Pachter Says “Why Would Anybody Buy A Wii U?”

wii_u_back

Controversial Wedbush Morgan analyst Michael Pachter believes that Nintendo is currently in a world of trouble. Pachter cites the lack of third-party support for the company’s latest home console, coupled with the looming release of the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, as a problem that Nintendo doesn’t seem able to fix. Pachter genuinely questions why anyone would choose to buy a Wii U at this point in time.

“The publishers are pretty excited to support the Xbox One and the PS4 – they really didn’t say anything about the Wii U. And we know EA has no games in development for Wii U. If Activision pulls support; if you see Ubisoft , you see Take-Two pull support, the Wii U is a Nintendo-only gaming device which is what they were back with the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985. They’re not going to sell a lot of consoles if they don’t have games like FIFA and Battlefield and Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto. Due to that, Pachter asks a simple rhetorical question: “Why would anybody buy a Wii U?”

      1. Firstly, even under those circumstances, people would buy a Wii U to play the seven hundred thousand IPs Nintendo has exclusive access to.
        Second, it’s the chicken and the egg. Nintendo made the mistake of not releasing any strong first party games up to this point because they didn’t want to alienate third parties. Nuts to that. Once the strong first party games start rolling out, the console will become popular. Then third parties will want a slice of the pie. Let them go, for now. They’ll come crawling back.
        Third, days of the NES? Have you heard of Capcom? Konami? Etc etc.
        Fourth, piss off Hackter

          1. I’m American and prefer Japanese companies. I can say some American companies are great, like Retro Studios(is based in America) and others, But most are money hungry companies who don’t even care what they make. I plan to change this.

          2. HAHAHAHA looks who talking about ignorant and stupidity the moron who plays only Zelda and Mario and who think that everything had invented by Nintendo

            1. Actually when i was 6 that is exactly what i thought. (grew up right before the N64 ages) My brother only had Nintendo games and Nintendo system so thats what i grew up with. Thats why i love Nintendo games. :P it reminds me of my childhood and my childhood was very very happy. :D (its not that happy anymore );)

          3. supporting American companies is good for our economy. Lol, there is nothing stupid about that. Unfortunately, when it comes to video games I cannot act for my own country, because the xbox is just that worthless to me, but its a matter of supporting ones country when they prefer to buy from their own country.

        1. The NES was the system that had the most 3rd party support including EA. He is also wrong about Ubisoft not having games all except Crew (and the other one) are coming and there allot of signs COD: Ghosts is coming, along with other Activistion games. Disney is showing support. Sega has games coming. Capcom has a few eShop games. I expect some more Japanese suppost with be announced at the Tokyo Show in the fall. Its not perfect by any means, but there is definitely 3rd party support for the christmas season.

          Also, we can’t forget the smaller independent games that are coming.

          1. Troll news as usual lol. Flamebait’s r us. Over on player essence, we got news of all wiiu’s new games running 1080p 60fps. Not only that, but the graphics r proving to be next gen very close to ps4, but you wont hear that from trolls, go on over n check. Nobody wants Nintendo to be like sony n ms anyway lol.

            1. If in fact this is great news but having games to prove that are almost nonexistent, i just preordered a ps4, am pretty sad but it but the game types i want for my self 1either there’s none comming in foreseeable future, 2 not coming at all….

            1. Yet you have Mass Effect 3, Black Ops 2, Assassin’s Creed III, Need for Speed: Most Wanted U, Sonic and Sega All Stars Racing: Transformed and not to mention Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate all have online Multiplayer… Problem troll?

        2. thank you. hackter is a just plain stupid the nes and snes had some of the best third party support and helped some of theses companies become what they are

        3. thousands you say,

          Mario (platform, Kart)
          Zelda
          Donkey Kong
          Metroid
          Kirby
          Advance Wars
          Luigi
          Pikmin
          Xenoblade
          Star Fox
          Animal Crossing

          thats eleven, twelve when you count Mario Kart, you cannot just say Nintendo have millions of IP’s when many have failed or only appeared on the Gameboy or something else just the once.

          Nintendo have about fifteen solid IP’s & that’s all.

          Patcher is right Nintendo screwed up, big time this gen, or should that be last gen ?

        4. This moron is only taking american developers in account funny thing is i don’t care for any of those games as long as japanese developers keep supporting the wii u and i think a lot of people didn’t buy their wii u for cod or fifa

    1. Uhh hello! i wud bye a wii 2u becuase it has a screne on the controler liek a tablit and now i dont have 2 bye a ipad 4 or ipad miny becuase the wii u gamepad is beter than ios and andriod combind!!!!

            1. He’s a common troll who thinks having spelling errors gives him super trolling powers. I’ve seen someone like him before, pitiful being he is.

          1. You know what i find disgusting? The fact that you’re impersonating this innocent kid and taking the piss out of him. Get a life.

    2. lol it’s kinda scary knowing that this is all you do with what little life you most likely have.

      1. dudefreak919@yahoo.com

        Patcher always “right”

        He’s the one who said the DS would kill Nintendo
        He’s the one who said 3DS would kill Nintendo
        and he’s also the one who said Wii would kill Nintendo

        And what happened? Wii was the best selling console than the 360 and PS3
        and 3DS is currently the best selling handheld console, selling better than everything else(including PS4 and Xbox One preorders)

        So you keep believing that

        1. SherlockWillFightBilbo

          He’s right AT THE TIME of saying it. Obviously there’s no way Pachter, or anyone by that matter, could’ve predicted how well the 3DS would do. The 3DS was crap at the beginning, and I bought it first day. $250 with the main selling point being a gimmick and having no first-party games. We’re only NOW getting our 3DS Zelda.
          He’s right WHEN he’s saying what he says.

          1. He’s a bought and paid for douche bag. His job is to say anything Anti-Nintendo. Don’t defend a douch bag, it’s just wrong.

          2. He only sounds right because of the current situation which can turn around for better or worse and as far as his past “predictions” go with Nintendo, he’s been proven wrong many times over more than you can count. He’s no psychic or god to read anyone or anything’s future. I’m not defending Nintendo at the same time. Yes they made mistakes with Wii U according to advertising it to the public and partners but the 3rd party solely abandoned the Wii U for one reason only: Same old inexcusable “underpowered” fanboyism BS they also played from the original Wii days. Like what Reggie recently said “PS2 was underpowered in its days but became the top selling console in history because of its fantastic library of games” and he was right. Its the amazing and original games alone that takes full advantage of the hardware sells the consoles in the end because it is its sole purpose. Wii U right now is struggling because of hardly any good games same problem went with 3DS, PS3 and even the Vita is heavily plagued.

            1. SherlockWillFightBilbo

              Exactly. That’s the job of any analyst. You can’t expect ANY analyst to be right, EVER, because they’re not psychic, like you said. He will always predict things wrong but that’s the job requirement.

              1. If he’s not psychic, then he should stop predicting bullshit! Simple!
                Don’t you see that he NEVER says anything bad about Microsoft or Sony? If you can’t see that, then you’re full of it.

                1. Where is Pachter’s apology for Wii, DS or 3DS? Because he “predicted” they would flop and all three ended up being the top earning consoles of their generation.
                  And now, with all the controversy surrounding PS4 and specially XBONE, exactly what justifies all these “analysts” proclaiming their triumph?
                  Nothing, because they weren’t even announced when they were already supposedly beating Wii U, and now that they have NO system sellers and almost no exclusives, plus are surrounded by controversy (PSN, Spynect), and are launching at high prices in a decadent economy, exactly how is the promise of a huge ram trumping over the affordability and accessibility of Nintendo and PC?
                  There’s nothing to back this retard’s claims, he’s a Sonysoft paid peon, attempting pathetically to sway the market’s opinion over these new consoles that are obviously not garnering the hype the companies intended, it’s a basic marketing technique, and any intelligent consumer should see the bullshit in his words.
                  How strange that this is coming right after Wii U’s sales got a 50% raise.

              2. The job of an analyst is also to stay current and to be logical.
                Nothing Pachter says is ever right, NOTHING, because he’s never willing to accept simple truths.
                Wasn’t he predicting the triumph of XBONE when the console hadn’t even announced yet? Exactly how is that responsible journalism?
                I always said it, Wii U would eventually pick up on its own terms, the same terms Wii and GC did, but what exactly was warranting all the clamor over PS4 and XBONE? Nothing.
                “Analysts” are a joke, their only job is over-hyping whatever they get paid the most for, and when truth comes then they don’t want to face it.
                CoD and Fifa are not system sellers, ask PS360, and sure as hell are not Nintendo system sellers.

            2. I mean you haven’t been really looking at the other games Wii U has have you, your just looking at games like CoD which are very much over rated and bland by every game, remember the Wii U just started it’s year what makes you think it can’t make a comeback it’s sad to have someone such as yourself gullible and will believe what any person says instead of your own opinion, another thing the ps4 and xbox one don’t have a huge library now do they i’ve only saw about 6 third party games for each and 2 first party along with other games that are still available for the ps3 and xbox 360 plus, the ps4 and xbox one, are very expensive consoles at this time, if you think about it times are rough for people in america so purchasing a console that’s 400$ and 500$ is a perfect price range that’s ridiculous for just a simple ram upgrade which cost like 30$ in Q3 and Q4 of these seasons so many games will be released for the Wii U remember it is Nintendo what they do with hardware is a different story, but there the most pledged company to make the best games.

              1. Agreed, it’s funny how people are overlooking pikmin 3 and all the other games coming out very soon. People have been asking for a new Pikmin, and now that we have one, people will buy it.Gonna love to hear people say good things about the Wii U in fall.

            3. Pachter looks outside his window, and notices its raining… He rushes to his computer, calls up his buddies, and begins his rant= “Its raining outside! I bet you all didnt know that! You all need to rush to my buddy’s website and buy his Raincoats! They are the best! They have the best colors! His competition only has 10 colors, and he has 13! There is no comparison! Why would anyone want to buy their raincoats and not my friend’s? The cpompetition’s raincoats are dead in the water! All hail my friend’s raincoats! LOL. (What a dick).

