I'm a Wii U owner and feel incredibly burned by it and not because of the lack of games just the incompetence of Nintendo at doing anything that is consumer-friendly, they know they can do whatever they want and their fanbase will go along with it. I love Nintendo for the way they are but I also hate the way Nintendo is.

It's like Nintendo take as many back and side steps as they take steps forward. And just thinking that people complained a lot about Nintendo back in the N64 and GameCube days. |

Ugh. There's no need to feel sorry for me. I don't regret buying a Wii U at all. My collection of games isn't huge, but I enjoy the ones I have for it. It's not like I spend 99.99999999% of my time playing video games anyway, and I don't rely solely on video games for entertainment. People like sdp may regret owning a Wii U, but I'm sure as hell not going "woe is me" about it. This pity garbage is sickening.

I've posted it a few times but I'm just burned on the way things were handled. They launched a system that wasn't ready and they're doing the same now. No VC, no apps, missing features, hardware problems etc. Will those things be fixed? I think so,t hey were fixed for the 3DS and Wii U eventually but it took months/years and by then the product was cheaper. Early adopters got burned. I have nothing against early adopters, I love being one and the downsides include being a beta tester but Nintendo has taken it to another level where they outright take anti-consumer decisions and don't care.
I really want to get a Switch now but I know I'm better off waiting as Nintendo doesn't care if you get left out in the cold for supporting them first. I'm done with that. Quote:

but if I must...I own most of the "must have" Wii U games and I'm happy with the games but when you see that most of the list that you just posted had ports/enhanced versions or extremely similar versions on 3DS you think Nintendo could've done more. It was mostly done to be able to get twice the bang for the same buck and have constant releases than starting from scratch with each time. Switch getting enhanced versions of a few of those games makes you feel unappreciated by Nintendo, a Beta tester that pays.z It's not whether the Wii U had stuff to play, it did, even with the complains above. It's more of Nintendo treating fans poorly that I feel burned by the Wii U. |

The 3DS ports are usually inferior to the previous versions. The only reason they're even doing that is to fill in some gaps on the 3DS release schedule because the 3DS is also going to be dead by the end of 2017.

Dead?! Pretty sure Nintendo said earlier this year that they weren't gonna kill the 3DS yet. What sense would it make considering that handheld is a huge success, they've been adding more VC games, the New 3DS came out in 2014-2015 and , I assume, Pokémon Sun and Moon have been selling very well? Or is this just your theory? |

2017 is the last year for the 3DS, basically whatever titles were still in development for it are coming out and nothing new beyond that. Nintendo is largely stopping development of 3DS software and most third parties have moved on.
The Switch is the successor to both the Wii-U and 3DS. |

They might not be exactly the same games Cubed, but they're similar experiences which can hold someone over instead of forking moolah for a new console if they're getting almost the same games in the device they already own.

Who knows what they're thinking, that's my theory but Nintendo is known to be unpredictable since they make moves that don't make any business sense plenty of times. |

So what sort of games in specific would you like the Switch to have?
I'd love to see F-Zero making a comeback after all these years. The Wii and the Wii U didn't even have a single F-Zero game. Hell, there hasn't been an F-Zero game since 2004. About damn time, no? Although, I gotta say I really doubt that F-Zero GX can ever be topped. That game was the best in the franchise by far. All of the F-Zero games are good, imo. OK, SNES F-Zero is clearly dated and feels barren nowadays, and even back in the day it was silly how it didn't have a 2 player mode(how can a racing game not have one?), but it sure was a pretty fun and even somewhat innovative game back in the day. And has the most memorable OST of every F-Zero game, imo. |

I'm all for a new Metroid and Star Fox, If they don't force some gimmick on them.

It seems the Star Fox series isn't very popular nowadays. It's a shame because that franchise had a lot of potential to become one of Nintendo's top franchises. The first ever Star Fox game was pretty good at the time and Star Fox 64 is probably the most quotable video game of all time, with even "Do a barrel role!" being a fun Easter egg on google. But I guess the GameCube titles held down the franchise a bit. Assault, in particular, wasn't very well received by fans and critics alike, and Adventure wasn't even originally meant to be a Star Fox game. Dunno how people in general felt about Star Fox Zero but I saw several complaints about it being pretty short for a modern game.
But really, think of all the untapped potential of the Star Fox series. Nintendo consoles aren't particularly notorious for having games where you have to constantly shoot enemies. So surely Star Fox could, in theory, satisfy the needs of those who like playing military games and shoot up spaceships? Star Fox also has good cartoon/anime potential, I feel. Hell, now that I think about it, Nintendo have missed tons of opportunities to seriously tap into animation. OK, Pokémon is a huge hit and there has been a short lived Zelda cartoon which is only notorious for the "EXCUUUUUUSE ME, PRINCESS!" line and some Mario cartoons and anime shorts. As for live action stuff... well the Super Mario Bros. movie was pretty poorly made. But really, if done right, I'd be VERY open to a decent animated film based of a Nintendo property that's not Pokémon. I know that adapting a video game into a cartoon/anime isn't that easy to pull off, but hell have any of you read Zelda mangas? Ocarina's and Majora's were pretty alright for what they were, imo. |

Jesus, the puzzles in the new Zelda remind me of Portal.
