Now that it's official that Mario Kart 8 saved the Wii U what's next in store for Nintendo?

Will they ever overtake the PS4? Will a comfy 2nd place be satisfactory for the 8th gen?

Bayonetta 2 and Hyrule Warriors helped a bit too but let's face it, Mario Kart 8 was the turning point for Nintendo. Smash will literally smash the competition this upcoming holiday season. How fucking hyped are you some honest to god good vdya?
>>
How did MK8 save the Wii U? Wii U still isn't selling.
Or did you just mean saved it by being a good game?
>>
>Dat desperation
>Dat delusion

Life is so fucking good you guys. I'm so happy!
>>
OP have you even seen the sales?

I'm enjoying my Wii U but lets be honest here MK8 hasn't done shit for the sales and nintendo could have really went full on marketing the game to help the system but they didn't

I got a feeling Smash Bros U will have less advertising than the 3DS version as well
>>
>tfw only Wii U game I want is X
is it 2015 yet?
>>
Well there's no IP's like Splatoon and...Splatoon.
>>
>>270324030
Mario Kart 8 helped turned things around for Nintendo in addition to titles like Hyrule Warriors and Bayonetta 2 with the insane hype from Smash just around the corner.

>>270324126
>facts
>are delusions of grandeur now
You knew it would happen eventually. Nintendo will never EVER go away.

>>270324185
Jesus man, get with the fucking times.

>>270324187
Definitely on my top list.
>>
I'm not sure why people expect Smash, MK or any Nintendo IP will suddenly make the Wii U sell. All the Nintendo fans already got the system. They need either massive 3rd party support (NES, SNES) or something to attract a new audience (Wii and the casual audience with waggle), otherwise it'll just end up like N64 or GC.
>>
A price drop could 'save it' in the sense of maybe garner some more support from 3rd parties by having a wider audience, but overtaking the PS4 is never going to happen.
PS4 has already sold shit-loads with a shite library, and when it finally gets some games next year, it's going to steamroll even more. After the COD dust settles, the numbers are going to be ridiculous compared to WiiU, even with it's headstart, as well as 2D Mario, a 3D Mario, Just Dance, Wii Fit, MK, and Smash being available.
>>
>>270324412
You know the thing that always been weird to me? We gave the GC so much crap, me included, but at the end of the day the only games I still cared about enough to own from that era are GC games.

Like I love to give Nintendo shit but their games last really damn well.
>>
>>270323943
Why are you disregarding Megaman in Smash? Smash isn't out yet, it has a chance to turn the tides.
>>
>>270324373
Turn what around?

MK8 provided a small sales boost to 60K a week for two months but even with Bayonetta and Hyrule Warriors, the sales have lowered to 40K a week and still dropping.

Meanwhile the PS4 is reaching 150K to 200K a week.

It's not saved, not at all. It would be if this was Gamecube Era Nintendo, but current Nintendo needs WAY more sales to say profitable.
>>
>>270324412
1. New generations of gamers.

2. Nintendo is becoming the only true console to own for PC gamers as its the only one that has exclusive games. Both PS4 and Xbone have all their best titles on PC as well.

>>270324519
>yfw you realize Nintendo is the only company turning a profit on their next gen console

So even if Sony's PS4 is selling more, Nintendo is actually the only one turning a profit. Profit is what matters not how much shite you sell at a loss.
>>
>>270324698
They are turning a profit because of the 3DS, not because of the WiiU.

The WiiU actually killed the profits the 3DS made last year and we don't even know if Nintendo will have an overal yearly profit.

I was about to post how I havent seen that stupid ass image in a long time but then I properly read your post.

Honestly, I'll get Smash WiiU but I'm not that hype anymore. 3DS version and the prospect of having no one to play with locally killed it.
I'm looking much more forward to the 2015 releases, especially Splatoon, Zelda U and for some weird reason, Captain Toad.

I think I just crave something comfy and laid back after Hyrule Warriors, Bayonetta and Smash on my WiiU
>>
>>270324698
Nintendo isn't becoming anything of the sort. /v/'s fanbase may have deluded itself into thinking there is some sort of DUR HUR PC NINTENDO MASTER RACE but 99% of PC gamers could not care less about the Wii U.

