Even if NX releases on November 2016 just one year less than most console lives is pretty big for how financial failure the WiiU was
I already have more Wii U games after 3 years than I had Wii games after 6.
I'm good.
I understand the console is under performing and all but is anyone pissed off at the fact the Wii U support is ending supposedly soon?
We are still getting DLC for Smash, MK8 DLC finished this year, Splatoon is still getting DLC, X and Zelda is still to be launched.
So what is a good date to launch the NX but still feel satisfied with your Wii U purchase? Or is the launch of Zelda, whenever that is, enough?
Personally I would be happy if we continue to get support for the whole of 2016, then I can let it go.
I'm more upset that it seems like 3DS is on its way out. Seems like that system still has lots of potential.
The bolded is all I needNah. I mean I'm disappointed but I've gotten my use out of it. We got Smash and MK out of it. And then XenoX, Zelda U and #FE to round it all off. I say that's good enough.
Not really. It's had a good run, but it feels like its time is coming to an end.

No way shareholders are going to let Nintendo lose money and waste another Christmas next year on the Wii U. They hate the system, Nintendo at this point probably hates the system, and consumers really don't care for it. The NX is rumoured to be on par in terms of power with xbox1 and ps4, meaning it'll be able run ports. 2016, Christmas, at the latest. Nintendo needs a home system that makes money.I would be happy with this launch timeframe.
What do you mean by "supports"? Do you expect some secret first party game to be announced and released before 2016 is up or before the NX is announced? Starfox, Zelda WiiU and TPHD are on the way, which is more than enough for this sinking ship into 2016. Other than that, it's all hands on deck for the NX launch over there.Thanks for this. If Nintendo supports the Wii U for all of 2016 then I would be satisfied.