          3. ocarina was first 3ds zelda game… it was in 3d and a well done remake, now if u mean original, then i partially understand ur issue.

          4. That’s the problem, though. He’s an analyst. It’s his job to predict what’s going to happen in the industry. Anyone can make an observation on what is currently happening. That’s called news. That’s the kind of site we’re visiting right now. Pachter is an analyst and his predictions are wrong a lot of the time. I’m not saying he’s always wrong, but I don’t think he’s all that great at his job.

          5. I knew the 3DS would do well. Systems always take awhile to catch on, even the DS did.

            No is pretty much wrong 100% of the time.

        2. Why does the article devs even post his crap. D: Its not like we care! O wait we do. :P It makes everyone and every troll have one thing in common. :D We all hate patcher. :D

      2. He’s right?
        If Fifa and CoD are such console sellers then why were the PS3’s and 360’s numbers so horrible?
        Exclusive content is what sells a console, and considering Nintendo has the most exclusives as of now, then yeah.

        1. How are they horrible though? The total sales of both systems are at around 80 million. I don’t consider that “horrible”.

  1. I dunno, maybe people still enjoy Nintendo games? Crazy thought huh?

    Better question is “Why would anybody listen to Pachter?”

    1. You took the words right out of my mouth sir.

      The guy is the worlds biggest cunt. Let’s see ; The worlds best and most famous exclusives. Check , Off TV play and browsing. Check , Miiverse . Check . Backwards compatability. Check . Outstanding indie support . Check .

      List goes on. Now i’m not bashing the PS4 or One (well actualy, FUCK the One…) but there is definitely reasons to buy the Wiiu. It’s hard to see the Wiiu selling well atm , but let us all wait until the likes of Sonic Lost world , Mario 3D world , Mario and Sonic , Smash bros , Zelda etc etc etc etc launch before we make Hasty judgments.

      Wiiu will sell about 40-50 Million in its 6 years. Anymore and I will be impressed!

      1. Off TV play – Who gives a shit, as if you ever make use of that. Unless you are unfortunate enough to live in a council house and only have one television between the whole house.
        Miiverse – Who gives a shit, just an excuse for mindless drones to draw pretty little pictures of princess peach. Can’t even get away with a slight nip slip without being banned.
        Backwards compatability – Cool, this is next gen, You still have the old console for your old games. Use it.
        Outstanding Indie support…Really, outstanding? I think indies just wanted to move to a newer platform. They’ll be at sony’s doorstep any minute now.
        PS4 – will have more games to buy in the first year than WII U. Shows how shitty a launch it had really.

        I expect the PS4 to sell more units than the WII u has now by the end of Q1 2014. Even the Xbox one will….

        P.S tell your mom i had a great night ;)

        1. I never said anything bad about PS4 or Xbox one , infact I specifically pointed that out in my comment , Pinprick.

          One of those PS4 sales will be to me. I have it pre ordered unlike your POOR ass.

          Off tv play ”nobody uses that trolol!” , how about I use it pretty much everyday I can. And I know most others do and will do.

          And finaly , I love it how you didn’t have a response to the best and most famous exclusives in the industry lol. Sure Sony has some AMAZING stuidios. But they still don’t amount to Nintendo. I dare someone to tell me they’d rather play Killzone , Infamous , Drive club and Knack over Mario Kart , Smash bros , Pikmin 3 , DKCTF , X etc…..

          1. ‘i like how you didn’t respond to…’ you didn’t respond to half the things i said! how rude! Were you taught any manners? Go back to the orphanage and get that whip cracked over your ass by mummy matron.

            You have your own preferences and opinions. People may prefer to play those first few games that you listed rather than those Nintendo exclushits.

            Also, i like it when you call me Pinprick, shows that I’m winding you up :) exactly what I’m here to dooooo !

            1. Hey pindick… heres my analysis of your ANAL-ysis. No one uses off tv play? LOL exposed troll. Banned on MIIverse for a swear word? Exposed troll. Only the comment gets scrapped, which is great for us normal fans, I know its a deal breaker for trolls lol, so thats another good thing to stay away from you sissies lol. Nintendo exclusives own sony’s Interactive movies lol. Matter of fact, take a picture of people playing Nintendo, you’ll see smiles all across the boards… Take pics of people playing sony, and it will be either pissed off from MP LAG, getting owned by other players, or puzzled faces wondering why letting another player invade your game to play it for you, is an important social feature LMAO… Or puzzled, because you 4got you originally wanted to play a game, only to find out its another movie LOL!!! Yeah… ps4 is so awesome, and WIIU sucks LOL!!!! Keep saying that to yourself pindick.

          2. in all fairness off tv play is so overrated! you can get decent hdtv’s or hd monitors for £100 to £150, which will always look miles better then the games do on the game pad screen, seriously, if it was fully hand held then fair enough, by would you bother when you could have a 3ds? i for one hardly ever use off tv play, i would much more have preferred Nintendo use the money that when into the game pad, to have made the wii u more powerful and make it more future proof, that way we still would have gotten all those great Nintendo first party games, and also for once, get proper third party support!

            Off tv play is laggy, i don’t care what anyone says, it has input lag, and terrible dead zones on the game pad, and that’s on wii u aa games, like Assassins creed 3, and blops 2, and many more, also the input lag makes the virtual console games difficult to play too, seriously, play the vc games on wii u for a bit, then play it on wii, or better yet the originals, or even play the wii u versions with the wiimote if its available, trust me you will notice the difference straight away, and if you don’t, your most likely one of those people who say 60fps is the same as 30fps, and that you cant tell the difference, LOLOL their are so many like this!

            Maybe its because i have been spoiled, and because i game on and own all platforms, maybe thats why i am more sensitive, but regardless, i think the wiimote and wii motion plus where much better then the gamepad!
            i would have much more preferred if the pro controller was the primary controller for wii u and if one came in every wii u box! also if they would have stuck to the wiimote, and improved it, skyward sword, and metroid prime trlogy proved that the wiimote and nunchuck and wiimotion plus where the closest you could get to mouse like pin point accuracy, while having a fluid control input with the nunchuck

            Playing off-screen i reckon is not used by many and is instead a minority, the whole idea of playing a aaa console game is to enjoy the experience fully on the big screen, and the game pad screen just does not do the games justice!
            Even Nintendo themselves are hardly supporting it,and just like 3d games on the 3ds, it seems Nintendo will most likely distance themselves from it!
            I have more then 3 hd screens in my house, and a hd gaming monitor, i live in my own house, with 2 kids and the wife, and i always have a hdtv to use for my gaming! the poor battery life is another thing which makes the game pad off screen gaming stupid! remember tis is just my opinion don’t cry babies!

            1. well, congratulations!, i only have one HDTV, you know, i live on a third world country, and tecnology here is not as cheap, as in America, soo great for you! :D!, nevertheless, Nintendo’s Market is not only America, but all the freaking fucking world, you don’t used offscreen? good for you!, and by the way, the lag is on the big screen, the pad actually render faster the game, that’s a fact (:

            2. Complete BULL SHIT ^ Off TV play has no noticeable lag what so ever.

              Guess what FUCK HEAD ? it has less latency than your TV does. So no , you’re wrong.

              1. @Nintendward

                FUCK OFF YOU PRICK!! go look at the countless forums where people are complaining, maybe is unnoticeable for u! but not for me! and your the fuck head u monkey! go eat some bananas!! my tv has 2ms latency and is a 120hz native refresh, so shut the FUCK UP!!! why are you acting like a rabid dog just because some one has a different opinion to you? Jesus are you 9 yrs old or what? adults are allowed to have different opinions you loser, if you cant engage in a adult conversation STAY THE FUCK OFF THE INTERNET! U FUCK FACE! you have obviously had too much Nintendo cock in your mouth blocking your view, and so your blinded, seriously where the fuck do you get off trying run your mouth up online? does it make your dick any bigger? NO IT DONT! pussy boy! you have no clue what tv i use, so dont assume, their is INPUT LAG ON THE GAME PAD THAT IS FACT!! how much varies from game to game, not all games are affected in a big way but some are!! maybe its bearable for you but not for me! so go eat more bananas and chill the fuck out!!

                Dont bother running your mouth up online, i live in east London, and would gladly meet up with you if you ever swing this way to kick some fucking sense into that massive melon you call a head! WANKER!! i save the big man talk for face to face gorilla boy!!
                Cant believe how people like you think its ok to talk shit online and swear at a person online for no reason OVER A PIECE OF PLASTIC!!! sweet lord give this guy a working brain!!

                1. Hypocrite much ? Your comment is full of CAPITAL LETTER SWEAR WORDS.

                  Stop making shit up. The latency worries were debunked completely when it was discovered the Gamepad was refreshing and responding quicker than pretty much any TV. So no , you don’t know what youre talking about. FUCK OFF , GOODBYE.

                2. There’s no lag between the output of the Wii U’s main display (TV) and the controller (GamePad). Mystery solved.

            3. Fucking lying ass troll! There is NO INPUT LAG, DEAD ZONES OR NONE OF THAT SHIT YOU DAM LYER LOL!!!! WOW KEEP TRYING LOL!!! How can there be lag when its playing EXACTLY what the console is playing, its a function the GPU boasts lol! You must be confusing the VITA’s remote function hahahaha!!!

          3. Denial seems to be setting in motion here. I use the off tv play A LOT too. Mii Verse is FAR better than anything Sony or Microsoft has created. His argument is pointless. We shall be playing Pikmin 3 next month!