The people who are saying they do are people who don't play PC and are looking for any reason to discredit the PS4's library. Wii U doesn't have those games BUT IT DOESN'T MATTER BECAUSE THEY'RE ON PC

It does matter bro. Every game that skips the Wii U is another game for the competition.
>>
>>270324694
>selling 2-3x better than the year before
>not turned around

The Gamecube still did well regardless of the PS2 sales.
>>
>>270324187
I'm in a similar boat.
don't care about Mario Kart
don't care about Smash bros
don't care about Capn Toad
don't care about Splatoon
don't care about Monster Hunter
don't care about Yoshi, or Kirby

I'm looking forward to Xenoblade, Star Fox might be neat, and I'll probably pick up NES Remix pack as long as it's cheaper than the downloads or has significant extras

AGain you idiots are focused on sales numbers, not profit. PROFIT IS WHAT FUCKING MATTERS TO COMPANIES.

PS4 = Sells a burrito for $0.75. Cost to creat burrito = $1
Xbone = Sells a chimichanga for $1. Cost to create = $2.
Wii U = Sells a taco for for $0.50. Cost to create taco $0.25.

Burritos may sell more than tacos but every taco sold is a profit.


>>270324776
Listen to what you're saying. The 3DS alone was not enough for Nintendo to post proits last year. This quarter (April-Sept) Nintendo posted profits thanks to Mario Kart 8 and the hype surrounding its other titles and game releases (Hyrule + Bayo 2)
>>
is super mario 3d world a successor to mario 64/galaxy style gameplay or more like paper mario?

Just because it's selling more than it wasn't selling at all doesn't mean its current sales are acceptable.

When your competition is quintupling your sales every week, you are not doing alright. Especially after being the market leader last generation.

>>270325052
You do realize that every game sold gives more profits to the PS4's initial investment, right?

The fact that the PS4 has nearly 50% marketshare means the following:

More games sold
More profit
More games being made

PS4 is making Sony more money than the WiiU is making Nintendo. The only difference is that Nintendo ONLY makes games. Sony makes a lot of other stuff and THOSE (like the mobile phones) are making losses.

A console is saved if it turns a profit.

Sony did it months ago with the PS4. Nintendo is just NOW doing it with the Wii U thanks to Mario Kart 8 and friends.

This is good life advice.

why buy a wii-u now?

nintendo has shit tier online

If you buy a wii-u in 3-4 years, it will have all its games and be cheaper.

It's exactly like the gamecube.

Well except it's underpowered and hardly has any real interesting games yet.
>>
>>270325651
>It's exactly like the gamecube.
>using this as a negative
Stop.
>>
>>270325703
It's exactly like the gamecube in that:

It's got poor third party support (even poorer in the wii-u's case)

It's not the most powerful console (xbox was way ahead and this time the wii-u is the worst)

It's got shit online, hardly any nintendo games feature good online functions

The games that come out are sparse, but often decent

Although unlike the gamecube, the wii-u hasn't really had any interesting titles beyond bayonetta 2 so far.


Really, there's no reason to buy a wii-u now.
>>
>>270325703
if you're talking about business, 'it's like the gamecube' is a negative.
>>
>>270325651
Same reason why anyone buys new stuff To enjoy it NOW. What if you die tomorow and never get a chance to play all these awesome vidya? That's sad if you think abouit it.

You're forgetting one thing though. Nintendo games rarely drop in value and, in some cases, their value increases This is one of Nintendo's core tenants of why they keep their video game prices relatively the same for longer periods of time than other publishers. So that consumers don't feel jewed.

If you don't like a console because the video games don't interest you then why bother with it.

>>270325906
People sometimes forget that the Gamecube was profitable for Nintendo.
>>
>>270325906
The GameCube made tons of money for Nintendo, if you're using that as a negative then you're a moron.

>>270325872
I can summarize most of your points as:
>"in my opinion" X
>>
>>270325983
It objectively has poor third party support.

It objectively is the weakest console

It objectively has poor online.

The games that come out for it are objectively sparse in comparison to other consoles.

objectively false.
>>
>>270323943
I don't own any consoles from this gen, but I have wanted to pick at least one up pretty much since the Wii U came out. None of them have managed to actually interest me enough, though. Had MH4 come to Wii U, I would have jumped on that immediately, but it didn't. MK8 was the first thing I saw that really jumped out at me, were I not a lazy and poor piece of shit I would have bought one at that point.

Maybe it didn't cause a huge boom in sales, but it turned heads. Smash will, too.
>>
>>270326131
>The point of businesses is to grow
>not making money
Don't get into business.
>>
>>270323943
How did MK8 save the WiiU? It's still in an absolutely horrible position. WiiU will start losing even more ground once the other 2 consoles get their good exclusives.
>>
Pokemon is going to cannibalize sales of Smash U though, especially considering people "already bought it" on the 3DS.
>>
>>270326268
>selling 2-3X better

That's not the issue with 3rd parties devs. Regardless of what they say, it has nothing to do with sales figures or the consumer base. It's all politics.
>>
>>270326360
>Regardless of what they say, it has nothing to do with sales figures or the consumer base. It's all politics
I can't understand why people don't understand this? For reference: See Wii
>>
>>270326194
It objectively has poor third party support entirely.

