He is not wrong.
The rest of the truth is that Wii U's launch line-up was also "meh".

Meh launches everywhere!!!!

It's the dawn of a new Meh-neration!

That sounded better in my mind than read out loud. :/

 

[Village]

If their launch line ups are meh, then what the hell is Nintendo's launch line up? Utter dogshit?

To be fair, I think all their launch line ups are crap, all the good stuff do not come out till laters.

 

[alr1ght]

I love the "you can't have fun and good technology at the same time" meme.

It's been going on since the Wii was released.

 

[-Horizon-]

It's almost as though he's paid to promote Nintendo consoles over competitive products.

This is kind of why I'm not getting some of the responses in this thread. Isn't this his job?

 

[Fatal Futanari]

I just said they both have meh lineups...

My wut was towards your KI comment.

 

[FZZ]

Do you hear them? The warriors are making their way here, hide everybody, HIDE!

Edit: I was too late, they're walking among us.

 

[alr1ght]

This is kind of why I'm not getting some of the responses in this thread. Isn't this his job?

It's fun to laugh at PR people.

 

[Guess Who]

“I look at our lineup of titles and I feel good about our lineup. We’ve got Zelda. We’ve got Mario. We’ve got Donkey Kong. In addition to great titles like Pikmin 3 and Wonderful 101, I feel very good about our lineup, and I feel very good about the value proposition we’re putting out there for the consumer.”

Instantly made me think of Steve Ballmer on the iPhone in 2007:

We have our strategy, we've got great Windows Mobile devices in the market today. You can get a Motorola Q phone now for $99, it's a very capable machine. It'll do music, it'll do Internet, it'll do email, it'll do instant messaging. So, I kinda look at that and I say, well, I like our strategy. I like it a lot.

 

[InfiniteNine]

Well I want The Wonderful 101 out of what he listed so I guess they have that going for them in my eyes!

 

[MMaRsu]

As an old Nintendo fan I look at the Wii U line-up and say meh

 

[brinstar]

I agree with him, though it's not like the Wii U's was any better. But really, what is he supposed to say?

 

[SmokedMeat]

Reggie on PS4/Xbone record breaking preorders - "Meh"

 

[Syphon Filter]

It's surprising how many people are hanging their hats on a F2P fighting game developed by a Western studio with a mediocre track record.

It's not a f2p game and there has been times where a mediocre developer made great games. I see the game and it looks fine,i don't see it being bad honestly. Don't forget Rare is overseeing it too.

 

[BigTnaples]

Well I already bought both of those consoles and WiiU is the first Nintendo console I haven't bought, including the virtual boy.


I would worry about your sinking console before trying to fire shots at ones that aren't out yet.

 

[Kimawolf]

Well it's not like he's lying, they are "meh". They are like just about every other launch line up ever sans Dreamcast and the N64 only on count of Mario 64. The game that basically defined modern 3d gaming.

And also, just because Nintendo is doing pretty badly with Wii U doesn't make the other two consoles immune to criticism. so saying "but wii u is meh" we know that, it doesn't change what the other two are looking like.

 

[antitrop]

I consider the launches of each respective console almost better than the entirety of the whole lineup that's there for WiiU.

I agree.

 

[Shaanyboi]

hahahaha

oh man. Killzone shadow fall isn't decent looking?

It's very pretty. The problem is that it's still fucking Killzone.

 

[jond76]

It was a ploy to get you to talk about Nintendo again.

"You guys are poop!"
. -Reggie

 

[illmatic22]

What did you expect him to say?

 

[FinalStageBoss]

I agree with him actually. Both launch line ups are pretty "meh". But the Wiiu is also extremely "meh" imo.

 

[CambriaRising]

I, for one, am SHOCKED that he feels this way.

 

[AzaK]

Reggie is going to get his ass pounded by the PS4.

I hope so. Nintendo need a schooling.

"We’ve got Zelda. We’ve got Mario. We’ve got Donkey Kong."

Go back 20 years and you'll hear the same thing.

Yup. He just lists characters and not games which shows how arrogant he is. Basically he's saying. 'Doesn't matter how good or bad our games are, so long as it has our mascots in it people will all it up'

He's got some cheek talking down other companies launch line ups.

Hehehehe.

 

[kewlmyc]

Zelda's a port
Donkey Kong looks fun
Mario 3D World looks disappointing.

Nice one Nintendo. I'll wait for Smash Bros, Bayonetta 2, and Mario Kart 8

 

[Marjar]

I love how defensive people are getting over something like this.

What did you expect him to say?

 

[weaponlordzero]

It's very pretty. The problem is that it's still fucking Killzone.

I watched the Killzone gameplay video and wasn't impressed. It looks like something this generations hardware could do.