        2. I think you just totally bashed on every other console such as the ps4 and xbox one you ignorant fool, backwards compatibility = awesome, MiiVerse = stop feeling so butt hurt that you can’t draw those outstanding pictures, off tv play = Next gen ideals, you have the full game portability experience and while being able to browse the internet watch netflix, hulu plus, and so much more other then your dulled eyes due to, to much t.v. radiation because you have to look at the television screen all day, instead of any moment you want. OH PS4’s ram upgrade 8gb yay!! and what else? and i wont tell my mom you had a great night until you ask your mom about her limp ;)

          1. What a half-assed response, you can’t even come up with a good reason why compatibility is so important. You still have your wii don’t you? Just use that… hardly that bigger deal. At least Sony and Microsoft are still SUPPORTING their previous consoles instead of shutting down all it’s features like the wii is. Don’t give me all that Hulu, netflix shit either. You can watch that shit with no problems on any piece of hardware. I don’t really care about keeping my game up at the same time…it’s not that big of a deal. PS4/Xbox One are probably faster too so you can get back to your game in just the same amount of time…

            1. And at the same time, your type frequently say that Nintendo should support the Wii U more than the Wii which they are doing now but now they should also support the Wii again?…

              Sonyans are always contradicting themselves, much like religious people…

            2. They have to, because some people don’t know what a Wii U is (they are idiots). I think they are shutting down most of the channels this month.

          2. @draginto how old r u? seriously bringing mums into it like a playground child, why bother? to make your self feel all gangsta and like a big man? wake up call your not, your just a internet keyboard wanksta, who most likely wouldn’t have the balls to say anything about some ones mum fact to face! fuking pussy is what u r!

            1. I know right =/ some people are so immature on this fucking blog. I totally agree with what you said in regards to off screen play by the way. It is an overated feature, and i believe it was way to ‘hyped’ by nintendo prior to the Wii U’s launch. every commercial was just like, ‘is your family going to watch sports? just switch to the game pad!’. Seriously, i rather just turn the game off completely rather than play it solely on the lag pad. Most people have more than just one screen in their house too lol.

              1. ”lag pad” The gamepad has less latency than your TV you think cunt. IE – No fucking lag what so ever at all.

              2. Please use one first before saying it is laggy. It may just be your system but mine works perfectly even from max range. So please if you havn’t used the Wiiu don’t accuse it.

        3. im watching tv, and on my wii u browser right now. i find it more accessable than ipad 2, and the games which i have for my wii u are by far more fun than ios games, also ive owned every ps console and always return to nintendo because quality is quality over quantity. my ps3 burned up in 8 mnths, my wii has last 3 years and counting. my wii u works as it should. miiverse is pretty nice social networking. entertaing and informative with far fewer trolls than possible to imagine. ur not there for one.

          1. also backwards compatability is convienant, espescially if u want to trade in ur older system at gamestop or best buy for a discount for up to 30% off, and that helps the pocket. yet i didnt trade my wii in, cause it still plays gamecube games, which is pretty nice considering i still like my gamecube games cause my gamecube finally died 9 years after owning it.. which is why i bought a wii 3 years ago… but u know, Nintendo is shit right, they don hav no good games.

          1. Then don’t type it like you want to be attacked by the 2 trolls on here. All you have to say is, “i am not going to buy a ps4, because i enjoy my wiiu and rather stick with it for a while”.

          2. *claps* Wii U is awesome… Patchter has some mental thing that keeps him from seeing things the good way. Anyway, PS4 looks good, much better than the XBOne, but still Wii U has me with exclusives.

    2. Better question is: how much did EA, Ubisoft and Activision really help to drive sales of Nintendo consoles in the pass?

      There are other third parties…

  2. So basically Wii U needs games with guns and gore to be good. ooooooooooooooookkkkkkkkkkaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyyy…..

  3. Pikmin 3, Wonderful 101, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, X, SMASH BROS, Mario 3D World, SMT X FE, Watch Dogs, Rayman Legends, Sonic Lost Worlds, Mario Kart 8, DKC:TF, NSMBU, ZombiU, Project Cars.

    1. Other than the baby Nintendo games you mentioned all those other games you mentioned are also coming to the other consoles. Watch Dogs, Rayman Legends, Project Cars aren’t exclusives to the Wii U.

      1. Some of those games are coming to other consoles are coming to wii u because they are third party. Pacther said wii u has no 3rd party support. I honestly don’t know anyone who plans to get an Xbox one so I don’t see how that is supposed to do well. Also seeing how ps4 and Xbox one are very similar wii u is more likely to be the other console of choice

      2. They don’t HAVE to be exclusive to be worth buying on the system.
        But of course, you’ll downplay them just due to the system they’re on, as your bias demands.

  4. I can’t believe I actually helped and sent this in! Your welcome sickr! Anyway, Pachter is wrong once again like always. Why the would buy a Wii U he says. Well it’s because of all the games coming out this year and next year! So many great, fun, amazing, innovative looking titles and he’s over saying there’s no reason to buy a Wii U!

  5. So many devs/pubs and people in the gaming media seem determined to create a foregone conclusion; they’ve decided Nintendo will fail, so they’re trying to make it happen. I have every expectation that Nintendo will survive. What will happen next generation I cannot say, but Nintendo will continue making games and system until it no longer proves profitable, which given their track record won’t be for a very, VERY long time yet.

    At this point I don’t think I even want many of these third parties who have shown their true colours to even put titles on the system, because i don’t see why I should support such two-faced companies.

      1. Could you post this on his blog. That would be a great surprise.>:3. Who even is Patcher anyway? I didn’t even know he existed until he started being talked about for being an idiot. I bought a Wii U and its perfectly fine. You’ll enjoy your Wii U sir but I would wait till mid September or late August if you want to get a game as soon as possible.

  6. And people would ask… Has he even tried…, or even touched a Wii U before?!?… Like that developer who said he didn’t like the Wii U now likes it because that dev bought one and tried it…

        1. Alright man shut the fuck up! I’m tired of you saying those are baby games and shit. Just because those games are not as violent as other games doesn’t mean they’re baby games or not fun. We all play games because they’re fun and those “baby games” are focused solely on fun! (I feel very ashamed that I’m raging right now so I’ll stop)

        2. So…games that are kid friendly cant be fun? Huh…well time to pack up my gaming stuff in my hobo bag and move along down the road I guess.

        3. yeah thats why sony has wonderbook, and seasame street games, cause those arent baby games or knack, which wishes it was as good as a mario platformer.

  7. to make your stupid “facts” look even more flawed. you misguided cunt.

    yo pacther, i’ve got a message for you!

    kill yourself, make the industry better that way!

  8. Many people moved on to pc gaming due to the extended console cycle this generation, and thus have access to those games. There are also a bunch of people who are kind of tired of the kinds of games big production companies are making for consoles. Very samey, hand-holding, homogenized action games. A lot of people are looking for a refreshing return to what got them interested in gaming in the first place

  9. “They’re not going to sell a lot of consoles if they don’t have games like FIFA and Battlefield and Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.”

    Ah Pachter, there’s more to gaming than those 4 titles.

  10. I own a Wii U and I agree with Pachter’s rhetorical question. There really isn’t a reason to buy a Wii U at this point in time. The titles that will make the console worthwhile are too far off. It’s not worth buying a Wii U right now for NSMBU (or the Luigi DLC) alone. And you can hardly make an argument for the third party titles, because many of them were already out on other consoles for months and most of them are better on said consoles.

    1. Right now, you’re right. Later on there will be reasons (games) to get the console. Same thing I waited to get a 3DS this year: there’s games I wanted.

    2. In your opinion only. I own several games for the Wii u and amongst them are titles like monster hunter3 ultimate and warriors orochi 3 hyper, besides a few others that makes the system worth having

    1. Doesn’t mean that he like the Wii U. I thought Wii U was a piece of crap until I start using the VC services. I just not interested in any of the games until now. I looking forward to this holiday for my Wii U.

      But I do agree that people should not listen to Pachter at all. The sad part is that people still do even with all his “guesses” are wrong.

  11. Welp, anyone who is interested in nintendo franchises and exclusive 3rd party games. My one and only reason is Smash Bros.

  12. I remembered how much I raged when I heard of this guy a few years ago. As much as I’d admit that those mentioned games help sell a console. It’s the Nintendo exclusives that’ll really make the difference in their sales. I myself can’t wait to find out more about X and the Zelda game.

  13. Nintendo Home Consoles have never had GTA or Battlefield games… this guy should research a little before opening his mouth.

    1. Wow thats interesting to hear(saracasm, but directed at Pachter), Reiren and Wii U is getting the next CoD or so it seems so… guess Wii U will be fine afterall! :D 💋

  14. Aaaaand he was paid my Microsoft to say it. BIG surprise!
    Microsoft are so pathetically desperate, it sickens me. I WANT to see them go down just for pulling this stuff.

  15. “were back with the Nintendo Entertainment System”
    Yeah, I mean, it’s not like that console had Contra, Final Fantasy, Metal Gear, Mega Man and Ninja Gaiden… all huge third-party titles.

    Let me answer with another question: Why would anybody listen to you? Oh, wait… no one does.

    1. NES was pretty much Nintendo games only. Yeah. This guy needs to be drug out to a ditch and taken care of. Microsoft, you earn less and less respect from me by the day.

      Seriously though, the Wii U is going to have an amazing library. Pretty much every Nintendo console. Get it when those games come out or get it now like me and wait for the games. I already have half a dozen 60 dollar games and another dozen eshop titles though, so I don’t see what the big deal is.

      Also, the gamepad is one of the best things I have ever seen to come with a console. It’s the future. Just like the DS was the future with it’s touch screen. Ignorant haters.

      1. I find you mistaken on your “The Future” comment. The vast majority of things I see being done with the touch screen on the game pad just make me ask “Why isn’t there a button for this? It would work so much better.” Now I can get behind the second screen showing useful extra information, but I don’t see that as being crucial to my gaming experience, that’s more like the whipped cream you add to your pie, completely unnecessary, but a nice addition.

