh background looked cool, but that's really the only spark of passion I've seen in the game so far.
The latest it'll be is November 18. Three weeks earlier can't fit a "holiday" release? :lol Stuff is getting to you, schuelma.

As long as Mario makes it into the holiday season, there's no problem, no real missed opportunity I'd think.
Hell, if Pikmin 3 is day 1, this would be beneficial to Pikmin 3, but who knows?
Man... if Mario really isn't a launch game... this could honestly be the most pathetic launch for any system, ever.
C'mon, Nintendo. I want to want your system. Don't you want me to, too?
its still looking like the greatest launch window lineup Ive ever witnessed.
^ i love it how your all going crazy and believing the comments from a regional hired hand basically
Yeah the people in this thread must be under the impression that the ps3 launched with MGS 4 and the 360 with gears and halo. Does anyone remember how abyssmal the n64 launch was? and how stagnant the gamecube's library was after launch? The ps3's launch line up wasn't to hot either and i doubt people will say "if the ps4 doesn't launch with uncharted 4, it's D00M3D. The hyperbolic remarks in this thread are ridiculous

Why do you think people are mocking Nintendo land as nothing more than a collection of 99cent apps.
Nintendo is simply fading away.

You can't really compare launches of different gaming era's to this one; because were in brand new territory with the launch of this gen thanks to browser/social media technologies.

Social media, browser based gaming, etc. are now dominate forces in the mainstream ecosystem. Wii was lucky in that it showed up right before the smartphone boom.

Browser based games and flimsy 99 cent appish games are generally not gonna fullfill the core gamer. Nintendo might struggle with the casual market, but they're not gonna be obsolete so long as they don't ignore the core demographic. Same with the other two.
It's easy to be disappointed with the art direction of the New series. However, I think New Super Mario Bros. U looks a lot less sterile than its brothers. Better backgrounds and even little things like better grass can go a long way.
It looks clean, and I like it.
I'm not specifically talking about NeoGAF when I say this, but I recall some people being quite upset when Reggie claimed that gamers should be satisfied with games like New Super Mario Bros. U and Pikmin 3 as launch titles. Some people kept saying things like, "We didn't want 2-D Mario. We wanted 3-D Mario."
Now, when these games end up being released later than expected, we're suddenly riled up about that. If you didn't care that New Super Mario Bros. U was on the launch line-up, why should you care if it isn't?

Then I'll wait.
Even if it launched with Mario, Wii U would be the worst Nintendo console launch line up. Without Mario, it would be appallingly bad.
