I had game station X (all 3 systems). Xbox was Halo 1 and Ninja Gaiden 1 that was it. pS2 for everything else. GameCube at least had all the Nintendo games + soul caliber 2 with Link!!!!!!!
I actually really liked GameCube especially the controller. Wii was wakeful and then Wii U is even worse. Not much of a difference between supermmario Wii and Wii U Mario
Nintendo needs
1.) new system with better graphics and online play
2.) price drop to 199 with a game or 230 with Mario Kart
3.) patch up things with 3rd parties. I remember not having EA support was one of the things that killed Sega which then dreamcast was much better then then PS2
4.) introduce Metroid,Zelda and a Mario Galaxy game. Having an 2 year old system that's best game is a 10 year old Zelda remake is unacceptable
1. Why better graphics? I'm looking at those in-game rendered images from the new Zelda and I'm wondering how do we improve on that. If other studios can't find an art direction that suits the Wii U then it's their shortcoming. Mario Kart 8 could only be improved by running at 1080p.
Online play depends on the game. All Nintendo, Sony and MS do is run servers that games connect to. Nintendo's online games like MK8 work flawlessly. Join friends, play against randoms, form groups.
2. I'm not sure what that is in my currency, but here the Wii U is cheaper than PS4 and Xbox One. IIRC it's around 1/3 the price.
3. They do need more support, but that has always been the way with all Nintendo systems. Even the really successful ones (Wii, NES, SNES) had bad 3rd party support. DC also flopped due to massive hype for the PS2, lack of DVD player and piracy that caused 3rd parties to abandon it.
4. Windwaker HD is the Wii U's best game? I'd have put Mario 3D World, Mario Kart 8 or Luigi U above it, and I loved Windwaker when I first played it. Similarly the game that seemingly got the most cheers at Microsoft's event was a collection of old games ported to their new system, and Sony are riding very high on bringing over a last-gen game (TLOU).
Don't get me wrong Nintendo has its problems but those aren't solutions.
No way should it cost anywhere near a Ps4 or Xbox 1
Those don't come with Gamepads tablet devices.
That was the great thing about the game cube it was half the price of the other 2 so it was just a 2nd system you could buy. Wasn't really competing tho GameCube to Xbox isn't as bad of a comparison graphically or even internet wise(xbox live wasn't available for a while) as it is to compare Wii U and PS4. Play Ghost or Infamous on PS4 and then play a Wii U game. Looks like you are playing Super Nintendo haha
But what's wrong with that? I've put more time into Mario 3D World, "a SNES game" than I have Infamous because it's a lot more fun. I'm really enjoying Infamous' world and characters but it's really short and not as enjoyable as GTAV, in my opinion. And it's not just me, Metacritic has Mario 3D World at 93% and Infamous at 80%.

Perfect

Are we taking bets? My guesses:
No new "main" Zelda for Wii U New Metroid Prime for Wii U - Nothing at all from Valve
- GTA V for PS4, Xbox One and PC. 1080p on consoles
New gamepad for Wii U that has a 3DS/DS slot on it - Little Big Planet 3 announcement
- Cryptic Halo 5 announcement
- Free roaming Mirrors Edge 2
Aww. Not even sure about that last one either!