  16. Because it’s backwards compatible, because the controller is something unique, because my digital titles can transfer from wii to WiiU, because I don’t have to rebuy expensive ass controllers for local co op, because the N and what third party exclusives they do have look awesome and entertaining. Now what reasons do I have to listen to you, Pachter?

      1. Ridiculous! That’s the only way this site can get hits!
        All joking aside, he IS payed off by Microsoft (that should say something about their confidence for the Xbox One), but I never took him seriously anyways.
        His articles DO get the most hits on this site, though.

  17. I can’t believe people are still listening to this dumba@$. “oh noes! people can’t play fifa call of duty or gta on wii u!
    1. sports games are crap
    2.I have a ps3 and 360 for gta
    3. I think Sony and Microsoft have enough cod anyway

    1. Seriously I didn’t even know about him till I heard about his stupid remarks about Wii U. It’s not the worst thing in the world. It’s fun innovative and definitely worth a buy IMO but to be honest I wanted a lot of games they’re releasing now back when it first launched. But when they come out watch sells fly.

  18. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, Legend of Zelda Wind Waker HD, Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Super Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros WiiU, New Super Mario Bros. U, and New Super Luigi U.

    Oh and this gorgeous gem of a game you seemed to miss you idiot!
    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G6Q4ld4uqcY
    Next time pay attention to Nintendo and their Nintendo Direct Press Conferences! Oh, and please fess up already to being paid by Micro$oft.

      1. Did you even bother to read his list? How is Bayonetta 2 a baby game? And arnt baby games specifically made for babies? Last time I checked Mario and Zelda was for EVERYONE. Try to troll harder next time and maybe people might give a shit about what you say(like Patcher. Huh what a wierd twist of events for you.)

      2. I take it you did not watch the trailer. I like unique games, and any company that just wants to keep rehashing the same old crap year after year, does not deserve my money. Innovation and immersion are what makes great games. While some companies get lucky and reach that goal, only Nintendo has continually strived for it and given it’s 3rd party developers the tools to do so as well.

        If that is your opinion of my list, then you sir/madam are no gamer, you are just a digester who digests the games big retailers tell you to, and never ever even try to look beyond hype.

      3. Also, If Pikmin is a baby game then I would like to meet the baby who can run circles around it any one of the 3 entries in the franchise. Why? Because they are probably smarter and more conversational then you are.

    1. Buy an entire console for one (incredibly overhyped) game? I don’t see anyone finding that a good financial investment.

  19. :They’re not going to sell a lot of consoles if they don’t have games like FIFA and Battlefield and Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto”

    LOL what XD.

  20. Smash Bros, X, Pikmin 3, SM3DW, Bayonetta 2, Wonderful 101, Sonic Lost World, and many other games that I want to play in the future, there you go, are you happy now?, just shut the fuck up Patcher, don’t make me laugh at you again.

    1. did nintedward make you his bitch servant????? run away run away from the pain!!!!! angelixshadow has a gun (boom!!!) angelixshadow has a gun (boom!!!) sickr is on the run, myntendonews is not very fun. what made angelixshadow snap!!!! was he tired of nintedwards crap!!!!!! you think im going to run around myintendonews with out a bullet proof vest FORGET ABOT IT!!! boomboomcchhhboom good morning chicago!!!!!

  21. “Why would anybody buy a Wii U?”

    Mario Kart 8… people will buy a Wii U just to play Mario Kart 8. And Smash Bros… and Bayonetta 2. Also Super Mario 3D World, DKC: Tropical Freeze and Sonic Lost World. Also Pikmin 3. And then there’s the Wonderful 101. Also there’s Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate…. and a lot of other games.

        1. yeah everything nintendo makes is for pathetic babies. its true. what is you fucking mom going to changn your diaper, through you birthday parties and give you kissies too!!! grow up instead of playing shit for children, mario wii sports shovelware. the list goes on and its just to pathetic.

          1. Wii Sports is the best-selling game of all time. Also, it is smart for people to make “baby games” as there are more children than adults in the world.

  22. Wii didn’t have Battlefield and GTA. Still outsold the competition.
    Pachter hating on Nintendo again? This is no getting old.

  23. I’ll live without GTA, FIFA, Battlefield and CoD. I did last generation. Maybe I’ll buy Wii U for the first party games? Idiot.

  24. Pachter is a biased bitch. Grand Theft Auto, Call of Duty, nor FIFA sells a console. He’s speaking as if those games automatically sells a console. I’m saying this from the bottom of my heart with my fanboyism pushed aside, go fall in a sewage hole Pachter.

    1. No, he’s saying a console without those games is at a disadvantage, which makes sense considering that GTA V has been incredibly anticipated and the other three titles have had the most annual sales several years in a row.

  25. The Wii U is an underpowered baby console. Only babies will buy a Wii U (actually it the parents of these babies that will buy it for them as the babies can’t afford it). Babies only get baby Nintendo games. That is why 3rd party games sell so bad on the console (except for the ocassional 3rd party baby game). That is why also Nintendo itself didn’t want to publish Xenoblade, The Last Story, Pandora’s Tower in the West as they clearly know their own audience and didn’t believe there would be an audience for these “more mature” content games in the West It took Operation Rainfall to convince Nintendo to release these games in the West as Nintendo only publishes baby games now. Why not? They sell exceptionally well on the baby console. When you ask a Nintendo fanboy why should I get a Wii U? they blast you with a big list of baby games.
    Nintendo has no idea what the Gamepad is for as more than 8 months after the console was released they still haven’t shown a single game that uses the Gamepad in a unique way that couldn’t be done somewhere else.

    1. Ohh baby games, ohh baby games, I have nothing better to say, OHH BABIES, look at me, I’m saying “babies”, I’m such a MACHO MAN now, baby games here, baby games there. lololololol I’m such a troll for saying baby games, baby games, baby games, baby games!

        1. That is the point, they don’t know shit about videogames, they only say kiddie or baby games all the time, thinking that videogames are some kind of miraculous machine that determine your own age, this kind of trolls are a joke.

  26. “the Wii U is a Nintendo-only gaming device which is what they were back with the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985”

    Can we not post stupid and blatantly wrong information on this site? I know Patcher said, but still if he says something factually can we not post, ok?

  27. SherlockWillFightBilbo

    I don’t know why people can’t see it but he’s right. Think of the MAJORITY. Without third-party games, without power that competes with Sony and Microsoft, and without decent first-party games RIGHT NOW ON THIS DATE, no one would buy a Wii U.

      1. SherlockWillFightBilbo

        That was in the long run. What he’s saying is by analysing what we know AT THIS MOMENT, there is no reason to think the Wii U will sell. He also said a good point: PS4 is only $50 more than Wii U. It also includes a headset if I recall correctly. So why would anyone buy a Wii U?

        1. What we also know at this moment is that games are coming.
          It’s been stated numerous times and we’re reminded of it all the time.

          And a headset isn’t exactly a system seller either, much like how a different controller isn’t.
          (Also, let’s keep this discussion civil and make sure it doesn’t spiral into insults.)

          1. SherlockWillFightBilbo

            No need to bring that up, I never insult in these discussions :P The only reason I capped some words is because I can’t italicise them.
            Games are coming, but only one that we’ve seen is truly a system seller: Smash Bros.
            Sure, Zelda will come out in 2015, so many people will buy a Wii U for that, but we haven’t seen it and it’s still early in development. So there’s no real system seller until sometime in 2014.
            I just mentioned the headset because it’s an added bonus to the bundle.

            1. Yes, Smash Bros. is a system seller indeed.
              Let’s look at the main Nintendo audience. We have a new Mario adventure coming, 3D World. Cry “rehash” and “same old thing” all you want, but those games still sell like hotcakes. Stuff like Wii Fit sold like crazy on the Wii and many bought consoles for that. Whether that audience is still here, only time will tell.

        2. It may be $50 cheaper, but Sony adds on extra costs outside the initial purchase. An example would be my Vita. I had to buy a memory card just for saves. It wasn’t even a good one, just 8gb. And 8gb is $30. I’m betting a second ps4 controler will be well above $50. It has that touch pad after all.

  28. Well I buy Nintendo consoles because they make games I love to play, that’s the main reason I buy them. I mostly buy Nintendo handhelds for Pokemon because you know they are basically Pokemon machines, everything else is a bonus for me. It’s been that way for me since the GBC, and it’s not changing anytime soon. I really don’t care for what he has to say, he doesn’t influence what I buy and like, and he shouldn’t influence neither of you. Just ignore the guy.

    1. Pretty much me. I don’t give a shit if Nintendo’s consoles are underpowered(Which they are), they get the games I play. The only other ones I consider are Sony’s, and not their shitty handhelds. If it had a number, or nothing next to it, Playstation was always good.
      Portable and Vita are fucking garbage.

  29. When you say something that makes an ounce of sense, then I’ll take you seriously, Pachter.
    You make the trolls on the site look intelligent.

  30. SherlockWillFightBilbo

    And to everyone who’s bashing CoD, Battlefield, Fifa, etc.: those games sell. You may be blinded and have a biased hatred for those games, but they sell a ton. A system not having them won’t do AS WELL. (and yes, I know CoD Ghosts is coming to Wii U. But honestly, which version will be better? PS4/X1 or Wii U? It’s obvious.)

    1. Call of Duty sold well on consoles that had an established user base already.
      When you have the option to shell out $560 for something that you can already get on a console you already own for $500 less, you’re gonna go with the cheaper option.

      Does Call of Duty sell well? Yes.
      Is it enough to purchase a brand new console? Not really.

      1. SherlockWillFightBilbo

        Of course, but there are other reasons to buy a PS4/X1. CoD, Fifa, and Battlefield are just added bonuses that have better graphics than what non-PC gamers are used to.

