The Wii U: Is It Dead Yet?

Hey guys, this is Austin, and I'm staying here at the Nintendo bus at E3 with one question: is the Wii U dead? Nintendo showed off quite a few new games here, so probably one of the biggest ones is going to be Super Smash Brothers. This is going to be coming to both the 3DS as well as the Wii U next year, and this is definitely one of the most popular franchises that Nintendo has right now.

Mario Kart 8 will also be hitting the Wii U soon. Now this will actually really surprised me at the actual graphics; it actually doesn't look too far off from something like the PlayStation 4 or Xbox One, which of course are much more powerful systems. Super Mario World is another game hitting the Wii U. This is kind of a mix between the standard kind of 2D side-scrolling Mario action as well as a little bit of 3D. This will also look really really nice.

Where it gets a little bit more tricky is the fact that there really weren't a whole lot of third-party games for the Wii U, so probably the biggest one is going to be Watch Dogs from Ubisoft. Now that is going to be hitting massively the next gen consoles but also the current gen, 360, PS3, and also the Wii U. Ubisoft is still working on Wii U games however they have said that they are not going to be making any kind of exclusive games until it actually starts selling better.

The real question is what does Nintendo have to do now? With pretty poor sales with the Wii U, it's very clear that a lot of people don't even really understand that the Wii U is an actual new console as opposed to some kind of tablet add-on to the current Wii. The Wii U being significantly down on power compared to the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One makes it stephane going to be difficult to see a lot of third-party games such as Battlefield 4 and Call of Duty: Ghosts being just directly ported over.

However, of course Nintendo will always have their great first-party support with games like Mario, Pokémon, and Super Smash Brothers that kind of stuff. So, steadily going to be interesting to see but from what I'm seeing here it definitely does look like it's time for Nintendo to do something whether it's a price cut or just something to get some buzz going back around the Wii U.

Now that we know just about everything about the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One, I'm curious to know what you guys think about the Wii U. Is it still an awesome console or does Nintendo have some work to do to actually make it stack up with the best of the best? Definitely be sure to let me know in the comments below if you guys are interested in more. Feel free to check out my hands-on of the new PlayStation 4 and if you enjoyed, definitely be sure to leave this video a thumbs up and be sure to subscribe for more III coverage like this.

Anyway, guys, I will catch you next time
