How would I save the WII U?
>Delay the launch of the 3DS till 2014, (the 3DS also wouldnt be the 3DS, it would have a 480p non 3D screen and have power almost completely identical to the gamecube, I think i will call this system the Ultra DS/UDS)
>Early titles that the 3DS recieved in OTL (our time line) such as kid icarus uprising (excellent game, but a physical chore to play on the 3DS), fire emblem awakening, A link between worlds, new leaf, SMT 4, and Pokemon XY would be year 1/launch titles for the WII U, these games would have expanded scopes and greater budgets
>the WII was a fad and motion controls were not the future, WII hardware and especially software sales fell off a cliff after 2009 the WII U will be renamed to the UNES (ultra nintendo), it will have backwards compatibility with WII games but wont come with a wii remote nor will motion controls be a primary feature of the system, the excellent WII U pro controller that has a battery life that could outlive my grandpa will be the stock controller for the system
>obviously marketing will make it clear that this is a new game system and not an add on for the WII
>playing nintendoland with my brother as a kid is one of the top 10 gaming experiences in my life, I do believe that the Gamepad was a very strong concept that was just lacking in execution, it is essentially a home console version of the DS and devs made excellent use of the dual screen feature on both the DS and 3DS, nintendo would still be making these systems if mobile gaming slop didnt ahnilate the dedicated handheld market, im really mixed on whether the execution of the gamepad could just be done better or if the idea should just be scrapped and have the UNES essentially be nintendos return to the traditional console market, im leaning on the ladder but I would like to hear what you guys say about it, having a 3DS act as the tablet instead could also be an interesting idea
>The WII U/UNES neeeds to be capable of recieving most multiplatform games on the PS4/XBONE in compromised but still decent versions, yet again the WII was a fad and developers gave up pouring resources into dedicated wii "ports" of multiplatform games, and the switch is a handheld system where the convinience of portable gaming outways the cons of poorly perfoming multiplat games, the WII U/UNES could not afford to be weak even if the system is sold at a loss
> also just overall the hardware needs to be much easier to program for, nintendos online services needed to be better, the WII U/UNES OS needs to be completely redone, the 3DS struck a perfect balance between personality/bueaty and functionality
curious what you guys would do to save this system