It objectively is the weakest eighth generation console.

It objectively has poor online services in comparison to other eighth generation consoles.

The games that come out for it are sparse in comparison to other consoles.

There is no reason not to get a wii-u in a few years when the software is cheaper, all the software is out, the console is cheaper and nintendo are done with it.

This is because the Wii-U will have less games than the competition and a poor online selection, which gives no real reason to play it now.
>>
Here's a couple of sources to back up claims btw. I mistakenly thought /v/ already knew about this and posted under the assumption that everyone knew the Wii U was saved thanks to Mk8

>>270326074
1. Third party support is weak but that's to be expected on any Nintendo console. It makes little difference.

2. Weakest console shouldn't be listed here. THe 3DS is without a doubt weaker than the PSVita. So was the DS and Wii before that. See where I'm heading with this?

3. Online is free. There's a trade off and free is better for children than paying subscriptoins.

4. Quality over quantity.

>>270326575
Competiting consoles will get tons of third party games that feature massive online functions that justify owning a console in the present for.

The wii-u will get none of this apart from 1-2 minor releases.

There is simply no reason to own a wii-u when all the games will be actually out, cheaper, the system will be cheaper and actually worth it in a few years time when nintendo abandon it.

Nintendo having less games and a barebones online service compared to the competition are facts, not opinions.

Why don't we use the videogame industry to illustrate my point. Do you remember the Halo-killers? How about the WoW killers and CoD killers? What did they all have in common? They were all (with few exceptions) games made by ambitious developers/publishers who decided to grab new audiences instead of focusing on their existing customer bases. How many succeeded? How many dragged their studio down? Hiw many of those developers might have survived had they focused on serving their existing customer bases?

No spin. Just facts. Nintendo jews consumers, but they do so in a way that consumres don't feel jewed. Get it? Nintendo has DLC (jew tactics) but they release them with just enough content that consumers don't feel jewed. See Mario Golf + Mario Kart 8 DLC packages for recent examples

>>270327560

>>270327407
Nintendo actually relies on money from software sales to stay outof red numbers. Judging by the last reports they do a good job at it.
>>
>>270327358
It was also critically panned and fan outcry buried the franchise. Plus the price actually dropped the first year, and that almost never happens with first party Nintendo games.

>>270327407
Not that guy, but Nintendo games are the only games I'm willing to pay full price for anymore because I know the price stays high. The free market determines the price here.

Wii U is fucked because nintendo have lost all their core audience by routinely fucking up their consoles in some ways.

Look at literally every other Metroid game on the site. The only one that scored lower is the port of the original. For a franchise as known for its quality as Metroid, this IS a critical panning. It's a matter of perception, the bar is that high.

DLC is not bad on its own, expansion packs and additional content made after release are good dlcs for example.
>>
>>270328108
Evidence?

N64 lost market dominance to sony

the audience most likely flocked to ps1, then to ps2 or xbox as gamecube failed, then to 360 or ps3 as the wii was a casual magnet.

The wii u is last batch of diehard nintendo fans unwilling to admit that nintendo have no relevance in the console market any more

No, you literally have no idea how vidya economics work. Consoles (and hardware in general) themselves companies generally make little cash on--the ps4 costs about 380 bucks to make. What consumers buy for their consoles is where money is made. Online subscriptions, games, movies, whatever, that's where they make the money.

The WiiU needs to move more units so that people will buy the influx of games that's coming out within in the next year. MarioKart did not move nearly enough units (I think it had like 700k sales last I checked??? and very little correlated wiiU sales) for the WiiU to be a profitable console, given almost every single WiiU game is an in house Nintendo project and they probably aren't making their money back on all games.

You picked out reviews above par. You know how averages work, they pull the avg. closer to themselves. Prime, Echoes and Corruption scored in the 90s. Expectations for Metroid are and were sky high, which is why a 79 average across all review sites is unacceptable.

Sorta like Destiny, except Other M has redeeming features.

The Eshop has sales quite often though. Third parties have sales. Nintendo has sales.

No, they retain their value longer. AAA sales are all front loaded sales. Nintendo's tradition is in lifetime sales. One method isn't inherently better than the other but that's how both work.

I think when you compare it to the PS4 it probably is. I don't think you're silly enough to compare to last gen tho.