 

[kunonabi]

Pretty much my opinion on the launch lineups. Xbone might have 3 good exclusives which is about on par with what the Wii u had. As much as I prefer the ps4 as a console in comparison to the xbon there isn't a single game I'd buy for it at launch. Wii u on the other hand has like 10 games I really want for the rest of the year.

 

[Deadstar]

I agree with him actually. Both launch line ups are pretty "meh". But the Wiiu is also extremely "meh" imo.

I have to disagree. Killzone looks absolutely mind blowing. Granted, I'm a Killzone fan, but it looks incredible. I think Knack will also be fun. The environments do look bland but if I can get big I'll have gotten my money's worth.

 

[Bald Cleft]

People have different tastes. Relax, GAF

 

[TheGreatMightyPoo]

oh he really did say meh

That's what I came for.

Not disappointed, thread title actually delivered.

 

[PhantomR]

"We’ve got Zelda. We’ve got Mario. We’ve got Donkey Kong."

Go back 20 years and you'll hear the same thing.

And they still sell 20 years later.

 

[Raist]

It looks like another Killzone...so no, not really?

Funny you'd say that in a thread about reggie namedropping Mario, Zelda, Pikmin etc etc.

 

[Boogalogist]

Reggie on the Wii U sales, "Meh. What is wrong with you people?"

 

[hongcha]

What did you expect him to say?

Exactly. He's not going to come out and lavish praise on the competition or even say something like "yeah, they have some interesting games", unless he wants to be fired.

 

[Curufinwe]

It's not a f2p game and there has been times where a mediocre developer made great games. I see the game and it looks fine,i don't see it being bad honestly. Don't forget Rare is overseeing it too.

Two mediocre developers are better than one, I guess.

 

[Stoffinator]

.

Shamefully I want to play that. I watch Jeff on Giantbomb play it.

 

[MYE]

It's the dawn of a new Meh-neration!

That sounded better in my mind than read out loud. :/

You mean its "the yawn of the new Meh-neration"

Seriously. These launch window releases are shieeettttttt
I have absolutely no desire to buy a PS4 or Xbone so far. And the Wii U gets the upperhand right now because of Wonderfull 101 Smash

Spoiler

and maybe MK8

Sony should have made the PS4 BC. They done fucked up in my book. See you in three years PS4

 

[SniperHunter]

I am honestly SHOCKED at his arrogance. He just insulted the biggest games by EA, Activision, Ubisoft, Sony and MS. No wonder why wii U has minimal third party support.

 

[Combichristoffersen]

Yup. He just lists characters and not games which shows how arrogant he is. Basically he's saying. 'Doesn't matter how good or bad our games are, so long as it has our mascots in it people will all it up'

And they still sell 20 years later.

Hmmmm.....

 

[def sim]

It's surprising how many people are hanging their hats on a F2P fighting game developed by a Western studio with a mediocre track record.

It's not as if we're going in blindly, they show it in FGC streams fairly regularly. The further away they get from the original KI games, the more interesting it gets.

heh

 

[-COOLIO-]

"We’ve got Zelda. We’ve got Mario. We’ve got Donkey Kong."

I have to admit, when he says it like that it sounds oh so derivative.

 

[KillerTravis]

Reggie is so awesome, this thread is going to claim victims fast.

 

[Bending_Unit_22]

I agree with Reggie on the PS4 and Xbone lineups. The problem for Reggie is I find the Wii U's 18 month lineup pretty meh as well. Thank goodness for the 3DS on the non-PC/other front.

 

[T'Zariah]

I watched the Killzone gameplay video and wasn't impressed. It looks like something this generations hardware could do.

You're either extremely blind and need your eyes check or you SERIOUSLY overestimate what the Ps3 or 360whatever can do. But considering the quality of posts when it comes to consoles I'm honestly not surprised.

 

[theRizzle]

NeoGAF user theRizzle on Wii U lineup: "Meh"


opinions and such

 

[Colonel Mustard]

Funny you'd say that in a thread about reggie namedropping Mario, Zelda, Pikmin etc etc.

You mean three franchises with (typically) quality releases? I've played Killzone 1, 2 and the PSP game...they're all OK, sorta.

 

[princemarth23]

Well PS4 and XBone's launch lineups dont appeal to me at all, personally. While Wii U's launch lineup was indeed very weak, it's got the better exclusive lineup this fall/winter imo.

 

[ThoughtsOfSpeaking]

oh lawd.

The launch PS4 indies are more interesting that Nintendo is offering this year for me. Much less anything else.

 

[Syphon Filter]

Two mediocre developers are better than one, I guess.

Rare is great ; )

 

[Twin Tails]

Enjoy them 3rd party support.
