Nintendo always makes one huge mistake when they release a new game console, though that mistake doesn't necessarily result in failure. What I'm wondering is, which huge mistake are they going to make with the Wii-U?
Well, for me they are doing the same as usual with the WiiU...
_paradoxical and confused conception. They're saying they want to aim to the cores this time but the whole concept of the console seems oriented around the family. They want to change but yet they keep the Wii name, they want to have a more classical and all around control method but they're putting them in a corner with the need fo wiimotes... The exact same they did with 3ds, which is focused on 3D yet keep some non coherent aspects from the nds for the sake of it.
_About the launch games, i'm hoping for good surprises cause for now it's looking a lot like the 3ds to. Lots of third party games, lots of multi... But especially i'm really worried about a fact, that everyone seems to be pleased about it seems..
We're hearing about tons of PS360 games that will come to the WiiU... But to me it's gonna weaken its appeal to new gamer customers pretty badly. The WiiU NEEDS to give people the feeling it's a step into the next gen, from the beginning. It's its only way to capture some gamers outside the already convinced Nintendo enthusiasts.
The worst it could happen to the WiiU is to give the feeling to some that it's the same as they've been playing with the 6 last years.
For that it needs to show:
_Nintendo and third party, or exclusive third party games that have enough shiny shaders/art style to make a clear difference with actual gen, and with pc gaming and diminishing returns, you know that won't be an easy task, but i'm confident for that at least.
_And especially, what it would need for me, to escape the closing gate of the actual gen before it's trap with its end, is NEXT GEN multi games! I mean something that isn't going to be done for the 360/PS3, that is, for exemple a pc game aimed at crazy stats (not something like Crysis 3 which is done with actual consoles in mind) that you could play first on WiiU, before the next consoles are released.
It's worrying me a lot, cause every "would be so great to see a GTAV or REVI on WiiU" is massive trap for me. Sure we here, who buy Nintendo consoles anyway, will be really happy to have the big games on it, and something like GTAV is massive sure, but it will send the wrong message to the others.