        1. Yes, but FIFA 14, Ghosts and Battlefield are still coming to PS3, 360, hell, even the Wii is getting FIFA.
          So far for the Xbox One, there aren’t a lot in terms of system sellers either. The main Xbox demographic doesn’t really know what Killer Instinct is and Halo 5 hasn’t really been promised yet.

          For all we know, the Xbox One could go through a similar drought at the very beginning.
          Personally, I hope it doesn’t.

          1. SherlockWillFightBilbo

            Yeah, but lots of people have been waiting for the next generation. The reason most gamers haven’t switched to Wii U is because they know it’s only a little bit more powerful than the current generation. So there’s no point switching. But the PS4 and X1 should have a much larger jump graphically. I know many people who have been saving up and waiting for either the PS4 or, as they called it a while back, the Xbox 720.
            Xbox One has TitanFall (PC does too but that doesn’t really matter; console-related, it’s exclusive to X1).

  31. faith in gaming: LOST,you all will just keep bothering us because : nintendo is a company for everyone,kids,teens,adults and hardcore gamers,why wont you simply tell what´s bothering you,katamari? the graphics,the concept,will you ever even CONSIDER seeing trailers of nintendo games? what a shame you dont are a real gamer.stop console racism…please…

  32. I Stand With Jae Mathews

    So sick of is fucking nimrod. We buy Nintendo hardware to play Nintendo games dipshit!

  33. here’s a question, why would anyone give a shit about what Pachtcer has to say, and what the fuck is a Pachter, idiotic name

  34. faith in gaming : LOST.why are you keep bothering us? nintendo is a company with games for EVERYONE,not babies,they are games for every kind of people,teens,adults,kids,even hardcore gamers,what´s annoying you so much about nintendo,katamari? it is the graphics,it is the gameplay? just think before talking,will you ever CONSIDER watching trailers of nintendo games? what a shame,you shouldn’t call yourself a gamer,STOP CONSOLE RACISM…please…

  35. does pachter even know japan exists? seriously every game he mentions is a big western studio release. On top of all the things and games that I would like to tell this man about the wii u and why you should get one I’ll just say one thing and one thing only….X

    1. Because the big western studio releases sell better. He’s not really much of a gamer, he’s an economist.

  36. Pachter doesn’t know how to look at things from the perspective of each demographic.

    The Xbox’s main audience loves mainly shooters and sports games.

    People buy Nintendo consoles for mostly platformers and the occasional RPG, along with games anybody can pick up and play.

    Sony’s audience is very well-rounded. They play racers, shooters, platformers, LOTS of RPG’s, beat-em-ups, etc.

    He doesn’t acknowledge the Japanese audience, or the fact that people who play primarily on Nintendo (Which I don’t recommend, go for a PS or something to get more games) have different tastes.

    tl;dr: Pachter’s a moron.

  37. I bought a Wii U. Not because of the games it had at launch, but because of the potential it had for offering a different experience with existing and classic characters. The exact same reason I bought a Wii. My family owns all of the current Gen consoles. Our intro to the next Gen is the Wii U. Nintendo has set the bar for years now when it comes to gaming. FIFA and Call Of Duty hold no long term interest for me. They are easily replaced, upgraded, and cheaper to purchase secondary market. Nintendo offers a quality character based game that no one, shy of Sega, has been able to offer or replicate. The Wii U is lacking support, and lacking the attention now offered to the 3DS by Nintendo. It will happen however, it’s just a matter of time. In all reality the Wii U is poised to rule the holiday season here in the west, which will drive sales in the east. It’s more affordable, no one else is offering titles that are long term “fun” players at the moment (even the other next gen consoles). Sure, every next gen console has a great offering. Nintendo just always has a knack for offering a game that my family and I will play over and over again. That’s why I bought one. I’m not alone either. There are plenty of gamers that agree. Maybe it’s a niche market, or simple nostalgia, or maybe it’s because Nintendo offers something more than limited time enjoyment in a sports or a battle/war themed game? I think so. Waiting to see what Sony and Xbox will come out with, but playing my Wii U while I’m waiting.

  38. Better question. ” Why would anybody buy a Nintendo System for FIFA and Battlefield and Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto?” Be back in the NES days? The NES didn’t fail. Hell even if the Wii U repeated the Gamecube sales it wouldn’t be a fail since they still made a profit overall. Patcher seems to have forgotten that most people are interested in the PS4. MOST people STILL DONT CARE ABOUT THE XBOX ONE. Even after Microsoft took back most of the issues.

    1. A better question would be: “Who buys any console for FIFA or FPS games?”
      Unless it’s Halo, nobody’s ever bought a console for a single first-person shooter. And sports games are a dime a dozen which you can get anywhere.

      He’s right that the Wii U needs system sellers, but those are godawful examples.

      1. Not quite true. I know tons of people who buy systems exactly for FIFA and Call of Duty only. One of my friends actually got a PS3 just for FIFA.

        Especially in my area, when I used to work in games retail, people would come in and tell me how they only play FIFA or they only play Call of Duty and a lot of them would just buy Xbox 360s for those.

        Some would buy PS3’s for them too (mostly for FIFA players).

  39. Oh yah and correct me if I’m wrong, but didn’t Patcher say he would buy a Wii U just for Bayonetta 2?

  40. people will buy it because it’s a fun console which has and will continue to have fantastic games. something this retarded clown of an ANALyst just doesn’t seem to get. fuck him and his family.

  41. “Why would anyone logical and smart buy an xboxone?,”is what he should have asked. Xbox is done. Lost market share in the US Microsoft. Lol their cheerleader Pachter.

    1. SherlockWillFightBilbo

      Except Microsoft reversed the crap in the Xbox One and are coming out with Titan Fall and Halo 5. Those are system sellers, and right now, Xbox One is pretty neck-and-neck with PlayStation 4.

    2. The Xbox One is still going to do well. It might not sell as much as the Xbox 360, but it will not fail. The hate on the internet is not representative of the entire consumer market. Don’t let it fool you. There are still millions loyal to the Xbox brand. Plus Microsoft has the marketing money. Never underestimate the marketing money. Microsoft, like Apple, are masterminds when it comes to certain products that they advertise.

      I’m getting an Xbox One (in addition to the PS4 I pre-ordered and the Wii U I already own). There are a few games I want to play exclusive to the system and since I also work with games, I like to own all systems.

            1. Because they removed DRM, they also removed other features that were actually not that bad.

              At the same time, it makes the playing field a little more level. I would have loved to have seen the generation start with a bit more of a difference between the PS4 and Xbox One.

                    1. LOL. It won’t remove it. It will just put it to sleep. They can wake it up anytime.

              1. SherlockWillFightBilbo

                Yeah, it was interesting seeing how things would turn out with X1 having its DRM and certain cool features, but now it’s kind of boring :/

      1. I got an email from Moveon.org, which has nothing to do with video games. They usually send all this democratic political stuff like save the environment and stop the republicans. It actually was the first time ever I got a petition like this. It also seemed like didn’t get the message that some of these things are no longer a problem. Even my dad who is retired and has no interest in video games knew about it all the DRM troubles and internet connection. I think he read in Wall Street Journal.

        Trust me when I say Microsoft is still in real trouble with everyone outside of the internet gaming community.

  42. This guy just can’t make up his mind. I really don’t think he should be payed to be an analyst If he really can’t predict much and always seems to change his mind.

    1. According to you. Considering three of those have been the top three selling franchises annually, obviously you’re in the minority.

    1. Same here. I really only get Nintendo systems to play Nintendo exclusive games and there are quite a few Nintendo exclusives that I want to play.

      Still, I do admit that Nintendo has to do a better job appealing to the masses.

        1. I’m not so sure I’ll have much left over to get anything for it this year since I’m getting a PS4 and maybe an Xbox One (pre-ordered both already), but next year I have a good number of titles that I’m looking forward to.

          Whether I get them at launch or not, I’m looking forward to picking up Pikmin, Tropical Freeze, Sonic Lost World, Super Mario 3D World, Scribblenauts Unmasked, Wind Waker HD, Mario Kart 8, and Smash Bros.

          1. Pretty much the same for me except remove Pikmin, Sonic and Scribblenauts. I’m guessing you’ll be getting your third party games on PS4/Xbone over Wii U?

            1. Most multiplatforms will be on PS4 unless the Wii U version has some crazy good exclusive features.

              Otherwise, Xbox One and Wii U will be for exclusives only (unless a publisher gives me a multiplatform game for that system).

              1. get a grip sony and ms casual fans

                I dont do what the industry tells me to do

                And I dont LTFOL GAME ON A DUALSHOCK

  43. if anything this guy gets the nintendo fan boys worked up and they buy more. Microsoft always trying to smear Nintendo but they’re still around

  44. One month…One month until Wii U ‘s first heavy hitter debuts in the States. One month until there could be a status change in sales on Wii U. Can Pikmin 3 do it? Can it show a change in status in increases in sales like 30%? I know one thing, once Pikmin 3 comes out, I WILL NOT BE ON HERE AS OFTEN. In fact that’s just the begining, 101, Rayman Legends will probably keep me away from here until gas prices reaches $6 a gallon. Also because Wind Waker is such a long as title, I will be so busy playing that game (I love replaying games I beaten before and now the game gets a facelift? Hell yeah), my ass will really be gone. Why buy a Wii U Patcher? Because of Wonderful 101, SSB U (All Stars can’t touch it), 3D Mario game (I don’t give a rats ass how many times a Mario game is released in one year Mario games sell). Mario to Nintendo is like Lebron James to the NBA. I got my faith back in Nintendo. When I was dogging Nintendo before, I was doing exactly what Microsoft wanted. WILL NOT ANYMORE. I’m sticking up to Nintendo like Gamer and Nintendo Commander. I’m going back to how I defeded Nintendo before….or my name ain’t JTZ!!!!!!!!

