Nintendo Wii U GameCube controller will create more problems than solutions for Nintendo

Nintendo is making a GameCube like controller for the Wii U. This is one of Nintendo's most terrible idea as of late, the Nintendo Wii U will now have the Gamepad, the Wiimote, the pro controller and now this new controller that will reflect a lot to the design of the GameCube Controller. Could this be a step forward or bigger step back since maybe the new controllers are not really appealing to the audience like it was back at launch.

The main reason why this is a bad idea is because the Wii U is now becoming an accessory hub. This means that they're trying to encourage customers to purchase different accessories for different games but even so that's not the issue. The issue is towards Nintendo not having a main audience so these accessories will create clutter and more financial problems for the company.

Another issue I'm having with Nintendo this time, is that all this money can be focused towards developing more games or working with third-party developers to bring more games to the Wii U. Speaking of which, how do you expect for developers to react to this? Now they have to create code for this controller to provide functionality to the games they made. This will also revive an old issue Nintendo had in the past with the Wii U not being able to play GameCube titles on to gamepad. Except this time it can affect all the current games on the Wii U but maybe not affect previous GameCube titles which was probably their main intention.

Nonetheless the focus of Nintendo clearly hasn't changed, they are putting focus on other things aside from the main issue which is games. We keep hearing that they're working on titles but we don't only care about their main franchise games which is what they still don't understand. As a gamer personally I want to see more third-party support so that I know I have variety of games for the Wii U to play.

- Nintendo doing more cut backs and slashing more prices, could this be the end?

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

Once again Nintendo is as it again saying that they have poor sales and cutting prices on their products that seem to be getting the blame for sale drops. The Wii U is getting another Sales Target slash which could possibly lead to another possible price cut on perhaps future Wii U bundles.

On Friday Nintendo came out to say that they expect a 25 billion yen ($240 million) loss which is lower than the previous expected loss of 55 billion yen. The company now expects to be selling 2.8 million units worldwide of the Wii U which is significantly less than the 9 Million they estimated they would sell.

The reason why they had anticipated the 9 million in sales was because they hoped that the Holiday Season was going to help drive sale which clearly didn't really do much. 

Nintendo President Press Briefing

"During the year-end shopping season, we weren't able to life sales momentum for the Wii U," said Nintendo President Satoru Iwata in a press briefing.
Satoru Iwata then said, "The decrease in game software sales is having the biggest impact [on profit]".
"My duty, more than anything else, is to revive our business momentum," he said.

Nintendo is putting the blame on the cost for the production of the Wii U but the Nintendo 3DS was also costly and fared better in sales. The culprit is obvious the lack of titles, price point, poor use of hardware  that make the Wii U look like a accessory junk collection. The console has THREE possible controllers and the accessory Line Up is astonishing. Another issue is that Nintendo has always said that Price Point isn't the issue but it is; Mobile Gaming is affordable, fun, and lacks priority hardware. Adding on, Mobile Gaming also can now be played through TVs via Apple TV or other Mirroring Services. The key thing here being that most of it brings more functionality than just Gaming, with gaming being an alternative use of the hardware, which can't be said the same about Consoles and Handhelds.

- Deep Look into Nintendo's Mario Kart 8, could this be Nintendo's next big hit?

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

As Mario kart 8's tracks go live we learn more about what Nintendo is actually trying to do now.

Nintendo has recently been trying to promote their latest game by discussing and showing the tracks from Mario kart 8. Since they're not planning to do any big announcements during E3 this year they're trying to reach their audience in a different way. One of these ways is that they're promoting both Mario kart 8 as previously stated and they're trying to promote Super Smash Brothers for Wii U and 3DS. Along with showing the roster of characters that will be included in the new Super Smash Bros, they're also showing the new Mario Kart 8 tracks and songs that will accompany them. They not only claimed but showed and proved that most of the songs (if not all) were recorded live.

In most cases Games simply show what the game is about but Nintendo's trying to show every angle of one of their top games in order to encourage customers to buy it. This is where Nintendo can probably shine the best because as of late they haven't been bring in good sales, so perhaps now they can prove to their shareholders that even their top games can still bring in some good revenue.

Now let's talk about Mario Kart 8, Mario kart 8 so far looks extremely well polished at any angle and the way the stages are designed and how they look clearly show that this is the next iteration of the Mario kart series. During Nintendo Direct they showed many of the tracks and many of them have very high textures and also have many 3-D objects running all at the same time aside from just the racers. Mario kart 8 is definitely showing the power that Wii U has over the original Nintendo Wii. They also have to sort of make up for it because the Nintendo Wii U isn't backwards compatible with the GameCube anymore.

Nonetheless Nintendo can hopefully still prove that their games can be AAA quality to date like they were in the past. It also seems that whether it's in the music, in the design, or in Game Concepts; Nintendo can still put well polished games out there standing aside next to games like Halo and Call of Duty which don't bring family-friendly entertainment.

- Super Smash Bros being demoed at Best Buys and Nintendo's E3 announcements

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

The Electronic Entertainment Expo is coming around the corner and will be taking place in Los Angeles on June 10 through June 12. Each E3 brings forth the latest in gaming as well as announcements from the largest players in the industry such as Xbox, PlayStation, and Nintendo.

However this year Nintendo is mixing things up a bit and will instead do a live-streamed press conference focused on the people in attendance. This style event will be called "Nintendo Digital Event"[clever], they say this is a new format to display their next involvements in the upcoming years. They have also stated that there would be a tournament held in the Nokia Theater in LA and live demos at their booth.

Here's the best part apparently anyone can try out the new Super Smash Bros. at their local Best Buy and this event is being called "Smash-Fest". This is not only great for those who have been waiting for the game but a great way to showcase one of the best titles that Nintendo owns for their current platform and hopefully reach new sales. As we have previously mentioned Nintendo sales have been fluctuating up and down recently so this announcement/event plus the soon to be released Mario Kart 8 bundle can really bring Nintendo some decent sales[aka customers].

- Nintendo getting desperate for sales?

*Purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles.

As many of us are aware Nintendo has been going through some pretty tough times, every time their sales go slightly up they fall even more lower in the coming weeks.

As of late, to counter their falling stocks they have two Mark Kart Bundles coming out fairly soon as well as for the first time ever "DLC passes". The DLC passes will be for the upcoming Mario Golf game for the 3DS because we all know how fun Golf is.

(Game Bundle [without console])

Many of these strategies for the company are to hopefully attract users with affordability and extras like T-shirts but the make-over that Nintendo needs is beyond that at this point. Many consoles have loads of games with DLC, so let's hope perhaps Mario Kart has DLC as well to see further support on the game which could also benefit Nintendo.

- PlayStation 4 approaches 6 million sold!

* = (UPDATE) This means our sources for factual evidence, that's right we purchased some memberships, now working with freelance journalist to bring news even faster to you. We however cannot disclose most of our associated sources due to terms and agreements, please enjoy our articles. (And my smashing grammar)

The PlayStation 4 launched in Japan on Saturday and as of recent released statistics* the PlayStation 4 has sold over 322,083 units. This now bumps up the PlayStation 4 closer towards the 6 million sales, with Xbox One following at 3.5 million sales. The PlayStation 4 also did better than the Wii U at launch (Only pulled in 308,570 at launch). However at the end no system has yet matched the Nintendo Wii (371,936; at launch) and PS2 (630,522; at launch) sales.

Within the past two weeks the PlayStation sold 5.3 million units world wide, as of now it is confirmed to have reached over 5.4 million units sold. Japan truly helped pull in some numbers.