We're still a long way from knowing how well the Wii U will sell. Remember how poorly the PS3 sold the first two years of its life? You probably don't because most people remember how well it turned out in the end.

The boost we're talking about is over a 6 month period. Not 1 month.

Listen the merits of a "living" conse is not found in the Wii U. You make it seem.like the worst selling mario kart of all time means something.

Will that really fix the consoles issue of being severely underpowered for its price point?

Will it fix its terrible sales?

Will it make third parties give a shit about it again?

Will it make Wii U owners like me have to wait less time for a single good game to comes out, where often there's a 4 month waiting period?

The answers to all the above is no, and you can tell Nintendo is getting desperate by selling the 3D world minigame as something notable. They are on their wits end, and part of me wont be surprised if Nintendo discontinues the console in early 2016.
>>
>>270324650
I didn't see your comment until now. I just thought that on ewas silly and referred to the idea of Megaman being in Smash would be enough on its own as opposed to the game in its entirety.
>>
>>270329497
>The Eshop has sales quite often though.
No it fucking doesn't, every other platform (steam, PSN, XBL) has discounted prices every single day, while we're lucky to see a weak sale every month or so, and even then after the sale the prices go right back up, unlike elsewhere where the prices actually are permanently lowered once in a while.
>One method isn't inherently better than the other but that's how both work.
How isn't it inherently better for the people buying games if the prices go down? Trying to argue what is better for a company just makes you look like a drone.

which is why bayonetta 2 sold less than the xbox 360 version of bayonetta 1 in japan, right?

Which is why nintendo have metal gear solid 5, final fantasy xv and bloodborne coming out on the wii u, right?

I don't own any of the next gen consoles by the way.

>mfw the Wii U finishes dead last
>mfw it has the best exclusives of the gen
>/v/ pulls a 180 saying that multiplats count as PS4 exclusives in a desperate attempt for damage control
It has already begun.

>Why?
I already explained why.

>I can keep it to show to others that they should keep away.
That would imply you have friends or any person that would choose to be around you. Which is false.

>>270330947
Not that guy, but you make Nintendo fans look pretty bad with your sperging.
>>
>>270330894
Funny because yakuza ishin and omega quintet sold even worse on ps4
Why don't sonyggers support japanese games?
>>
>>270330947
But the Vita has more sales, so im not sure what you mean or how your childish banter is related to the Wii U.

You are quite literally acting like a 10 year old and butchering latin. Are you from some uneducated shit hole?
>>
>>270331005
Ironic. In all honesty, the quality, or the fake quality you give the games is irrelevant. Support is support, and the Vita gets more.
>>
>>270331085
They would if Japanese games were relevant anymore, which they almost aren't.
>>
>>270331021
Yeah I wonder how well those games will sell compared to japanese games on Nintendo systems
protip: Pokemon X: 11 millions copies sold

I have plenty of friends, a sweet job, a vacation coming up. Im not trying to make people stay away, they do it themselves when they see it at my house and use it for an hour.

The only issue I have really is theres nothing really good about the console. No one missing out on anything by it not owning it.

Just sell it man.

>For a portable, the 3DS sis well for it self (see Super Street Fighter 4 3D)
>Iwata is fixing it, blame the European retail market as the digital market has been fixed.
>There is a battery that improves it to 5-8 hours.
>So does the Xbox One which both can use USB drives.
Amazon has the games 10-20 or so dollars off, check there.
>Call Of Duty & Madden do the same thing, Nintendo and their 1st/2nd parties just do a much better job then Activision & EA.
>They have stopped doing that.
>Most of Miiverse is over 18, there are very few people under 12 and if any pedos show up in Miiverse Nintendo will ban you and call whoever thats needed to put you in jail.
>50% fake, It's loads better then the DS & Wii's online and Iwata is fixing the later.
>Blame the lack of ram.
>The Wii did have more VC goodness but that is not enough of a excuse to call the E-Shop a wasteland with such gems on it like Shovel Knight, DuckTales remastered and Shantae and the Pirate's Curse; Also VC games that are much cheaper then it's original version like with Earthbound ($10 on VC vs $150 SNES), MegaMan V ($5 on VC vs $48-100 on GB depending on the shape of the cart) MegaMan X2 ($8 on VC vs $61-120 on SNES) MegaMan X3 ($8 on VC vs least $81 on SNES, PS1 version is around that price but a little cheaper when the Saturn version is half the SNES'/PS1's price), Shantae ($5 on VC when at least $250 on GBC) and Demon's Crest ($8 on VC when at least $90 on SNES).
>Amazon is the only place that is doing price drops on 1st party retail software, it is over priced compare to Amazon.
>At least theres less shovelware.
>The PS4 & Xbone are also outdated as well.
>The screens that the New 3DS uses are 800x480 & 640x480 and they run at half the rez by using new switching tech made by Sharp ( https://gbatemp.net/threads/new-3ds-scanlines-effect-present.372578/ ).
>Again, The PS4, PS Vita & Xbone do the same thing too.
>They don't do it that much, they only use it as much as needed.
>>
>>270331109
>But the Vita has more sales

