Power…. last time power did not mean shit compared to what the machines do back then, the Wii U can do many things without having the latest tech in it but your to stupid to know that with the fact that now people are just getting what they want now because of being “powerful” and giving you something new because of it, hell no they want you to think that. And your an adult but don’t act like one so grow the fuck up and get on with your job and stop complaining about a console because that just kiddie/nostalgic crap coming from a dumass like you.

cater to adults? Not to this adult, last time i played Nintendo games was in the early 90s when i was 13-15 years old

I absolutely dont care about no kiddie/nostalgic crap like the mario, zelda, metroid, kirbey and the rest, its BORING.

Consoles are about power, and always been, people were waiting for new generations to get better spec to experience NEW things.
The main problem with wiiU is that it wont give me anything different from what can be done on PS360.

And dont mention the gimmick gamepad, there is a reason why cars use the same wheel, because it works

Next stop: REAL online, 2018 is just around the corner

Actually, I’m not that much of an action guy (I just used it in an example), I’m more into rpg and open world sandbox stuff, I also like stories and characters, which Nintendo gives you nothing of. For me a real game is a complete package (or close enough to complete); it has to have a story (not necessarily a GREAT one), good characters, good gameplay, graphics is very much appreciated but not a MUST. So like I said Nintendo gives you good gameplay only, that’s like 1/3, which is not good enough for me

Sounds like you’re a real action junkie, which is alright 😉 Thing is some games are just plain fun to play.. And if you take a good look at Mario Bros. U, and compare it to all the previous ones you’ll see it has evolved quite a bit with more complicated mechanics (like moving coins, enemies reacting to music dynamic backgrounds and a lot more) the gameplay has gotten smoother with also more power ups, modes to play in, challenges, DLC, etc. It’s gotten a lot more advanced also! But because it’s accessible for a lot of people it isn’t as obvious as with the more intense games. It’s quite an achievement to make a game pretty complicated but still easy to pick up and quickly learn.
Besides that, if you describe mario games as abstract as a guy jumping on turtles and collecting coins, you could change your epic nukes, planes, explosions and slo-mo of shooters to just a bunch of guys running around in a confined simulation trying to kill each other the most times before a timer runs out, which is even more detailed.. Actually: It’s just 10 guys running around shooting at eachother.. 😉

You said something about “Real Gaming”.. what does that mean? Is your definition of real gaming gaming with the highest possible graphics? or just shooters? or shooters and rpgs? or does it depend on the amount of time you spend on it? If you look at some of the greatest games in history they weren’t great because of the graphics or power behind it, but because of their concept, new things they brought, gameplay, and most importantly how fun it was to play. Halo was great because it revolutionized the way you played a shooter, not because of its graphics or power, COD and Battlefield are a great franchises because of their well built multiplayer and gameplay mechanics, Fable was great because of it’s gameplay mechanics and choices, Uncharted was great because of the great playing out the story concept, Journey was awesome because of it’s serenity and mysteriousness. Minecraft is a great game purely because of the fun gameplay. Assasins Creed, Tomb Raider, Prince of persia, Borderlands, Total War, Age of Empires, The Elder Scrolls, Mass Effect, GTA, Half Life, Portal, Bioshock, Tekken, Street Fighter, God of War, Fallout, and Final Fantasy, the list goes on and on: Great games are first and foremost great because they are really fun and engaging to play and graphics and power are just supporting it. Real Games are fun to play that’s what’s making it a game so real games don’t belong on any device, they belong with gamers, a real game is a game that’s being played and enjoyed by someone.

Difference is they’re advanced, when what you repeat is nukes, jumping from planes, blasting through doors in slo-mo, epic set-pieces, etc. then it’s kinda ok (and I’m not a big fan of COD btw). But when what you repeat is some guy jumping on turtles and collecting coins, then that is SOOO not ok, what is this the 80s?

I know you didn’t say about the Wii not being revolutionary I was just stating that the way in which the Wii was revolutionary is the same way the Wii U is. When Nintendo do something revolutonary it doesn’t mean it’s going to be a powerhouse, it means it’ll revolutionise the way we play. And yes most Mario games look the same (to be fair there are games like Mario Galaxy which is completely different to the Super Mario Bro’s series) but how is that any different to all the ‘hardcore’ games like the Call of Duty series?

Nintendo have been in the gaming industry around about 30 years and they’re still going strong, Microsoft and Sony are just barely hanging on, Sony won’t last long enough to reach PS5. Nintendo is gaming they cater to children, they cater to teenagers, they cater to adults. I’m guessing you only got into gaming last gen with the 360/PS3 and think any game without guns and explosions is childish. It’s been proven since the beginning of the gaming industry that the most powerful console is hardly ever the best, it’s not the power it’s what you do with it. The Wii was weaker than the PS3/360 but it was a hell of a lot more enjoyable to play. My suggestion to you is grow up and stop thinking power means good games.

Dude, I didnt say revolutionary about the wii, I said it about the WiiU.
And, I dont see how the Wii is revolutionary for having made Grandpa and Grandma pick up a stick and start waving it. Sorry man, I respect your opinion but Nintendo came up with some good ideas in the 90s and have been living off them till now, for christ’s sake every Mario game almost looks exactly the same. I just feel that REAL gaming is now for PlayStation and Xbox gamers

Wow, you didn’t do any research, did you? First of all, the Gamecube was more powerful than the PS2 and Dreamcast. Second of all, you describe Nintendo in terms that would mean it’s for kids around 6-8, yet Microsoft’s going for kids who are 1-5. The Wii U is better than the PS3 and Xbox 360, just suck it up, and finally, it sounds like you’re venting YOUR problems on not having a job and living in a closet, because no sane person who can hold down a job would type something like that and take THEIR PREFERRED VIDEO GAME SYSTEM seriously.