  45. Also remember how I was bitching about lack of online for 3D Mario. I failed to remember that even though Brawl had online, I only used it about 4 times. Why? Because it sucked. It sucked big time. Watching Tre’s video helped me realize something. If it was possible that they tested it, which make sense, it could have sucked. Think about, if it sucked, then people like Patcer would bitch big time about online. Mario, doesn’t need a crappy online. In fact, Wii U doesn’t need a crappy online period. I failed to realize that Nintendo has Dream Team and 3D Mario World releasing this year. Even if the two games arein’t innovative to Ness, the most imprssive thing is how quickly Nintendo made two Mario games for two different consoles. One has four player while the other has an all new experience of how Mario and Luigi team up which looks like one sleeps in order to kick Bowser’s ass. What Nintendo needs is to annouce the next date and time of another Direct and what upcoming games will they show that we never seen and heard of yet. Nintendo is up to something, something big, mean, nasty, scary, something I dont’ even know what it is yet, but I will find out or my name aint’ the one and only jtz.

    1. Another thing, There is still a lot of GamePad pontential not quite unveiled yet. I remember someone saying Nintendo doesn’t know what to do with the GamePad. Will that’s not true. Remember at 2012 E3, one image from the GamePad could leave the gamepad and appear on the TV as if it was real time? Remember a girl was holding a Wiimote in her hand and had the GamePad on the floor. The GamePad displayed a golf ball. The girl swung the Wiimote. The ball left the Gamepad and appeared on the television. A dart appearing on the GampePad, someone touches the gamepad and it leaves and chops down trees on the TV. last year at E3, hidden treaser could only be found the GamePad. Also, on one game shown on the Gamepad, someone was holding it and moved the controller to the far right, it showed images that couldn’t be shown on TV. OH NINTENDO KNOWS WHAT TO DO WITH THE GAMEPAD!!!! Why aren’t we experiencing this yet? Will it goes back to that article about holding back certain games at this year’s E3, don’t wan’t competition to have plenty of time to copy. When a company is silent, competitiors worry. How can you tell if a rival is worried? Pay journlist to bash the company that is the most quiet.

      1. Nice to see you back with us, and I agree. The game pad has huge potential and I think they will start to act on it.(hopefully) It only starts to get better with Pikmin 3.

    2. It’s the beginning of July.
      A Direct is coming in a couple weeks, and we’re probably gonna see a handful of more games, or more info on stuff we’ve already seen. More than likely a combination of both.

      It’s easy to be like the commenter above and whine about everything that happens, but nothing’s ever fun that way.
      Plus, Pachter’s a talentless hack who makes shit up to get attention anyway, and he’s paid by MS to say stupid shit.

  46. A couple of things to get straight with this fucker.

    1. You buy the Wii U for the fucking Nintendo games that are coming too…
    2. Since when Call of Duty or Battefield or GTA are the only games that sells like hotcakes?
    3. EA and Activition? Whatever the fuck happen with the other companies like Atlus and don’t mention EA like is one of the great companies to purchase from.
    4. Why I bought a Wii U? I loved the concept that it had and it’s feature like Miiverse (it’s like the best way to connect to Nintendo and let you voice be heard by then), and the fucking Internet Browser (for some reason, I love it.)

    So keep bashing on the Wii U, Pachter. Just like the 3ds, It may probably rise above your fucking expectations.

  47. I BUY A WII U FOR THE GAMEPAD AND SSB WII U,BATTALION WARS 3,MARIO KART AND GOOD RTS GAMES BECAUSE OTHER CONSOLES DO NOT NO HOW TO MAKE A GOOD RTS GAME THATS WHY I HAVE FAITH IN NINTENDO TO MAKE A VERY GOOD GAME THAT USE THE GAMEPAD IN A RTS GAME LIKE STARCRAFT OR COMMAND AND CONQUER GAMES

  48. SherlockWillFightBilbo

    I think the most important thing we all NEED to know is why people keep asking and prompting Pachter to give an anti-Nintendo comment instead of asking about what he thinks of Nintendo’s E3 reveals or 3DS’s success. I really want to know what he thinks of these things >.>

      1. That’s explain things. I just wish some non-biased person do the analyst and not a biased person. I mean where he get his information? Where are the research? Where are the stats?

        A true analyst can provide data and can provide a foresight on the sales number but that analyst should not explain why. (There are so many factors into the equation of the stats.) This is what analyst should do.

  49. This guy all ways hating on the big N why he gets airtime when he don’t know anything. About games

  50. Once again I don’t give a fuck about this guy’s opinion. I’m going broke with all the games I will be buying before the year ends on Wii U and 3DS. This guy needs to get a life outside of bashing Nintendo.

    1. get a grip sony and ms casual fans

      Its not his OPINION HE IS PAYED TO TROLL NINTENDI BY EA AND OTHER TOP GAMING CARTEL INVESTORS

      This is the actions of a beaten industry

      They did this in the 80s wen nes and snes destroyed the usa games indusrty

    1. Like anyone is buying a console for Fifa or Battlefield.
      This guy is an idiot.
      If someone is buying a specific console is because of the exclusives.

  51. get a grip sony and ms casual fans

  53. I hate FIFA, Call of duty and Grand Theft Auto, maybe Battlefield has a chance… So why would I buy a Wii U? Cause I believe it is the one that will make me happy to have in my sitting room.

  54. God, I hate this guy. Please stop publishing the shit he says. Seriously, it only gives him credibility. Just because he’s talking about Nintendo doesn’t mean Nintendo news sites need to run with his negativity. Your continuing coverage of this jackass is why I only visit your page once every few weeks.

  55. get a grip sony and ms casual fans

    Lol industry I fpscon wii remote not dualshock

    Lol industry I control all 11 players in football games I dont mash a dualshock and control 1 player

    I have a controller choice sony has no choice JUST A BLACK BOX AND A DUALSHOCK NOT NEXT GEN

  56. Tips for Nintendo
    1. Remove the f**king region locks from the Wii U and the 3DS
    2. Motivate the goddamn the 3rd party companies to make games for your console
    3. Advertise the f**king Wii U like mad!

    1. get a grip sony and ms casual fans

      Im going to look core on the bet by banging on about a pointless point regon locks NO ONE IN REAL WORLD GIVES A SHIT LOL I AINT PLAYING GAMES IN JAPANESSE FUK THAT

      Lol dualshock mashers

  57. get a grip sony and ms casual fans

    Taping a laptop touch panel to a dualshick is not evolution its an insult

    1. I think its a fantastic idea actually. They can use it on alot of things like the web browser or flying a predator missile into your enemy or can be used as a standalone button. The only controller thats not an evolution next gen is the Xbox One controller, ohhh impulse triggers… Amazing -_-

  58. Advertize the wiiu like mad DUMB DUMB THATS EXACTLY WHAT THEL DO TO DISRUPT PS4 SONY HAVE NO MONEY

    Nintendo will hit hard with a wii like add campaign year end and a huge list of exclusives and rebundled hardware

    Nintendo is playing dumb they did this on purpose TO DISRUPT PS4 AT RELEASE

  59. I am not a fan of him and he loves to hate on Nintendo. He is an Xbox fan. He also likes Microsoft over Apple. But this time Nintendo made his job of hating on Nintendo easy. It’s true, third parties are not investing in the Wii U. People say the Wii got a lot of third party support. That is bull, they (3rd party) put cheap crap on Wii, they did not invest in Wii. And it is happening all over again, now 3rd party isn’t even putting cheap crap on WiiU, they just abandon Wii U. I don’t think Xbox 1 will be a success until Halo comes out on it and then only Halo faithful. The PS4 has not only won, but is going to repeat PS2 domination unless Nintendo does something, and Microsoft has to take Kinect out and lower price. Nintendo needs some big awesome games and Wii U Sports. It is insane that their most successful games Wii Sports and Wii Sports Resort are not getting a new sequel on Wii U, that is stupid.

    1. Well, he has a good reason to like Microsoft over Apple. Apple makes Macs. Otherwise, Pachter is a gigantic cock.

      1. Other than not having Microsoft Word, Power Point, Excell, etc.. Mac’s are actually better than PC’s. 💋

  60. I think in America gets maybe 1000 people shot in the head in a year. Why the hell does no one shoot Pachter, so that he shut the fuck up for the rest of my life?

  61. “the Wii U is a Nintendo-only gaming device which is what they were back with the Nintendo Entertainment System in 1985”

    “Why would anybody buy a Wii U?”

    1. He’s logic is so full of holes that he is the only one buying the Xbox One at his office while the rest are buying PS4s and Wii Us

  62. Why would I buy a Wii U?

    Well… because of the… y’know… games? You know Pachter, those things that are like interactive movies? They come on discs?

    What a goddamn idiot. Somebody sack him!

  63. I would like to ask a simple question of my own;

    Why the hell does the person who runs this blog keep posting this morons opinions? Seriously, I’m sick of seeing his name all the time. I wouldn’t mind if he had anything worth hearing, but he’s been discredited and proven wrong time and time again. I’ve never seen him get anything right. It’s sad.

  64. This creature does rampage around our universe from time to time, unfortunately just around our territory…

    Nintendo proved with the Wii that it basically only needs Nintendo games to succed which it has and always will…

    Third Party games are just a welcomed bonus…

    Gamer, where is your code?…

  65. He has a point. At the moment I do not want a Wii U, but than again, all of the next gen consoles aren’t that great. I’m debating between PS4 and Xbox One, both have strengths and weaknesses that I am considering. Whereas with Wii U I just haven’t started considering getting it. Its missing a game that makes me WANT to own it. With Xbox I get Halo, but its more expensive and requires kinect. With Sony I get all the 3rd party games I could get on xbox for a cheaper price with no restrictions, but no exclusives that interest me, with Wii U,its lacking many features and I get just the few games that Nintendo has out, none of which are exciting to me. So really, none of these consoles are very exciting to me yet.

    1. Since I am no longer a console wars fanboy I will buy all 3 eventually if they present me with exciting games, but for now I’m sticking with 360, ps3, and my 3DS as my main consoles.

