Nintendo really does a great job getting their game ready for launch without HUGE day one patches to fix the game and broken online out the gate.

Mk8, Splatoon, Pokken, Smash had flawless launches.

Good job Nintendo.

I know there is going to be a joke about there is only one Wii U owner in the whole world.

That's because people only complain when thing go wrong, there is not much to say about Nintendo.

On the topic, I also like that they release stuff on Friday's. Nothing like picking up Pokemon on a Friday and having the weekend

But they don't go down? I don't get your joke.

You didn't read OP's last sentence, did you?

lmfao

But there is truth to it. Nintendo doesn't launch into massive markets.

He already predicted your predictable first post so it lost any real poignancy.

MK8 had pretty awful disconnect issues. Better now but people would drop after a few games at launch.

Smash was laggy unless everyone had a perfect connection, dunno if that's fixed as I was tired of a quarter of the matches feeling unplayable.

 

[Kouriozan]

Pokémon Bank first day was only released in Japan and it crashed the eShop for everyone.

 

[KarmaCow]

It's a sad state of affairs where a product you've bought simply working, or rather not being actively on fire is somehow worthy of praise.

 

[ViewtifulJC]

Didn't play Splatoon, but MK8 and "flawless launch" should not be together like that. GAF room disconnects like a mothafucka

 

[KZXcellent]

What a charming first post.

 

[balladofwindfishes]

When Smash 4 3DS launched in Japan it would auto ban Peach users that pulled items up with their down special because it thought they were hacking.

Pokebank was taken down for an entire month at launch due to server issues, and delayed outside of Japan.

You do know the eshop broke basically any time a new character came out right?

Someone actively chose to not read a few sentences for a childish, out-of-date remark of shade.

Congrats, homie. You got dat first post, but it's like chunky milk.

I agree, that's why I edited. Childish BS from me.

Same here usually when most of the game releases are on a tuesday I never have time to play them since I usually have to work and go to school during the week so the only time I ever have to really play is on the weekend.

Hopefully more companies try and follow suit.

 

[trixx]

Why the game $75 Canadian, it looks dope but damn hell nah at that price

 

[SalvaPot]

We need YOU

To join the Nintendo army. We have free online service.

And amiibo. Way too many amiibo.

4.
Apparently there are only 4 Wii U owners in the world.

 

[Astral Dog]

What does that have to do with Uncharted?

This guy knows what's up.

 

[blue_phazon]

No one deserves praise for doing the bare minimum.

That's like spending the afternoon with someone and expecting a cookie because you didn't rob them when you could have.

 

[Raw64life]

Atrocious first post.

And it's sad that this is something to be commended. It should be the rule, not the exception.

I do love the Friday releases. Wish all games would love to that. Great way to end a work week.

This honestly isn't funny and distasteful. Nintendo does a good job I agree OP. I've had some small problems with Smash though.

Splatoon sold more than Halo 5 tho

So two besides two separate times Nintendo has done a great job with those dozens of other games they publish every year.

 

[PotionBleue]

Launch server issues don't bother me much as they're to be expected, as long as it doesn't drag on like a Driveclub debacle.

The only thing that I truly appreciate is that Nintendo's online service is free, so I can tolerate the antiquated functionalities or occasional server outage. Even then, I only remember two occurrences of serious problems (launch of Pokémon X/Y and Japanese launch of Pokémon Bank + eShop NNID linking on 3DS). Meanwhile you see threads about other online services' malfunctions every other week on NeoGAF.

However, I don't see Nintendo criticized enough for its pathetic handling of cheaters. On Wii, 3DS and even now Wii U you start seeing hackers online and Nintendo doesn't ban them or give you tools to report them.

 

[Whales]

that's actually crazy if true

 

[Max_Po]

Wii U development is nothing compared to PS4/Xbox1


isn't Wii U development on last gen principles... not huge budget...

PS3 and Xbox360 game launches never had such issues either.
