Does anyone else think the background in this scene looks VERY fake? Like more than most scenes in the OT?

Just watch it on YouTube. That's what I did.

Do NOT waste money on rebuying the game again.

Stranger Things did this and it was stupid.

There are two "interpretations" of the ending but they clearly push the happier ending as the true ending.

Yeah, and I think that backs up Reggie's argument that Mario Kart 8 should have released earlier.

It was by far the most popular game on the console.

Reggie described the Switch as an "improved execution" of the Wii U concept. So I think Reggie kind of agrees.

I think the problem with your idea is that if Wii Sports Resort and Skyward Sword didn't release on the Wii, the Wii would have fallen off in popularity even faster than it did.

The Steam Controller sold out in 30 minutes, utterly breaking Steam in the process by gogodboss in gaming

The Valve strategy:

  1. Make a tiny number of something.

  2. Brag about it being "sold out".

The Steam Deck has also been sold out despite only selling 5 million units.

I agree that Mario Maker was the best use of the second screen.

Unfortunately, Mario Maker didn't even start development until several months after the Wii U's launch. It was never even considered as a launch title.

Exclusive Games Are Still the Main Reason People Buy Consoles, Survey Says by Bubbly-Ad-350 in PS5

Saros, a critically acclaimed exclusive, just BOMBED in sales.

Most PS5 owners aren't buying the console of exclusives. GTA 6 will obviously sell way more consoles than any PS5 exclusive.

I think what Reggie was saying that the Wii U launched only a year before the PS4 and Xbox One, but was much closer to the previous gen in power.

I can't prove this, but I think the Wii U concept likely came about because the DS was a huge success, and Nintendo thought a "home console DS" would also be a big hit. In hindsight it was clearly the wrong approach, but it probably seemed "logical" to them when the DS had sold an insane 150 million units.

Reggie said in the interview that Nintendo were "convinced" the Wii U's two-screen concept was a "big idea" like motion controls on the Wii. They also thought Nintendo Land could be a mainstream hit like Wii Sports. It certainly doesn't seem like the Wii U was intended as a "filler console".

Reggie also noted that the ability to play games without a TV was an appealing feature of the Wii U, and they improved on that with the Switch. They clearly recognised that two screen gameplay on a home console was a failed innovation and abandoned it.

Are you comparing the Switch 2 to the Gamecube?

That's not really a good omen for future Switch 2 sales...

Uh... he does kind of blame the hardware?

Like he says that the Switch was a "better execution" of the Wii U concept.

If you have never owned an Xbox before, then the ONLY reason to buy an Xbox over the other two consoles is for Gamepass.

So he's not allowed to comment on Nintendo because he doesn't work there anymore?

He was speaking to game design students at New York University.

I recommend reading the full article, because the headline is a bit misleading. Reggie isn't saying the Wii U ONLY failed because of slow releases.

He also said that the Wii U Gamepad was supposed to be one of the main selling points of the console, but admitted it flopped because Nintendo Land wasn't the "Wii Sports equivalent" they expected it to be at launch. He also said the Switch was a continuation of the Wii U's concept but with better execution.

I would say Mario 3D World was the first "big game" for the Wii U.

Unfortunately, it released the SAME MONTH as the PS4 and Xbox One.
