Some of the best Wii U games consist of the most iconic Nintendo franchises. Q: What are the best-selling Wii U games Even though the console did not perform well in terms of sales, Nintendo fans still got a ton of great games. I would say “I hope Nintendo eventually goes bankrupt for their bullshit, so you white knights will finally learn how stupid you all were for supporting their bullshit & letting them do as they pleased.” But then those of us that truly care about Nintendo’s games would lose a good chunk of what keeps us gaming while you people just flock to the next big thing because that’s what casual gamers do best. The Wii U did not provide enough hardware advancements to warrant another purchase so soon after the Wii. Nintendo’s entire marketing these days is utter shit unless, like I said, it’s family friendly. But since they weren’t family friendly like Splatoon, NoA said “Fuck ’em.” What’s sad is NoE & NoJ aren’t doing any better with marketing.
Like Nintendo of Latin America, I knew Nintendo’s American Sect would probably have the “Oh it’s a niche title so we don’t see the need in doing mass marketing!” mindset when, in reality, because it’s a niche title it needs mass marketing. ~*Nintendo failed that game just like they failed Bayonetta 2 & Fatal Frame 5 because they didn’t do mass marketing for them. How do they know Bayonetta wouldn’t have sold better had they given it a solid marketing push? I’m worried that Nintendo is more entrenched in its stubborn, out of touch ways than ever, and I think they believe that they were only wrong about the approach itself with the Wii U, not the targeted market, i.e., families, and if Nintendo tries to releases another happy-family-friendly-fun machine, it’s going to be a damn hard sell for me. Instead they pour truckloads of money into marketing games like Splatoon and Mario Kart/3D World/Party, complete with commercials of happy families enjoying playing these games together. In fact, they appear to have backed away from any recent efforts to appeal to its core fanbase. The 10 Best-Selling Nintendo Wii U Games The Nintendo Wii U may have not been one of the better selling consoles in gaming history but a handful of games proved to be hits for it.
They had an opportunity, and they chose not to capitalize on it. I say this because Nintendo had an opportunity to alter its image and trajectory with games like the ones you mentioned, i.e., Bayonetta, Fatal Frame (which didn’t even get a physical release), Xenoblade, etc. People want to think that Nintendo will have learned its lesson with the NX, and although I am confident Nintendo will make many changes, I’m doubtful they will be the changes that fans want to see. And that sheds light on a very important point.
