I'm not going to do a full out blog about Nintendo NX....or at least I hope not lol. But I am going to raise a few questions and feel free to comment, oppose me, criticize me, whatever. But I have questions and statements for the fans and for myself that have to come out. Nintendo NX, thats all anyone is talking about this week. I mean its all over IGN, Gamespot, Polygon,Giant Bomb, you name it, they are talking about it, so now its my turn. First and foremost, WHY?!? I mean the Wii U is still a kid, hasn't even had much time to grow up and be enjoyed by enough people, doesn't even have a full line up of games that have high peak interest. So why release another console so soon? Is it just simply because they have not sold as much as Sony and Microsoft, or is there another catch here. Most people guaranteed will say it is because Nintendo lost too much money on the Wii U, so they have to come out with something better to compete with Sony and Microsoft. Now I'm not a Wii U fan, I really don't like the console...sorry Nintendo, I have been a fan for years but this is not my cup of tea. But, Nintendo has done something that Sony and Microsoft has not brought to the table. That is a console that is something different. And this started way back with the Wii, and that console I was a fan because it had great games like Zelda: Twilight Princess, New Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Country, Call Of Duty Black Ops, Metroid...Great Games! The Wii and Wii you were different then the competition so they had something to sell that no one else could bring. And fans will say what about the kinect for 360 and the Move for PS3, but those sucked, and everyone knows it. The motion games on the Wii were awesome, and some of these games on the Wii U are just as much fun...problem with the Wii U is they have no third party game support. And they WON’T FIGHT TO GET ANY?!? I’m a firm believer that if the Wii U had more third party games, they would be more of a hit. They need games like Destiny, and Elder Scrolls, and Tomb Raider, but they don't have it. And the only people I can think to blame is Nintendo themselves, it’s like they just gave up on the Wii U and said the hell with it we will develop a new console that will probably be a mirror image of the PS4 and the One. I can't conform anything, but I know they have lost a lot of money and I think they believe the only way to make more money is to be like the people they are competing with. And it is because they have already failed at being different so they will try a different approach because it is what most gamers want. They want to be able to buy the Nintendo NX, get games like Call of Duty, and play online with their friends on a gamer friendly network that all their friends are on. It’s frustrating and I understand why Nintendo is doing what they are doing and I don't’ understand. Because I don't care what they say, they are not going to support the Wii U once the NX is out. Yes, they will support the 3DS because it blows away handheld competition, but the Wii U does not so they will drop it just as quick as they dropped the Wii when the Wii U was released. And I’m not a Wii U supporter, I just feel like they are slapping their fans in the face who do own a Wii U and enjoy the console. By summer next year, Nintendo is stating that they will release a console that will re-capture their fans and the gaming nation. Part of me is excited, and part of me is like, yeah right. Guess we will have to wait and see. I’m sure we are not done with the hype and gaming news on this console. And I’m sure this won’t be the last time I post about the NX either so stay tuned!
