Yes and that's no excuse. Other consoles simply revert back to their respective home screens instead of giving an error that the consumer should not see.

It's just not that powerful.

Read above and the last pages prior.
If they were doing ports, they should have tried just dance 4

You realize my PS3 just kicks me back to my home screen when I do that, right? Because it wasn't designed by a pack of lazy idiots?
S'all good though. My GBA did something like that, too.

Well, I wasn't going to buy one at launch anyway (lack of money mostly) but I get to laugh at my friend who's being made to buy one at launch.
Hm, wow.
What can I say? I am a time traveler
Wait till you guys see the ps4 launch
It will take years to repair the damage to Detroit

this whole part was pretty priceless
I hear you. That's why I had the "
", I understand there were more reasons that NSMB Wii sold well. I don't think the system seller suggestion is laughable, however. Nintendo Land will sell more because it's a pack-in, but it will be closer to NSMBU than you seem to expect (talking about this year only, for now). See my previous post for the edited-in poll that's one of the reasons why I think it's reasonable.lol great response.

I'm just shocked Detroit still exist in some capacity in the future

lol love it.
Why does it feel like Nintendo is still using the same OS designers from the Gamecube days? Back when you just needed a pretty basic set of "Play game or settings" menus? So far behind the curve. Wouldn't be surprised if you can attribute this to NoJ being control freaks.
Probably because Nintendo hasn't changed the hardware since then. At least it feels like they haven't...sigh...

well at least we will get Doomtendo to show up early.
Should get some ace games from that.
But no seriously today wasn't a death sentence for the thing. Nintendo, to theri credit won't just sit on their asses and I'm sure this will get "fixed"...it should'nt have come to this but it is what it is.
and once again we will get a great game out of this if the backlash is that bad....
so unless it breaks christmas records and shit, some of these issues will be ironed out (Things like the one account, wii mode,and such don't really effect or bother me much as won't be traveling with my account, didn't buy much on the wii and probably going to use Dolphin for Wii stuff. The battery doesn't either because I don't play that long and Myset up has me close to the system...but still that shit sucks).
Nintendo isn't that oblivious....they just always need a wake up call.
It's kinda funny that they have fucked up by not having a true system seller out the gates for like the 5 time (GC, DS,Wii,3DS and now Wii U all had okay launches with the big guns always on the horizon..).
I'm really fascinated to see where it goes from here. I'm not buying one due to money issues and no games I want that badly but it going to be interesting to see what happens and how Nintendo reacts.

This. At least Sony seems to use their foreign partners, Nintendo seems stuck in their bunker....laughs

That's like... waiting almost forever. There's still no Xbox emulator and Wii U is far more complex than that.
And then there's that gamepad...
This is why absolutely.

This thing is such a disaster. It's like if they had released the Wii and it were inferior to the PlayStation 2 or something.
I'll still get one eventually for the 1st party Nintendo games, but damn... It's seriously like they are just ignoring the competition and living in their own bubble. I guess we'll see how that strategy pans out for them.

The launch games pretty much were. The same will likely happen again. Just give it time.

I will wait for a price drop and actual games that interest me (coming from Nintendo or not). I did the same with the Wii and was worth it.

Its kind of depressing that we have to deal with a lot of this stuff for at least another 5 years.
I don't really regret my purchase of one, because I know for sure at the very least another Super Smash Bros was going to force me to get one at some point anyway and game quality will always trump console quality but that doesn't make me feel a whole lot better about how disappointing this entire console has been so far.

I'll definitely give it time, but that's the problem for Nintendo. I have a feeling a lot more people are going to be taking that stance this time around.
Once the Zeldas / Smash Bros / 3D Marios come out people will be buying the system. It's like what people said in that killer app thread. Companies are having weaker launches since supply is short and will sell out regardless. I'll bet that next year, Nintendo will have quite a lot come Holiday time to combat Durango.

I really doubt that, specially with HD development.

Nintendoland does have a long initial load. Besides that, just because a game is designed ideally for the hardware by the company that manufactured it doesn't mean there aren't issues third-party developers are running into it. Especially when they're trying to develop different types of games, or port existing ones.
One hypothetical: Earlier I had been thinking about Sega porting, say, Sonic Generations to Wii U. But the design of that game (and Unleashed prior) relies heavily on streaming massive stretches of levels into memory on the fly. With the slower memory on Wii U, that might actually be a technical roadblock to that type of game. Captain Falcon's Twister Race is not comparable to that.
That's just one rough example. I know Nintendo shouldn't design a console solely around getting ports, but at least with the Wii, receiving comparable PS2 and Xbox 1 ports was a non-issue. I can't recall any Wii titles that suffered greatly over PS2 or Xbox versions, motion controls complaints aside. There might have been a few, but not as prominent as these.
But the hardware may not turn out to be a problem. It just can't be ruled out yet.

Whether we like it or not, Wii Sports was more of a system seller than most anything you might consider a system seller. It's sold more units than like the entire Halo series combined before 4. (And before you say pack-in, plenty of Halo games have been bundled as well).

Well they are going to have to create new ones since the ones they created on the show are locked onto that system and worthless now, so no.

So, uh, I watched the whole archive today, because fuck productivity.
This console is FFUUUUUUUCKED.

Speaking of that, this weekend truly proved why Nintendo implemented all those draconian restrictions.
