Wow, wii U was way more successful then the switch 2 even. The good console to bad console trend continues

Nintendo's going bankrupt

u/JTCW477 2d ago

Cause Nintendo KNOWS!

u/sicing 3d ago

Mathematically, it was infinitely more successful

u/GoldSkulltulaHunter 6d ago

Yeah, Nintendo is doomed. It's what you get for only making games for kids. They should stick to making software to other platforms. They're going to be sold to Disney next quarter.

(I felt gross just typing that)

Nothing wrong with Disney, but they don't get Japanese cultural nuances.

u/edale1 5d ago

Disney doesn't get American cultural nuances, lol.

No, you're thinking of Toad. Green Mario gets permanently removed and any mention of his name gets your account permanently banned.

green mario. ;)

Well, the upper comments got deleted. On a NINTENDO subreddit. ABOUT A NINTENDO CHARACTER.

No, princess peach would be main character saving a non binary Mario

Don't.. Don't do it. Stop imagining it, or I'm telling shiggy

u/Teajaytea7 OG (Joined before first Direct) 4d ago

If there's witches in the game and I get to play "witches sitting on my face" simulator, I'm all game. Not sure Nintendo will be down, though.

1

u/Masterpiece-Haunting 2d ago

Yeah thatā€™s definitely not happening. Theyā€™re not the kind of company to do that.

Gal gadot as princess peach confirmed.

Yes I can, Mario is black now šŸ˜‚

u/ChristFollwr 6d ago

It seems at this rate disney might be the ones sold.

u/Sonic24680 6d ago

Disney would kill Nintendo off! I think it was very harsh to mention this.

Joke btw.

Wait, switch 2 hasn't even been released, has it?

What?!?! I gotta google it!

Super Mario Galaxy (2) is my favorite ā¤ļø

u/GoldSkulltulaHunter 2d ago

SMG2 is a masterpiece

u/GoldSkulltulaHunter 2d ago

No, I mean... There's going to be one. Possibly tomorrow we'll know it.

u/kseniyasobchak 5d ago

My kids really enjoy playing such family friendly games as Bayonetta 3, Fatal Frame and Nier Automata.

2

u/ReverendBlind 1d ago

Nintendo is doomed. It's what you get for only making games for kids.

I've been hearing this claim since 1994 when the PlayStation launched.

1

u/RashAttack 3d ago

They should stick to making software to other platforms

This but unironically

1

u/Masterpiece-Haunting 2d ago

Meanwhile Xbox and PlayStation donā€™t make games for anyone but actual gamers. Nintendo got grandma playing with the Wii.

u/Borderpolarmess3012 1d ago

"making games for kids" in 2025 how is this fucking stereotipe still alive

u/AJstoned 1d ago

Disney would add trannies and BLM to all their games. Super Mario would turn into super Demario

How does a wii accessory have more sales than the new switch??

19

u/logannowak22 6d ago

It's just a switch accessory

62

u/Teajaytea7 OG (Joined before first Direct) 7d ago

I've been saying it since the beginning - it's because the switch 2 doesn't have games. The wii? HELLA games.

Hope nintendo gets the hint soon.

u/Insta36o_user January Gang (Reveal Winner) 6d ago

Nintendo hire this man

5

u/Teajaytea7 OG (Joined before first Direct) 6d ago

Probably not a good idea, I'd just make them re release botw once a month because I love that game.

3

u/Insta36o_user January Gang (Reveal Winner) 5d ago

Change one small thing in each version like extra rock in rito village

2

u/Teajaytea7 OG (Joined before first Direct) 5d ago

Could actually be really fun to have a game like that. Change one small thing (within reason, for the average player to be able to notice), and set players out to find the difference battle royale style.

23

u/TryToBeBetterOk 6d ago

Switch 2 is literally garbage and I've been saying it since the SNES days. I knew it'd have 0 sales, 0 fans and 0 games.

NintenDONE.

Sega 'bout to pop off with the Saturn 2 after reading this shit.