      1. ARGENTINA NO 1 MESSI TO DESTROY ON BRASILIAN SOIL

        lord dick-wod it has NOTHING TO DO WITH FANBOY WARS,,, IT HAS EVERYTHING TO DO WITH “”””””COMMONSENSE”””””

        DUALSHOCK MY LITTLE NON THINKING FRIEND IS NOT NEXT GEN, THE PS4 IS THE PS2 AND THE PS3 AL OVER AGAIN THERE IS NO “”””””NEXT GEN””””””””

        4 GENS IN A ROW A PS1 CONTROLLER AND A BOX ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME

        ARE YOU SERIOUSLY EXPECTING ME TO PART CASH FOR THAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!

        COMMON FUCKING SENSE YES…..

        WHEN NINTENDO WENT SHOULDER BUTTONS ON PADS SO DID THE WHOLE GAMING INDUSTRY

        WHEN NINTENDO WENT 3D THEY WENT ANALOG STICK SO DID GAMING AND INDUSTRY AS A WHOLE

        DO NOT TRY TO DENY FACT AND ENGINEERING

        NINTENDO EVOLVES THE GAMING EXPERIENCE AND INTERACTION (NO BODY ELSE DOES )

        GIMMICK NO /EVOLUTION YES UNDENIABLE ANALOG STICK WASN’T A GIMMICK IT WAS A EVOLUTION

        D-PAD WASN’T A GIMMICK IT WAS A EVOLUTION

        SHOULDER BUTTONS WERE NOT GIMMICKS THEY WERE EVOLUTIONS

        TOUCH SCREEN AND DUAL SCREEN WASN’T A GIMMICK IT WAS A EVOLUTION

        RIGHT SO IV JUST USED ENGINEERING FACT /GAMING FACT THAT PS4 IS NOT NEXT GENERATION

        SO AGAIN I ASK WHY WOULD I BUY A PS4 ITS A PLAYSTATION 2 ALL OVER AGAIN

        DUALSHOCK 4 WAS A ILLUSION,,,SONY PRETENDED TO BE EVOLVING AND PRETENDED IT WAS A ADVANCED CONTROLLER… AND WAS A MOTION CONTROLLER…AND THE TOUCH PANEL BULL SHIT WAS LIKE WIIU GAMEPAD

        LOL SONY AS IF

        THEN ITS REVEALED THE BULB IS USLESS AS THE CAMERA DONT EVEN COME WITH THE CONSOLE AND THE PREVIOUS MOVE IS FOR PS4 HYPE HAS VANISHED WHY BECAUSE MOVE DONT WORK AND IT FAILED IT FLOPPED

        SO SONY HAD NO INTENTION OF COMPETING WITH NINTENDO WITH A ACTUAL NEXT GEN DEVICE

        fact 80% reduction in AAA huge budget games they havent told you that fact WHY

        BECAUSE THE INDUSTRY DOESNT WANT TO ADMIT NINTENDO DISRUPTED THEM AND CRASHED THERE CARTEL

        THATS WHAT PACHTER IS PAYED TO DO DID YOU EVEN KNOW THAT TO TALK VIRAL CRAP ABOUT THE GAMING SUCCESS STORY CALLED NINTENDO

        HE IS HANDED THE SCRIPT BY THE CARTEL OF RICH INVESTORS AT EA GAMES ETC

        THIS NINTENDO HATRED HAS GONE ON FROM 1980S NES DISRUPTED THEM IN THE 80S AND WII DS DISRUPTED THEM IN THE 2000S

  66. Proud Nintendo Fanboy

    Why WOULDN’T anyone buy a Wii U? How else will anyone be able to play any new Mario, Zelda, Pikmin games etc.? I don’t care how powerful and advanced a console is, a console is only as good as the games that are made for it. And Nintendo has always made games that was worth buying the consoles for. If people wants to be lost in the PS4 and Xbox One mumbo jumbo forever, let them. But we Nintendo fans know that Nintendo is the best company, and they make the most funnest, innovative games in the industry.

        1. game play evolution!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! same thing sorry no such thing as a Mario game FACT

          there games of completely different and who said you have to play Nintendo games HERE WE GO AGAIN WITH THE INDUSTRY SAID SO SO IT MUST BE TRUE #

          EVERY SINGLE GAME ANY PERSON CAN IMAGINE WOULD BE BETTER ON WIIU THAN PS4 THATS PHYSICAL FORM FACT

          DUALSHOCK LTFOL LTFOL

  67. Pachter is right. All he did was voice the opinion of gamers, developers and the gaming media. Even Nintendo fans have that niggling doubt at the back of their minds. They just do everything in their power to ignore it.

    I will continue to support my WiiU to the end, however I am still buying PS4. Otherwise I would spend the majority of time waiting for games and not playing them! And missing out on true next generation gaming. And I don’t plan on doing that.

    1. ARGENTINA NO 1 MESSI TO DESTROY ON BRASILIAN SOIL

      YOU NEED TO READ THE CAPS LOCK POSTS YOU TALK UTTER INDUSTRY BULL 99% OF THE TIME

      KILLZONE 4 ON A PS1 CONTROLLER IS NEXT GEN

      NO IT ISNT

  68. [sarcasm]Suuuuure, because games like FIFA, Battlefield, Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto totally matter for absolutely everybody.[/sarcasm]
    Have you ever thought about families with young children who just want to buy a console they can all enjoy?

  69. you have blown my mind and your post is GOD

    ARGENTINA NO …1

    i couldnt agree more look dude i feel the frustration too,but dont fret every ms fan and sony fan knows this, there just to casual gamer and dumbed down to admit it and admit that only wiiu is next gen.

    i to head in hands at twin stick fps lol its SHIT, and fifa lol game-play i too only fps on wii remotes and stopped lol analog stick aiming a long long time ago…

    i to have mastered pes on wii and it blows away twin stick soccer games IT KILLS THEM,and yes i to lol at EA games etc there totally out of touch with real consumers and are hell bent on trying to recreat a ps2 culture..

    they cannot that userbase grew up and moved on its the consumer at large and the core gamers that need capturing ONLY FANBOYS DEFEND OBSOLETE DUALSHOCKS!!!!

    can no one see wiius secondary controllers are the dualshock pro pad and classic pad pro the MAIN FOCUS OF WIIU IS

    gamepad /wii remote/wii remote plus/nunchuck because gaming evolves and so does the horse power and so dies the hardware that being the hard part that in your hands the controllers

    street fighter couldnt be played on a nes pad BUT IT COULD A SNES PAD

    THAT SENTENCE ALONE ALSO PROVES WHAT ARGENTINA NO…1’S POST DOES

    ITS SIMPLE LOGIC ONLY WII U IS N-G next generation

  70. Why would anyone buy any console?

    Because he or she loves games!

    Nintendo products will always sell, because there are lots of exclusive ip’s the people love.
    Without third party support Nintendo will sell less, but there are still plenty of reasons to play Wii U.
    And until the other manufacturers are successfully copying the “Nintendo feeling” big N will have its place in the industry.

    They made big mistakes with the Wii U so far, but it won’t be the fall of Nintendo.

    I have eight games on pre-order for the Wii U and didn’t pre-order the PS4 yet. There are no interesting games at launch for me.
    It’s all about preferences.

    1. Exactly, these western fools thinks that power or graphics makes a good great which is so far from the truth…

      It is probably a joy to look at but that’s it…

      That’s why they need online in everything because they cannot come up with interesting games…

      1. Wake up. Technology is what offers new experiences and ways to play. Nintendo themselves adopted this approach prior to the Wii. It was more powerful technology that allowed them to create such gems as Ocarina of time. The fact that you now dismiss more powerful technology, as unnecessary, is wildly hypocritical. If it was Nintendo with the more powerful tech, I guarantee fanboys like you would be praising it to the heavens. Bloody hypocrites, the lot of you.

        1. Technology is indeed what offers new experiences and ways to play, but that doesn’t automatically mean the most powerful hardware delivers that. May I draw your attention to both the Wii and the original DS. Not the most powerful hardware-wise, but offered new experiences with their own technologies, experiences that everyone enjoyed, so much so that in the Wii’s case, Sony tried to implement their own thing, whereas Microsoft went a slightly different route. It brought about a new breed of gamers, and that’s what’s great for the industry, especially one that doesn’t want to admit to change, and is so fragile it could crash at any given time.

          If the Wii U had PC-architecture ala the PS4 and XO, yes we would be praising it, but we’d be praising it because it’s a Nintendo console, and we can play our favourite Nintendo games on it. However, the fact the Wii U has native backwards compatibility, something the other two clearly lack, is a plus, and what’s that down to? Technology. Third-gen Gecko Processor has its merits.

          The Wii U is fine with the power it has. You’ll see a sharper increase in quality when the powerhouses are released anyway. Nintendo was first out of the gate console-wise with GPGPU’s. None of the 7th gen systems have one. Both the PS4 and XO will, so by then developers would have the tools they need. It just means they have to learn to optimise their code and stop being lazy, which to be honest, is the fallacy of the industry. If you want raw power, get a PC. If you want the console experience, take your pick.

          Hypocrisy debunked.

  71. you have blown my mind ONLY WII U IS NG

    imagine battlefield goggles and shit on gamepad
    infra red/night vision/drone and missile control/maps/inventory/voice chat/watching a team member in another area of the map /buddy view in co-op

    SOIS HAND ON HEART ANSWER PS4 NEXT GEN JUST BE HONEST PUT SILLYDUALSHOCK FANBOYISM TO ONE SIDE AND ANSWER THIS HONESTLY

    IS-DUALSHOCK-NEXTGEN

      1. The GamePad is more of an effort than what the others are offering, plus unlike its rivals, the integration is both seamless and its own standard. You have it right in front of you. You also don’t have to spend extra money on another device for the same effect because it comes in the box.

