No, but even when Nintendo was trying to sell the Wii they still had the sense to release Twilight Princess on the Gamecube.

If BotW comes out for the Wii U, it will be after no new Wii U games have been released for a minimum of three months. That's not releasing a game at the end of a system's lifespan, that's taping a fork to a corpses hand and jabbing it in a wall outlet to see if you can wake it up.

They aren't interested in any other games and have some extra closet space they're looking to fill for the next 12-?? months?

All the theoretical grandmas confused by the name Wii U eventually figured it out and bought one just for the new Zelda game.

Steve2911 posted:Other than massive technical problems it's actually really good. Games with massive technical problems aren't "really good." The story, such as it is, is also pretty poorly executed. There's just not much about the game to like that the trailers didn't already give you. It really feels like a game where they didn't really know what the game part was going to be when they first showed it on the PS3, but too many people were excited about it to cancel the thing.

Lol, a new Wii U costs 300 dollars. It's basically guaranteed that at launch, a Switch will cost less than a Wii U.

Breath of the Wild was announced in 2013 and footage was introduced in 2014. I could see buying a WiiU at that time, in anticipation of the game, and being a little annoyed that now you don't get it. I'd believe it if someone says it stings to lose the options to "spend 60 for Zelda on a console I already have" vs "spend over 300 for a new console and the game." It's likely there are players who don't plan on getting the Switch right away. But this is all from the customer's perspective, I totally get why Nintendo would cancel the WiiU one. Otherwise the original game announcent was almost 4 years ago and that's a long time. People have probably (hopefully) bought other WiiU games since then.

Which is TOTALLY up my alley, the only real complaint is I wish it was faster. Also that the art style was nice but WHATRRUGONNADO

FPzero posted:https://twitter.com/GameArtHQ/status/809410575386157057 Well, it could be a hoax. I mean, we are going with a Japanese blog that only has one (1) post and it's the one talking about the cancellation. Not exactly hard-hitting games journalism. EDIT: I mean come on, they're still listing the Wii U version in (Japanese) Amazon, unlike what the blog posting says.

I'll be upset but not devastated if it gets dropped. More bummed that I got a Wii u last year and should've just waited for the switch. Especially since it seems like all of the good games are getting ported. At least I got TMS since it doesn't seem like that'll get a port. I sorta wish that other games would drop in price. I'd be happy to play color splash since there's nothing left but there's no way I'm dropping 60 on it.

Did everyone miss that zelda has been exclusively shown running on the wii u ever since e3? A completed version of BOTW for wii u exists. There is literally no reason not to release it. What is infinitely more likely is that the wii u physical version has been cancelled. Nintendo needs to devote all of their resources towards producing Switches and there's no way for them to know how many wii u owners will buy it for that console. I can definitely see them going download-only.

There weren't even any Black Friday Wii U deals. Stores can't drop the price on Wii U stuff because they don't remember it exists.

To the point that they couldn't drop the price without selling it at a loss?

There is literally no reason not to release it. That would make more sense, especially if it was a Japan-only move given that none of the usual suspects (Liam, Emily, etc.) have heard anything of the sort coming from the western branches. Anyone know what exactly the piece of paper in the blog post says?

Motto posted:who cares about exclusives, less people being able to play it wouldn't have made nier automata any better that's not really the point The wii u is the only one of the current consoles with more than one or two games worth buying that I can't get on my pc. My PS4 is a paperweight that only sticks around for the time between console and PC releases of fighting games at this point.