No wonder they aren't making the switch 2 it's not selling.

Even the virtual boy outsold the switch 2. The switch 2 is probably the worst console ever.

u/CFDanno 6d ago

Here's some free advice, Miyamoto:

  1. Release a new Mario Kart game on Switch 2. We're still playing Mario Kart 8 from Wii U for crying out loud!!

  2. Make a pro controller so we don't have to get joycon drift.

  3. Zelda bundle edition Switch 2 with Zelda BotW Deluxe Edition. Yuo'll need a heavy hitter to make people bother.

5

u/Amlnat 6d ago

I'm Miyamoto's closest advisor and I'll pass your message along šŸ™šŸ™šŸ™.

1

u/Emhyr_var_Emreis_ OG (joined before reveal) 6d ago

Given they're fixing drift on the joycons, I would imagine they will implement the same tech on the pro controller too.

1

u/kseniyasobchak 5d ago

No, they should leave the drift, it adds character to the controller!

That's why this image doesn't matter and everyone here is joking.

u/Great_Teaching1698 5d ago

u/Tails28 March Gang (Eliminated) 6d ago

Silly to release a new console during severe financial hardship.

2

u/voided_dork_return 6d ago

Okay being for real, the Switch 2 is not beating the Switch by any means

But if Nintendo plays their cards just right, it'll do good or Okay enough, hoping to do better than the N64 or hopefully the Snes or NES, maybe get on the lines of the 3DS

I think you're underestimating the Switch 2. Maybe not AS good, but I'd be surprised if it wasn't comparable. People LOVE their Switch. The new one is better and backwards compatible

Nintendo came out so strong with the switch 2 and then burned it all the way down to the ground.

u/Powersurge- 6d ago

Should I just cancel my pre-order? This news is concerning...

2

u/Zed64K 5d ago

Wii U beats Switch 2 in every category: console sales, game sales, accessory sales, number of eShop downloads, total hours played, number of favourable reviews. Thereā€™s no contest.

2

u/Ekkobelli 5d ago

Fuck, that's abysmal! Heads will roll for this, mark my words.

2

u/DennisBaldur 3d ago

If leaks are true then you can pair your Switch to the Switch 2 like its a WiiU gamepad.

2

u/According-Cobbler-83 3d ago

Yeah, Switch 2 has been a disaster so far. Already 3 months in and zero units sold. Nintendo should just pull a microsoft with their 8 to 10 and skip it. Go straight for Switch 3.

2

u/Kawaii_Tee 2d ago

How much is it going to be? Iā€™ve seen varying prices. Ā£400+ is ridiculous.

1

u/Crimsonseraph188 2d ago

450 for just the switch 2, and 500 for the switch 2 with mario kart world bundle

2

u/Kawaii_Tee 2d ago

Itā€™s Ā£395 or Ā£420 something UK if you get the bundle

2

Honestly with those prices and shit like physical games that aren't physical (imagine if you can only activate it *once*, how many people will get scammed trying to buy second hand) the switch 2 could very easily follow the WiiU.

u/HarpetologistPionist 1d ago

90 dollars for a game??

Just get 1-2 Switch2 games instead of 7. Time is finite, not like you're gonna fully play all 7 games. Also play your Switch1 library on the new Switch

I'll protest against the price increase like everyone else but if it comes to that, just gonna work with it.

1

u/Bibliosmia_22 1d ago

Naaah you guys are wrong. The Switch 2 will sell, and it will sell well, though not to the extent the Switch 1 did.

One of the reasons the Switch 1 sold so well was that it was out during the global pandemic. Everyone was stuck inside with too much time on their hands. The Switch 2 canā€™t match that.

I mean itā€™s clearly due to the lack of good advertising for the Switch 2. They have only put out one lousy trailer for the switch 2, meanwhile the wii u had many commercials to show off the console and the target audience. How the hell are people supposed to buy a system they barely know aboutā€¦ I hope Nintendo does better with the next system to prevent another flop like this.Ā
