What went so fucking wrong holy shit?

>awful controller
What?

Literally just the marketing.

I avoided that due to the censorship.

Does the uncensored one have English?

user, the 3ds is 9 years old.

i got a blowjob while playing wind waker on one so in my mind it's a win

It's better than the switch.

>But goddamn if it didn't have some of the best games Nintendo ever put out
BOTW is one of the worst zelda games ever
DKCTF is one of the worst DKC games ever
Game & Wario is one of the worst wario games ever
Kirby rainbow curse is one of the worst kirby games ever
SF 0 got panned but its actually good aside from the dumb dual screen aiming system
Captain Toad is ok but not worth $60 at all
NSMBU is subpar like the rest of the NSMB games except the original ds one
Sm4sh is mediocre

For non Nintendo:
Bayo2 is just another average platinum action game
Sonic boom sucked

Only good games it has are yoshi wooly world, xenoblade chronicles x, hyrule warriors, mario 3d world, mario maker and mario kart 8. Most of which got ported

this thing let me play wii games with headphones on so it's all right in my book

they ported its amazing library to switch.

See, I could get through the entire first part of games you don't like by saying it comes down to personal taste, but it gets way too obvious when you start the closer with "wooly world and xeno x are good"

>mom can we buy a wii u
>no we already have a wii at home

The Wii U's sales were a steep drop from the heights of the Wii, but they were not such a far cry from the sales of the Wii's predecessors, the GameCube and the Nintendo 64. When Sony entered the home console market in 1995 sales of Nintendo consoles declined. The Nintendo 64 sold 33 million (vs. PS1's 102 million) and the GameCube sold 22 million (vs. PS2's 155 million). Their successor, the Wii, was a stroke of genius, a craze, and Nintendo captured the mainstream momentarily.

When the fever wore off, however, Nintendo was in the same position as they were before. In fact, worse. In the GameCube era, Nintendo had enjoyed substantial third-party support. But by 2012 Nintendo had become an afterthought to third parties. Nintendo wasn't keeping up in terms of power, and the general wisdom was that only Nintendo games sold on Nintendo systems. Despite this, Nintendo sought to win third parties back. You may remember Nintendo's E3 conference before the Wii U's release. At it Nintendo emphasized that they would have hardcore games on the system. It would have games like Assassin's Creed and Batman: Arkham Knight and Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

The problem was that we were on the cusp of a new generation, and everyone knew it. The PS4 would be revealed a few months later. Hardcore gamers were not going to buy a Wii U as their console for the next generation. Neither were the mainstream interested in Nintendo anymore. They were busy with the iPhone and Facebook games. So Nintendo had alienated the hardcore—if they were going to buy it at all, it would be after either the PlayStation or the Xbox—and the mainstream had abandoned them. So who was left? Hardcore Nintendo fans.

So after reading all that you might ask, "So why is the Switch doing so well?" The Switch is doing well because it's the successor to both the Wii U and the 3DS. Nintendo's handhelds have always thrived. The Switch is a hit because it's attracting both their console and their handheld audience to one device.

Even if the controller did turn out to be good, very few people can look at that and think it will be comfortable or anything better than their past experiences. Calling it a Wii U as well, but then having an unfamiliar controller, would have also thrown off the mainstream. Nintendo should have done a better job of making it clear what the product was. its getting a lot more praise now, and is heavily desired for its homebrew capabilities at least

>nintendo needs to stop making people buy actual controllers separated from the console

The fuck is this supposed to mean? Are we supposed to only have one controller per system and do all our multiplayer online in enclosed, darkened rooms like good little eSports drones?

The Wii's success made them too cocky. They showed off the controller first so people though they just had to buy a new controller for their Wiis. They didn't show off the console itself until days after they revealed the controller which confused customers.

>started good, had some interesting games.
>first party dev got slower and slower
>demand was bigger than nintendo could handel.
>switch came out

Partnering with EA.

it's like the switch.

>like the rest of the NSMB games except the original ds one

NSMB1 is the weakest installment, I don't know why people consider it the best one. all the others did it better even if they weren't as original, I played it after NSMBWii and considered the DS one a distinct downgrade