It doesn't the WiiU is selling faster
Why don't sonyggers support the shita? Why do they only support COD? I'm just asking but you will probably answer me with insults like an autisic kid
>>
>>270331221
How is pokemon relevant to the wii u? How is a low quality childrens game any merit towards something good?
>>
>>270324373
Do poeple like you actually understand that marketing costs money? That's one of the reasons Sony has such an enormous loss every year.

It's Nintendo's decisions, if they want to sell less units but also spend less money on marketing, that's fine.

Your retarded "sales" aren't everything.
>>
>>270331272
The only person you're trying to prove is yourself.

You seem to be failing.
>>
>Bayo 2. 10/10 GOTY
>Xbone got good reviews on sunset, fun game
>PC getting VC port
>Ps4 has a HD version of TLOU

Sony is in 4th place. We all know it. And the sony fags keep crying. It's been downhill for them since e3. The tears are wonderful.
>>
>>270331358
>BUT IT DOESNT COUNT

Why sony had to pay for Bloodborne?
>>
>>270331221
Are you defending pokemon games?

They're the epitome of nintendo's rehash culture kiddy shit child-magnet cash grabbing shovelware.
>>
>>270331387
>Xbox One + Wii U win
Excellent.
>>
>>270323943
Normally I'd continue crossing shit out on that list, but I honestly think Smash will have at least the same, if not bigger, impact than Mario Kart 8 primarily for the fact that it's been way more hyped up. If Smash Bros won't boost Wii U sales by at least as much as Mario Kart 8, then I'd say nothing else can save the Wii U. At least I've been having fun on it and will continue doing so for another 4 (at least) years to come.

>>270325454
There are TV ADs for the PS4 like 24/7, even for 7/10 games. Of course it sells.

Marketing is also fucking expensive, though. Sony isn't really winning anything here. At the same Nintendo the Wii U might sell like shit but NIntendo isn't spending fucking anything on marketing in comparison.

Look at how you type, you aren't even reading it. Are you from Finland? I heard that place breeds unfathomable stupidity.

I dont think anyone should even bother with you, you type like Chris chan and make Nintendo fans looks like shit slinging monkeys. Please do everyone a favor and drink bleach, the board will be better off.

>>270331381
Why would I need to prove reality to myself?

>>270330023
Yes... bloodbourne. But what else are you going to buy? Are you just buying a console for 1 game?
>>
>>270331578
Keep telling yourself that buddy.
>>
>>270331524
>nothing to answer
>insult only

That's my shitards
The WiiU has 7 japanese games that sold at least 1 million copies
The shita has 0
Why is that? Why the audience who doesn't like COD abandonned sony?
>>
>>270331524
You do realize you only posted a personal attack with no real relevance to the conversation you're having right?

Shitty expensive controller peripheral gimmick forced into games that don't need it half the time

Online is very poor for a modern console

The majority of the consoles games and nintendo's for that matter are kiddy games

The games as of yet have been relatively meh in reality, pikmin 3, TW101, 3Dworld, DKCTF were all games that failed to be that great in all honesty.

The only games that are really worth it are currently mario kart 8 and bayonetta 2.

The console is very underpowered for a modern console.

The console is STILL region locked, Nintendo are just backwards.

The third party support is little-to-none, and exists primarily of poorly made seventh-generation ports that everyone has already played.

The support from indie developers likewise, is relatively small, and no real noteable titles besides maybe "Gone Home" are present or coming to the console.

The games themselves, like all of Nintendo's games also often fail to diminish in price at most locations, which can put a new buyer off.

The console seems expensive for hardware which is very outdated.

The games coming out for it are inredibly sparse, and it has been that way throughout the majority of the consoles life.

Really the only titles coming for the system worth even considering now are Smash, Zelda U, Starfox and Xenoblade chronicles X, the Wii-U just doesn't have much else going for it.

And the problem of third party absence means that there is nothing to fill the gap, the Wii-U is a monumental waste of time and signals that Nintendo should just go third party already.