        Oh wait, the media is paid to make mindless sheep like you think the same. My bad.

        1. The gamepad doesn’t show any effort at all. It isn’t even a particularly interesting or unique idea. It is just a DS second screen.

          And the rest of your comment reeks of hypocrisy. Almost word for word, you spouted the marketing drivel that Nintendo have been spinning since launch.

          So why don’t you pop off your high horse in future before making such laughable accusations in future.

        1. I specified that below. But basically the advanced technology allows developers to implement their ideas, which was previously impossible due to technological restrictions on current consoles, and create unique gaming experiences. In the same way the N64 allowed Nintendo new ways of designing their games. The SNES wasn’t powerful enough to allow them to create games like Ocarina. New technology isn’t simply about the graphics.

  75. big three are overrated

    I dont give a shit what some overrated analyst who thinks his words affect the industry says. Bayonetta is my favorite 7th gen game and its sequel is Wii u exclusive maybe i dont wanna miss that game . God i hate these fanboys like Pachter. I bought Wii u because it has lots of fuckin great exclusives comin it also has some multiplats comin. I am happy with my purchase, but there is always some mothafuckin dickhead who think he is important talkin crap. Maybe pachter should patch his head. Fuck you fanboys im gonna enjoy my Wiiu,3ds,Vita,ps3 and ps4 when it has more games. Why should anyone buy Xbox one huh? that thing doesnt have anything else than multiplats that you can get on pc or on ps4. 3rd party support is important but the system has to have lots of own content to make it sell to me. Fuck this guy no one respects him he is the one who has been lucky to be on a job where all you need to do is play some motha fuckin “prophet”. FUCK!!!!!!

  76. LOLing so hard at Pachter…..Why would we buy a wii u? because we want to play different genres of games rather than just a fucking FPS-box or a FPS4. I like my games to be games…..

      1. It’s the game that Pachter claims that he will buy a Wii U for! One game can make a difference.

  77. I love the ignorance of you children. You seem to be under the impression that more powerful technology is simply about the graphics. What you don’t understand is that current technology is restrictive. It doesn’t allow developers to realise their full vision of their ideas. With next gen consoles, the opportunities are endless. They can finally make the games they want, exactly how they want them. Which allows them to introduce entirely new gaming experiences. The XB1 and PS4 controllers have not been modified too much from their predecessors, because they have become the definitive controllers for comfort and control. That is why. To argue against such things is moronic and futile. You don’t criticise something for being ideal for the job it does.

    Anyway, as I’ve said before. I will continue to support my WiiU until the end (which let’s be honest, isn’t far off). But trying to defend it in the face of the looming next generation is futile. WiiU WILL fail against these consoles. And the sooner you accept that, and stop stamping your feet like angry children, the better.

    1. The Wii U is next-gen. And the Gamepad was designed to fit both to new, creative ideas using the second screen, and standard gameplay styles. It has ALL the standard Dualshock/XBox controller buttons.

  78. Pingback: Michael Pachter: Perché qualcuno dovrebbe comprare un Wii U? | NintendOn

  79. Ah Michael Pachter, a fine example of the genus Herpaderpasaurus Talkingouttahisasschaps. Lest we forget the console has been out for nearly 8 months, and has more games on it than the other two unreleased systems at this moment in time, yep, certainly isn’t the time to be buying a Wii U is it? Games are games, they’re just not ones we can all agree on.

    Why should we buy a Wii U? Because it has games we like playing, with more to come a stone’s throw away. If it didn’t have games we liked playing, we wouldn’t buy. It’s not strictly about third-party support, it just helps when you have their support.

    Also, on that note, you know your desperate when your only argument underlines the sheer laziness of the industry full stop. Third-party devs are more excited about the PS4 and XO solely because of their PC-based architecture, cutting development time and expenses almost in half. If the industry demands so much power that it detracts from the overall experience of gaming, then count me out. I’ve got a PC for the power war, and I’m sure others have too.

  80. I LOVE HOW SONY TARDSVARE BUYING AREPEAT OF PS1 over and over and in a motion and mouse pointer and touch screen evolved gaming world

    CLAIMING TO BE NEXT-GEN

    THERE NOT CLEARLY THERE PLAYSTATION BRAND NOT NEXT GEN

    IF PS4 WAS NEXT GEN IT WOULD HAVE TWO SCREENS AND AMAZING ADVANCED CONTROLLER CHOICES

    IF YOU DONT EVOLVE INTO NEXT GENERATION

    YOUR NOT NEXT GENERATION

    IM SORRY BUT ITS CLEAR THE AVERAGE SNY FAN HAS NO BRAIN

  81. ps vita a snge screened OLD GEN handheld tried to compeat in a DUAL SCREENED NO GLASSES 3D HANDHELD WORLD

    THERE FOR (JESUS THIS IS COMMONSENSE) VITA WASNOT NEXT GEN IT WAS OLD GEN

    PS4 IS OLD GEN WIIU IS NEW GEN ENGINERRING FACT

  82. if there is already a dual screened system in the market evolving the experience and you follow with out that its OBSOLETE

    IF theres a system with full backward compatability and your system isnt that is a FAILIER

    IF A SYSTEM IS ON THE MARKET ALREADY WITH ADVANCED GAMEPAD -WII REMOTE PLUS AND A HUGE SELECTION F OLDER SYSTLE TRADITIONAL SO TO SPEAK CONTROLLERS

    THEN YOU RELEASE A YEAR LATER A NON COMPETING SYSTEM WITH ONE OUT DATED CONTROLLER

    ARE YOU NEXT GEN YES OR NO

    THIS IS SIMPLE LOGIC

  83. Remember a few months ago when he said he’d buy a Wii U for Bayonetta 2?
    And now he says this? LOL. what an hypocrite.

  84. Pingback: Pachter: "Why Would Anyone Buy a Wii U?"

  85. Because EA and Activision are such big losses. Are anyone who wants sports and shooters even interested in Nintendo consoles? Smash 4 and the fact that PlatinumGames seem to be throwing their lot in with Nintendo (or vice versa) are reason enough for me, Pachter.

  86. I don’t follow that man very often and i don’t agree with everything that he says but yesterday unfortunately I did put a ps4 on pre-order I do plan to take back my Wii U and all 12 the damn games I got I’m very irritated I’m going to make it a point to call Nintendo cause I’m also curious about all the stuff that I bought through the e shop if someone else is going to get it for free, that would really burn me up if somebody else was getting my stuff for free but it is what it is besides that planes Third Party support of there’s so many games that I actually want that I don’t have access to and this is where the problem is for me anywayI can’t just play Nintendo games, I’ve also said many of times they need to be more proactive in getting the mature titles in this is why everybody thinks the Nintendo Wii U is for kids… then you got these people that only Sheen you no whining about you know every title don’t have to be a mature title that’s not what I’m saying either you have to have a good balance and there is not a good balancebalance hell there’s not even enough third party support my opinion especially when I’m looking over my shoulder at that damn wack ass 360 in WAC ps3 and they’re getting all the titles that I want to see on my machine where leads me to this day to where I’m taking it back for sure

  87. There are plenty of gamers who love platformers, puzzle games, party games, and strategy games. The best of these are on Nintendo. Gamers who enjoy a good veriaty of games will want to choose between the playstation and xbox. Then also buy a wii u because the wii u is not as redundant as the playstation and xbox.

  88. The bigger question is… Why does anyone give a shit what this guy thinks anymore? Certainly, why post his biased articles on here?

  89. I bought it because it is the best controller in the market for me. It has all the buttons that you need and a touchscreen for added gameplay experience that differentiates it from Xbox and Playstation. Off tv play as well and I use the gamepad as an internet browser when my room tv is and my laptop is occupied. Great for local multiplayer that eliminates screen peeking and screen splitting in TVs. What more can you ask for other than more AAA and 3rd party mature games???

    Yes the console is underpowered compared to PS4 and Xbox1 but it can do 1080p and 60fps. It has also double-triple the RAM dedicated to processing games compared to last gen consoles. If we were ok already with 360 and ps3 graphics before and Nintendo gave it more power, it should be enough in my opinion to handle better looking games. Also I agree since day one that adding more power to the console is not just about graphics but taking off restrictions for game developers which also leads to unique gameplay ideas.

  90. Well, leave it to Patcher to generate a comment storm. Trying to get bad press off the Xbox 1 see. Man, and just when I was really starting to enjoy not having to see this guy’s BS. WHY do Nintendo sites, EVEN GONINTENDO, report on this guy. He’s an idiot…

  91. Just when I was in a good mood from the Pokémon X and Y news, This asshole comes and says something stupid.

  92. They’re not going to sell a lot of consoles if they don’t have games like FIFA and Battlefield and Call of Duty and Grand Theft Auto.

    Alright faggot now let me tell you why that’s bullshit.

  93. my question is “why should you be alive” i like my wii u and has games that im excited for that isnt sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports. sports.

    Is FIFA even a good game? I mean it’s literally the same game with no changes whatsoever. I understand for games like COD or GTA but FIFA???? WHY??

  96. Pachter, I think you need to shut the fuck up for a minute. I’m not one to post on these articles but I honestly can’t tell you how many times I’ve read a negative comment from him. If someone likes a product, they buy it. I don’t know why some people have a problem with that? It’s a video game console for crying out loud, and I like the games that are available for it. So, Pachter, make like a hockey player and get the “puck” out of here!

  97. I just realized something. Pachter didn’t say anything about the Xbox One when it was announced. He knows it was bad yet he didn’t say how he really felt about it. And he calls himself analyst.

  98. FIFA!? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Just you wait for a real football game. Next Level Games worked on Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon and you can bet they’re either brainstorming or developing Super Mario Strikers U…now THAT’s a fun, competitive football/soccer game.

  99. Currently I’m only playing Wii games on my Wii U and a lot of them are very cheap now, but I know I will get good Wii U games in the future.
